I've had another occurrence of this. The gangmembers' names are all anglicised in various ways for the subtitles. Dandi becomes Dandy. The first part of my explanation was "Dandy is the English name for one of the main criminals." The review doesn't now work. It still describes the same plot element (although even for that I'd rather use the anglicised name since that reflects my viewing experience), but the image that I was playing on (a Regency fop whoremongering) has been lost.
I've had a typo in a review approximately once. You can trust me to be submitting spellings intentionally. Benj, please can this review be changed back to my original form? I'd really rather not use up another quota slot on it. Thanks.
And another reason for not wanting to resubmit it is that the MERPs have more than a few times rejected already-approved reviews that have been resubmitted with only minor changes to spelling &c.
Is this ever going to get corrected, Benj?
I've just noticed that two of the other three reviews for the film have a correct anglicised name, so it's even more annoying now.

What a helpful comment.
I've only had to ask again and again because this MERP error has still not been fixed. It's understandable that the MERPs make mistakes (although not really this one), but such mistakes should be amended, not just left for ever. It would only take Benj a few seconds, which is nothing in comparison to all the time he has spent excluding genuine films lately. |

| YOU can change it whenever you want. But you won't. |

(1) Why should I have to waste a quota slot changing it back to the correct form that I submitted it in in the first place?
(2) More importantly, I have often made a minor change (that couldn't possibly affect the validity), only for the MERP to reject the review. I don't want to risk losing this one: it was hard enough getting one review through for this film.
This is a reasonable request filed away in a clearly titled thread that is now in the correct section: it is not being forced on anyone and no one should feel the need to object to its presence. |

YOU should change it because it bothers YOU, as it doesn't seem to bother anyone else.
What is mildly amusing, however, is that you've made it such a big deal that you are now a prisoner of your own stubbornness. It is quite apparent that all you want to accomplish is the goal of making benj change the review instead of changing it yourself, like everyone else does (I changed my "Barbarella" review last week and it got reapproved within a day).
But you are not winning that battle. Indeed, you have lost, as we approach the review's anniversary.
And now that you've brought constant attention to the matter, you cannot change it yourself, because that would mean giving in and acknowledging that the rules apply to you just as well. What is worse, however (for you) is that you also cannot change it for fear that the MERPs will forever reject it out of sheer spite for your inapt insistence on making this review an issue. Maybe they will re-approve it instantly; maybe they won't. But you will never find out, because you are frozen by that fear, while the review, and this thread, stand as self-made monuments to your failure.
Godspeed little Dandy.  |

| I submitted this with an ellipsis (...) at the end, but it has for some reason been changed to a question mark, which makes no sense. Please can it be changed back to the correct version as soon as possible? Thanks. |

| I submitted the fifth one here with U.S.A. but the MERP for some reason changed it to USA. Benj, please will you change it back? |
