Data submission receipts are less useful now
About two to three months ago, the e-mailed receipts for data submissions were reformatted, in a way that makes them harder to follow. While the data in the receipt used to be listed in a logical order, now it's listed in a random order. For example, here is the data from a submission I made a litt

One TV series two times at IMDb
For whatever reason, the Italian series "Piedone - Uno sbirro a Napoli" appears twice on IMDb.

TV show Repair Shop Australia IMDb page links to wrong show data
When I searched for the TV show, Repair Shop Australia, IMDb does display the page for that show but all the info on the page is incorrect. The TV show title on the page is correct but the details, including the poster, are for a show called The Watchlist with Jason Dundas. Can this be fixed?
