Titles in data fields don't necessarily match the title for the original release, user's region, or user's language.
I first noticed this when I saw that the trailers and images for the movie "The F Word" (2013), which is the original release title and official English release title here in Canada, are using the alternate U.S. release title "What If". This struck me as a slightly odd but minor issue so I ignored i

All other cast credits for this title are unordered so far.
Is this warning even necessary? Someone posts a few random unordered credits for a TV episode and when I go to complete the cast, I have to click this box for 30+ credits. Absolutely ridiculous.

Captioning errors entered as Goofs
I'm seeing a lot of Goofs identifying differences between the movie's audio and the captions; these are not Goofs per IMDb guidelines.

Allow people to delete reviews even when it's pending
When someone posts a review. It would be super nice to actually allow people a function that allows you to delete that review or edit it after it's posted but currently in "pending" process. I don't want to waste moderator time. But I had wanted to send a review of Insidious: red door movie. But had
