I don't see the problem.  If you didn't provide documentation, then your contribution should have been declined.  Simply saying it is so, doesn't help.

If you looked it up, provide the links to that information in your notes.  I am sorry, but it is unreasoable for you to expect that Invelos is just going to take your word for it.

and this is why people don't hit the contribute button.

Even If I was wrong about Michael "Trevor" Jackson, and I'm not, I am clearly not as wrong as the current Invelos DB regarding Michael Jackson and TPB


Bottom lline it is easier to just fix the local than go thru the process.  Wonder how the process worked when
was approved?

This does not sound like reason #3,761 or #3,762, it's more like reason #1.

Your documentation means NOTHING here. Was it included in your Contributions. Your feigned annoyance is annoying in and of itself.

Skip

Bottom line:

Contribution was correct, but you failed to provide enough information for the screeners to make an educated decision. They can't be expected to do all the research themselves for each respective contribution made. The documentation serves 2 purposes, for the screeners as mentioned above and as well as helping future contributers see what you have done and possibly even spread said Birth Year and broken connection to other profiles.

So you have a choice to make. You either want to contribute and help the community and program out by doing so. This includes doing some extra work that you may or may not feel is necessary, but it is part of the process. The world is full of hurdles if you want to help others and this case is no different.

Or like others have said, the program is made in such a way that people are able to do as much work as they want and keep it local if they'd rather not go through the trouble. So while I think I speak for most people when I say I hope you reconsider and continue contributing, no one can give you a hard time for not doing so. Use the program how you see fit. 

To be clear, I find the linking system really quite frustrating and have since given up on trying to sift through my collection's linking in hopes that Ken will fix it soon...so I really do feel your pain. Someday I might pick it back up, but I really do hope Ken has a change on the horizon.

This is your point of view. I know people who spend hours to share data with others but do not want anymore to work with a tyrannical blind system that generates only false data. If all this work was to have correct data in the dabase, I would understand. To have "per the rules" crap is not worth the time spent to contribute.

I am sorry but, that is just your point of view and, in my opinion, just another excuse.  This isn't our database.  If we want to contribute, we have to follow the rules.  If we don't want to follow the rules, then we don't get to contribute.  I am sorry, but that is not a hard concept to grasp.  I, like a lot of other contributors, enter data based on the rules, contribute it, then modify that data to suit our needs.  Does it take a little extra work?  Yes, but, again in my opinion, it's the least I can do.

If you don't want to do that, that' fine but...what is it you said to me?  Oh yea..."Not really in dvdprofiler spirit... but of course everyone may do what he wants..."
