Solved

Title correction rejected

This problem relates to the film at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0150955/ currently listed as A Horse's Tale (1954).

The title of this short as listed in IMDb is grammatically correct. However, when I saw it on television recently, I noticed that the apostrophe was missing from the title, and I took a photo of the title screen:

Notice that it says A Horses Tale with no apostrophe. That's not grammatically correct, but that's what appears on screen. As it turns out, I didn't really need to take that picture, since IMDb already has an image of the title screen, showing the same thing, at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0150955/mediaviewer/rm3586284544/.

I submitted contribution #250118-135837-044000 with the following content:

Title Text Edit

Before
A Horse's Tale (1954)
After
A Horses Tale (1954)
Your Comment
“The on-screen title of this film, as shown at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0150955/mediaviewer/rm3586284544/ , for example, lacks the apostrophe that one would expect to find.”
However, this correction was rejected with the following explanation:

Your contribution has been declined.

The item you have submitted is exactly the same as a submission that you or another user have already entered, which is still pending review by our staff.

That doesn't explain the situation, since the other submission wasn't accepted either.

Could the staff please re-process this contribution to accept this title correction?

Hi @gromit82 -

Thanks for reporting.  The title text has been corrected and the change should be live on the site shortly.

Cheers!
