Hi jabrenner- Thank you for posting the submission reference numbers! The submissions were sent to review, as per #1 and #3, these were re-submitted on your behalf and approved. As per #2 and #4, you will need to provide stronger supporting evidence to verify the changes you are trying to make. You are welcome to re-submit them and our editors will take another look. Cheers!

Hi Maya, Thank you for re-submitting #1 and #3. First of all, you had mentioned earlier errors were reported but these rejections proved otherwise, so they shouldn't have been declined in the first place if taken heed of. As per #2, the birthplace addition directly taken from Birth Registration Index, so this was already a strong evidence. As per #4, this one provided through GOV.UK, a United Kingdom public sector information website, which is as solid as a rock in terms of evidence. Do you have any questions or problems about these? Or are you going to re-submit them too?

@jabrenner- Thank you! However, as mentioned above for #2 and #4, we would like to see additional supporting evidence to help verify the record is for the individual that it is being submitted for (as opposed to someone with a same name).

@Maya - If you look closer, you could see the requested changes easily match with the associated person based on listed birthdates. The changes are not vast differences. On a similar note, I had also added the birthplace of a relative of #2 from the same source and I noticed the same editor accepted it. Why the inconsistency? #4, if you scroll down the page, you can see information such as “Date of birth December 1981” and “Occupation Actor”, which are already strong suggestions that leave little to no doubt if examined carefully. Tried my best here, my goal is to sustain a factual database with these but left undermined. It is at your discretion.

Also you haven't said anything else about the repeated processing errors made by your editors.

@jabrenner- For submission #2, this one has been re-submitted. For #4, we still need more substantial evidence. We must be able to validate the information from verifiable sources, while a birth index is a good source, we need additional supporting sources. As per your last post, given the sheer volume and the nature of the information we list, occasional mistakes are inevitable and, when spotted/reported, they are promptly verified and fixed. If you are consistently observing that corrections/updates are being unreasonably declined, you are welcome to report them to us and our staff can investigate further.

@Maya - I have just re-submitted #4 with an additional evidence collected from a reliable source. If it still gets declined again, I am going to report it here.
