Create individual sub-heading for PRODUCTION SERVICE COMPANIES

Yes, I do work at one but bias and pride aside, I would have thought it would make sense all round to extract the Production Service company (or companies) from the OTHER COMPANIES and create a new heading just for them either immediately above or below DISTRIBUTORS. After all, everyone else listed

Time for the Archive Footage guide to be updated

With the proliferation (i.e. unrestrained glut) of "archive footage" cast entries for non-fiction TV programs, I think it's time for the current guide on Archive Footage entries to get a major overhaul, as it was likely written to deal primarily with films: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribut

SQL scripts provided by IMDB?

Dear IMDB community, Someone I know made a suggestion to IMDB, and the friendly and caring IMDB responder suggested to make a post on this forum. I am here to create that post. The IMDB responder communicated about a vote that could be held in the thread, so as to gauge interest and the like, whi

Credit on IMDB

I have done a number of dubbing jobs for Netflix and would like them credited on my IMDB. I know at present these performances are not actionable listings. I implore IMDB to change the policy in this regard. Dubbing a role originated in another language is a unique creative expression all it's own.

Your Contribution History (Beta) - only lists episode name and not series name

I've just looked at the new beta version of the Contribution History page: Your Contribution History (Beta). I have one suggestion: it would be a good idea for television episodes if the series name as well as the episode name was listed. This is particularly true where an episode has not been gi

Title declined. No field for "Explanation for missing information"

I filled out the "new title" form with over 40 something little bits of information, and when I checked the title status, it was declined. I see I had to do more to prove the existence of the film.  The instructions suggest either adding a miscellaneous link with third party coverage, or an ex

ABC Television Studios, 4151 Prospect Ave, in Yorba Linda???

Noticed on the page for Barney Miller TV show, the Filming Location is listed as ABC Television Center, 4151 Prospect Avenue — However, the *map link* takes you to Prospect Avenue in Yorba Linda CA, not Hollywood. Looks like the facility is now called The Prospect Studios, 4151 Prospect Ave, 90

how can I find out which user comments were deleted?

Hi, Via the total number of my user comments, I can see that occasionally some are disappearing. Possibly they are deleted following a complaint by fellow user? But if the number changes from 4.500 to 4.499 overnight, I cannot know which one is gone.  Is there a possibility to find out which

Imdb use of the word “actress”

IMDb uses the word “actress” for female actors. This word is outdated, and the use of it is discriminative against women. Because the suffix “ess” is used when you want to derivate another word that describes something smaller, less, etc. You must change this policy immidiately.

Steve Allen biography

Can someone please post a decent biography for the late great Steve Allen? Three paragraphs about the cause of his death is hardly a fitting tribute. And no, I'm not the person to write it, but I will heap appreciation on whoever does.https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006752/
