Well, since I was named as one of the "funny-no-voters" as well, I take the liberty to add some more insight on the "always correct but just a tid bit unsourced" contributions by the thread starter:

Before you do so, one moment please, for me it's important that we stick to the facts right from the beginning: I never named you as one of the funny-no-voters.
Quote:
On Sept. 13 he contributed changes to the profile Der Texaner [7-321921-125881], stating in his notes "+ CoO. All information from DVD."

Yes, that's correct. And before someone starts complaning about not sufficient documentation of the source: the one and only production company is the Malpaso Company.
Quote:
Well, as it turns out, he also changed the SRP of said profile, from 20.43 € to 14.99 €, a value that's 100% wrong, since the release date of the DVD is prior to the introduction of the € in Germany.

As I already wrote in the answer to your personal mail:

I did not submit this SRP-change. I generally do not submit SRP-changes, because I, usually, do not have a source for SRPs available, especially for older releases. The SRP you speak of already was in the online-database. Think about it: the voters and screeners did not even accept some of my accurate contributions, then they would not on your life have accepted a completly undocumented and wrong contribution!
Quote:

Upon changing the SRP back to the value the profile carried before (btw, a profile imported into the Invelos db on Mar 13 as it was at IVS),

It was not the value from my contribution, you wanted to change, it was the original value. As there were innumerable outdated profiles in the beginning of the new database in March.
Quote:
guess who votes no, claiming the change back to be unsourced

I voted no, that's correct, for the simple reason that you submitted a change to an existing profile without naming any source. Especially for SRP-changes of older releases, I think a valid source is absolutely essential.

Quote:
and I'm going to do my part to keep bad data out of the db or even avoid the risk for it to enter.

So do I. And regarding my or anybodys credibility in every aspect: you supported my contributions 24 times with a YES-Vote until the very last, and never voted against me one single time.

Then I probably misunderstood your post a couple of pages back.

Don't take my "Yes" votes as agreement to your statements and sources, but merely as a supporting "aye!" regarding the correctness of the change.

Yeah, I voted "Yes" to your contributions, but I had to crosscheck them all (except for those I positively KNEW to be correct), and after a while I didn't have the time to do so and started voting "Neutral" (something you don't see on your contributions page).

That's when you started having the real problem of insufficient documentation, as more and more voters obviously lost trust in your notes and didn't have the time or urge to crossreference your submissions.

But I mentioned that several times already and also advised on a possible course of action for you.... to no avail.
