From the new rules...
If quotes surround the title in the credit block (generally on the back cover), check whether the possessive is within the quotes.
Possessive examples: "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride", John Carpenter's "The Thing". In each case, the portion within quotes is the title.

From the credit block of UPC 085391 219828



It clearly shows the title should be changed from the current Stephen King's It, to It.


However one    user  decides the rules are wrong AGAIN and should be IGNORED, and this time claims the title should be It! - thats It! with the exclamation mark. There is NO reference to this in the credit block, front cover etc. HE has voted NO to the change.


They are voting ILLEGALLY, and I believe demonstrating further THEIR desire in PERVERTING the database to THEIR SELFISH wishes.

Double hypocrite.

I agree, Richie. Perhaps the new ability to edit contribution notes will help.

I recommend editing the notes as well. It took a couple of glances to notice what the change was. As for Skip he is voting no, because he thinks you are changing to Stephen King's It, at least that is what I understand from his vote, but who knows.
We're on a mission from God.

Thanks James.  That made me too.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Good call, Skip. Now how about you try to live by that yourself as well?

We know, but you never listen to yourself.

If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

Skip's evil plan? Are you daft? The inmates have taken over the asylum, I have no plan other than to build the best and most accurate database there is for DVD, NOT a clone of IMDb.
