Timestamps on goofs/quotes/trivia
There is a website called Movie Mistakes which is exactly that: Mistakes in movies, but it also has quotes & trivia. One option that's on there I think would be a really good idea here, as well: Timestamps. It's an optional field in for format HH:MM:SS.

Actual job titles should appear below our names, not arbitrary department headings

Guideline request: Episode edits
It is possible to submit an edit to change the title type of an episode in the way I mention here. I know about this functionality because there was an announcement about it once, but it is not mentioned anywhere in any help features. It would be helpful to add information in the Episode Title/Nu

I'd like to see my stats
I probably should not be suggesting this because they might implement it and then it would reinforce people's social media addiction, which is a bad enough problem already. The whole evil dopamine cycle you know. Fishing for the likes. But I would really like to be able to see the "ratings" of my

Why we need to put mainstream Hollywood and foreign film IMDB pages on lockdown.
To the IMDB staff and users, recently when I tried to add John Wayne credit to Star Wars IV, I'm unable to. I don't know what happened to Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), Full Cast & Crew to get it locked down. I assume it was past vandalism that caused it to be on lockdown. An
