Added series to the wrong name.
There are two individuals named Chris Jump: Chris Jump (I) and Chris Jump (II). I am Chris Jump (I), and my credit for the project titled "Donors" has been mistakenly attributed to Chris Jump (II). What steps can be taken to rectify this issue?
Thank you!

Chris: Since there is no information on the page for the page for Chris Jump (II) other than the credits for "Donors", it appears that he is not a separate person, but just a duplicate entry for yourself.
If so, here is how you would fix that. Go to the page for Chris Jump (II) at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm16828112/. Click "Edit page".
On the next screen, on the Name Merge line, select "Add merge". Scroll down and click "Continue".
On the next screen, there will be a blank line on which to enter the corrected name. Enter it as:
Jump, Chris (I)
There will be a checkbox labeled "Preserve previous name on existing credits. i.e. '(as Chris Jump)'". Un-check this box; it doesn't apply because you are dealing with two name pages both for the same name.
In the Explanation box, enter something like this: "I am Chris Jump. My photos and other information appear on the page for Chris Jump (I), but my only credits, for the TV series "Donors", have been entered on the page for Chris Jump (II). There is no other information on the page for Chris Jump (II); both the Chris Jump (I) and (II) pages refer to me. I am requesting that the pages be merged to remove the duplicate page." Click "Check these updates".
On the next screen, you will get a warning that says, "You are about to merge two separate name pages into one. Are you sure you wish to merge this name page into the page for Jump, Chris (I)?" That's what you want, so check the box marked "Warning understood, go ahead anyway." Click "Re-check these updates".
On the next screen, your data should appear with a green background, and you should be able to click "Submit these updates".
Allow a few days for the merge to go through. Good luck!
