API Improvement needed for de-skewing ratings

I want to develop an algorithm that de-skews IMDB rating histories. I hypothesize that early episodes in series are skewed downward by viewers who check out a show and decide it's not to their liking and stop watching (see sample show graph below.)

Please add Lithuanian symbols so people can spell their names correctly

I have noticed that there aren’t Lithuanian symbols when adding titles or names. This is sad, as in this day and age people should be able to spell their names right and many other websites support symbols from other languages than English. In Lithuanian case, there’s only a few, for example ė (two

Reset Pass Word

Would it not be a GOOD idea to put the message block for password recovery at the first page of the website instead of it being buried in later pages?

Copying credits should not include order and attributes from first episode of selected set

When adding credits to an episode there is an option to copy credits from a selected season or year. If you do that, it will copy all the data from the first credit for that person in that season/year (as far as I can tell). That is not always helpful. If the credit has been copied and approved but

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
