Idea: Add a magnifying glass icon for top contributors of goofs and filming locations

How about a special reward for the top contributors of goofs and filming locations since they both are time consuming to report accurately. Maybe a little magnifying glass?And I may or may not be saying this because I currently have Mean Streets freeze framed with a google map up on my laptop.

Need to adjust rating algorithm to prevent massive 9 vote spikes

I have noticed that some movies with high ratings are because there a huge number of 9 votes ... way out of proportion to the number of 10 votes or 8 votes (as many as 98% of all votes). I know that the IMDB algorithm for determining averages compensates for large numbers of 10 votes or 1 votes, but

Idea for the parental advisory page

We really find the parental advisory pages useful for determining whether to watch certain movies or not. There is just one idea I have for improvement though since there seems to be one type of category missing, and it would affect our decision to watch certain movies or not, and that is content ha

Change displayed primary poster on main credits page

As you are probably aware of, many main credit pages do not display an aprropiate film poster. Instead, there are photos of movie stills, bad box artwork, atrociously bad photoshopped covers and in some cases film posters of bad quality.

Listing of episode pages without episode number

Two days ago, I cleaned up seasons 14 and 15 of The First 48 by attempting to "Add episode" for 30 missing episodes. From those 30 attempts, IMDb found 10 existing pages that simply did not have an episode number specified; thus, they did not appear on the "Episode List" pages.Does an error listing

Sorting updates by status

There should be a functionality on the "Update History" page which would help us (the contributors) list the updates with the status rejected (for waiting for additional info etc.). Now I have to check each upodate one by one to see if I am required to supply additional info. Thanks.

Online video games should have TV Series type pages, rather than films

Online video games which add content regularly, such as RuneScape or World of Worldcraft should have a TV Series type of page, not a film. The reason for this is the year.It shows the year when the games were first released, but that doesn't make sense when the game has been around for a long time a

Need to Denote Where a TV Show/TV Movie Aired

As you no doubt know, IMDb originated as a database of movies, but has been adapted to include TV shows, including TV movies.Unfortunately, in adapting this DB to include TV items, apparently no one thought to include one vital missing piece of information.That is, where did a program air, not just
