I have no idea how the title is formatted incorrectly.  It would be nice if the website would explain the error.

The disc is 883904140917 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

I follow the correct rules when it comes to database listings of artists and titles.  And that is that the leady "The" is not placed there, even if it is correctly placed in a report.  The correct way to list the above title is Good, the Bad and the Ugly, The

Yes, this seems to violate the rule for titles, but the rule doesn't really say one way or the other.  Since it is my database, I can enter it any way I want.

That isn't the issue here.  I wasn't going to submit that as the change.  The change is with the listed region coding.

If the rejection is because I place the "The" at the end of the title, I am at a complete loss as I contributed some minor correction to The Tudors, which I had changed to Tudors, The in my database and the website let me check the changes I wanted to contribute.  I uncheked Title, as I knew I would get flak for moving the "The".  I submitted changes to two of the three available titles.

Yet, for some reason, I'm flatly refused the ability to not contribute the title as a change, while I was offered said title change for the other Blu-rays.

If I was refused the ability to contribute because of the "The", why was I able to do so with the other two Blu-rays?

The contributor should be allowed to get to the contribution submit page.  At that point the ability to contribute the title should not be available and the reason why given.  But, at least the other changes that are legit should be allowed.  At that point, the user can either contribute or leave the web page.

To further clarify what Ace said. users sued to be able to impact the Sortiing of title. This became a nightmare  because users were desirous of imposing their own particular sorting upon the Online and every other user in the world without regard to others. For example, we had users who wanted to sort all their James Bond titles  together, this is rational for them to do, but from the viewpoint of the Online, YOU aren't going to search for James Bond 04, you are going to look for Thunderball. Ken first tried to make a statement that Sort=Title, unfortunately this did not stop the "abuse", so finally Ken had to decide that Sort would become a personal option for each and every user, and that the sorting of the Online would be handled by Invelos according to whatever parameters they choose. So, you can do what you wish locally, you cannot affect the sorting of the title in the online. it sounds tome like that is what you were trying to do.

Quite the contrary.  Since I knew that my personal way for listing the title does not jive with the online format, I wasn't trying to contribute a title change.  The change is actually to the region coding, on line as none, but packaged as A.

I was able to do that with The Tudors.  Even though I had changed the title, I was shown the web page and given the ability to not select title for contribution.  Not so with this disc.

The ability to have a separate sort title from the displayed title is a major plus for DVDP.  Without it, the sorts would never be correct for multi-season TV series that spell out the season. as that lists them out-of order.

DVDP really, really and I mean really, needs a real manual in PDF form.  Having the ability to sit back and read a manual as to what DVDP can do would save a lot of time from posting some silly questions.  Or in this case, manipulating titles when there is a facility to do what I desired, but didn't know it.  My crystal ball is in the shop and has been so for multiple decades. 

Problem found.

The website detection software didn't like my moving of "The" from the beginning to the end.  A better explanation would have been nice.

It seems that I found a loophole in the detection.  If you look at my above three examples for The Tudors, I'm guessing that if I would have had the DVDP version as my title, it too would have been refused.  But, because I moved the "The"  within the title string, it got accepted, even though it too violates the rules.

Learned more about how DVDP works and can be configured tonight.

Who did they sue?

And FYI, it appears the packaging is incorrect in calling the disc Region A.  Previously in the contribution history it was changed to Region Free (http://movietyme.blogspot.com/2009/05/good-bad-ugly-blu-ray-region-free.html).
And i found another link syaing the same thing: http://www.blurayregioncodes.com/index.php?region=a

tweeter is absolutely right here, the disc is region free and you obviously didn't bother reading the previous notes before contributing. 

The region code is important data for us non US users (at least the ones without a region free player). Don't simply overwrite the profile entry based on the package info!

All of these places are based on someone's "word" about what the region is set to.

While I can understand that, I doubt it would be as popular as it is if it wasn't reliable. To date, I've not had any issues with any titles I've bought outside of my region being incorrect.
