Adding credit on actor's page
Hello, I was refused adding an acting credit on actress Françoise Yip's page though I did provide a screen capture proving the credit. It is submission number #220922-082326-425000. Rip in Time (2022) Françoise Yip is credited number 7 as Dr. Zarkhai. Thanks.

IMDB should allow a short review of a movie/series/episode!
I watched a certain movie, and wanted to say that it's cool with 8/10 rating but it's too bad they didn't focus more on the kiss in the end with music, but the system didn't allow me to post a short review.

Should student and amateur films have their own category? Or should imdb merely be more stringent on short films?

Please find a way to identify BOT comments
Very short post to highlight a problem I encountered recently related to House of Dragons. I was so puzzled by the ratings of the show here compared to my own feelings (whereas normally I trust IMDb rates blindly and am never disappointed). But I saw notably in the comments of episodes 5 that severa

*Goofs*
GoofsI would personally like it much more if "Goofs" were changed to "Interesting oversights" and/or "trivial oversights" as many of the so called "goofs" aren't really goofs at all. Many require freeze frame, and others would be seen more as interesting than "goofs". Perhaps a new category "debunki

New categories needed for greater accuracy?
I've seen this debated before, with the issue between whether IMDb can keep ahead of popular trends and whether it's a viable portal of information. I guess both would be nice, somewhere in between. I was looking at this profile of Louise Jameson: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0417062/?ref_=ra_sb_l

Can we make changes to the IMDB cast and crew contribution feature with website link evidence to prevent credit vandalism.
To the IMDB staff and IMDB users. Lately I've noticed for about 3 years now that some of the IMDB pages like Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis were vandalized with fake mislabeled actors and crew members. The same thing happened with the 2010s Doraemon film pages. I was able to clean up most of the

title manipulations
The number of manipulated titles are increasing in IMDB, a site I use daily. Most gaming platforms now use 2 step verification system which requires the user to add a phone number to their accounts. I think to decrease the number of fake votes, this should be implemented.

Add set medics as a crew category
Every production has set and construction medics. Why are these vital positions not listed as a crew category?
