with all this discussion...

I am not sure how the edition field would really work with box sets.

Unless we have 

"Dirty harry Collection"

"Dirty harry Collection (The Directors Cuts)"

Can all these "Collections" and "Double Features" really be applied to an edition field for a box set?

Just asking...

Title: Batman Collection

But it has all the titles... no different then The Parent Trap. You are basing your opinion on one word being present Collection (or similar I am sure). I don't believe it matters if the word collection is there or not.

But it does matter.  It makes all the difference.  It tells you that the release in question is a collection of movies and not just a single movie.  The title "The Parent Trap" would indicate to almost anybody that the release in question is the single movie "The Parent Trap".  It's just simple English!

This is not supported by the Rules... only by a personal preference. Unless you can show me where it tells us to do this in the rules of course. I couldn't find it.

Fine.  But common sense tells me that the title "The Parent Trap" for a release that contains two movies just isn't right.  I'm through.

Common sense tells me to do everything per Rules No matter if I agree with the info I am submitting or not. In the case of The Parent Trap... going strictly by the title rules and the edition Rules it should be how I submitted... at least for the online profile.

All I can go by the rules and the front cover. What is "useful" don't come into it when I make a contribution.

I think I would tend

"Garfield 2 Movie Collection"  All title, no edition

Agreed

Then can we also agree

"The Parent Trap 2 Movie Collection"  all title, no edition (same-same)

Like I said, that would definitely be better than:

Title: The Parent Trap
Edition: 2-Movie Collection

Where do the Rules define what on the front cover is actually part of the title; or the edition field?

Sorry for the interruption.

While there has been disagreements and some of it might have a bit of snarkiness to it no one has resorted to name calling and/or other questionable posts.  I've gone back and forth on the subject and am still not sure how I feel on the debate because I can see both sides.

You have to use your judgment on what the title is just like any and all releases. Which I did per front cover... backed up my opinion with the spine (note: The title is not coming from the spine... it just helped me to decide).

As for the Edition...

Rules Quote:

Quote:

Edition
The Edition field is for distinguishing between DVDs, and for indicating special versions and collections (for example The Criterion Collection, Widescreen, Full-Screen Edition, Director's Cut). It's usually safe to use one of the built-in selections if appropriate. If you are using a non-standard description, take it from the DVD box, and ensure it will help distinguish between different releases of the same title.

Do not enter media types (such as "Blu-Ray + DVD + Digital Copy") into the edition or title field.

See what I put in bold... indicating Collections is to be put in the Edition field.

There is no clarification in the Boxset Rules. So boxsets is no different.

And then at the beginning of the Rules it says...

Quote:
These rules apply to all kinds of profiles, but there are two special cases where the rules need clarifications. Where you see the icons shown below, refer to the special instructions at the end of this document. These are titled Movie Box sets and TV Series on DVD.
Box sets containing more than one film
TV Series on DVD

Note: The standard rules do apply for these special cases; the sections clarify specific ways the rules apply to box sets and television series on DVD.

Notice the last line I put in bold... it says the standard rules still do apply in these cases.

I agree... I seen no problem with any of the posts.

Yes it has been civil,  but it's also bordering on endless...
