I have tried to edit my Biography to update it and make it more relevant but I can't seem to get it changed. The latest time I tried to update my biography was 22 October 2016 and I am well past the processing period. Here is the link I am trying to have updated:

Any ideas what I need to do to get it processed?

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for letting me know. It looks as if your mini-bio was rejected as it breaches our policies regarding the shortening of the information included in the mini-bio when submitting the correction. I've taken another look and in this case your submission looks valid so I've resubmitted it on your behalf.

Thanks Will. I see its been uploaded. Are you able to tell me how it breaches your policy so I can avoid future mistakes?
Also I have now noticed there is an error with the last line (unsure how I missed it) Any chance you can update it for me? 

Currently it reads: 
Aaron Falvey was born in Blenheim, New Zealand in 1979. He has been passionate about film making since the age of 9 when his friends parents bought a handy-cam. They started to spend their weekends making short home movies and since then it has inspired Aaron to become a film director. Aaron has been involved in numerous film productions as either a Director or Producer. Aaron's most recent films are Ascendance(2017) , The Flame (2015) , Alone (2014) and Outer Darkness (2014) . Although Aaron primarily directs films, he is also a very producer.

That last line should read: Although Aaron primarily directs films, he is also a very competent producer.

Thanks in advance.

Aaron

Thanks Aaron I've amended the sentence. Please see https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/guide/bio_all_guides#bio

  • It is our policy not to remove biographies in their entirety, unless we receive an updated or amended version of a similar length
  • Replacing a biography that contains a good deal of background information with one containing almost no bio information (i.e. only includes their credits) will be considered the same as attempting to delete a biography
