| | Posted: | | | | If you look at my Wizard of Oz 85th Anniversary contribution, you will notice that the main profile was declined, while the combo disc part of the box set was released. WTF?
It seems that the main profile was declined because there are uncredited cast entries. My reference for that cast list was from a profile that was approved. Yet the person who said no seems to not like the idea that the referenced profile had no citations either. Isn't it a little late to complain about that?
Yet, the combo contribution was released with the exact same cast list.
Why bother doing contributions when hit with these contradictions? I was going to update the Wizard of Oz 75th Anniversary 3D release, but I'm thinking... why bother! | | | Mr Video Productions

| | Posted: | | | | It's possible that the person who voted 'No' doesn't have the combo disc in their collection so was unable to vote on it. As to the contradictions, all Uncredited cast must be documented. Copying from an existing profile does not negate that requirement. If the profile you copied from didn't have any citations, then the uncredited cast should have been left out...unless you verified them yourself.
While the information in the referenced profile may be correct, without documentation, there is no way to know so I would consider it bad data and would not propagate that data into new profiles. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | The point is... if the profile was approved, I can only assume that the required citation was provided when the contribution was presented. I should not have to redo the work that was supposedly already done. If it wasn't, it should never have been approved in the first place.
I had no way of knowing that the approved reference probably should never have been approved. So, I'm punished for someone else's mistake?
The combo disc was a new profile contribution, so it wouldn't have been in anyone's collection... sort-of. The 85th Anniversary profile is part of the database and the BD is part of that release, but I separated it out to make it a combo for the main profile. That said, the contribution had the same cast list submitted. So, it too had the un-credited cast entries, but it was released. Hence my confusion. | | | Mr Video Productions

Rules may have changed since the contribution was accepted, or maybe the screener made a mistake. Bad data should not be accepted just because the same data had been accepted before. Quote:

It just tells you that the data doesn't follow the (current) rules. Your options are either to fix it and recontribute, or just let it go. That's up to you. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.
