Movie reviews are broken on many fronts

I feel passionate about the written review and this time I shall tell everything wrong about the system and would love to see atleast one of these problems fixed quickly. 1) Review process takes seemingly random times.

Emergency Action Needed - Implement Voter Verification

IMDb ratings are not culturally or commercially congruent to social media upvotes - or even governmental elections; IMDb ratings outlast topicality cyles and outlive governments globally - they appear at the top sections of search engine results and are the permanent face of a film; it's beyond an e

Should IMDb Change How It Handles Incorrect "Ghost Credits"?

I’ve been thinking about how IMDb handles long-standing credits that may be incorrect, especially for older and lesser-known films. Sometimes a performer is listed in a movie even though dedicated fans, collectors, or researchers have carefully reviewed the film and cannot find that person anywhere

Allow comments when reporting

For “Ralph wrecks the internet” in the Parent section, there is a tiny comment like “bunny is over-fed and explodes off-screen.” This is a huge understatement of what really happens.

Add preview function to editing contributions

I recently was making a new contribution to a trivia item, and was linking a few movie/person profiles. It provides feedback on what may be wrong with your post, but if it doesn't recognize something, it won't show you that it's wrong. In this case, I'd done the following: _Show Title_ (qv). Since I

Due to the fact that I cannot add the language Murui Huitoto in the documentary The Lost Children (2024) page, I'd like to suggest the possibility for the user to enter new languages in the 'Language' drop-down menu since the new entry will be analyzed by a moderator like anyway.

There should be a section for religion on pages for people.

I was thinking of having political views as a section but that’s too abstract. But I don’t see the point of having publicity listings, video and screen clips, and star sign. It seems like too much info compared to a religion section.

Important: Enabling Producer Credit Order

The "Producer" credits on a film should be able to be listed in the appropriate order per a film's end credits, just like cast can be ordered. It's unfair that the producer list is alphabetized because it doesn't allow for anyone to see who the lead producer is. As well all know "producer" credits a
