My name is listed in the cast section of the show. I added the credits myself in my profile but I want it to be professional not self submitted. I cant find this info anywhere.

Susan: What is your IMDb page and what credits are involved?
gromit82, Champion
Susan: There are 79 episodes of "Wicked Attraction" listed in the database (see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1275472/episodes), so the episodes of the show that you worked on are likely listed already.
The first credit you submit to IMDb for a regular cast listing must be one where your name appeared in the on-screen credits. Once you have gotten one credited entry listed, you can then submit your uncredited work to the database too.
Therefore, find one episode where you were listed in the on-screen credits. Go to the page for that episode and click "Edit page".
On the next screen, on the Cast line, select "Add 1 credit". Scroll down and click "Continue".
On the next screen, enter your name in the Name box as Reilly, Susan E. Make sure to select the "actress" button below your name.
In the Character box, enter your character name. I assume you appeared on this show playing a role rather than being yourself. However, if you were appearing as yourself, you should make sure to have the role name begin with "Herself - ..." It makes a big difference for the "Wicked Attraction" series, which does have both people appearing as themselves and people in acting roles. Someone playing the role of Detective would list her character as Detective, while a real-life detective appearing as herself would list her character as Herself - Detective.
In most cases, the Attribute box should be left blank. The most common situations in which one would fill it in would be if a person was credited on the title by a name or version of their name that differs from the name under which they are listed on IMDb -- for example, (as Sue Reilly) -- or if a person was playing a voice-only role, for which they would use the attribute (voice).
You can leave the Order box blank, unless you know the numerical order in which your name appeared in the episode credits, in which case you should enter the appropriate number.
Click "Check these updates".
On the next screen, you will get a warning that says, "'Reilly, Susan E.' does not have any existing credits in this section. Are you sure this is the right person?" followed by a list of names. Select the option near the end of the list that says, "This is the first credit in this section for 'Reilly, Susan E.'." Click "Re-check these updates".
On the next screen, your data should appear with a green background, and you should be able to click "Submit these updates".
Good luck!

Thank you so much! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you help.
One more question I hope you can help me with. I did as you said and it worked. If you click on the wicked attraction episodes I am there but it isn't "professionally" listed on my profile. Any ideas?

Once you submit an Update request, it go into a queue to be checked by a Data Manager. Only after the items are approved by the Data Manager will they appear on the Name page. The Data Manager may not approve them, in which case they will not show up. This process normally takes from 1-7 days.
The text at the top of the submission is misleading. Although it says something like 3 cast credits added, it needs to be read as 3 cast credits submitted to be added.

Well my credits have not been added to my name page...I don't know why. You can see my name as part of the cast. Any ideas?

Susan: I assume you mean that you could not find the receipt with the reference number. If you could, I'm sure you would have posted it.
However, please tell me how your credit appeared or will appear on the two "Wicked Attraction" episodes and the forthcoming film Shifting Grounds: "Susan Reilly" or "Susan E. Reilly"?
I understand what credits need to be moved to where, but I'm not going to post the instructions until you specifically confirm the form of name under which your name appeared on the two "Wicked Attraction" episodes. And if you don't know how your credit will appear on Shifting Grounds, at least please say how you are requesting it to appear -- as Susan Reilly or Susan E. Reilly.

Please use the following for adding information: Susan E. Reilly.
Hello,
The name I want to use is: Susan E. Reilly for everything
Please let me know if you need anything else.

Nobody,
Out of context, that sounds right. In context, the sentence is confusing and that part looks copied/pasted...from what, no one knows.
If gromit wants confirmation (which is what I'd have asked for) then gromit has the right to ask and not waste time doing something wrong only to have to do it again.
Also, she's said once (by submitting it this way) as "Susan Reilly" and once (what you've copied/pasted) as "Susan E. Reilly." I'd say getting a tie-breaker statement would be appropriate.
Your continually following good comments with this trolling ridiculousness is completely inappropriate. Please stop. If someone is trying to help, you chiming in with idiotic comments like that just gets in the way.
Please stop confusing threads and getting in the way when people are trying to rectify problems.

I replied because I was concerned that the mentioned note could've been missed earlier. Since Susan has re-confirmed above, that much is now very clear (if it wasn't before).
Susan, if possible, please do respond to Gromit82's question about exactly "how your credit appeared or will appear on the two Wicked Attraction episodes." (There is a good reason why he asked, and it will certainly be helpful if you can supply that information.)

