Somebody is credited incorrectly as director on my series

A series that I was the only director on incorrectly listed the DOP as a director too. I wish this to be removed.

Hi there I’m afraid u tried these things already and will only let me edit my own credit not the erroneous one. Please advise next steps.

@Jamielangton It will be easier to advise you if you provide a link to the title page of the show and you indicate at least one episode on which the DOP needs to be removed. Are you trying to edit the series level title instead of the individual episodes? Please see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/how-do-i-add-an-episodic-credit/GRRHUZAQPQV4T2F9 for an explanation of how credits on TV shows work once a show has any episodes listed.

Hi - here is a link to the series in question. The issue is that there are two Directors listed but I was the only director. It is correct that Yohan should be on there as DOP but not as a Director. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20754208/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cst_sm

@Jamielangton Thanks for providing the details. As suspected, the issue here is that you are trying to edit the series page at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20754208/fullcredits/ but this page is just a summary of the data stored at the individual episode level. You could edit each of the 10 episodes individually, however, a faster method is to go to https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4761497/ and edit the "Directors" section where you can request the deletion in bulk. It looks like someone else has added Yoann's director of photography credits to the correct department so all that is left is for you to delete their director credits. Hope this helps.

I've had a look at this and it is not clear what to do, and it doesn't give me the option to edit the Directors section? This is incredibly confusing, can you please be more explicit?

If you start at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4761497/ then scroll towards the bottom of the page, there's a button labelled "Edit page" which takes you into the contribution forms. Scroll down the form until you see the "Filmography (non-acting)" heading and within that section there's a line "Director Credits" -- change the menu on the right of that line from "No change" to "Correct / Delete" then press the "Continue" button at the bottom of the page. When the page redraws you will see all of Yoann's credits listed for the show -- change the "Action" menu to the left of each credit from "Keep" to "Delete" and then press the button "Check these updates" at the bottom of the page. When the page re-draws, under each credit there is an explanation form into which you can write something like: "I am the director of this show and Yoann Desmoyers-Davis was only the cinematographer. They are already correctly credited as such, please delete this directing credit. See https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/somebody-is-credited-incorrectly-as-director-on-my-series/6818fe1e8c442a5fd1c80f01" once you have explained each deletion via cut-and-pasting the above text, press the "Re-check these updates" button at the bottom of the page. Once the page redraws, the form should all have switched from red to green and you can now press the "Submit these updates" button. You can find information on updating IMDb generally at https://help.imdb.com/contribution and specifically on correcting credits at https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/how-do-i-correct-credits/GB89HGHNUMFYFHEJ Hope this helps.
