Hi Marhleet. You made a statement only. You made no reference to change, or a solution that in your opinion would be better. So, could you elaborate on what you want to change? Thanks. Cheers
Are all you are saying maybe is you want the credited order reversed? If so. Why?

The writers credits are locked, as always, by the WGAThe writers credits are locked, as always, by the IMDb?
Or do you mean as it shows above,

If you are really talking about the WGA locking them in the incorrect order, then have you contacted the WGA for a correction?

This is missing a polite ask!
Could you please address this reversal of credits and correct it. Thank you.

Jeorj, I know we are free labor. Politeness should be a habit. What me worry? A.E. Newman!

marhleet,
In my opinion, the video link you provided should be enough proof for an IMDb representative to correct the order despite the WGA lock.
As a long-time contributor, in the case of any locked credits including WGA, I've usually filled out a report through the IMDb Contact Us page. At the very least, I've received a response within 24-72 hours, data backlogs notwithstanding.
I hope this helps.

Ha! You pick one of my threads that was seen by an employee quickly. There are others where people questioned why "screenplay" should be changed to "screenplay by". Eventually, an IMDb representative will see this and correct the credits

Hey Jeorj...He already posted it. It is part of the origin of the post up top. It looks the same with a Channel 11 logo in the bottom right corner. Cheers

Not even a simple Thanks?

Gee whiz, Cliff
You did nothing
Michelle left the “by” off both
Where’s the satisfaction ?
15 years contributing and I can see why I never bothered changing from the contributors help section.
This is appalling.
