Mandatory reason for decline
Hello,I'd like to suggest a simple thing: when a review gets declined, there should be a mandatory reason mentioning the reason for.

Identifying every actor in a cast (See: Aveleyman)
Anyone here familiar with Aveleyman? Their goal is to identify as many actors as possible, in as many titles as possible, with a screenshot for each. This is helpful when you are unable to figure out who played who from the cast list alone. (How many character names stick in our heads?)Here's a samp

Adding Movie Titles
Right now it seems as if I have to scroll to the bottom every time to add new titles, should there be a box at the top of the page to search and add titles without the incessant scrolling. Also is there a block where I can search my own titles on IMDB without having to alphabetize and scroll

Contributor is listed for plot summary but not synopsis
When I look at the plot info for an entry (e.g., Killing Eve, season 3, episodes 5 and 7), the identity of the contributor of the summary is shown, but not the contributor of the synopsis (who is a different person, namely me). Why is the contributor of the synopsis not shown?

Not getting a review-denied response, leaves people unaware...
Not getting a review-denied response, leaves people unaware that they need to give their review another go,.. ... and that's even if expecting (unreasonably) that they will be necessarily able to work out what they did wrong. Having to keep copies yourself, should not be necessary, if IMDB jus

Avoiding duplicate images
So the system can recognize that an image is a duplicate when I upload an image twice. Note: when I first thought to write this the first image uploaded was still pending. Not sure if that matters. So can't the eggheads on staff somehow tweak the algorithms so that the system can recognize a duplica

We need an image gallery overhaul. I cannot be the only person having problems with how the image galleries are structured and organized.
When it comes to popular TV series (and to a lesser extent ... popular movies) and their (literal) unmanageable thousands and thousands of images in their respective image galleries? I. Placement seems random. And I mean REALLY random. Unprofessionally so for a database as popular and well regarded
