I did quite a few contributions last week and a lot were rejected without any reason given whatsoever.
I'd like to know what i need to correct before I try to submit again.
Can anyone help me here?

for example UPC 9789063010690 and 9789063010706

I've just had a quick look and my first thoughts are that your notes are very vague.
But without knowing what you were wanting to change I can't be specific.
For example, on one you say "added discs", but the profile already contains 4 discs with disc IDs, so I don't know what you meant by this.

The screeners only have a set of standard rejection descriptions for the most common reasons. If yours didn't have one of these, then it means it was for a reason that doesn't crop up very often.

For Unit 13: You changed Marcel De Hoogd to Marcel de Hoogd, that's all I can see. Which is correct and can be documented: http://www.geluidsmensen.nl/

My only comment here is that I would consider HIGHLY unlikey that there could be any valid changes made to the mentioned titles at this point in time. Nearly every one of us owns them and they have been gone over with a fine-tooth comb numerous times, anything is possible, but highly unlikely.

No idea what Skip's talking about. I suspect very few of us own the mentioned titles and certainly the versions released in the Netherlands.

If your notes are correct on at least one submission it seems you were adding the episode numbering to the discs, which looking at the profile is valid, they are currently labeled disc 1, disc 2 etc...

So were there any no votes and were there any other fields submitted you didn't cover in the notes?

If not then I suggest you resubmit with clear notes explaining this is a TV series and you are updating the disc labels to reflect the episode numbering.

Exactly Lithurge, I added the episode descriptions and thats all. For some UPC's I also added the disc ID's as there weren't any discs at all defined.
I didnt change names of actors and didn't submit these either, only disc information

There were only positive votes for the entries (noone voted NO).

However, all submissions for hwhich I added discs/episodeinfo were denied so something must be off i assume?

@ skip: u gotta cut down on the smoking dude :-)

Possibly not, the screeners do make the odd mistake just like the rest of us now and again.

So long as  you add a clear note that you are amending the disc names to show the episode numbers as this is a tv series it should go through. If not  you can always PM Gerri Cole to see if she can shed any light/watch out and accept the contribution next time.

yeah, Lithurge is right, the screeners are only human - and because it's a non-english DVD they may not have been aware it was a TV series.

I am not sure which these are, but there were alot with disk IDs that contained some other language in as description. I am used to seeing things like Main Feature and Episode. If this is Episode in another language, then just let me know. I am, after all, a dumb american, and English is the only language that I know.  If these aren't them, they I dont remember... they all blend together after awhile

It has always been my understanding that we don't translate these standard descriptions. I use "Main Feature" for DVD's from all regions, and I don't translate it to, say, "Hoofdfilm" when it's a DVD from the Dutch locality, and so on. Same for something like "Episodes 1-4" or "Bonus Materials". I very much prefer to keep these identical (thus: using the English standards as indicated in the contribution rules) for all localities - I hope I'm not alone in this...

I don't think it should matter what language the descriptions are in, either english or the locality's language. After all, we don't translate overviews so why should we translate disc descriptions?
In the cases mentioned, we have a German TV series released on German DVD - it seems logical that the disc descriptions be in german.

PS Gerri, the german for episodes is "Episoden", so I think even a "dumb American" would be able to work it out!

Yes, thats probably it then. I added it like "Aflevering 1 - 4", aflevering meaning Episode.
I thought the "1 - 4" string was a dead giveaway tho
