To come back at your 2nd point, I did reject it for a couple of reasons. You didn't specify what L'ile you were referring to? I assumed you were talking about the one from 2006 https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/L'%C3%8Ele_(film,_2006), which did air in the Venice festival. On top of that, we can not accept a series if there is no streaming service or network it premieres on and I seem to be unable to find one + the french wikipedia as u said wrote it as a tv movie. Are you definitely sure it is a series?
If you are sure, you are welcome to apply it again with more detailed info.

But I gave you IMDB ID for the series! How did you confused with that movie? I cannot find information too, but it's definitely a series and I gave you already French, German and US Wikipedia link that prove my point, besides IMDB! I told you also that I acquired those 3 episodes by myself, recently. Do you need MediaInfo information too or something else? As for the "telefilm", many times there are distributed mini series as video movies with less duration. Because of that, IMDB and every web dabatase years ago, had "It", "The Langoliers", "The Tommyknockers", "Storm Of The Century", "Salem's Lot" of Stephen King as "TV movies", and I started (on IMDB only...) to correcting them as TV mini series, with number of episodes, duration and so on. Only the new ones like "Rose Red" or "The Shining" was already writen as "TV mini series" with an episode list. The same in tv.com as I remember. There were not many databases back then, only Wikipedia that had them right, explaining further that those mini series distributed later (maybe in some countries) as video movies or TV movies, with less duration (I think "telecine" is proper term for such cases). Same happened on "Jack The Ripper" ('88) and other similar cases.

Besides that, there are productions as feature films that later become as proper "TV mini series" distributed in some network services, there are "Video Series" distributed straight to video (plenty of documentaries, for example, but fictional too!)... I also think there are video movies that distributed as "TV mini series", too! Do you support all those and if not, why? It's just the distributor that changes from a network/streaming one to a straight-to-video production! The time that videocassette recorder introduced us as a new medium, new types of productions discovered and new ways to distribute video material, obviously, as streaming services do today. You should consider to support such productions because sometimes they are distributed in network services too as TV mini series, but they are not. There are/where plenty of production and distribution companies on that medium, too. Today is "straight-to-DVD" of course and not VHS! I'm not talking about video movies. Only video series.

Currently our system does not support straight-to-DVD series as of yet, therefore it would not be able to add them. You are happy to apply it as series once again if you could find the broadcasting channel, however IMDB I do not consider very reliable for series as some series like you said are classed there as tv movies, while they most definitely are series.

However I or any staffmember can not grant you an approval of your request if you do not know the broadcasting channel. Nor would I like you to note that any other staffmember does have more edits to do and can't take all his/her time to figure out all information.

But please, open a new thread if you want to debate this matter. This thread is solely for edit requests.

I continue this conversation here. I'm sorry about any inconvenience.

Would you please remove the following three episodes from NOVA season 44:

44x97 Secrets of the Shining Knights

44x98 Spirit of St Louis

44x99 Death Dive to Saturn

All three were announced in a press release last December but are no longer listed on the upcoming schedule which is now listing through May 31, well after the originally announced dates. None of the episodes has much detail so they will be trivial to re-add if they get re-added to the schedule this year.

I'm curious, is there a reason why Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome is added the way it is, as a single movie? I remember watching it on YouTube (Machinima) as a 10-part mini-series, way before it was released as a whole movie.

@SilverSurfer The same goes for your questions. If you have anything more complicated than a simple edit request, please open a separate thread in the Data forums. In here, only a small amount of people will ever see your discussion.

As far as I know it was a pilot that never made it to series.

True, but it was premiered first as mini-series, not as a single episode.