Susan:
You wrote: "The name I want to use is: Susan E. Reilly for everything."
But that's not what I asked. I asked how your credit appeared or will appear on the two "Wicked Attraction" episodes and the forthcoming film Shifting Grounds.
The reason I ask is that for all IMDb credits, if a person's name is listed differently on screen from their regular IMDb name, there is supposed to be an (as ...) attribute to indicate how they were credited on screen.
Your "Wicked Attraction" and Shifting Grounds credits showed up on the pages of Susan Reilly (I) at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5430710/, and Susan Reilly (II) at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm7623033/.
So that implies that somebody -- the person who submitted those credits to IMDb -- thought that those credits were credited under the name "Susan Reilly" with no middle initial.
They may have been right or they may have been wrong -- maybe you really were credited with your middle initial. They may have known that it was you, Susan E. Reilly, or maybe they didn't know. Either way, that's not the issue.
The question is: What name appeared or will appear on screen in those credits? Not what name you want to use, not what you would have preferred to appear on screen, but what name actually did appear on screen.

- Sometimes Francis Ford Coppola has dropped his middle name and just was credited as "Francis Coppola".
- When Meredith Baxter was married to David Birney, she was credited as "Meredith Baxter Birney".
- Roseanne Barr married Tom Arnold and was credited as "Roseanne Arnold", until they got divorced and she decided to be credited just as "Roseanne" again, then later went back to the name Roseanne Barr.

It appears the roles were "uncredited." I just watched the "Dressed To Kill" episode and there are no actors credited on screen.
So, the roles can be added to the Susan E. page but need to have "(uncredited)" attribute added to the entry.
What this means is, they will be added to the page but will be suppressed unless/until at least one "credited" entry is added per http://www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?uncreditedcredits

Susan: Please check the junk or spam folders of your e-mail. It's very unusual that you would miss getting a receipt from IMDb even once, much less twice in a row.
Hello, So far I haven't received and receipt but I should get one for this comment right? We will see. Anyway, can you tell me what the status is for the Wicked Attraction episodes? Because I am not listed in the credits does that mean they stay as they are on my profile?
Thanks!
Thanks!
... So far I haven't received [a] receipt but I should get one for this comment right? ...No. AFAIK, such receipts are not issued in response to any messages posted here on this board. Earlier, you asked:
... do I get a receipt when I respond to you directly or do I have to be in the IMDB website to get one? ...In my experience, such receipts have been issued after I:
(1) click the "Edit page" button on a page on IMDb.com, and then
(2) go through the editing procedure to request specific changes
or additions to the information on the page, and finally
(3) click the "Submit these updates" button
to submit the changes for processing.
After I click "Submit these updates" button, then IMDb sends a receipt
(to the email address that is registered on the IMDb account that I was
using when I submitted the edit).

Susan: Nobo* is correct. You aren't going to get a receipt for posting here on GetSatisfaction.com, at least not any receipt that I would be looking for. The only receipts I am talking about are the ones you get from submitting data on IMDb.com.
Regarding the underlying problem of getting your credits corrected, I started a separate thread to deal with the fact that you are listed as an actor instead of an actress on Shifting Grounds. I haven't been able to fix that properly because the film hasn't been released yet. See https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/problems-editing-a-credit. In that thread, IMDb staffer Michelle said that she has reached out to the applicable staff to investigate the problem and would let us know when she had an answer.
I don't know if this will help, but I have just submitted a "Gender: Female" correction to your page, in hopes that this will get you listed as an actress instead of an actor. (That didn't use to be effective by itself, but maybe it is now.) If that gets you listed as an actress, we can then proceed to get your "Wicked Attraction" credits moved over. Otherwise, we will need to wait for Michelle to solve the other problem (in which we can't fix your credit on the as-yet-unreleased film).
*"Nobo" is my new nickname for the user known as Nobody. It's too ambiguous to say "Nobody is correct" when I'm talking about somebody known as "Nobody". Hopefully this nickname works for him.

But it makes me giggle when I write, "as Nobody has said..." :)
DavidAH_Ca, Champion
But it makes me sad when I get an email that says : "Nobody likes your post." Seems like a troll's flame. :)
I have seen those in the past when I tried to correct the problem but I have not seen them recently.

Susan: I will try to call the IMDb staff's attention to this.
Note: If any staffers are reading this, the main problem we need help with is that Susan E. Reilly is not receiving her e-mail receipts for her data submissions. The rest of the issues, I should be able to advise her with (other than the one that I already started a separate thread about).
