I'm thoroughly disgusted

As you can see by looking at my profile, I've had quite a bit of experience in becoming the editor for various people here at TV.com. But recently the moderators have been rejecting submissions for completely spurious reasons, and I've had enough. I have just had two submissions in a batch of five total rejected because I listed my source as IMDb but did not provide a link to the specific page. However, the other three, from different sources, were accepted at the same time in spite of the fact that there was no link for them, either. Now, IMDb is easily searched, so why would a link be necessary for them, but a magazine article, which would take significantly more tracking down by the moderators, would not need one?! There seems to be no logic behind these rejections! I also had a bio for the model Iman rejected because I named Wikipedia as my source, because supposedly Wiki isn't always accurate. However, the exact same info from a fansite for Iman was accepted! And some additional info from Wiki that I submitted for her trivia section was also taken without any problem. The moderators have a difficult, tedious, thankless job to do, and I don't want to totally trash them out of pique. But there needs to be some consistency. I need to know what I need to do to make this site better. So, in the future I will be providing links for all submissions, in spite of the fact that 99.9% of my previous submissions were accepted without them. I have also decided not to submit bios until I become the editor of the person in question, because that seems to be the section that is most stringent in it's requirements. It's almost gotten me to stop going for people altogether, but that would be giving up, and I enjoy what I do here to much to do that. So cross your virtual fingers with me that the mods don't find some other niggling thing to reject out of the blue, and let me get back to doing what I do without any more drama.:?
