I have created and added episodes for a funny online show i watch. Many episodes have been add ed so far but lately some thing has happened. The episodes that has been added to the list as of late does not display any further information but also the episodes after that have been flat out declined for no reason. I would like to know what is going on here?

Hi Jonathan -

In order for our staff to take a look, can you post the most recent new episode title submission reference numbers here?

Hi Jonathan -

Thanks for posting the additional submission details.

Concerning the new episode title submissions, our records show that the many of the new episode titles you submitted for "The Drunken Peasants" were declined due to there not being enough information provided within the new title submission to verify the eligibility of the episodes to be included in the database at this time.

You will need to re-submit these new titles with additional online evidence to help verify that the episode titles meet our eligibility criteria.  For more details see here.

Regarding the updates you recently submitted for the episode "Stupid Anti-Vaxxers - Eric Hovid on How Atheism Causes Suicide - Stupid Ads", these updates are still processing.  For updates and details on our current processing status (i.e. backlogs/delays), please see here.

Mr. Wiking:

In Michelle's reply above, I noticed that one of the links apparently did not work.  Here is the corrected link to a page that explains some criteria for title submission:

http://www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?titletopfaq

On that page, see in particular the sections titled:
"What kind of verification do you need?"   and
"What does 'online evidence' mean? ..."   etc.

That page does not discuss every possible situation, but
at least it gives you some starting guidelines on how to proceed.

(Disclaimer:  I'm not affiliated with IMDb.  I just
jumped in here to give you that corrected link.)

Have you allowed enough time for the credits to be processed?

When a new Title (including a new Episode) is submitted, all the data is held aside until the Title itself is approved. At that time the credits (and other subsidiary data) is released and it is added at the end of the various queues. So there can be a delay of up to a week before the cast and crew appear (assuming they accepted).
