Solved

Credits removed

Hi. I noticed in the beginning of December that most of my sound, sound mixer, boom operator, and sound utility credits over the past 26 years were removed. A good guess is that this happened sometime in November or October? I’m just trying to figure out why after so many years and now most are gone? Since then, I've tried to resubmit a couple of recent credits, but with not much luck. Here is the my name link https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0109341/?ref_=fn_all_nme_1

Hi trillbrill- Thank you for posting the link to the page! Further reviewing and investigating, I can see that your credits were removed from your name page as they were reported to be inaccurate and unable to verify for those titles. In order to get filmography credits added and for our editors to verify the information, additional supporting evidence needs to be submitted within the contribution. Depending whether it is credited on screen or not, there are different types of evidence that can be submitted. If you are able to provide on-screen evidence of your credited work, you can submit the credits again and attach sufficient evidence with your submission. Please refer to our following Help Guide on how to provide supporting evidence for credit verification: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-information/how-can-i-submit-additional-verification-for-a-credit-submission/GN93ME9NVXHVE36E?ref_=helpsrall# Cheers!

Thank you Maya for replying to my post. Bear with me, I'm going to try to give you a little more detailed information. My very last last submission before the Novemberish deletions was in June 2024, I submitted a show I had just finished following IMDb guidelines with sufficient evidence as I've done in the past years. It got accepted. Here is the verification reference number. #240613-003455-057000 But yet it was deleted the same time with hundreds of other credits that I had worked on the past 25 years as a member of IATSE. Deleted all at once. Isn't that a red flag when such a volume of credits is "reported to be inaccurate and unable to verify for those titles" as you stated above. Even titles that the show's Production actually submitted on IMDb for me were deleted. Entire Multi season shows and movies completely deleted. Or some titles I worked on for multi seasons reduced to strangely ony one or two episode. As if a hurriedly finger accidentally missed the click on that check box for delete. And then there's the tell sign that the targeted deletions were only the greatest hits of my résumé, or the more well known titles. Leaving some titles I barely remember working on, or even titles I never worked on and tried numerous times delete myself years past with no avail. This kind of gives me the impression of malice at play if they were all reported at once, as you stated. Hitting a dead end with customer service I slowly made attempts to rebuild with recent credit submissions but got denials, no matter how much proof I uploaded. Call sheets, screen credit, pay stubs, even my MPIPHP work history lists to put extra gravy on the proof. But yet still denied recently for this one #250319-032151-045000 I asked well credited contemporary to submit this for me, but they only allowed him a couple of episodes under my name Same with this movie #250208-142103-505000 And with this movie, not only my proof, but nobody's proof can give me the credit. It still remains an uncredited movie for a sound mixer? #250428-164103-273000 I wouldn't even know where to begin to look for proof for early career shows I worked on like "Sabrina The Teenage Witch". And this is a painstakingly slow and time consuming process to try to rebuild my credits on IMDb. The source that most producers look at before they call you. Or ask you to put a link for under your résumé when you submit for a job. Thank you for your time
