Declined corrections

In item #250925-004858-385000, the reason for declining a correction is "Your contribution has been declined. We did not capture a specific reason during processing." The correction (a) added 5 links [IMDb Guidelines, Goofs, D. Style Guide, 1. Hyperlinks states: "If you mention a person or a title (movie, TV series / episode) that is also listed on IMDb, YOU MUST USE (emphasis added) the [link=title number or person number] to automatically create a hyperlink to the relevant page."] and (b) changed a past tense verb to present tense [IMDb Guidelines, Goofs, D. Style Guide, 2. Style & Grammar, 2nd bullet states: "Do write all submissions in the PRESENT TENSE" (emphasis added)]. So could a "specific reason" now be captured to justify the declination?

Hi critterc74 - I have resubmitted the Trivia correction on your behalf and it has now been approved. The changes should be live on the site shortly. Cheers!

OK - here's another one; for Quick Change, item #250927-043359-199000. I got the typical "Your contribution has been declined. Please review our submission guidelines." I have reviewed the submission guidelines, and he thing that really irks me is that I quote the applicable guideline that justifies my correction. (By the way, the Guidelines really need a good editing and some updating.) Thanks, Bob
