I have discovered a few errors on some films that have "complete" credits and am having a hard time getting corrections made through the normal IMDb update process
1) Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096928/)
The cast credits are inaccurate because The Three Most Important People In The World (Martha Davis, Fee Waybill, & Clarence Clemons) are all listed as uncredited, when they have always been credited. I've seen this film dozens of times since it came out, and they were always credited
They need to be listed as credited with Martha Davis given credits order #47, Fee Waybill #48, & Clarence Clemons #49
2) Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101452/)
There is an incorrect cast credit listed for "Primus - Themselves" (credits order #40) followed by correct credits for the individual members of Primus.
This is how the credits appear onscreen:
It is my understanding of the IMDb Group Policy that in this case, there should be no credit for the band Primus as an actor. The film credited the individual members of the band collectively acting as Primus. Primus is listed in the "character" side of the credits and the members of Primus are listed on the "actor" side of the credits.
Thus, for Primus to have an acting credit, there would need to be the word "Themselves" on the left (character) side of the credits, while the word "Primus" would need to be on the right (actor) side of the credits.
Per my understanding, the credit "Primus - Themselves" needs to be deleted.
3) Avatar (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499549/)
There are multiple slightly incorrect credits revolving around a Visual Effects crew member named Michael Fink, who is part of the VFX firm Prime Focus
This person was only credited once onscreen, but there are actually 2 credits listed on IMDb, and both are incorrect
Please assist in getting these changes made. Thank you.

This person was only credited once onscreen, but there are actually 2 credits listed on IMDb, and both are incorrect
- In the "Visual Effects by" section, there is a credit that reads "Michael L. Fink ... senior visual effects supervisor: Prime Focus VFX." To match the onscreen credit, this needs to be changed to "Michael L. Fink ... senior executive: Prime Focus (as Michael Fink)"
- In the "Other Crew" section, there is a credit that reads "Michael Fink ... senior executive: Prime Focus." This credit needs to be completely deleted because A) it is in the wrong section, and B) it is actually crediting the wrong "Michael Fink." It is crediting Michael Fink (I) (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2095769/) who was a director/producer in the 1970's and has nothing to do with Prime Focus. Michael L. Fink (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0277842/) is the one who already has multiple existing Visual Effects crew credits linked to Prime Focus. This credit should be deleted because making the first change to the existing Michael L. Fink credit will make all the necessary corrections to match the single onscreen credit.
Please assist in getting these changes made. Thank you.

I am unable to add "uncredited" cast to the film A Mighty Wind (2003)
I am getting a message that the cast credits are locked, but for the first time I've personally encountered, I cannot even add "uncredited" cast.
I am trying to add 2 uncredited on-screen cast credits for crew members from the film who appeared on-screen. Director Christopher Guest specifically points them out in his director commentary for the film:
1) C.J. Vanston appears as "Roadie on Cell Phone"
2) Sunday Stevens appears as "Stage Manager"
