There is no requirement under the Rules to do this!

Exact. Rules are yet very complicated (for english speaking people, and I don't tell about people who do not speak english), but there are some users that want even more, just to be sure more users will stop contributing (as they did themselves...)

Stop your negative attitude

In the past, new contribution were not submitted to rules as strict as now, and the vote system for modifications didn't exist. Now, ex-contributors who disagree with some of the rules (the obligation to recopy typos in overviews for example), have stopped contributing. As for actors, some people do not want the order of appearance, which sometimes put the main figures far in the list. But rules oblige to list them exactly as in end credit. Users who disagree with that do not contribute actors...

None of those issues should prevent someone from contributing.  I prefer the main actors to be listed at the top of the profile as well.  What do I do?  I enter them 'as credited', upload the profile, then change my local version.  It really isn't that hard to do and doesn't take much time either.

Another problem is the obligation to explain contribution notes in english, even for new contributions. I know two people who wanted to contribute, but they do not speak english. As they didn't understand why their contributions were rejected, they stopped contributing.

Then why did they buy a program that is english based?  I am not trying to be an ass here, but Gerri...who handles most of the contributions...is American and only speaks english.  She has to know what is in the profile that is being added to her...and Ken's...database.

I am sorry, but this isn't a problem that Invelos created.

They bought this program because they saw it, in french, on my computer and found it marvellous. I installed their version, with my own translation file. So, for them, they can use it without speaking english.

We can only add data as it becomes available. You can't add Cast and crew data without the disc in your hand, unless it is re-release but then you must be careful to remove (uncredited) data from a previous profile, they have to be documented. Without the film in your hand where would you get Cast and crew data, don't even think about suggesting IMDb or some other third party source, did you sit in the dark theatre with a notebook in hand.

which UPC does your V for vendetta dvd have? I noticed you said an overview in french as if it was a bad thing. If french is not the language on your box, you might have added the DVD with a wrong locality. A french overview indicates Canada (Quebec) or France profiles, and especially the later locality's database secton isn't in the best shape. If the profile really is THAT empty, you might consider downloading the same movie from another locality (US, UK or Germany) and just change the locality and upc to yours afterwards, then do a refresh of the covers to get the right ones.
