Sure... don't even have to look in the rules... right in the same quote... reordering info within a single field.

and from the rules...

Do not make contributions that only change or re-order Genres

So there is 2 right there.

There were others I can think of but we had them removed from the rules to allow just those changes.

But either way as long as the rules say that you would have to show where the rules tell us not to make said change to use that rule to vote no.

To make the argument of others, what is the point of contributing them? It makes absolutely no functional difference to the program. I think they should be treated just like genres. I doubt Ken even gave this a thought when he implemented the filter.

The point of contributing them is it is obviously what he wants for the database.... What is the point in waiting? They all must be all updated to the rules sooner or later. And the contributions are correct per rules.

The questioned asked about the rule was answered correctly per the rules.,, was it not?

It is? Where did he say that? It is a method to deal with contributions, doesn't mean he is rubber-stamping the silly new rules.

What is the hurry?  How many times have these 'new' rules have changes?  have you seen some of the crap that has been submitted?  Good data being overwritten by bad data.

That's where you're dead wrong.  No one "must" update anything in the online database.

If we wanted to change all profiles immediately, I would run an updater.  We'll have an override process for specific titles soon, so treat this like any other minor change.  If you have other changes to submit, and if the filter is operating correctly for the title, submit it.  If either of these is not true, don't check the checkbox.

I was thinking the same thing. Ken could simply run the filter on every title if he was concerned about fixing all of the titles in the database.

Thanks for the clarification that these should not be submitted except as part of a larger change.

In a world of common sense, a lot of them should not be added whether with a wider contribution or not.

While we're at it, it should be applied to episode dividers.....for consistency.

So, contributions should NOT be made if the only change is an update to the title? And, if so, are the screeners going to decline these contributions?

The reason I ask is I am finding dozens and dozens of contributions whose only change is "with" > "With" or "from" to "From" etc.

Personally, I feel that it shouldn't matter if the contribution is part of a larger contribution or not. If the change is correct per the rules, it should be allowed.

I wonder if such spelling filters work also for foreign languages like German, Italian or French the correct way, I doubt this is the case.
