Remove the "1 more credit" link for directors/writers on film pages

When a movie has 3 or more directors/writers, there is a link to full credits after the first 2, saying "x more credit(s)", but it would seem to make more sense if this would begin at 4 instead of 3 (so "2 more credits" or more), because if there is only 1 more credit, you might as well just show th

Suggestion: better job credit prioritization (more credence to director, less to producer, less to writer)

"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.
