Bugs in data

Hi all! I'm not sure how to report this type of bug in. During testing of my application which downloads movie informations from TMDb via the API I have notish several error and inconsistent in the returned data. For example. The ISO_3166-1 code in alternative titles should be 2 letter country code, but I have received 3 letter code, full name and 2 letter language code. The movies I have notish this in are:
- Legion (2010) ISO_3166-1 = full country name (Spain)
- Jack & Jill ISO_3166-1 = 3 letter code (USA)
- Spiderman3 ISO_3166-1 = 2 letter language code (EN)
The movie Golden Door also have parent company referencing to it self, causing loop while getting parent companies.
Where do I report bugs (or is it a bug) like this?
Best Regards, Haraldur

Hi HaraldurSa,
It is possible that from time to time you will find some data errors, when you do feel free to fix them. This is part of the benefit to using TMDb, you get to be in control when you find mistakes.
I have gone ahead and edited Legion, Jack & Jill, Spider-Man 3.

Hi Travis!
That sound good. I have several others that also have some error in them.
Thank you for the update.
