Algorithms for "suggested people"?
I don't know much about algorithms - I can barely spell it - but I think we'd have a lot less "I'm not sure, let the IMDb staff decide..." and duplicates on the system if the suggestions that the system gives were a little more accurate, if this was possible...? I was adding a vision mixer with a v

Creation of "Production Department"
I believe there is a strong need for a "Production Department" section in crew credits. It is not a department of "Additional", "Other", or "Misc" crew. The Production Men, Women and People are the backbone of every Film & TV Show since the creation of the medium and across the globe. I believe

Idea for reviewing
Dear reader(s), Wouldn't it be something to mention the best series and/or movie and the age of the review writers? A 16-year-old likes completely different things than a 60-year-old, for example, and that way you get a better picture of the rating. Happy New Year and greetings from Arnhem, the Neth

Separate crew department categories please!
I love IMDB and use it a lot for research and as an easy verifiable way to show my own credits to perspective employers. Truly a great website for movie people that I use almost daily. I have one bone to pick and I am hoping someone from IMDB can help me to understand why this is and if perhaps ther

Accepted Solution
The country "Turkey" is now TÜRKIYE since June 2022- It should be changed in IMDb database, in my opinion
"Following an official letter submitted to the United Nations by the Republic of Türkiye, the country's name has been officially changed to Türkiye at the UN." (03 June 2022) Shouldn't it be changed in IMDb database? It always hurts my eyes when placing a submission where the country must

Are you ever going to make watching the film or tv show a requirement for writing outlines and summaries?
I contribute to pages quite a lot, and most of the contributions are rewriting plot outlines and deleting nonsense summaries, written by people who have clearly never watched more than a few minutes of whatever they're writing about. Many have clearly been contributed after only watching the trailer
