Simply stating - as you did - that two people with the same name exist, is not enough. At the very least, you would need to state in your notes that both guys are actually listed in the database. If, for instance, there are no profiles with the composer, then there's no need (nor is it allowed) to attach a birth year to the actor. Seems obvious, perhaps, and I have no doubt that you are correct, but the screeners can't guess that from your notes. So you might want to state that both are in the database, maybe adding a few titles for each of them that can be found in the database. Additionally, you should add where you got those birth years from.

They aren't reviewed right now - the label is somewhat confusing, but if you scroll down to the bottom of your Contributions page, you'll find:

Quote:
'Reviewing' indicates the contribution is in queue to be reviewed by a second level reviewer

So it's not so much being reviewed right now, but "in queue to be reviewed". Since new birth year additions are reviewed by "second level reviewers" and are under extra scrutiny to avoid unneccessary birth years from getting into the database, you'll find that they won't be processed at the same time as "normal" contributions. It can even take quite a bit longer at times.
