Are you ever going to make watching the film or tv show a requirement for writing outlines and summaries?
I contribute to pages quite a lot, and most of the contributions are rewriting plot outlines and deleting nonsense summaries, written by people who have clearly never watched more than a few minutes of whatever they're writing about. Many have clearly been contributed after only watching the trailer

Member's profile mentions abuse
This member's profile mentions abuse. I have no idea who he is, but the profile description mentions things that should not be in a performer's profile. Odd. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11763648/ I spotted it because that member has the same name as me.

Cast listing
I am listing our new film Anthology. Part 1 of 3. Since the listing is titled for "part one", should I only list the cast that appears on screen in part one? Or the entire cast for the full three parts of the Anthology feature? I would think, just the cast for part 1, but not sure. Thanks in advance
