Title to merge

Hi,

I noticed today that this IMDb page (>>> https://m.imdb.com/title/tt3437024 <<<) was a duplication of this IMDb page (>>> https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2364729 <<<).

The page to cancel is only the German title of a French documentary, « La soif du monde », already existing with this information on IMDb. Here are some evidence:

>>> https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/112931-la-soif-du-monde?language=de-DE <<< and >>> https://www.moviepilot.de/movies/die-durstige-welt <<< and >>> https://www.fernsehserien.de/filme/die-durstige-welt <<<

I decided to make a title correction on the « Durstige Welt » page, in order to merge it with the main page « La soif du monde ».

But I was surprised that I did not get a message warning me that there was a title already existing and that both pages/titles will be merged:

<<< https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/241016-133110-796000 <<<

Moreover, some information of the German page regarding the original title, the French title and the original language are wrong and must not be moved to the original page (the original title is « La soif du monde » and the original language is French, as already displayed on the target page).


Page to cancel:

Page to keep:


As a consequence, please:

1- Ensure that this duplicated page (>>> https://m.imdb.com/title/tt3437024 <<<) will be either deleted or either merged to this target page (>>> https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2364729 <<<).

2- Please delete the incorrect information from the duplicated German page before merging it (original title is not « Die durstige Welt », French title is not « Die durstige Welt », original language is not « German » and date of release in France is « 20 March 2012 », which is more accurate than « 2012 »).

3- Please explain to me why, when I tried to merge the 2 titles with my contribution, I did not get a message indicating that the page already exists and both will be merged.

Thanks for your help.

Bedt regards

Hi @mompart -

Titles were merged and German title was left as an alternate title. Your merge did not give you a warning or come through correctly as it was formatted incorrectly as a title text correction.

Cheers!

Hi @Bethanny​,


Thank you.

Just out of curiosity, what should have been the correct format for the title correction?

Hi!

You have to add (Title were it's going too) (Year) in the title correction box.

Cheers!

@Bethanny​ 

Isn’t it what I did?

Can you please check my contribution and tell me what I did wrong?

https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/241016-133110-796000

Otherwise, there were 2 mistakes during the melting.

1- The language of the documentary is French only (not French and German), even in the German version. People do not speak in German in this French documentary. So, German should not be mentioned on IMDb.

Please find evidence here after. Even with the German version, it’s still in French (with subtitles if requested), as you can check:

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/112931-la-soif-du-monde?language=de-DE

2- You also kept the title « Die durstige welt », which is now duplicated in the IMDb title section, as you can see here below.

@mompart​ Hi!

You missed the year, that was all :) I have removed the language german too. If any incorrect data is left on the page due to the merge, please report through our online form.

Cheers!
