Hello,
Upon my recent contributions, I noticed two issues I don't understand.
1) I submitted the title Vikings: Valhalla (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11311302/)
Someone added this nonsensical plot:
But it's been declined with the reason given being: "unable to verify".
Unable to verify that Garfield the cat has nothing to do with Vikings???
2) In contribution #191125-155442-864000 I updated some informations. Among them her birth name and birth date. The latter is still pending but the former was declined again with the "unable to verify" reason despite giving a concrete link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_G
Hope you can help me understand how this can happen. It's a bit frustrating to see clealry valid contributions being rejected like that.

Garfield the cat learns the way of the VikingsSo obviously, I asked for its deletion in my contribution #191122-160842-20600
But it's been declined with the reason given being: "unable to verify".

Wikipedia is an un-trusted source according to IMDb.
Please read these guidelines on D.O.B.

We do not remove valid dates of birth/dates of death, so please do not submit deletions.
The place of birth should be in the same form as a location in the locations list, with the city (if applicable) and country, plus whatever other subdivisions are appropriate for the country (i.e., state - examples: Los Angeles, California, USA; London, England, UK, etc.)
The place of birth/death should reflect the political divisions at the time. In cases where divisions or place names have changed over time, it is acceptable to show the current place names within [square brackets].
If the name of the birth place has changed, list the new name as [now ...] i.e. here. If the territory of the birth place has changed, list the name of the current territory as [now in...] i.e. here.
A list of the locations currently being used can be displayed by clicking on the gray list icon (
) next to the place field.
We do not consider Wikipedia (or other collaboratively edited wiki-style sites) to be an acceptable source for birth dates.
However, many Wikipedia articles include online citations and external links which provide supporting evidence of the subject's birth date, and these are often appropriate URLs to include in your submission.
We are looking for links to public records, printed publications, or official documents. We do allow social media links to be an acceptable source for birthdates (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.)
If submitting a date of birth for a minor under 18 years of age, you must include a URL confirming the year of birth.
We will no longer accept DOBs for minors without supporting evidence.
We do hold some BC/BCE birth and death dates, but at the moment it's not possible to add this type of data through our submissions system.
