Duplicate files for the same Australian laboratory company

There are 7 laboratories in Sydney, Australia, that are the same. I am not going after those with the same name in New Zealand, Netherlands, or elsewhere - that may be or not in the same company or group. [co0036232] Colorfilm Pty Ltd Australia with 50 entries [co0323322] Colorfilm Australia with 14 entries and the companies that appear on the menu available at Laboratories, and I was not able to catch elsewhere... Colorfilm Pty with 1 entry Colorfilm with 26 entries Colorfilm Laboratories, Victoria, Australia with 4 Colorfilm Pty Ltd, Sydney, Australia with 96 Colorfilm, Sydney, Australia with 6 It stands to reason that all above companies are Colorfilm Pty. Ltd., Sydney, Australia - which should appear just as «Colorfilm [au]» if the norm about leaving legal acronyms off the database would have been enforced. Is there some human staff in IMDb with spare time to do the job I can't, of merging all those files into one? Thank you.

Hi artemis_9 - For the two company listings you specifically pointed out, I have now combined them to a single listing under "Colorfilm [AU]" - [co0323322]. I wasn't able to locate the additional company listings you mentioned. If there are other duplicates can you post those company page numbers/links here so I can take a look?

Thank you, you did what I couldn't do. I was not able to locate the company files for the other names I copied from the download menu, either because I failed to copy the commas right or something. I know, from a similar incident in the past, that IMDb treats Laboratories differently from Companies, and that could be the reason why those other names appear in a Laboratories menu, but not in the Companies menu. I give that part up.
