"Goof" correction.

https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/250716-185146-273000/?ref_=ra_his_wa - Why was this correction declined? I cited the specific IMDb guidelines justifying the change, similar to literally hundreds of other previous changes I've submitted that were accepted. Please tell me the difference, so I don't waste my time in the future.

Hi critterc74- Thank you for posting the submission reference number! Further reviewing, this was a processing error which has been reported. This has been re-submitted on your behalf and approved. The changes will be live on the site shortly. Cheers!

Thank you, Maya. However, I have another similar comment re a Goof correction on Godfather Part II - the item was written in 1st person, and the time stamp did not conform to IMDb Style Guidelines. I submitted a correction, which was declined based on the generic "Please review our submission guidelines." I have reviewed the guidelines in great detail, and the majority of my submissions are corrections due to items whose submitters obviously have NOT reviewed the guidelines. As there are hundreds, if not thousands, of guidelines provided, the reason for "declining" an item needs to be more specific than simply referring to those guidelines. After all, IMDb accepted the original submission that didn't follow the guidelines to begin with.
