Fix wrongly rejected
I have submitted the same correction to an erroneous synopsis, twice, and each time it has been rejected, with different reasons.
The 1946 BBC programme "First Year Flashbacks":
https://contribute.imdb.com/title/tt9195108
is described as "Reopening of Television Service, 7th June 1946".
While it does /include/ a clip of that, it contains far more, including footage filmed on various dates, some of it in the United States.
I submitted a change to make it "Highlights of the first year of BBC television filmed broadcasts, following the reopening of Television Service, after WWII, on 7 June 1946"
This was rejected as "We believe your contribution contained factual inaccuracies."
So I submitted the change again, explaining as justification that "My amendment may be verified at https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00s7hzf/firstyear-flashbacks which reads : 'First transmitted in 1946, these are highlights of the films shown on BBC Television since it reopened in June of that year after a seven-year gap caused by World War II. The BBC's television service had stopped transmitting on 1 September 1939, and did not resume until 7 June 1946'; and which gives a broadcast date of '31 Dec 1946'."
This was rejected with the completely unhelpful boilerplate "Does not meet contribution guidelines" - with no mention of /why/ it supposedly does not do so.
Should I just give up?
