Just voted NO on the Species release change. Amazon is the source given for this change but if you look at DVD Empire it shows 4/4/91, that shows you how reliable those dates are. The movie was only made in 1995.

That's what I call a Prerelease    
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

As noted you are in UK RTWO, why are you arguing over R1. If you tell me that R2 titles are released aon thursdays and i can check that quickly, then cool, what do I know from R2 tritles. Sorry I am interested in ACCURATE data not data which we know to be historically incorrect if it is other than Tuesday and NOT made up data from some questionable third party source.

Give me a press release and I'll buy; it anything else, not just NO but Hell NO!!!!!

@ Goblins. wow cool, Species released to DVD not 4 years before the movie but 6 years BEFORE DVD.

It is also NOT the responsibility of voters to try and help the user verify his data, your Vote Notes are NOT part of the permanent record  for a title, the ONLY permanent record are the notes of the Contributor.

I saw this happening this morning and began to do some checks on a certain DVD (not sure which it was now). I entered the name of the DVD into Google and then searched out release date of the DVD. I found it at 5 or 6 different sites and there was 3 different dates for its release. I mentioned that in the vote and voted yes ... WHY? ... I don't know. Stupidity I guess.

I have since gone back and voted NO on all of the changes he has been trying to make.

I wondered about this since, like it has been said in here, that MOST of the DVDs come out on Tuesdays.

Can't fault the guy ... I did (and still do) some stupid things in here.

He will learn ... hopefully

You are absolutely correct Mark. If you look around on the web you find 3 or more release dates for most of the titles this user is changing. We should leave the release date alone unless we have a reliable source as Skip mentioned, press release or something direct from the distributor.

I noticed this yesterday and voted neutral on all his/her changes while I looked for better sources. Gonna vote no on all of them as they are all not on a Tuesday and do not fall anywhere near a national holiday.

Be on the look out... I have noticed him re-submitting some of these. He also submitted/Resubmitted a back cover art for a Goosebumps DVD from dvdempire that clearly shows Copyrighted Material on it.

Not trying to start a fight here, but what does it matter where Richie is?  How many times have you involved yourself in other regions?  How many times have you added DVDs, from other reagions, to your wish list just to vote on them?

I know that many of our friends around the world purchase R1 DVDs, so let's not start excluding peeople from discussions simply because of where they live.

You missed the point again, sir.

Perfectly normal for one who parses down to the word. You miss the bigger pctiure, by trying to focus on the brush strokes.

Then, please, enlighten me.

You still have no idea what a parser does, do you?  Let me help you...using your own example.

You are correct, as a parser I see the brush strokes.  However, being a parser does not mean I don't know that those brush strokes, when put together, form a larger picture.  As a parser, I can enjoy the subtlety of those strokes as well as the whole picture.  Appreciating one does not mean I am blind to the other.  A bad assumption on your part.

God, i can't believe i have to 'splain it to you, Loooocy.

Point #1 I was not the first to make the comment, I merely echoed it.
Point #2 There are areas as i explained that I do nothave sufficient information to be able to deal with it, such as potential release conventions in UK, if there are any.
Point #3 On those rare ocassions when I electronically cross the big pond, it is NOT rock science, I can see  quite easily that Cast or crew data is being mishandled or that an Overview on a back cover might be in say Finnish and someone is trying to Contribute ENGLISH. Put your rocks back in your pouch, you don't know or understand enough to use them.

Sheeeesh!!!!!

Any time I see a conflict in release dates at different sources where one is a Tuesday and another is not, I go with the Tuesday date and vote accordingly.
