| | Posted: | | | | Since my update to the "2 GUNS" Combo pack for UPC: 025192167782 was declined how about one of you that voted it down add/correct all the missing info so that it matches the other North America UPC's in the data base... I think that my update was voted down by name and not by UPC. As this UPC is missing half of the data which is listed in UPC: 025192213533 : and/other info listed in UPC : 025192213649 : | | | Growing older is mandatory...Growing up is optional...

| | Posted: | | | | Have you checked the status of the profile recently?
Is it by any chance possible that another contribution (by Harry Cover) was already pending and possibly provided better documented data?
Please check for pending updates BEFORE contributing, and make sure your contribution actually adds value. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

| | Posted: | | | | I am not sure what you mean by "voted down by name" as pending contributions are seen, by the voters, based on the UPC that they own. What probably happened is what Lewis states...a pending contribution was accepted, which made your contribution incompleter or incorrect. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Looking at the contribution history I'd ask what reasons people gave for voting no, I suspect it was around the fact a previous contribution had already provided cast and crew taken from the credits and that there were already better pending cover contributions.
It does mean some crew are missing from this profile and there's a very minor difference in a cast role, but then there's no guarantee which contribution has got it 100% correct without actually checking the credits.
If these were the reasons the voting doesn't seem unreasonable when your notes are basically you coped data from other titles, when other contributors have stated they've used the data from the film.
Although there is also the missing overview, which does seem to be something of a trend in profiles these days. | | | | IVS Registered: January 2, 2002 | | | | Last edited: by Lithurge |

| | Posted: | | | | The contribution got no's (I was one of them) because all that was supplied was cover artwork which was exactly the same as what was already in there at the time (two days before someone else submitted better scans anyway). In fact, last I had checked, a few days ago, there wasn't a single yes vote for it. | | | | Last edited: by The Movieman |

| | Posted: | | | | (1) At the time of the UPLOAD there were no pending contributions (picture or other wise) that I could see for this UPC. (They showed up after my upload) and I uploaded the best images of the two sets that were available and all actor/disc/description data.
(2) I took info from "Both" of the other two disc's and combined to make sure no data was missing.
(3) So when I accepted the NEWER contribution that was released, I had expected it not to be missing any data.. the biggest missing was the description of the movie!
I am not mad at anybody.. I just want a correct contribution will all data! | | | Growing older is mandatory...Growing up is optional...

| | Posted: | | | | If the contribution(s) have been approved and released, and there is still data missing, why not contribute that data? |

(They showed up after my upload) Did you actually check this by using the vote function or just by submitting your update? I ask because the cover scans referred to were submitted on the 8th December, three days before your contribution, however they wouldn't have shown in the update comparison as they had not been accepted by the 11th. As for correct data I'm not convinced what you sumbitted cast and crew wise is correct, for example in the cast the current profile has Dr. Ken with a full stop as a cast role. In the one you copied there is no full stop. Why I'm not convinced is a later cast credit refers to Dr. Ken's assistant, in both profiles this has a full stop. I have no issues with copying existing accepted cast and crew where none exists in a profile, I do it myself, or it's clear that the existing data has been taken from a certain 3rd party source. However where somebody has entered data taken from the film credits any copied data that's different should be checked first. | | | | IVS Registered: January 2, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | So it seems the only thing you really contributed were cover scans.
For next time, please remember to tick the boxes in front of every data section on your contribution screen (= where you are asked to submit contribution notes). If you forget, the data in question will NOT be contributed. |
