Declined corrections

I again had various corrections declined where I provided proof. https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/250313-061311-06900 https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/250314-063610-472000 https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/250313-060150-451000 I feel the quality of approvers is really low. The absolute pinnacle is this one: https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/250224-105700-451000 . The actor himself states in an interview that the IMDb information is incorrect, yet my change is rejected...

IMDb has been seemingly run by incompetent editors now. Most of them (or maybe one person in particular) don't even bother to check various sources listed in your contribution and easily dismiss it, much to our chagrin. I have now demoted myself to a sporadic contributor rather than an almost full-time one because verifiable submissions are sadly ignored. That sporadic part could change anytime to hardly if the problem persists.

Hi Cantillon- Thank you for posting the submission reference numbers! Further reviewing, the first 3 submissions were declined because of the lack of supporting evidence. In order for our editors to verify these information, additional supporting evidence needs to be submitted within your contribution. Depending whether and how the person is credited on screen or not, the guide below mentions which types of evidence can be submitted and how to submitted. For further information, you are welcome to review the following guide How to submit supporting evidence for a credit submission: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-information/how-can-i-submit-additional-verification-for-a-credit-submission/GN93ME9NVXHVE36E?ref_=helpsrall# As per the Bio Trivia submission, this has been corrected and the changes will be live on the site shortly. Cheers!

For https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/250313-060150-451000 , there wasn't even a credit listing as original source, as it is (uncredited). It is not too far fetched that Jennifer Graham credited as singer on Constantine is the same as Jenny Graham(II) since the other people credited as singer on Constantine share credits with Jenny Graham(II). For https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/250313-061311-069000 , there very likely just is a typo or alternative spelling in the God of War credits. The chances for that are a gazillion times higher than someone with the same name not having a single singer credit suddenly singing in that game. Certainly because again, there are people who are credited on that game who also share other credits with Jenny Graham (II). For https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/250314-063610-472000 , the Footpath Pictures person literally says she worked at SouthPeak where Dark Side of the Moon was produced. All the voice talents in that credit listing are people who also worked in other roles at the company. Is this is not considered proof, well yeah, then be prepared to have a lot of mistakes and duplicate profiles in your database.

@Cantillon- As mentioned above, you are welcome to re-submit them and provide the respective supporting evidence as highlighted on the Help Guide whether it is for both namess listed or not listed on the end credits.

I re-added three of the ones I mentioned above, and two got declined again. https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/250422-182319-545000 https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/250422-181849-495000 I think it's rather strange that when entering credits they can be easily attached to the wrong person with the same name without much ado, but getting them split after some sound reasoning seems impossible. I am kind of done with this. I am an admin on MobyGames and just try to correct wrong IMDb credits if I notify them while I am fixing MobyGames credits. But I'll take note you rather have wrong data and I will not put any effort in this site anymore.

@Cantillon- These were rejected as you will need to provide further supporting evidence as highlighted on the Help Guide linked above.

I put all evidence and reasoning I have in the relevant comment field? There is nothing more I can say. And besides the in-game credit roll screenshot showing someone in there with the same name as the correct person, there is no proof for the current credit situation I'd say. (I also have no idea where I can easily see why something is rejected exactly. It's always the standard "Unable to verify. Your contribution has been declined.We have been unable to verify your contribution.") Anyhow, I can spend my time better by actually fixing credits in MobyGames than arguing here.
