I'll take 99% correct. Would rather have to fix 1 or 2 things in a profile than 10-20.

My thoughts exactly.

The contributor has fixed much more than he has 'broke'.

I always use no votes for situations like this myself. I do this for two reasons. First because not everyone one looks at their votes if they get only yes votes. I know this for a fact as I am usually like this and others in the forum has said the same thing. Another reason is it is sure to grab the attention of not only the  contributor but also the screeners. This way I am sure it is at least looked at and the screener can go from there if they feel it is trivial enough to let through anyway fine. If it is something they feel is reason enough to decline that is OK by me too.

But the downside to this (for me) are the blind voters. You know, the people who vote "Yes" without looking, trusting the submission... but then you get a single "No" vote, and instead of it being 20-2 becuase another person verified which should grab your attention, it ends up 20-25 with nothing more than, "Agree with ____" as the reason. Of my few submissions, I've had two declined for reasons very similar to Sam's situation and your response which also tells me that the screeners had read the votes and likely just accepted the popular one.


The acceptance process is no less confusing than the rules: new profiles riddled with errors get accepted because it's more important to have new entries in the database, but a full corrected submission except for two or three characters in the overview will likely not because "it's not correct." The value of a submission is a subjective one, though I think that the screeners choose to err on the side of caution with the assumption that if it is declined it would be resubmitted. But Sam is not the first person i have heard say, "I changed everything in my database; I'm not changing it back just to resubmit."

I think that they should be accepted with a note added by the screener of what minor error was notably overlooked to allow the submissions to be accepted.

you see this alot with pre-release submissions and the older profiles that are updated.
Alot of people don't track every crew role or group dividers or even like me add crew.
But I check my submissions every time I'm on site (Usually 6 or 7 times a day) (Yes,no and PM). But after I finish the audit for my local database, lock and move it to my profiled category, If I made numerous changes I'll let it ride, pull it but it's to late for a re-submit. If I only have a few things dif. that I've added I'll remove them and re-submit.

Would now those that voted "No" please correct their votes.

To what?  I can't make it more No than i already did.

It's a proportional font with a space that looks smaller than it is because of the 'w'.

Put a measure tape onto your screen if you don't believe your eyes:
The space between the "d" the ® and the "w" exactly matches the space between all the other letters in a word and is (almost) exactly one third of the space that a blank as between the "s" (from "winners") and the "K" (from "Kevin") got.

So obviously no space.
EDIT: At least not as long as you don't insist that there should be a blank space between every single letter of a word.
"Proportional Font"

That's supposed to be/represent a ®?

It looks more like a non-character spec (like the one under the "w" -- or is that a dot of an "i" instead? I don't have the cover.)

Maybe that's why they are different. Neither was meant to be a character and someone made an error not including the registration mark.

It isn't very often that I vote "no" and I usually send the person a pm first. I can't remember a time in which a pm I sent was ignored.

If the situation was something so minor, I might even vote "yes" w/ a note highlighting the small change they might have missed. I would submit that change later if needed.

In this situation, thanks to the picture supplied by Lewis_Prothero, I would say the "no" votes are incorrect.

In any case, the only times I take a "no" voter personally is if the added comments are rude or inflammatory. Otherwise I find them to be a helpful tool in making the database more accurate.

For something really icky picky like that, I would vote YES but I would mention it in my vote commentary. If there's one extra space that gets added to the overview, that doesn't weigh against all the good that is added and corrected.

So I would mention it but in a Yes vote
