Its seems to me just recently that people from outside the UK are trying to push their version of UK releases upon the UK users in this community.

In the last few days we have had up for voting 2 contributions for

Genesis: When in Rome Live 2007

The majority of the No votes have been as rightfully pointed out, incorrect release date for the UK, SRP in Euro's instead of as expected £, amongst other things.

Other titles recently that I have come across insist that the UK doesn't use English as a language for the Overviews. Tonight (6:00PM 30/5/08 UK time) I have a title for voting that insists Tranformers was released in the UK with 14 Subtitles because his rear cover says so, complete with a new scan which shows as much, despite the online DB carrying the correct one for the UK release.

On top of this, and the reason behind this rant, I checked my Reputation Rating this evening (first time in a while) to find a Negative Vote against a NO vote for one of the Genesis contributions, because I put this as a reason for the No Vote:-

"UK Release Date 26/5/08 according to Amazon, Zavvi, Tesco. Yet another non UK resident without UK details about a release"

Well if your outside the UK and are trying to shove your data at us, please try and make sure it's coreect to the UK when you submitting a UK profile, just because you brought the DVD in your local shop in (elsewhere in Europe) with the same EAN / Disc ID doesn't make it a UK Profile.

If people keep submitting incorrect data I will (and I hope other UK user's) keep voting against them.
Just use your own Locality to contribute, or did you try and other uses from your locality threw them out?

Steve,

I'm in complete agreement with you on this as I recently found a Arnie film (The 6th Day) under UK locality when it had a Japan cover, I have provided Ken with the details to have this profile changed.

The current one for voting by heuts is not the submission that brought about this topic. (just to make it clear to all)


But as first stated, it does annoy me that other European user try to ram their Locality details into the UK lociallty profiles. We recently had a discussion on this over a submission concerning Re-Release covers, but all too often I am getting submissions for voting on whereby the Profile is being submitted as UK but clearly from another European country.

If those of you for who I have voted No against your contributions are agrieved then so be it, but why are you not using your own Locality (Yes i know, not all European countries have their own Locality), but that doesn't mean you can shove it into the UK one just because it's there.

Try shoving into a Locality nearer to your own (and No Netherlands that doesn't mean you can shove all yours into the UK you have your own Locality).

Steve

anyway venting here in the forum will most likely not work. As the forum user base is approx. 150. I think you get a better result by PM the offender, explaining him/her nicely what is going wrong with his/her contribution and point them to the solution. And we see the same behavior from UK users in the other localities of R2.
