Downloaded the new version today, and saw, that there is an Entry for:
a) Warner Home Video Gemany (missing "r")
also there is
b) Warner Home Video Germany

a) is wrong, seems a typo from someone.
Could someone fix this in the Backend or how is this to handle?


Edit: i added a lot of the Ocean`S Box (11,12,13) DVD; HD-DVD and got NO VOtes:
Because i used the name from the Back CoveR:
Warner Home Video Germany

Comment for no: No locaclity:

From the Contrib Rules:
Enter the DVD publishing company which is usually found (dated with the year of the DVD release) on the back of the box.
--

I didn`t enter a new name for the Publishing Company, i used the one already provided in the List! (and there is also Warner UK listed)
-> i followed the Rules.
so, could someone clean up the List for Publisher without Localatis?
Or explain the Rules better?

This Program starts to get a nightmare for which i will shortly no longer contribute, if this rules are getting more and more crazy.



regards
michael

The new rules state to omit the country suffixes for distribution companies, so you should leave out "Germany" and just enter "Warner Home Video".

Quote:
Studios
List the Studios in the following priority.
  • Theatrical Release Studio(s)
  • Production Company(s)


  • Enter the DVD publishing company which is usually found (dated with the year of the DVD release) on the back of the box. If the DVD Publishing company isn't located on the box or packaging, take the DVD publisher from the disc's credits.

    Do not abbreviate Studio names. e.g, use Universal Pictures not just Universal; The Criterion Collection rather than Criterion or Criterion Collection; Walt Disney Pictures not just Disney or Disney DVD. Exception: If the studio name is too long to fit, use standard abbreviation rules.

    Omit company suffixes such as LLC, Ltd., Inc.

    Omit any locality-specific suffix. e.g. Enter Paramount Home Entertainment, not Paramount Home Entertainment (UK)

    There is further information about correct names for studios, and the opportunity to ask questions if unsure, in the Contributions forum.
    Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted. Please include the sources for your changes in the contribution notes, especially for cast and crew additions.

    ok,
    this is really easy to overlook, so it should be BOLD.
    I think this is a stupid change to not give the Country information, when Warner printed it as Warner Home Entertainment Germany.
    Dont know when, who where decided this, but this b******t.
    This was decided before the New Version was released, so i expected the Company (Invelos)
    should clean up the Publisher list, before release this with this errors.

    Warner home E. in Germany is not the same as in the UK or USA.
    So why is this different for the Studio and the Publisher??
    again, rules are getting stupi and time wasting.

    You still have the locality showing Germany, so it is not necessary to have Germany in the studio name, since only Warner Home Video Germany and not Warner Home Video UK nor Warner Home Video USA release in locality Germany.

    But the Publisher WHV in this Case printes the Country as part of the Name on the Cover.
    So that should be the correct Entry, intependend from the Country of Origin.
    In some Cases maybe WHV Germany could also be the Publisher for BeNeLux, and then the Publisher is not the same as the Country of the Release..

    The new release only provided updated/upgraded software.  Since the database is user-generated it is up to users to correct data in the profiles, including the publisher/studios list.
