"Car 54 Where Are You" Frederick O'Neal image needs replacement
I have been watching episodes of "Car 54 Where Are You" and found it to be one of the very few shows from the 60's to have black actors. When I as a white 10 year watched it in 1961 I had no idea how far ahead of the field this wacky comedy was.Nipsey Russell, Ossie Davis, Mel Stewart and Frede

Corrections to existing series credits that should have had episodic credits
On many occasions I've tried to correct a credit that is in the wrong department by deleting the current credit and creating a new identical credit in the proper department, and it usually works fine.

Why can’t I select a language for the movies that are suggested for me?
I am from a small rural area where 97% of the population is Caucasian and I would say about 99.5% of the population’s primary language is English. I, myself, can only speak and understand English.

Suggestion: better job credit prioritization (more credence to director, less to producer, less to writer)
People have a way of prioritizing roles of importance in how they think of people. I think the order is generally Director > Writer > Producer. Then for actor, it sort of depends, probably more on if they've done more acting roles or directing roles. I think IMDb simply sorts it by # of roles.

"Submitted Updates" list should include status of updates
I like to look back over my updates to see whether they've been accepted or rejected (mostly so if rejected I can maybe rephrase and try again). That process would be a lot easier if the "Submitted Updates" list in "Update History" included counts of items pending/accepted/rejected.

A few more words on rejections would be nice
I've been making numerous minor corrections - copy editing, typos, links, duplicates - and every once in a while something gets rejected. This happens most often on duplicate deletion, with "not verified", even when I supply a link to the item that duplicates the one I'm deleting.My only option (ot

Randall Miller, "Higher Grounds"
Randall Miller, Director of "Higher Grounds" was convicted in the death of crew member Sarah Jones. I'm not sure how he got this film made, but this title should be removed from IMDB.com and pressure should be brought to bear to make sure that it does not get distribution.
