And your definition of common sense is what exactly, I bet it will be different froim someone else's. Now get the heck out of here, especially if you refuse to follow the Rules.

I'm happy to see that I'm not alone to think that, though writing the same thing earned me many flames...

Not at all, Gunnar, as I have said hundreds of times. I make my Contributions per the Rules whether I like the result or NOT. In this case NO I am not happy about it at all, but it is what the Rules now say to do and the BEST I can do is adjust the Original Title field accordingly. I will say that I am deeply amused and not at all surprised to find that those who wanted the Rule changed are now not pleased with the result. In the meantime my personal position rermains exactly what it was when this discussion canme up the last time, the ON SCREEN title and whatever it contains is the title is in my opinion the best answer. No spite at all, just amusement, I only go where the Rules and the data say to go. This also means I do not create fictitious data or bogus arguments to support unnecessary Common Names or whatever else we have, and this is why I have said before i don't comprehend the problems that everyone has. I see what the data says, and what the Rules say to do with it for Contribution purposes and I am fine with that. Unlike Yves and others I don't require that the Online mirror my preferences, I only require that MY data mirror my preferences, and if the Online does not mirror my particular vagaries, I can (1)not contribute the data or (2) contribute the data to the Rules and then reset it my way....no biggie.

Don't just do Star Wars II - if you want to be consistent, you should submit new titles for all six Star Wars DVDs to please the anal-minorities like myself. I thought we've been through this already in a thread last month discussing the same thing. I think Skip is doing it to prove a point about the extremes of the rules can be taken too; which is fine.

Inconceivable!
I noticed that Skip didn't submit a change for Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace even though he owns it in his collection. I wonder why? Is it because it's specifically used as an example in the rules using "Episode" in the title? Even thought on the cover there is no "Episode" listed anywhere on the front cover. According to the rule and the way Skip is using it, He should contribute it as Stars Wars I: The Phantom Menace, but he can't because it would contradict the example in the rules. So if the cover for Episode I doesn't include the word episode, yet Ken used it as a specific example in the rules, why isn't the rule, and based on the example in the rule, not being properly applied to the rest of the series by Skip?
And we went through this with hal9g only 3 weeks ago. These crusades to show people how wrong the rules we all live by are getting old.

Not true, Ross, there is a reason, the Rules were chnaged.

@Chris

Did you not read what I said. ALL titles will be updated. I happen to be working on the them now, its their turn in the rotation. It takes time because for some reason my original scans were lost in the move to #.x and I have to re-do each one of them, in addition to the audit. I have 6 down and three yet to do.

Kathy:

Please take note trhat the new Rule is highlighted, which means it was changed. The part you cite is not highlighted andtherefore has NOT been updated.  To attempt to use that validate your position completes eliminates the Rule. As one place sayds to do this and another one says do something else.

One more reason why this entire community and program have become ridiculously stupid. Everyone and their mother knows that the movie is called "Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones" (omitted punctuation aside). But we have to make things difficult, and change the title of the movie for absolutely no reason.

It doesn't matter what the title of the movie is.  It only matters what the title of the DVD is.  In this case, Skip should have included the Original title.
