...the responsible persons don't stop to mess around with contributions and even DECLINE fresh(!) submissions of movies.

In general, for every contribution of my bought movies, i am using data of the dvd itself, the dvd cover and the homepage of the distributor.  All scans are my own work.

So i added a few movies in the past "Tekken DVD, Roseanne Komplett-Box DVD etc." and a few submissions were declined with this reason:
"Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were non-specific. Please specify the exact source for your changes. (e.g. "Credits from film end credit list", "Previous version UPC#1111111111")"

I want to say, that i received this message after contributing a totally new profile!  And of course i had explained the source of my informations.

The most annoying thing is: i am collectiong VERY CAREFULLY informations of my OWNED dvds, contribute this data (a few of them will in general be declined) and get after a profile refresh wrong/bad data.

If this behaviour will not change in the future, i will not contribute any profile anymore and don't download any profile refresh.  I will then use DVD Profiler as standalone offline version.

Thank you for reading my post.

You should especially note where you did take the cast and crew info from. Did you check the credits? Or did you copy them from another profile or from a website?

I got that same decline notice once... it was because I told them I took cast and crew from another profile... but I forgot to put the UPC number of the profile I took them from.

So I just resubmitted it... this time noting the UPC number of the profile I used... and it was approved within minutes (New Submission).

Quoting ShiningDragon's Contribution Note:
Quote:
Titel gemäß DVD Box modifiziert
Regionscode auf "2" gesetzt (diese Box ist NICHT regionsfree)
Box Sets hinzugefügt (jene werden auch zur Prüfung hochgeladen)

Sämtliche Quellen:
DVD Box und http://www.epguides.de/roseanne.htm (die Episodenangaben der Box Sets sind sehr oft fehlerhaft)

Maybe you should try to write your contribution notes in english?

Apparently, without knowledge of your notes, it sounds like you were not detailed enough for the screeners.

I have found that, with a little of thought to detail (not overly so), but trying to cover the majority of sections with a comment

I.E

Cast and crew from opening/closing credits
Disc info via DVD Profiler
Verified Audio/subtitles with PowerDVD
Original Cover Scans

Or

Copied from previously accepted profile (UPC....)
Original scans

Most of the time, the screeners will accept the contribution.

I am sorry that you feel disheartened with the software, but wish you would try anew with a little more thought.

Charlie

This is what I got from Google Translate...

Quote:
Title modified according DVD Box
Region code to "2" (this box is NOT region free)
Box Sets added (those are also uploaded to the test)

All sources:
DVD Box and http://www.epguides.de/roseanne.htm (the episode detail of the box sets are often faulty)


If he added cast and crew he didn't say where the cast a crew came from... depending on how much cast and crew he added. If he is taking cast and crew from the box... then that in itself is the wrong place per rules.

The decline note tells what is wrong... you need to be more specific in your notes.. What I do is list all the changes I make... and for each change tell them exactly where I got that info from... as well as what tools I used if needed.

It's Roseanne: Die Komplett-Box
886973-801697

On this profile he just added: Title, Region and Box Set.
And It's still pending.

Rest of the Roseanne profiles is approved. so I don't understand why he is saying that some of them is declined.

I am not so sure.  If they are "New" submissions we would not see them, and would only see declined submissions if we knew which they were.  It would help is he would give us further info.

The Roseanne child profiles was new and got approved.
The main roseanne profile is still pending.

Tekken is also a new profile and was declined.
Quoting ShiningDragon's Contribution Note:
Quote:
sources:
DVD cover
www.splendid-film.de

And it's a complete profile.
So it was correctly declined.
