How To Challenge Declined Contributions

I attempted to delete a trivia entry for an episode because the trivia entry is completely wrong. The entry was for the show Grimm, Episode 18 of Season 1. The entry was: "This is the first episode in which Nick is shown writing his own entry in the Grimm Diaries about wesen." - I made the edit to delete this because the event the entry details, Nick writing in the diaries, does not appear in the episode at all. However, this edit was declined saying it does not meet guidelines. Yet, on review of the guidelines, yes, my edit absolutely does. I do not understand why the trivia entry, which is completely incorrect, can't be edited for being incorrect? Is there a way to challenge this decision?

You can resubmit, perhaps with a better explanation if possible. Or you can post here and include the contribution reference number.

I resubmitted but it was declined again as "unable to verify". For a place that constantly says they're "committed to accuracy" their insistence on letting people make inaccurate stuff up is confusing as heck. If nobody at imdb can watch an episode to verify stuff then what is point? And where was this "unable to verify" when somebody was making crap up for this trivia entry? This is bananas. Reference: 250413-002603-532000 The Trivia Entry that is wrong: "This is the first episode in which Nick is shown writing his own entry in the Grimm Diaries about wesen." My explanation for the attempt to delete: "This trivia entry is incorrect. Nick is not shown writing in the diary in this episode. Also, the first time Nick wrote in the diary was two episodes prior, in Season 1, Episode 16: "The Thing With Feathers" where he wrote about the Klaustrike."

Hi Cyb3rM1nd- Thank you for posting the submission reference number! Further reviewing, we declined the trivia because we verified that this information is correct. You are welcome to review the timestamp and if you have further evidence to support it, you can include it within a re-submission. Cheers!
