So I have this version of 1995 Babe and it is 'propulated' thru the Invelos filters that both the main stars of this film is marked with the BY's .. So after contributing the overview corrections and the COO/ I then put in the BY's:
CoO added / overview corrections / YoB added as per various web sites i.e. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Harris_(actress) 1935 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Cromwell 1940 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Miller_(filmmaker) 1945

Then it gets ( after 8 days &  two yes votes )  declined today with notes reading:
Please use birth years only to distinguish between otherwise identical cast and crew. New birth year submissions must be documented.

HUH??  all the cast names are different than each other and the two main stars were documented in my notes. without using IMDB ..
Do I have to list all the various web sites?  or can the screeners themselves put two and two together and figure out it out??
In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

I think the part bolded by me is the question.

By what you posted here, you did not prove a need for the BY's just where to find the BY's of the actors in question.

I think (my observation), they probably want something like

BY for actress A to distinguish from actress B of the same name

BY's documented at here "URL a" " URL b" etc...

If I remember correctly Gerri has stated before to list some of the movies for each version of the name to help show the birth year is needed.

Indeed. When I had one declined, I was told to put the evidence in the notes. Having links with the evidence wasn't enough.

You have to list the documentation for the BY as well as documentation for the need.  That means you have to list information for the person getting the BY as well as the person you are distinguishing them from...basically, what you would put in the BY thread.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

All the BY's the OP wants to add are, i believe, approved and documented in the BY thread.  I have never had a problem simply referencing the correct message in that thread. (And the new purple "link" message icon makes it even easier by providing the message specific address).

If i'm adding BYs for the first time then i add as much detail (links proving the BY, sample films for each) as i can.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

I looked for that BY thread .. how far back shoudl I look..?  Can you send a link ..?
If I find that Barbara Harris, James Cromwell, and George Miller are already in the 'Thread' ,, do I use that for documentation??

It's pinned to the top of the contribution forum (2nd thread as i write).

Go to page one and search the indices.  The Martian does his best to keep them up to date...and    to him for that.
