Is there an option to include more reason to a declined contribution?

New to contributing here and was once told it's easy to add to imdb and hard to try to correct/fix mistakes. With that knowledge, I've been trying to read rules and follow to the best of my ability so I can avoid the process of removing mistakes. I understand there may be a high volume of contributi

Repeated valid credits declined despite verifiable evidence from multiple productions

Hello, I am currently facing an ongoing issue with multiple credit submissions on my IMDb page, and I would greatly appreciate clarification or a manual review from the IMDb team.

PLEASE VOTE Consolidating locations and cause of death

The locations for birth/death are unruly. Can they be consolidated? Having the location tab auto populate as you type would relieve this problem I think. New York City alone has this many options.... New Yok City, New York, USA New York New York City New York City, New York New York City, New York U

It's going in circles - we always end up in the same place.

It's unbearable, simply frustrating. IMDb has once again rejected entries as "Unable to verify" that have been demonstrably verified: #260320-221844-966000 #260321-134609-161000 #260321-140153-748000 #260321-140953-359000 #260321-141902-581000 #260321-142650-072000 #260321-143922-614000 #260321-1448

'Demon Hunter: Time 2 Kill' release issue and wrong year

My film 'Demon Hunter: Time 2 Kill' is not released until late 2026 but IMDB has it listed as released in 2024 even though we exited post-production January 2026. We sent it to film festivals as a work in progress state but it is not available publicly to be seen as we are still signing a distributi

Why do my ratings on the score and Parents' Guide not show up?

I have submitted ratings here and there for the rating score and severity level, but they do not show up, and I am curious as to why that is. This is less a problem and more a general question, as I am not sure if I am marked as spam or not. I do not know how it works, if that makes any sense.

FitzPatrick Traveltalks

I am a fan of the FitzPatrick Traveltalks and have seen quite a few of them on Turner Classic Movies. I use the Advanced Search and sort them by release date to keep track of the ones I've seen.

Who does Amazon think they are demanding free labor?

Amazon's annual revenue for 2025 was approximately $716.92 billion, yet they want free labor. Not all submissions on IMDb are provided by free labor, but a vast majority of the data—including filmographies, trivia, and plot summaries—is added by users who volunteer their time and effort.

Changing "Known for" credits for company page and separating commercials from our films/docs/shorts?

I am working for a production company and am being asked to edit our "Known for" credits. When I click on our credits in IMDB PRO and then attempt to edit them, I'm brought to an IMDBPro Contributor site where editing "Known for" credits does not seem to be an option. Would love some assistance with
