Re-correcting credits.

Hello, I was hoping that someone might be able to help me here!

There are some credits for a load of films and TV Series produced by someone with a stage name, however these have all been attributed to the wrong person. These two people just so happen to share the same stage name thus IMDB will not change these incorrect credits despite how many times I submit and explain the situation. I am not in contact with the other party to be able to verify the information, however this is very frustrating when I submit these requests with the promise of a response and find myself getting nothing almost two weeks after this response.

Here are the links to the two people with the same stage name:

Oliver Alexander: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7024332/?ref_=tt_cl_t7

Alex Opes: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9921042/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

Hi, Connor Chadwick. Please share here the reference numbers of the pertinent latest re-submissions, and if you would like, also discuss what is wrong with either of the filmographies you've mentioned. You did submit a set of "name split" corrections, right? That is the best way of going about correcting something like this, rather than deleting credits from either of the filmographies.

Hi!

The reference numbers for my latest submissions were: 

#180702-192114-373000
#180702-145451-588000
#180702-145436-129000
#180702-145417-349000
#180702-145402-086000

Just a selection above.

The problem is, it's all been mixed together, it's not just one role. All of the acting credits have been mixed up. So it only works that I do it individually. I did try the name split and then it moved some of the other person's credits that actually do belong to him. It's all getting so annoying.

Both IMDB pages have now become a mix-up of each other, I've now got IMDB credits for Oliver Alexander on Alex Opes' IMDB page and none of my submissions will be accepted.

Hi Connor -

You mentioned that the Acting credits are the problem, can you confirm which exact Actor Credits listed on the page for "Oliver Alexander (IV)" belong to "Alex Opes"?

These are the list of credits pertaining to each person.

I should also add, this list doesn't just apply to acting credits, but also to all credits mentioning the name. So any Oliver Alexander (IV) mention in an Alex Opes credits list should be Alex Opes. 

Thank you!

Hi Connor,

I can see that a name split is pending on that name const now. Please wait for any credits to be moved and get back in contact if any data is still incorrectly associated to each name.

Regards,
Will
