I've added over 300 running times to IMDB (for purposes of getting them transferred over here), but never an entire film.

Wow! Top 250 contributor. Impressive. Even in my top adding year, I didn't get that far.

Two years ago it was 31,071 (80th place). Last year it was 14,107 (220th place). This year, I'm dragging.

31k?! Does that include editing as well, for example add or edit a runtime? I can't imagine that's only adding new movies. Still an awful lot though.Simba63 on Mar 7 2018, 03:10:37 PM wrote:Two years ago it was 31,071 (80th place). Last year it was 14,107 (220th place). This year, I'm dragging.

Yes, that includes editing as well. A majority of my contributions are adding the credit rolls to each episode of my favorite shows. However, during that process I often add new people, images, plots, titles, etc.joachimt on Mar 7 2018, 03:25:41 PM wrote:31k?! Does that include editing as well, for example add or edit a runtime?

If you're asking if I'm serious, then yes.

These were already on IMDB so this is somewhat off-topic, but I added 47 (!) Vanderbeek films to ICM last night.

You can add all the evidence of a film's existence in the Miscellaneous Links section, screenings are most important, but entries in other databases and articles work too, the more evidence the better. When I add Japanese films to IMDb I include two database entries on other sites and that's enough evidence. With only one link it gets rejected. Remember to specify next to the URL what it is. Here's a few I found for Life/Expectancy:Gershwin on May 16 2018, 07:34:47 AM wrote:I've started adding LaCinetek directors' lists again, and I stumbled upon a film that is not on IMDb: Life/Expectancy (1999, Shellie Fleming). But worse, I almost can't find anything about the director.
Does somebody know how to add this to IMDb, when there are almost no sources? Help, or even adding it to IMDb, would be much appreciated.
Edit: the same goes for Riyo (1999) by Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster (IMDb director entry)
Thanks!PeacefulAnarchy on May 16 2018, 11:38:49 AM wrote:I'll add Riyo
Done, says it'll be up tomorrow. The film shares a producer with a Weerasethakul film, makes you go "hmmm."
I would be happy to do that. I'm a 2 year top contributor and my screens, upload times, and contribution sites are driven from IMDb Pro which I've found gives me a special edge.

Maxwelldeux and I would like to get a film that I watched for the African challenge added to IMDb so it can get added to ICM as well but the only proof for the film's existence is the listing on YT where you can view it. I've searched for filmographies of both the director and star and all the ones I find seem woefully incomplete including their pages on IMDb.
Here's the film and info I do have:
Anger of a Wonder Girl (2017, Nigeria) Ilochi Olisaemeka
Film stars Regina Daniels who apparently is a 17 year-old screen sensation in Nigeria.
screening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZrP5e23sBU
There is also a sequel: Anger of a Wonder Girl 2 - although really they play like two parts of a whole - similar to the last Harry Potter films. The sequel also has a link on YT.
I realize this is scanty info for adding a film. Any ideas? I'll be away from the internet until next Tuesday so I will not be able to offer a quick response if you have any questions. Thanks!
Gershwin, I have put in a title request change with the documentation you provided. I will let you know if/when the contribution is accepted.Gershwin on Jun 4 2018, 06:13:22 AM wrote:It looks like Amos Vogel entry Make Love, Not War (iCM) has the wrong title on IMDb: according to the Zagreb Film website it's called Ljubite se, ne ratujte, and NOT Volite se a ne ratujte.
I guess the IMDb entry is based upon the Film as a subversive art entry, and was then 'translated back' to the presumed Croatian title.
Any thoughts? What might be a good way to fix this on IMDb?
No problem, it's nice to finally help you out after all you've done for me.Gershwin on Jun 4 2018, 03:23:26 PM wrote:That's great, thanks so much! I hope this will make the film resurface a bit quicker, because searching for the wrong title certainly doesn't help.
