Blatant By-line Bio Theft: AGAIN!!!!
I brought this issue to your attention on April 10th when one of my bio entries had its by-line altered to 'anonymous' by a malicious troll. I received the message from Maya: @janusminoa- Thank you for reporting and providing further information! Upon reviewing, further actions have been taken to prevent incorrect modifications. Alas, yet again, I have been targeted, presumably by the same vandal. The following two by-lines of bios previously submitted by me were altered during the last 24 hours (Note: NO OTHER CHANGES WERE MADE OTHER THAN THE BY-LINE!): Producer Charles H. Schneer (nm0773677), originally submitted 2012-09-12 03:10:24 (120912-031024-034000) and director Clarence G. Badger (nm0046082) originally submitted 2012-09-05 06:06:20 (120905-060620-775000). This continues to be an ongoing problem, despite repeated assurances from staff that the practice of stealing by-lines has been stopped. Below copies of the last paragraph of each bio as it read this morning. I have since reclaimed my authorship of the items. Schneer retired in the 1980's, once stop-motion work had been somewhat superseded by cheaper computer-generated special effects. He continued to reside at his Holland Park home in West London until returning to the United States just three years prior to his death in 2005. - IMDb mini biography by: Anonymous In 1935, he moved out of his Spanish colonial-style mansion in the Hollywood Hills and emigrated to Australia a year later. Except for a couple of independently produced melodramas filmed in New South Wales, Clarence Badger spent the remainder of his life in happy retirement. - IMDb mini biography by: Anonymous I would REALLY appreciate if this problem could be resolved once and for all.
