I've attempted to submit a trivia addition to "Leave it to Beaver" (the TV show), but it keeps getting declined. It says that it doesn't meet contribution guidelines and to check submission guidelines. Okay, I've done that! There is nothing in the guidelines that applies to my submission...at least not that I'm seeing. Here's my submission in its entirety:
"Although the Cleavers lived in two houses during the series, we learn from [link=tt0816838] that there was actually an earlier, third house. Beaver tells Wally, "Well, you remember at the other house, when I had the measles..."
I'm submitting this on the show's main page, where it belongs, as this is a trivia fact that applies to the entire series, not just the specific episode.
What's wrong with it?!

Is the proposed trivia item inaccurate?
I never watched this show -
is a proposed trivia item inaccurate a reason for this trivia item is being declined ?
.
Yes, the episode I linked to is the one in which the conversation takes place. We don't know when they moved into the second house--which was the FIRST house actually in the series. They were already in it when the series begins.
The proposed trivia is DEFINITELY accurate: I typed it verbatim while watching the episode it's in, which I linked to.
WE can look at this later for New trivia
Leave It to Beaver (1957–1963)

The address of the first house the Cleavers owned in Mayfield
was 485 Mapleton Drive,
a reference to first season network CBS's then New York headquarters
at 485 Madison Avenue.
The address of their second home was 211 Pine Street
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050032/trivia?item=tr0725412
In the series "The New Leave it to Beaver",
a cancelled check prop shows Wallys address in "Mayfield OH".
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050032/trivia?item=tr4041701
There are two indications that the Cleavers lived in Wisconsin.
In one scene, Wally mentions the high school band
is going to Madison to play for the governor.
In another episode, the Cleavers are going to a pro football game
and repeatedly refer to the Packers
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050032/trivia?item=tr1735493
The name of the state Mayfield was in was never mentioned,
although it was said to be somewhere in the Midwest.
But in one episode, the Beaver wanted to earn money with a paper route,
to join-in with a friend to buy a surf board.
That would suggest Mayfield is near the ocean.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050032/trivia?item=tr0720834
It was once stated that the Cleavers lived 30 miles from the coast.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050032/trivia?item=tr2119959
Ward made at least four references to having attended high school in Shaker Heights,
a town located between Mayfield and Cleveland,
rendering yet another suggestion that Mayfield was most likely in Ohio.

When filming was shifted to Universal's backlot
(then known as Universal International)
a new house was built.
This house remained as a standing set
and was later used for many other television programs and motion pictures.
It is a popular attraction on Universal's Tour.
More than forty years after the show ended,
the still standing set is known as "The Cleaver House."
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050032/trivia?item=tr0723363
The house on Universal's backlot
that was used for the exterior shots of the Cleavers' second home
(in Season 3, after the move to ABC)
was later used for the exterior shots of Marcus Welby's house. in Marcus Welby, M.D. (1969).

Thanks again for fixing this. I'm wondering, though, why my contribution history hasn't been updated. Once before there was a similar issue, and after IMDb submitted it for me, the item in my contribution history was updated to reflect "Submitted by IMDb on your behalf."
Yoo-hoo...anyone?
This topic is now labelled as "solved", so it is very unlikely that a IMDb staff will visit it again.
And I am not sure whether other contributors are in a position to help you.

I'll get rid of the ellipsis and see if that helps.
