In a previous thread (https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/keyword-william-shakespeare-added-in-the-past-month), I pointed out that recently, the keyword william-shakespeare was added to a title in the database. Because standalone names shouldn't be a keyword (see the guide: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/keywords/GXQ22G5Y72TH8MJ5?ref_=helpms_helpart_inli...#), staffer Jaime removed the keyword from said title and took "appropriate action."
This hasn't really helped, because currently, there are two titles with the wrong keyword william-shakespeare: https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?keywords=william-shakespeare.
Can a staffer delete these keywords, can a block be created for this keyword and can the person(s) who added this be contacted to point out the keywords guide please?

But, as you probably also know, the keyword william-shakespeare was at one point in the recent pasts not attached to any title. After that, it did get attached to a title. I pointed this out and Jaime said they'd taken action to ensure this wouldn't happen again (https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/keyword-william-shakespeare-added-in-the-past-month). But, unfortunately, it did. That's why I created this thread, so that IMDb can contact the contributors that added this wrong keyword and create a block for this keyword (and ideally, all keywords listed in my original thread with dozens of standalone names).
I really appreciate your passion for the keywords section of IMDb, but to me it seems that IMDb needs to become better at this section. And until they are, I'm afraid quite a bit of your work might be in vain. I think you (and me, and lots of other contributors) can be of much more use to the database if we point out errors every now and again, asking for yellow warnings and/or blocks where needed and ask IMDb to contact well-meaning, but confused contributors. I think that way, we can build a better database, with a better keyword section.
(I don't know about you, but when I look at my submissions, most of them deal with either correcting or deleting stuff, instead of actually adding information.)

I have been a contributor since the early days of IMDb, and so many keyword agreements and differentiations and decisions and preferences seem to have disappeared. Ii's a challenge, especially since many old battles have to be unnecessarily fought again.

Abandon (2002)
There is literally one 3 second scene in the entire film where Katie Holmes' character is tossing about in bed and her (white) panties are visible.
(The movie sucks too.)
