Correcting a rejected submission help - take 2 with submission

Greetings good people

I’ve been attempting and failing to update the IMDB biography of my father, but each rejection notification carries no useful information as to why they are not meeting due requirements. I have read and reread these guidelines the rejection flags up and cannot identify where my submissions fail. Does anyone have any insights as to how to solve this situation please. Thanks.

Here it is:

Leslie Hodgson was a sound editor but also worked as an editor, notably on Return to Oz (1985), during a career that also included various other roles sound related roles. He is best known for Apocalypse Now (1979), Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) and The Man Who Would Be King (1975). He won The British Guild of Editors award for sound for Julia (1977). Les worked for many top directors including John Huston, Fred Zinnerman, Bruce Beresford, Franco Zefferelli and Stanley Kubrick. The list of films that carry his credit include: War & Peace (1956), The Unforgiven (1960), The Jewel of the Nile (1985), Mister Johnson (1990). Uncredited, he was brought in as a supervising sound editor on Zefferelli's Romeo & Juliet (1968), and was invited back by the director to work on Brother Sun, Sister Moon (1972).He was part of the team that developed Dolby surround sound whilst working on Apocalypse Now. In 1989, Les was one of the founders of The Association of Motion Picture Sound (AMPS), a British craft guild for people working in film and television sound, and now includes game sound. Leslie died on 16 December 2003 in Lewisham, London, England, UK.

Hi HerbTea-

In order for our staff to further help, can you post the 18-digit submission reference number for your mini-bio contribution?

Cheers!

@Maya​ thanks.

The submission number is #241228-113200-152000

The submission rejection states “We believe your contribution contains factual inaccuracies,” but not what facts. Message to IMDB, you have my email. All that I wrote is factually correct, please elaborate on what you think is inaccurate. Thanks.

@HerbTea​ Thank you for providing the submission reference number!

I can see various parts within this mini-bio which already have their own sections on the site and therefore, should be submitted in their respective sections instead (ie. Death dates, Credits, Awards). 

You are welcome to make the corrections and then re-submit the mini-bio so that our editors can take another look for you.

Cheers!
