Sorry Marrtian, I wasn't playing a game of gotcha. That's for others to play. You displayed a very fundamental failure to understand the problem, sadly not the first time. I am sorry such nistakes make me livid, at the Contributor and those who are blindly willing to accept it.

I don't have any cast contributions, from Kathy, in my voting queue so didn't have the extra information that you had.  If I had, my answer would have been different.

Since I didn't have that information, I answered the question that was asked, based on the information provided in the OP.  I'm not a mind reader, so what else could I have done?

I am going to self censor once again. 

I honestly believe that Kathy has misunderstood the proper use of the filter in this case...why else would she have asked the question?  I hope she comes back for further clarification and ignores 90% of the thread.

Of course, Skip can call people rapists and hijackers (and anything else he pleases). It's when someone defends themselves he decides he doesn't like personal attacks.

That's OK, Martian, I understand. It depresses to see the amount of BAD DATA that is being submitted accepted of late and some of it is SMALL things just like this that I will pick up on and semingly most everyone else is blind to it, OR doesn't care. I don't know which but either option is depressing.

I would like to clarify a couple of things.

Before I submit any contributions I refresh my database. The only data that I lock locally are genres and cover scans.

I have not added or changed any of the data that Skip has brought up. These changes were made by invelos. I did not touch, add or change Harry Connick. These were done by invelos.


As far as the BY: Skip is talking about The Insider UPC 717951007391: Michael Moore.

When I checked the accepted BY list there are 2 listed: Michael Moore (1954) and Michael Moore (1925).

The Michael Moore in this DVD had a BY of 1952 - not in the accepted BY list. This BY was also not in my local database. So when I submitted this profile it came up as Michael Moore (no birth year) which I thought was correct.

I received a "no" vote so I researched the data and found that indeed there is another Michael Moore (1952). I then withdrew the submission with the corrected data and an explanation.

This won't be the first mistake I will make but I will continue to contribute doing the best I can. So, going back to my original topic, I would like to hear from others on this topic.

I didn't call anyone by name, Sam. I stated a FACT that the database is being raped and hijacked by users submitting bad data and getting it approved. Now which user are you, you are blind to it or you don't care. But i called no one anything.

Kathy:

Look at your Contributiion it says Harry Connick, Jr. (Harry Connick Jr.) is being Contributed as Harry Connick, Jr. That is a CHANGE, don't pretend that it's not. It may be an unitended change, but it is a change. And your claim that you are simply allowing the filter to override your local, which it will do if you aren't careful, then has you making an errant Contribution.

Can you provide a UPC?  Clearly I am not understanding what the issue is and I want to be sure before I attempt to answer again.

What a nice reply to totally uncalled for accusations. I am humbled.

You truly are a gift to the community and an inspiration as to how to act.

(but honestly it just makes me want to defend you even more.  )

I censored my original comment, as I didn't want to add more fuel to the fire, but I have to agree with Rick.  Kathy is trying very hard to be a good contributor, and is one of the nicest people on these boards.  She deserves better treatment.

She is trying, granted, but mistakes are being made and approved and not just by Kathy. Such things are very upsetting and depressing to see happen and get approved...all too often.

Do you still need the UPC

Skip,

I know how you feel and what you are trying to get across. It might very well be that you are correct in your assessment.

But, I find the "rapist" and "hijacking" comments inappropriate and offensive. Please do not ever direct those type of comments to me in the future.

I would like to get this thread back on topic because, as the Martian has mentioned, I am confused by the way filters work.

Kathy:

It was directed at NO ONE, not even you. I am offended at the amount of BAD DATA that is entering the database each and every day, highly offended. Do you or anyone else care that I ma offended, based on comments of some users apparently NOT. So why do I care.

Now Kathy you appear to be trying to Cover your tracks by making a claim thatb you are copying data from another Profiler. That presents an interesting issue, since both Iron Giant profiles are OLD Profiles, we appear to have a conflict in the data, so did you bother to make note of that conflict and go check it against the ACTUAL data...NO you didn't. Your notes are now not clear. Iron Giant was TEN years ago, the Special Edition was released SIX years ago, check the data agsint the ACTUAL when you sed a conflict, so that we know which is right. IF I had to guess I would say , Jr. is correct, but a guess is all I can do with my copy in a box a mile away, but I don't guess. I assume you have your copy at hand, if you do check it resolve the conflict for this particular version.

I expanded on my documentation after receiving your private message to me. Here is my response to you telling you I did so. Please note the time.

"Posted: April 27, 2010 7:39 PM

I corrected the things that needed to be corrected - maybe you didn't see them. If you don't agree with them, please keep voting "no". I always double check and make sure I am following the rules and fix mistakes that I have made.

I am sorry if Ken's filters do not please you but you need to discuss that with him."

It was after this I brought this topic to the forums.

Edit: I edited that profile at 3:02 this afternoon. I only know how to cut and paste so that is what I have done for the pm note and this one.

"Edit: Clarification: additional documentation of sources, including CLT, is also supplied at UPC 085391831822.
