What I could do: in case any of you suspect a UK entry to be Dutch, Belgian or German, PM me the EAN and I'll have a look and let you know. I think I'm sufficiently familiar with these three localities to tell you one way or the other.

sounds overly complicated to me.

All the ones I'm tagging are simply not UK (wrong rating logo). I'm sure it would be pretty easy for Ken/Gerri to work from 27 backups.

can we keep a track of who is doing what so we don't double up

Wouldn't a backup without images be better? Ken can import that into a test database....

So who's going to be the brave one and do 'T' 

I'd agree that a backup sans images would be better. Ken being the technical whizzo that he is, he can probably handle pretty much anything, but giving it to him in its native format seems most sensible.

So what's the plan, collate them in one database (possibly via snarbo) or send to Ken in batches?

Several major studios release generic versions of their DVDs intended for markets too small to warrant their own releases. These are currently in the UK locality, mostly due to their English language covers. If the absence of ratings symbols is the only criteria used for deletion, then these profiles will be caught out as well.

I realise these are not UK releases and ideally shouldn't have UK locality, but they don't belong in any other locality either, not being intended for any single market. The profiles are valid and useful to many Profiler users so I recommend they be allowed to remain as UK profiles until Ken creates an 'Interational' locality.

See EAN 7-321917-594189 for an example.

I believe that the correct word is "bugger". Well, I suggested to Ken that he submit them for voting rather than simply delete them, so that would do as a way of stopping it as long as people that own the profiles check their votes before they go boom. You're right that a generic 'other' locality would be a better solution though.

Just out of curiosity, what locality is that DVD?

The current count of profiles is a little over 37,000 for the UK locality at the moment. Who reckons that this exercise will drop it by more than 10k?

The only thing that would arouse suspicion with regard to this being a UK release is the absence of a UK rating label. Other than that, there is nothing - at least as far as I can see - to suggest any other locality. Region coding, Overview language, audio tracks, subtitles - all are consistent with loads of certified UK entries.

And what's funny This German webshop claims it's a UK import...

Better be careful what to submit for deletion!
