Year of Birth Correction Declined - Vol 2

Hi, As per the public records, an actress' listed year of birth is off by a year. My correction got declined again. I thought the last one was reported, and I wouldn't encounter the same issue again. #250716-223001-131000

Hello jabrenner According to her Biography and site, the Birth date is correct: http://www.zoewanamaker.com/biography.php Which is why the correction was rejected.

Hi Fran- If that is the case, do you think an information solely on a biographical page should directly supersede the existing public records? Don't you think the records should outweigh any other, potentially incorrect sources? Unless the correction is implemented, you will be continuing to list a factually incorrect information that I thought, goes against your policy.

I can see that Google searches will display the same Date of birth live on the site, we do not see any record of the provided Date of birth. As mentioned in the Guidelines (https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/names-biographical-data/biographical-data-guidelines/GMT9T242VQADZUQM?ref_=helpsrall#birthdeath): **We are looking for links to public records, printed publications, or official documents. If you have further evidence, you can re submit the correction anytime with more evidence.

Hi Fran, First of all, you didn't answer my question above. I didn't say anything about the display of Google. I had already provided the evidence from the public records in my comment in the attached submission, it just shows your reluctancy to move forward with the factual information. I also would like to add them here for everyone to see! The correct year is 1948, not 1949! 1 - https://imgur.com/a/YzP2yVL 2 - https://imgur.com/a/ggoOH0w

Hi Maya, Thank you for your discretion and re-submission. My continued efforts are for this database to list factual information. When submissions get ignored that easily, not to mention declined, I feel offended, like these submissions are a thankless effort. I hope never to encounter this issue again when the submission is very clearly correct in the first place!
