The Bureaucracy Strikes Again

Here we go again. I submitted some last names to the characters in the movie, "Tyler Perry's Duplicity" and they were all rejected for the following reason: 

"Your contribution has been declined. We have been unable to verify your contribution." [#260713-174257-865000].

Okay. I give up. Having reviewed over 4300 movies and contributed correct data on numerous films for over 10 years, apparently my credibility is suddenly in question. Never mind that I just watched the movie and clearly saw the last names on the credits and heard them being mentioned during the course of the film. Never mind that "The Movie Database (TMDB)" or a simple Google search using questions like, "What is Fela's last name in Tyler Perry's Duplicity?" is enough to prove the point. None of that matters to IMDb. To paraphrase Mrs. Cleaver in the movie "Airplane!":

"IMDb don't want no help; IMDb don't get no help."

P.S. Fela's last name is Blackburn, by the way and the other correct names I submitted can be verified here:  Tyler Perry's Duplicity (2025) — The Movie Database (TMDB). Not that I needed either Google or TMDB to tell me that.

Hello james_a_burgin

I have reviewed the contribution and we could not verify the corrections, no end credits evidence was provided for us to verify the changes are correct. You can re submit the corrections and provide us with supporting evidence so we can verify. 

You can find help and instructions to add the evidence in our Help Articles.

@Fran​ No. I'm just going to leave things like they are. I provided accurate information and even gave two examples to prove my point. So, I'm done arguing about it.
