Reorder Gallery Images?

Will there ever be a time when we can the ability to organize a photo gallery? Some galleries have hundreds and hundreds of images, many are duplicates. Would be great if I could put all the images from a scene next to each other. Or all the images of an actor next to each other. Better to notice du

May we please add a custom comment writing option for editors?

I think it's time to give editors a better reason for rejecting our submissions. I think "Unable to Verify" is a vague example and I think the editors should give us a more in-depth reason by writing an extended comment in the blank box for them to write. Being unable to verify is a not good enough

Details people. Details.

I do enjoy the trivia and user input here on IMDB, but there’s a few things that could use improvement. 1. Release dates. For God’s sake, not just the year, but the actual release date! Come on. Details people, details. 2. Cast & character info. Are photos of actors really that hard to come

why does a release date need a country?

I'm adding titles from a streaming classical music site (medici.tv), and don't really understand why the release date needs a country. When a title becomes available on this site, it's available worldwide. You have a "worldwide" option for the Distribution company. Why not for the release date?

Add Images

I regularly contribute data to IMDb. I don’t use IMDbPro. I understand I can add images to title pages but not to name pages. Many name pages are lacking primary images. Often these are supporting actors. Of course, for fans images help to bring names and faces together, especially if they are not

Optional extra information for each keyword

I'd like to see an option to add extra information to a keyword, as it applies to a particular title.For each keyword on a title we'd see the following checklist. We'd check the item that applies.__ (1) person, thing or visible quality (such as nudity)__ (2) person, thing or visible quality (off-scr

Keywords: Implement a Hierarchical System

So some users on here (chiefly keyword warrior) spend a lot of time sorting through keywords to isolate redundancies. Takes a lot of effort. But another thing that might be useful is isolating what keywords have hierarchical parents. I'll use detective as an example: anything tagged with "male

Loop / Walla / ADR credits should NOT be Miscellaneous Crew

I get that IMDb wants Loop / ADR credits to be listed as "Miscellaneous Crew". But it's wrong. It should be "Actor", either "voice/various" or simply "loop / walla / ADR". Why? It's a real skill, a real job, one that earns union wages and even residuals in most cases, requires acting chops, and is n
