Hello! I writing you because I need your help regarding different issues. Please answer each one. I am sure that there are others who will appreciate your answers. Thank you for your time.
First request: Although I add new items on IMDB and the changes appear, my contribution history doesn't show it. Can someone write me the real number of items added by me?
The second request: Please let me understand what items (details and one example, PLEASE) belongs to each category of IMDB badges: Lifetime Total, Lifetime Filmo, Lifetime Plot. The others badges are obvious. I mean, If I add a movie title in another language where this item belong? Or, when I add a Wikipedia link?
The third request: I have a problem with adding movie quotes. I don't understand how to do it. Is there a link with explanations for it?
The forth request: Regarding IMDB Pro: At the end of the year, if someone adds a loooot of items s/he might enter The Top 250 Contributors, place that will help receive a IMDB Pro account for free for 1 year. Right? But what exactly can be done with IMBD Pro? Can be added other kind of items? MY dilemma is about the cases when an actor doesn’t have ONE picture and it seems that only him or his agent can add that picture. But if an actor / actress is dead or s/he doesn’t has an agent? How can I add a picture for those actors that don’t have a picture? Another thing: are there personalities for whom can’t be added more pictures, like Rihanna?
The fifth request: Regarding TV Series: Many of them let the impression that there are continuing airing for years, but that’s not true. i.e. (2000-) Is there a way to change how the appear (2000-2001). Sometimes that’s impossible to know when the last episode aired. Or sometimes the episodes have they’re own title. Can these titles added to IMDB?
The six request: Are there cases when some of the items added aren’t qualified to appear as modified informations on IMDB? The sender has the possibility to find out about this items? The seventh request: I don’t know if there is a Romanian speaker in you stuff, but some English movies were added theirs titles in Romanian ‘ad literam’, I mean that they are translated like any other text, not as a movie title. You know what I mean. Some translated movie titles are translated by adaptation. If I add ‘ad literam’ and the link to the biggest name for movie title in Romania (Cinemagia.ro), the new movie title will be modified / accepted?
PS: I know that was a long ‘letter’, however I hope that somebody with patience will answer me. Keep in mind that my questions and your answers will help others, too.
Thank you and have a nice day, any day!

For TV series that have ended but still don't show an end date - If I use the path you indicated, the item modified would appear in my Contribution History.
Adrian, Champion
No. Items sent to the help desk (such as end years) do not appear in your contribution history. Unfortunately, this is the only way to enter an end year currently.
a separate IMDb Pro account for each actors name - What if the actor is dead? There are thousand actors without a face. I wish all Romanian personalities from IMDB to have pictures ...
OK, but how do I obtain a IMDB account for hundred of people, without being their agent?
This is my final reply on this matter. I consider that is something that must have a solution for all who doesn't have at list a picture; I say it for all nationalities.As an idea, to exist an universal site for all actors, not only the big names who can afford an IMDB account.Somehow that's not fair. I didn't as much: a picture / face for all actors.It is just my idea and maybe others think the same. Thank you for your answers, but I still have questions answered.

Well, also printed publications and social media, as that page says. I believe online news media can also be sufficient.
