   That sounds awful.  You'd think that after providing verifiable proof of   
   the correctness of your information, IMDb, Wiki and Netflix would be   
   able to lock down certain fields or at least put in a note *for* *the*   
   *administrators* *to* *see* , to clue them in on the history of the   
   changes to that field on that page.
