Hi everyone,

I bought above DVD at dvdboxoffice.com 2 years ago. The only version of this UPC in DVDP has locality USA, so when I added it to my collection I simply accepted it.
Now that I checked it I discovered my cover is different. It looks like the one in DVDP, but everything written on it is bilingual, english and french.
In my opinion this clearly indicates location Canada (Quebec?), what do you think?

dvdboxoffice.com is a merchant based in Toronto, CANADA
So, yes the locality is Canada and this is our usual pratice to have a cover based on the USA with billingual (English/French) title and overview.

If you want to contribute the english version of this dvd, use Canada for locality and If you want to contribute the French version of the  dvd, please use the Canada (Quebec) locality

If you have time do first the Canada English contribution (All English)
Erase the English Overview (add the French if you want to and Contribute) in Canada (Quebec)
And Instead making only one contribution you made 2

I don't know if it's the case for this particular dvd.
But sometimes we have reversible cover.  So for Canada (Quebec) version, we also have to re-scan the reverse side of the cover.

in that case contribute without cover if you don't have the time to make another scan.

OK, I contributed the Canada English profile, but somehow I don't think it would be OK to contribute the Quebec version. If I understand tarantino correctly, it could have a totally different cover than mine, also the overview is very hard to read and not understanding the language (French) makes it even harder.
But thanks very much for your advice.

There is very few profiles for Canada (Quebec).
Usually, a profile will be entered in this locality when the same UPC has two different covers.  One in English and one in French.

In this case, submitting for the Canada locality only, seems the right thing to do.

Just as easy for the next user to take the Canadian profile, change the locality, overview and cover. 
In the mean time, if there is any updates to the cast & crew, there's only one profile to update.
