Valid Submissions Declined Once Again

Hi, These valid corrections declined without being checked not even once, one of the attached links for a screenshot didn't even get a viewing, so your so-called editors dismissed it immediately on a whim. Normally I wouldn't even bother to call out considering my previous post wasn't solved, but this time is really different. Now, if you too take side with them despite the obvious processing errors, I am done being a sporadic contributor of this type of data for an indefinite period as I have no intention of wasting my time any longer. 1 - #250324-201621-708000 2 - #250324-184350-745000 3 - #250324-184801-232000 Do your (some) editors really try to encourage contributors to give up submitting useful stuff here or something?

Hi jabrenner- Thank you for posting the submissions! Further taking a look, these were rejected as we could not verify the information with the supporting evidence provided. You are welcome to re-submit them with substantial evidence. Cheers!

Hi Maya - Now seriously asking, what more do you need to verify? I am baffled. You must be not checking properly because these were from the public records and they work for other people most of the time.

@jabrenner- As mentioned, the articles and other links that were provided are not substantial evidence on their own to make the changes on those name pages.

But they were taken from the public records and other links were only added to support the changes even more, you are checking them subjectively. The guideline states, “We are looking for links to public records, printed publications, or official documents.” You are acting against the guideline by ignoring the evidence. For example, a link to birth index clearly matches with the person. What is more substantial than this? I am looking forward to being enlightened.

@jabrenner- These submissions were sent to re-review and they were submitted on your behalf. I can see that they have now been approved and the changes will be live shortly.

Hi Maya - This is such a terrific news and sounds promising for the sake of IMDb. I was this close to quitting to submit factual data any longer because of these random rejections, not to mention your unwillingness to help at first! Could you please tell me if these errors reported? I need to “verify” something. I need consistency among the editors, I have a great admiration for those who review the links.
