only fixing self-credits so should not have been rejected with "unable to verify". Unable to verify is completely non-nonsensical since all the reviewer had to do was read the imdb guide and the title. Very confusing.

This is what I was talking about, Mike.
This constant re-reviewing due to rejections that should never happen.
I'll stick to my photo uploads. I may get a 1 in 50 rejection on uploads.
But removals I wont touch with a ten foot pole. Rejection rate is over 50%.
Sigh!

Fortunately my reject rate on trivia and goof items is pretty low. I'd guess maybe less than 10%. I don't do a lot of photos but many rejects are unexplainable or nonsensical. I try to do titles that have no images, but I really spend my time correcting tags especially trying to id actors that aren't tagged. It takes work. I wish that an image on a particular tv episode would limit the actors to select from to those actors in the episode. It would make it so much easier.

Ed's right. This, Will's reply, is just another example of saying we'll look at this so it doesn't happen again knowing full well that it will. Based on the dates of your post and the contributions, it's obvious these were rejected by IMDB's automated system, but make no mistake, people reject stuff like this all the time. It guarantees job security because it will require another contribution to resolve. The answer is to keep an accuracy rating on reviewers to force them to do the job.
I know how the IMDB system works as my ex is one of them. The fact is they don't care if the data is accurate or not, only that there will be a continuous flow of contributions. Anyone who has contributed for a long time will see that. New items are very easy to get accepted, but changing anything, much less removing, is near impossible because the message to reviewers is the higher the numbers the better.
When I find a more appropriate message I'll give you insight to the system. It will blow your mind.
