Update IMDb-info on an iCM-page
I've actually reached a point where finding no-runtime films that can be easily updated has become noticeably more difficult. I'm not finding long chains of updatable TV episodes anymore, and a lot of the films I update are international (usually Indian or Middle-Eastern) and have zero checks.
Working on the 3+ Official list i did notice that Heimat 2 got corrected
But maybe we could kill that double @ ICM ?

Yeah, I asked Marijn right after he fixed the IMDb-link of the right page. But I guess he didn't read it.
Unfortunately the dupefixer doesn't catch this dupe.

Yeah, I think the order of operations on the dupe fixer is:
Does this link go where it's supposed to?
Does this other link go where it's supposed to?
If both yes or both no, then ignore.
If one yes and one no, does link that doesn't go where it's supposed to go to the link of the other?
If yes then dupe, if no ignore.
So it doesn't actually compare the links directly and wouldn't trigger in this case.

Big thanks to "nbatman" for adding about 200 trivial video games to the ICM database all at once. Eyeroll.
Apologies.

It was my understanding that all video games were automatically filtered out, so when I saw things like Portal, Mass Effect, Assassins Creed ect, I figured the "ban" was lifted, so I imported my game ratings from imdb without much thought. If games are going to be allowed, I don't see any good reason to include some but not others based on nothing but their popularity.

They aren't allowed but the parser seems incapable of keeping them out. You saw popular games because those are more likely to be in someone's imported ratings from imdb.
I see, that makes sense. I completely agree that they shouldn't be allowed, so again I really do apologize for adding so many. I will obviously exclude all games from my imports in the future. It was not my intent to create a bunch of extra work for you guys, so if there's any way I can help fix my mistake please let me know. I went through and unchecked every game I had checked.PeacefulAnarchy wrote: ↑December 27th, 2020, 6:09 pm They aren't allowed but the parser seems incapable of keeping them out.

IMDb believes this film is 57 hours long. It actually is 57 MINUTES long. As yet, my correction has not been accepted.

Did you track your contribution to see if it's still pending or if it's been rejected?Ebbywebby wrote: ↑January 14th, 2021, 9:24 pm https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1674154/

They say it's pending, but I've made 1,500+ submissions to IMDb and most of them were accepted within about 10 minutes.

I don't know what exactly triggers manual review, but there are certain things that seem to. Additions seem to go through easier than edits or removals, for example. It's possible the big difference in runtime here triggers a manual review.

Yes. I think the longest I've had to wait for something on Pending is 3-4 days, and it's always something where I've deleted and replaced a credit, or made modifications to something existing. Additions are almost always accepted within 10 minutes for me as well.PeacefulAnarchy wrote: ↑January 14th, 2021, 10:41 pmI don't know what exactly triggers manual review, but there are certain things that seem to.

Right, corrections do take longer than additions. As yet, the length still hasn't been fixed. Maybe the film wouldn't have zero IMDb ratings if people weren't scared off by its extreme length. 

Bleh. Still not accepted, even though the site said they'd process it by January 15th. Meanwhile, I've had 11 runtime submissions accepted in the time since then....Ebbywebby wrote: ↑January 14th, 2021, 9:24 pm https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1674154/

FINALLY accepted. This film has zero ICM checks and zero IMDb ratings, so it was important to get fixed.Ebbywebby wrote: ↑January 17th, 2021, 11:59 pmBleh.

Hrm, I don't know how to tell IMDb this film's primary date should be 1924 rather than 2000. ICM is missing this film's IMDb runtime, but I don't want to hit "the Ebby button" because updating would switch the ICM year to 2000. And I'm sure that would terribly upset "jwerty."

I ran into this issue last month. I think there's a bug, but the imdb staff can fix it if you bring it to their attention: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/con ... 2a90aabbbbEbbywebby wrote: ↑January 23rd, 2021, 9:46 pm https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0015414/
