His changes on on that show are a bit strange as well. He added Germany as production and origin country and the overview is random.

He is doing it again!

The odd thing I keep seeing is the Synchotron adding "Documentary" as a genre to TV shows that definitely aren't documentaries. I've seen it on Conviction, Ascension, and Hostages.

and Third Watch

and Cold Case

and The Whispers

This bot changes some french (France) titles with the ones used for french Canada, most of the time if the movies use the original title in France (so without a translated title) .

For example, Starman from John Carpenter

The bot also incorrectly added data belonging to the 2019 feature length film Night Walk on the entry for a 2020 short film of the same name.

TMDB-Synchrotron added overview and production info from Connie Lynn (2022) to Nuori luotsi (1913).

TMDB-Synchrotron is adding content rating, production company, and Spanish translations for the French children's show Didou to Louie. It's also adding a NR rating, which is something it's doing with a lot of shows that already have the correct rating entered.

For some unknown reason, it erroneously added Spanish as a spoken language to the entry for the anime, Iroduku: The World in Colors.

TMDB-Synchrotron has been editing Bitch Ass by adding the translated title "B.A.", unfortunately this is not correct. I have reverted it several times but it keeps coming back.

The bot added the overview of an episode (see here and here) to the series: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/105334-erlebnis-osterreich/changes?filter_key=key&filter=overview

I've deployed a fix for Synchrotron that should prevent it from adding useless title translations that match the original release country and language. If you spot other issues like this, locking the field is the best way to prevent it from re-applying an edit after you revert.

TMDB-Synchrotron is confusing the FOX animated series Bordertown with the Finnish series Sorjonen (Bordertown), adding information from both to each other.

Bot added a episode overview of the seires NDR Kultur – Das Journal to Kulturjournal. (Well, seems like its a duplicate anyways, but an episode overview shouldn't be on a series still – I see that quite a few times now.)

Edit: A strange overview has been added to Planet Wissen

Edit2: He's adding the overview of the seires to an individual episode on this entry.

I noticed strange behavior since December 23. TMDB Synchotron is periodically adding the text "Cinema Canvas: " in front of the original title and saving it as a translated title for languages nl-NL and/or nl-BE. I have been changing this back but for e.g. Donnie Brasco it just recently reverted the change again. See https://www.themoviedb.org/search/movie?query=cinema%20canvas for all affected movies.

This makes zero sense. Cinema Canvas is a TV broadcast showing films on Belgian television and has nothing to do with Dutch/Belgian titles of movies.

I have removed all Dutch and Belgian titles that the bot keeps changing to ‘Cinema Canvas: …’ but I do not have locking rights. Like I said earlier here, all these movies do not have a Dutch/Belgian translated title. Could someone lock these perhaps?

The bot has added info for Shirley (2020) to Shirley (2024). Though that was already back in December.

It sure loves Spanish: https://www.themoviedb.org/u/TMDB-Synchrotron/activity?filter_key=key&filter=languages

Lovely language, but it seems most of these additions are wrong. Been happening for a while.

Some of the other languages it adds to shows aren’t right either.

Edit: Unless the language field is empty, it probably shouldn’t touch this field as it’s causing more problems here than anything.
