Solved

I got a piece of trivia that I submitted REJECTED 10 times!

I have an interesting fact that I submitted to IMDb, and I know it’s interesting because I have since seen 2 articles and a tik tok video on the exact trivia fact. It’s was for the movie Happy Gilmore 2. My submission got denied 10 times, saying that it “didn’t fit the proper formatting”. I obviously edited it each time thinking that I’m fixing their extremely vague denial reason. So I finally submitted it for an 11th time! This time they denied it with “Other” for a reason. Has anyone else had trouble submitting things like that? It hardly promotes interaction with the audience. This is my fact down below, I put the names and titles in where the original had IMDb’s link format, so that it could be understood. Can anyone figure out what I did wrong? Trivia: Many actors and characters from Happy Gilmore (1996) were present in this sequel. At the first major tournament, Adam Sandler approaches professional golfer Will Zalatoris asking him if he would be his caddy again, Will Zalatoris was playing the grown up version of Happy Gilmore's caddy. But, Will Zalatoris was not in the first movie. The younger version of the caddy was played by actor Jared Van Snellenberg . Also, Will Zalatoris bares a striking resemblance to Jared Van Snellenberg 's caddy character and has embraced this resemblance so much that he got "Mr. Gilmore, I'm your caddy", which is a quote from the first movie, written on his lobe wedge.

Here's my suggested rewrite of this trivia item. Professional golfer Will Zalatoris plays a fictionalized version of himself. Zalatoris is known in real life for his physical resemblance to Jared Van Snellenberg, who played Happy's (unnamed) caddy in Happy Gilmore (1996), and has embraced this resemblance so much that he has the words "Mr. Gilmore, I'm your caddy" engraved on his lob wedge. Zalatoris's character is portrayed as the adult version of Van Snellenberg's character.

Sooo I got rejected again. For this reason: ReasonDoes not meet contribution guidelines. Your contribution has been declined.Please review our submission guidelines. This is exactly how I submitted it: Professional golfer [link=nm12476934] plays a fictionalized version of himself. Zalatoris is known in real life for his physical resemblance to [link=nm0888006], who played Happy's (unnamed) caddy in [link=tt0116483], and has embraced this resemblance so much that he has the words "Mr. Gilmore, I'm your caddy" engraved on his lob wedge. Zalatoris' character is portrayed as the adult version of [link=nm0888006] 's character. The brackets are part of their format requirements. It creates a link to the celebrity or title’s IMDb page.

Maya, Thank you so much, I appreciate you looking into this for me. I love IMDb, and wish I could submit more often. I have tried submitting trivia for 3 movies including this last one. I have stories from submitting the first two that went just like this last submission. , I almost didn’t send this last one in. But I ended up getting one denied and one accepted, so I figured I would try one more time. It would be good to know what I was doing wrong though. Thank you again. I appreciate you and you helping me out. Cheers!

Also while this is going on, someone recently submitted trivia that basically said what I submitted originally weeks ago, the day the movie came out. So now mine is a bit redundant
