It's more than a month since the moment when I contributed these:
#190414-202525-173000
#190414-203008-322000
both were approved and went live for weeks.
Now I see them both declined for one and the same reason:
What's "Not specified"???
If I should, moreover wanted to, specify the place in sequence where the words sound, there is NO field for this in the form:
If an editor may not specify any reasons... well maybe it would be honest to accept all the contributions through GS, in the form of posting tickets here?
Or should we play penguins having a perpetual re-check for all our contributions?

This is interesting question, since I personally rarely add (e.g.) English if only a few words are spoken in that language. Where the line is drawn, that would be my question?
I mean if some youth is saying ”s***t” a few times in a Swedish film, does that count?

Eboy, thank you for support and the interest shown on this matter, but please start a new topic on 2nd languages to discuss specifically. I am more troubled with the silent post-factum editions that ruin the previous efforts and enforce me to spend a lot of additional time to control, or just making me understand that the efforts are not desired.
I can hardly imagine a contributor who would not care if the efforts make any sense.

Hi MAthePA -
As Peter mentioned above, if the data in the submission has been approved but is later removed, the submission status will show as "Declined". The reason will display as "unspecified" because the notification is automatic and triggered by the removal of the data.
In most cases, when data has been rejected by an editor there will be a reason displayed on the submission tracking page.

Michelle, thank you for explanation.
It would be really great if the system provided a short description similar to "re-contributed". But for future I'll be happy each time to know that this is the way how such situations are indicated.
After your answer, it seems that another contributor has started a silent war of edits. Could you please explain here the policy of IMDb for such situations, and why I am in fact obliged to prove more than another person who proved nothing?

The other contributor would at least have to write an explanation for deleting the language entry.
But if you still believe the data to be correct it is reasonable to ask why it was removed, and you can post any explanation or evidence you may have.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
If you can provide further information into these silent edits, our editors can review these changes and see if they warrant further investigation.

Joel, thank you for participating.
There is a short summary of 'previous episodes':

both were approved and went live for weeks.
Now I see them both declined for one and the same reason: "Reason: Not specified".
Since the moment of the approval, nothing has changed in the factual data provided as evidence.
Michelle explains that the "Not specified" should be resulted from an automatic removal of the data, because in most cases, when data has been rejected by an editor, there will be a reason displayed on the submission tracking page.
Following her explanation, my contributions was automatically removed after another contributor submitted an opposite; or an editor rejected them much later having no new data for this and providing no reasons.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Joel, how can I "provide the further information into these silent edits" if I am not a staff-member to look deeper into? It's me who is expecting the further information from the staff.
Or if this can not be detailed (though no reasonable grounds for this), or if the staff is not able or allowed to provide, it would be great to know the policy of IMDb for regulating or preventing the problems that may occur when war of edits started.
Or, if it was a mistake or an intention of a staff member, please explain why I am in fact obliged to prove more than another contributor who proved nothing?
What can I do more to help the IMDb staff to help me in this situation, as well as to help others to prevent such situations in future?
Thank you

Hi MAthePA,
I can see that this is linked to the other Get Satisfaction thread - https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/imdb-staff-declined-a-couple-of-my-updates-regarding-russian-ukrainain-mini-series-movies-credits?topic-reply-list[settings][filter_by]=all&topic-reply-list[settings][reply_id]=20087176#reply_20087176
So to confirm were English and Ukrainian spoken during Kanikuly or was it just on screen text? Is that the same with Gámer?

Hi, Will.
Since you keep ignoring the questions of mine in the mentioned thread, and asking me for related additional data but in current thread, I provide here the evidence that English is the second language in Gámer (the two largest segments):
Will, in view of the above: I am glad to answer the related questions in that thread (in spite of the fact that after my submissions were approved it costs me the same time twice to rewatch them again); but in current thread please participate on the more general questions that arise more and more with each 'no answer' from editors.
Thank you

(It's great. They silently agreed that field in the form would be helpful in providing the evidential links )

I had some cases when my submissions declined but actually accepted.
But this post is only for those that are actually declined after been live for weeks.
