I have got many no votes to my contributions just because I have not filled country of origin. In contribution rules I can'n find anything that says this is an obligatory field. And what is worse, this field can't be use with Finnish translation, because it causes "List index out of bounds (-1)" error if country names are translated.

Contributions are voted only when there is something to compare them with.
Probably among other I have voted "no" with a reason "country of origin missing", because there is another, earlier contribution, where the country IS stated.

I second tipi's comment: among others I have voted "NO" with a reason "country of origin missing", because there is earlier contribution where the information is stated. I haven't tried Finnish translation of DVDP 3.0 yet, because it is a known thing that the first translations are usually full of errors.

When there finally is field for country of origin I see no reason not to use that. Nor strip it away when somebody has contributed the profile with the country of origin -information.

By the way, slightly offtopic: when contributing Finnish profiles, please try to check that SRP is at least in correct currency. There are at the moment dozens of Finnish profiles contributed with SRP in US$ and some of those are replacing the profiles with the correct SRP information. It is somewhat frustrating to vote NO because of incorrect SRP when profile is otherwise correct.

Yes, current translation is unusable but I am updating it. Still much to do, and of course we also need updated version of DVDP.
