You're aware it's Christmas, no?  I am not sure there's going to be much action here tonight.  It can be slow on major holidays.

In the mean time, you might want to add evidence, if you didn't include links in your submission, to help them verify.  That's usually the reason for rejections if they have nothing to go by to verify data submitted.

Good luck!

Hey bluesman...ya I know but I asked this question 2 days ago.  No big deal I realize it's xmas.  Anyways whenever you or someone else gets around to replying it's all good.  Anyways I know the whole verify, screenshots, etc etc.  Anyways I have over 40 credits on the same show and have never had to supply any form of proof.  This has only been happening in the last couple of months now with my last 2 credits on the show.  Very frustrating.  Thank you and merry christmas!

I don't see that post.  But, if you've asked, there'd be no need to repeat it.  Major holidays tend to extend backlogs a bit (or a lot, sometimes).

...whenever you or someone else gets around to replying...
Only staff can see into submission numbers to check on status.  They tend to be here a bit less on weekends and holidays (they're most active Mon-Fri, 8-5, US Pacific time).  You might not get much response until after the weekend.

Anyways I have over 40 credits on the same show and have never had to
supply any form of proof.  This has only been happening in the last
couple of months now with my last 2 credits on the show
It doesn't matter.  One submission has little to nothing to do with any other.  Rarely are they equal.  You could have it go through with little or no problem 10,000 times and still have it need verifying evidence the 10,001st.

While it might be new or frustrating for you...it's what we have all had to deal with at some point, for varying reasons.

Mentioning it each time you post won't affect the submission or its need for verification, if that's what the page editor has decided it needs.

But, I suppose this hasn't helped much...I just didn't want you to think you need to keep bumping all weekend, if there's no one necessarily seeing the posts in the first place!

You're very welcome and Merry Christmas to you too!  Hope it all gets pushed on through soon!

Hey Jason,

The problem here may be someone submitting evidence that some of your submissions are not completely accurate. IMDb takes very seriously the onscreen credits. Credited (or uncredited) status is not a joke. For example, IMDb currently lists you (and a bunch more stunt department personnel) without the (uncredited) attribute when there are only three credited stunt dept folk for the season two, episode one of Arrow, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2702698/combined#stunts.


Stunt Coordinator ... JJ Makaro
Fight Coordinator ... James Bamford
On-Set Stunt Coordinator ... Jon Kralt

The same situation exists on episode two of the same season. If some contributor has offered this info up to IMDb, or if IMDb's editors have themselves stumbled onto the fact that US primetime TV seldom bestows credits beyond heads of department, they might just want proof especially if these credits weren't submitted with the (uncredited) attribute.

Protestations that everyone else is doing it may make you feel better, but they'll fall on deaf ears at IMDb. When those actions are highlighted they'll likely receive the same treatment.

Hey Mayor I know what you mean, I've previously enquired about those many credits. I'm not sure if it was an algorithm that went wrong or someone else dropped the ball on that.  Anyways I hit a roadblock at every turn when I try and get some answers from staff.  Thanks for your help anyways, cheers.

Hi Jason -

The "Arrow" episode credit you submitted for "Sins of the Father" has now been added to your filmography, see here.  Cheers!
