| Posted: | | | | You should also be presented with a reason why they are declined. What does it say?
Keep in mind that when submitting updates, you need to provide the source for your updates. If submitting new cover scans, make sure that the UPC matches the profile and that it's clearly a significant improvement. | | | Last edited: by Dr. Killpatient |

| Posted: | | | | Not all reasons it programed into the system.... so if you do not see the reason with your list of contributions... do you have any no votes? That could tell you what is wrong too.
If you don't have any no votes... and no reason given... then I would guess the only one that could tell you for sure is Gerri as she does most all of the screening from what I understand. | | | Pete |

| Posted: | | | | If you click on the red/green yes/no counts on the contribution page, it'll give you the reasons why people voted no. |

| Posted: | | | | I'm pretty new to contributions myself but thanks to the help of forum members, I am having little to no problems with any of them. Read the contribution rules, make sure you are uploading to the correct UPC on the profile (most dvds have multiple profiles with multiple UPCs)
Make sure that the image is actually better than the one you are uploading, is unmarked and undamaged.
EDIT: I posted before your last reply. If that is going to be your attitude, i'd suggest not asking for help here. People are genuinely trying to help you. | | | Last edited: by icefyre |

| Posted: | | | | out of curiosity, did you state all of that in your notes when you contributed? |

| Posted: | | | | Your contributions were declined for a variety of reasons. These include the fact that you did not indicate any sources and your scans had the wrong UPC on them. Or the scans were very small. Most of the declines do indicate the reasons why they were declined.

| Posted: | | | | Contributing cover scans is one of the hardest areas to get stuff accepted. When you do get voters, some of them are very fussy about scans, and after that you have to persuade the screeners that there is a "significant improvement" in your scans. I notice you've resubmitted your El Orfanato covers, and one thing I've noticed is that your notes don't explain why your scans are the right ones and what improvements you've made. You have to remember the screeners don't physically have the DVDs to compare the scans to. So even if it seems obvious to you why they're better, you still have to explain why in your notes. Also your cropping seems a bit off - you can see the rounded corners of the case at the bottom, but not at the top - that should be fixed ideally. Finally, your front cover shows a different image to what's already there. I've just had a quick look at a few online shops and they also show the current cover. Was this released with a number of covers? If so, you need to explain that because the screeners may think you have a re-release cover. Edit: see Gerri's post - she's the boss! | | | Last edited: by northbloke |

| Posted: | | | | Well I seem to have almost no problems anymore in submitting covers so long as you stick to common sense and make sure you're following the guidelines. |
