Hi,
I wanted to contribute an Austrian Film Series and got following decline-reason:
Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted. Please include the sources for your changes in the contribution notes, especially for cast and crew additions.

Yes, I added most of the cast and the crew because most Austrian actors and crew members are not included in main cast and crew.
I searched the whole dvd profiler to contribute my changes, but didn't find anything for that purpose.

What do I have to do in this case ?

Please inform me, I would like to finish my contribution.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Christine

The Contribution rules for Cast and Crew can be found here. The general approach is to take the credits from the film.

If you are contributing uncredited cast and crew, you will need to provide some supporting evidence for the contributions. Examples of acceptable documentation include:

A screen capture of the actor in the film;
A link to a number of sites that confirm that they appeared in the film;
A time mark to identify the point at which they appear in the film.

All contributions require that a source/s be provided to support the contribution. Third-party databases such as IMDB are not acceptable.

An example of a an acceptable source would be:

Cast and Crew updated. Taken directly from the film credits.

The official homepage of the series is the preferred source.
If you only have third party sources (such as other online databases or Wikipedia), make sure that their sources are valid and not crossreferring each other.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Good point, I stand corrected.
