Contributions can be approved (and do) even when there is an obvious error in the contribution.

Ken/Gerri have stated as much somewhere here in the forum more than once. It's up to the screener to decide whether or not the added good information in the contribution outweighs the bad, and whether it gets declined or approved.

I'm right there with ya.

Kat is correct.  When I am the sole, or one of only a few 'nos' among many yes votes, I make a note of the profile and error so that I can come back and fix it.

Instead, I'll just lock my profiles and move on.  I'm not going to fight the screeners.

Tracking my DVDs is fun.  The contribution/voting process is not.  I guess I'll join the ever growing contingent that just minds his/her own db and leaves the online for others to worry about.  (Not that I'm a heavy contributor or voter anyway...)

In this case the contributions added complete cast and crew to the (thus far empty) profiles of movies in a box set.

There was a single point of disagreement in a few of the movies, and I agree that the fact that the screeners allowed the contributions does not decide on that issue. See next post.

Point of disagreement was to decide between DoP and Cinematographer, where the actual credit was different and thus there would have been interpretation either way.

That's all? A disagreement over whether "Photographed by" results in "Cinematographer" or "Director of Photography"? And that turned into this "Does anyone at Invelos really care about the correctness of the online database?" complaint? 

Next time, I'll read the rules.

When you do receive "No" votes in your contributions you may wish to give them some consideration, as the people voting are likely trying to help you to make a better contribution, and not just block you from contributing.

And your comments here are misleading, as you not only applied the credit of DoP for a "Photographed by" credit, but you also applied a Make-up Effects credit to a crew member credited as "Makeup by".  Since you obviously were aware of the "No" votes and chose to do nothing about them when you had the chance, it seems a bit odd to me that you've come into this thread to downplay your errors when I hadn't mentioned you at all.

These may be minor errors, but when you were notified you did nothing.  The screeners were notified and did nothing.  Please tell me again just why I should continue to vote on contributions.

Many contributors, especially new contributors, do not monitor their submissions. Some because they are not interested, many because they simply don't know that they can do this. That's why I'd like to see an E-Mail notification when a "No" comes in for a contribution.
I'm not sure if Hans belongs to any of these two groups, or if he simply chose to ignore the "No"-votes. The important thing is that if you want to make sure a "No" gets noticed, you better send a PM first. If there's no reaction you still have time to vote "No".
