Hello,

These 2 links are the same people. That is me. I made a small change to request that the credit of Assistant Director of "Change" be credited on my IMDb account. Are the pages just in transition and that's why I am unable to see my acting credits? Can you please merge these two?

Hi Elizabeth -

If both the pages you referenced belong to you, you will need to submit a name/page merge request through our online Update system.

To submit the correction and combine your two filmographies, you need to use the 'Name Correction' option to correct the name, you need to go to the page under Elizabeth Colunga (II), click on the Update/Edit Info button at the bottom of the page, select the 'Name Correction' option and change the name to Elizabeth Colunga (I). This will result in a merge of the two names.

Thank you! When I get to that point, I type in Elizabeth Colunga (I), it gives me a warning with the following:

This correction has warnings, you must acknowledge each one before this correction will be accepted.
• We have these people with similar names :-
Colunga, Elizabeth (Actor, A Tale of Delight (2012))

When I click the name that needs changing to, which is "Colunga, Elizabeth (Actor, A Tale of Delight (2012))", I am given the following error:

Name Correction

Colunga, Elizabeth
update existing credits with 'as' attribute
Please explain why this name needs to be corrected in the form below.
Merge two listings into one. Both Elizabeth Colunga (I) and Elizabeth Colunga (II) are the same person.
Explanation: (required)
This correction has been rejected. You need to correct this correction before it will be accepted.
•This correction has no effect.
The corrected name is identical to the original name and has been rejected as a result.

This correction also has warnings,you must acknowledge each one before this correction will be accepted.
•The corrected name already exists as a separate entry.
This will have the effect of merging the two listings into one. Please make sure this is intended and, if not, use roman numerals to distinguish the corrected name from any other listings. Also, be aware that credits may disappear for a day or two during the merge process.
Warning understood, go ahead anyway.

**I'm continuing to get the same error message. Any advice? Thank you!

It looks to me like a name/page merge is currently already processing for that page, this is why you are seeing the error and are unable to continue submitting the update.

Please wait a few days (3-5) and then check your page again, if my guess is right, you will then only have one page listed on the site with all your credits. However, if you are still seeing two separate pages at that point, please let us know and we will investigate further.

Yes. And, it might come up in stages. So, you might see some confusing things in the process...but wait it out.

Copy and paste it in here and staff can check on its progress.

You need to get the reference number from there (it is in the first main column and comprises three sets of 6 numbers) and paste it in here, no one else can follow that link to get your specific update information

No problem, hopefully staff will see this and check on it. However, it is likely just a matter of waiting for it to be accepted and then all the relevant pages to be rebuilt. Patience is not just a virtue when submitting data, it is obligatory. ;)

Can a 'name page merge' be requested by anyone with an IMDB account, or is special access required -- i.e.: a 'Pro' account or being a name-page owner?

Example: current Progressive ('A Capella') commercials feature the actress/singer 'Gabi Hankins'.:

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3225629/

Gabi also does voice-over work as 'Gabriella Milo':

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9465220/

This is not exactly a secret; her 'Gabriella Milo' website references 'Gabi Hankins' -- tho', apparently, preferring the former -- and some other acting sites link both names in their credits.:

Previously, I've offered only a handful of relatively minor IMDB edits. Can I request this merge, or...?
