I submitted actual call sheets from the shows I worked on which proved I worked on the episode anyone know why my credit shows up as "uncredited"?  One of the shows I've done over 15 episodes and none have "uncredited" by them, why would these new credits be different?
Thank you.

J: A call sheet is proof that you worked on the episode, but it doesn't necessarily indicate anything about whether you were credited on it or not. The best proof that you were credited on the episode would be a screen capture or clip showing that your name appeared on screen in the credits of the episode.

If the episode has not aired yet, but you were credited on screen in all the other episodes that you worked on in the same series, you can try to submit a deletion of the (uncredited) attribute, with an explanation such as "I have worked on other episodes of this same series, and on all of the those  which have aired yet, my name appeared in the on-screen credits. Consequently, I expect that I will be credited on this episode as well when it airs." But there's no guarantee that the IMDb staff will accept that.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

Hey gromit thanks for your help.  One more question for you...so the show is "Arrow".  I've worked on a ton of episodes...all credited and added months before the episode aired.  Friends who I worked with on the same day all had their credits added no problem but mine not so much.  This seems to be a problem lately.  Has IMdb changed their submission process in the past month or something?  Thanks again

J: There haven't been any policy changes that I know of about whether to accept a credit as being credited as opposed to uncredited. Maybe an IMDb staffer will be willing to comment here about what the problem may have been with your work being listed as uncredited.

I recommend posting here the submission reference number (the 18-digit number that looks something like 150123-123456-789000) from the most recent time you submitted a credit and it got listed on IMDb as uncredited even though you hadn't submitted it that way. This way the staff can look it up.

Ya I get what your saying gromit, I appreciate the feedback and answers.  I haven't been able to get a clear answer from IMdb staff on why lately it's been quite difficult to add my credits.  I've been using this service for well over 4 years and never had this problem.  Anyways hopefully a staff member will comment.  Thanks again for your help.

Hi J Bell - 

The information gromit82 provided is accurate, while Call Sheets verify that you worked on the titles, they do not verify that you were/will be credited on a title.  If the title is released, the best evidence is to provide a screen grab of your on-screen credit.  If the title is not yet released, you can submit the credit correction once (to remove the uncredited attribute), however, if the update isn't accepted, you will then need to wait until the title is released and the credit can be verified on-screen.
