On the Castle episode "Clear & Present Danger," a story editor is being given credit as a writer.  I have submitted the deletion at least 5 times and it still isn't corrected.  Amanda Johns has been a story editor for several other episodes and she is listed under "Other Crew."  For some reason on this episode she is being given credit as a writer.  An editor isn't a writer, are they?  I have already added her under "Other Crew" for this episode, so at this point she has double credit for this episode.  One of my submissions is 150311-144410-765000.

Deletion requests need proof. Instead of resubmitting something you know is being rejected won't help. Can you provide screen captures to help it be verified?

I guess the question is whether or not a story editor is considered a writer.  Is there any scenario when an editor should be considered a writer?

To clarify, it is not a question of whether Amanda Johns should have credit, it is a question of which category the credit appears under.

By the way, I do not "know" that the deletion is being rejected.  For all I know no-one has ever looked at it.  I also have had to submit corrections before multiple times before they were changed.

If would help verify how she was credited which would indicate a department.

Marcia,

An experienced Contributor to the site points out that the guidelines state:

http://www.imdb.com/updates/guide/writers

Staff writers, story editors and story coordinators now belong in the writers section. (For the moment they may be found in the miscellaneous list too; we hope to clean these up in the near future.)
Your contributions may be getting rejected for being contrary to the guidelines.

Thanks to Mayor!
