... If that was the case, then 'Fan Collective' would be the Edition to separate from the other versions of the movies. But I still don't think that applies to any of the fan collections that have been put together, as there are no other titles with the same name.

And if there is just 1 DVD out, let's say "Grey Hulk" as Extended Version, we still put Extended Version into the Edition field, even if there is no need for distinguishing. Exactly the same if there are 10 Version of "Grey Hulk" released, which are all the Extended Version, but no other version.

As explained, I can understand both variants and I can't decide which one is correct or wrong, so the idea with the poll was the best possibility.

For those that are voting for it to be an edition, I have to ask why, when The Official Star Trek store has them listed as:

Star Trek: Fan Collective - Alternate Realities

Star Trek: Fan Collective - Borg DVD Set

Star Trek: Fan Collective - Captain's Log DVD Set

Star Trek: Fan Collective - Klingon DVD Set

Star Trek: Fan Collective - Q DVD Set

...would we do it any differently?  Especially when they have the Star Trek: Fan Collective Collection (5 DVD Set)?  If 'Fan Collective' is the edition, would that make this set, Title: Star Trek: Collection, Edition: Fan Collective?

That's not so unusual. Many collections are released as a box set.

How, exactly, does this answer my question? 

I know what the rule says, but that doesn't answer the question...which was, why, when the people who made the set seem to consider it part of the title, are you suggesting that we do it differently?

Unlike VirusPil, I cannot see both sides of this arguement. 

I cannot see an edition in this cover at all.  To me it doesn't exist.

I am really beginning to understand the frustration of some users on this board, when we have to argue about things like this.

startrek.com has it listed as a title.  It is not a collection.  Collection and Collective are 2 different words.  And to top it off

...The proof of purchase tab, on the set I own, reads 'Star Trek: Fan Collective - Borg'.

emphasis mine. 

With a reference from the box and the official website, I do not understand how there can be any argument.

And for those that think "Star Trek:Captains Log: Fan Collective", this is the same argument we get into when we try to reproduce the graphics on the cover.

As I said earlier, this is no different than:

Star Trek: Voyager: Season 1

or

Star Trek: TOS: Season 3

"Voyager" and "TOS" describe which "series" (or grouping) of "Star Trek" we're talking about, while "Season X" describes the  specific set of episodes in that series.

"Fan Collective" describes the "series" (or grouping) of "Star Trek" we're talking about, while "Alternate Realities" or "Q DVD set" describes the specific set of episodes within that series.

"Fan Collective" is not an "Edition".

A Season Descriptor refers to the content itself. Fan Collective refers to a collection of DVDs.

P.s. it would solve a lot of multiple title counts in the CLT when the season descriptor of TV series has to be put in the edition field

By that logic, "Captain's Log" would be the edition as it refers to the content itself - not "Fan Collective".

A season descriptor describes the group of episodes in that box of DVDs in exactly the same way that Alternative Realities does.

If I were to do this in windoze, it would look like this:

Star Trek
      |
      |--------->Voyager
                      |
                      |---------->Season 1


and

Star Trek
      |
      |----------Fan Collective
                        |
                        |-----------------Alternative Realities
