The message you received is quite clear.

Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were non-specific. Please specify the exact source for your changes. (e.g. "Credits from film end credit list", "Previous version UPC#1111111111")

In your contribution notes did you include the EAN number of the profile you copied from?

And one more:

I found that my version of Ponyo was not on the profiler. I found another danish version on profiler, only chance was EAN and the backside (another EAN).

Then i got these: Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were non-specific. Please specify the exact source for your changes. (e.g. "Credits from film end credit list", "Previous version UPC#1111111111")

Is these site for stupid people??

I am sorry to say. That those who check your constrbutions must be wery stupid. So i will NOT use any time to make DVD profile better. I have about 200 titel that are not on Profiler. And i get 5-10 every week. But i dont think i can take this stupid crap.

No and why do they need that? It dosent stand anywhare? And even I can find it on DVD profiler when you seach. ANd for what use. You dont need the old version for anything. Why do you need the Norwegian version when i am making a Danish?

They are asking for it... that is all that really matters. If you are refusing to give it to them then in my opinion your contributions need to be declined.

Why they need it? Don't really matter... as long as they are requesting it we need to put it in our notes. But... maybe so they can look at that profile and check notes for stuff like documentation for any uncredited cast there may be. That would be one such reason right there.

Simply take note of the EAN BEFORE you change it. That is what I do. It is no trouble and it is what they request to approve the contribution.

That just sounds like one of the screeners is more strict on the rules then the other one.

In those cases I write as contribution note:

DVD or Blu-ray cloned from EAN 1-111111-111111. Changed currency, country, overview and what else I did change as from my film, coverscans taken from my own filmcovers.

With this it is pretty simple to get an approve.

I think you should stop insulting people. First step to contributing is to read the contribution rules and make sure to follow them. Please start there.

It sounds like cast/crew is what is preventing some of your contributions to be approved.

Like others said all you have to do is state in your notes that the data is copied from UPC# whatever or Disc ID#.

However, you can always just not include the cast/crew in your contribution and just note that either the data comes from the case and DVD or that you copied the data from an existing profile and give the specific UPC# or Disc ID it was copied from.

Getting contributions approved without cast/crew is usually a lot easier especially if all you want is is to get the profile into the main database.

You can always keep the cast/crew for yourself locally and not contribute them at all if you so wish.

Sad thing. They shut help those who for free are helping them instead os being a pain in the back 

SwissFilm yes, It is simple if you know it. But when you help a compagny, They cut be a little more niece and helpfull.

If they what the old EAN. Then it is a little stupid to write that they need an UPC.

And if you are an company that want those who help you to know all the rules, then at least they should know that UPC is not somthing we use outside USA/Canada http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Product_Code

And is was writing it was from Denmark.

But doh. :D

You should include the UPC or EAN from the disc that you got the data from. Or at least identify it in some meaningful  way. On one of your other rejections, you quoted your source as basically the cover but yet you listed full cast and crew. You need to be very specific on your sources, especially cast and crew. If you do that, you should be fine.

One thing I might have missed in the posts, but important to say:
If you change the EAN/UPC and/or the locoality, the online database treats the contribution as a new entry. There's no reference to the profile you copied from. That's the reason why sou have to call this in the contribution notes.

Btw, I prefer more the method to make a new entry in my database and then copy manually (DVD -> copy, DVD -> paste) the thingx I want to have. So I have still the reference at contributing. (After contributing I delete the old one.)

Rather than insulting the screeners, you should help them. They have a lot of contributions to go through, and can't spend a lot of time on each individual one. Please note that Invelos is a very small company.

As for EAN and UPC, they are the same thing by a different name. You get that when using American products, including software.
