I too have been caught in this mess.  Locally, the few I have are all:

Title: Fill in the blank Collection
Edition: 4 Film Favorites

The couple that I've added to the online from scratch have since been reversed with the same logic that we must match the awful choice initially made to make the online consistent.

To me, it couldn't be more obvious that this is a line of releases that collectively fall under the 4 Films line, but have next to nothing to do with each other.  To me, this set of circumstances screams out "Edition", much like The Criterion Collection or even Fox Studio Classics.  Of course the reason we are at this juncture is simply because of folks "taking the title directly from the cover" without applying even the smallest amount of critical thinking.

Agreed... but it seems everyone that owns the titles seems to fight it with all they are worth. with my owning only the one title... and so many in the database like that Not sure I can fight it without something strong to back me up.

Did they respond to PM? What is their reasoning?

They sound like malicious users to me who should probably be banned from contributing. But since it seems Invelos staff has abandoned the users I guess we are on our own.

Holy crap where did you learn how to use all those forum tags like that.

I believe that is the work of the Tradings Poster plugin.

The thing is... it isn't always an edition just because the word Collection is there. And I believe in this case the title is The Critters Collection.

As I said, I understand where you are coming from, but I can also see where the other side is coming from.  I mean, 'The Critters Collection' sure sounds like a collection of films featuring critters. 

looks like a lot are like this 4 Film Favorites:whatever collection



























These are a few. 

Disagree;
Title: 4 Films Collection
Edition: Whatever collection

Agree
Title: 4 Films Collection:Whatever Collection

Could live with (but prefer option above)
Title:Whatever Collection
Edition:4 Films Collection

The last time this came up, earlier this year, the consensus of the few that replied was all in the title field, no edition.

In that topic I proposed the title of each film in the title field and the "4 Films Favorites: Whatever Collection" part in the edition field, assuming that all the films were on one disc. That isn't the case so I'm in for:

Title: Whatever Collection
Edition: 4 Film Favorites

This for just one simple reason, the 'Whatever Collection' part is referring to the actual content of the set and '4 Film Favorites' part is the name of a complete collection of film collections. As a consensus  I could live with:

Title: 4 Film Favorites: Whatever Collection
Edition: -

Wrong:

Title: 4 Film Favorites
Edition: Whatever Collection

Another argument for putting everything in the title field is that you can't search for editions with title search (I think).

I have six of these sets.  I have them all set up as such (using one as example):

Title:  4 Film Favorites: Classic Horse Films
Edition: 

If we're going to change that, I wouldn't mind the option of:

Title:  Classic Horse Films
Edition:  4 Film Favorites

But anything else seems ludicrous.
