An "Incorrectly regarded as Goof" item had no explanation as to why it was not a Goof; I simply provided the explanation. It's a well-know tactic in cartoons that a magnet attracts only that metal that the animators and director want it to. 

Please justify not accepting my additional text, but maintaining the category as "Incorrectly regarded as Goof" when the item's text indicates the submitter actually believes animated shorts actually conform to real-life physics.

I submitted corrections to 3 Goofs submitted in the category "Miscellaneous"; it seems that is the reason they were rejected as the text I added is justifies that the items are no, in fact, Goofs at all. In fact, the first item regarding a song being the favorite of the section of the band that doesn't participate in the song is a well-known joke among musicians.

I would like to know if there is a valid reason for declining these corrections, especially as the IMDb Style Guide states, regarding the category of Goof "Miscellaneous": "This category is hardly ever used - if you can't shoehorn your goof into any of the above categories it's probably not a goof."

Hi critterc74-

Thank you for posting the reference! Further reviewing, the reason why this was declined is because opinions are not allowed on Trivias as per our guidelines.

Cheers!

@Maya​ I respectfully disagree that it is my opinion; it is a fact that there is an absence of information. The argument can be made that the actress passed away decades ago, as actors living into their late 90s are usually celebrated. I would argue that a contributor proclaiming that a person unheard of in the past 80 years will turn 100 years old in 2027 is also an opinion; but it is an opinion based on zero facts.

A trivia item states the last living cast member will turn 100 next year. In researching the actor, I discovered that there is no information available on her (Dena Penn) after 1945, the year of her last film appearance. Information from internet searches include: "No confirmed death date, family details, marriage, or later occupation have been recorded in accessible sources." "done quite a lot of research on this young lady and I very sorry to say I can not find anything on her which is very unusual. She's literally vanished it seems." 

I found it somewhat ludicrous that a statement positively averring a woman to be living at 99 years of age, when there has been no information about her in over 80 years is allowed to be listed in IMDb without any qualification. Please tell me how my additional information does not meet IMDb's contribution guidelines.

Please refer to my previous post about declining corrections to Goofs that are mischaracterized as "Miscellaneous".

This post was merged in a confusing way. Maya's reply belongs under the post about trivia.
