Hello.



If I have previously written in the above picture kind, updated profiles this particular below piece of text


If there is something in the profile that needs fixing, please tell me so that it is easier for me to fix it.


So Why are these rejected again and again multiple times. Without being given information to me, that what is wrong with the profiles, so how could I even correct the informations, when I don't know the reason for the rejections ?

You need to more specific about what you are correcting.

If you have noticed a problem in the credits, "Cast & Crew taken from closing credits of the film" would be good. (If you have done so, of course.)

If you have added the correct Overview from the cover, say so: "Actual Overview as found on cover", for example.

If you have correct the Country of Origin, say so etc.

I hope this helps.

You are expected to have read and followed the contribution rules. Be as specific as possible as to why you are making the changes and state sources.

The reviewer most likely does not have the disc you are making changes to, therefore can't tell you what need fixed. "They" are relying on you to document your changes and why you are making them. (for example, if you change the rating or rating detail, state the source of the change)

I the instance of the Avatar profile, you're contributing images that are about 1/2 the size of the current profile's images. Why? The current ones are fine. You also didn't "cut off any excess material", you just shrunk the current images. When that's the only change you're contributing, of course it will get declined because you're shrinking the current images by 1/2! And as Greyhulk said, specify the source of your data (not images) changes. From the disc/disc credits, back cover for overview, etc.

For Happy Feet, you added birth years but didn't specify where they came from (the accepted BY thread is the right answer).
My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it!

Here is the link for the example white chicks covers, why i have been cutting excess material from cover pictures, background is intentionally gray so that the excess material stand out better.

Looking at the White Chicks contribution.

I only see new covers, no data is contributed (probably you forgot to check the checkboxes).

For the covers. The new front cover seems to be cropped a bit better, however the image size must be at least as large as the existing online cover (500x707) according the rules and your front cover (496x697) is smaller. Same goes for the back cover. So at the end the new covers are not better.

My suggestion is to make new scans from both covers. So you can match the image size and at the same time you can improve the resolution as well.

As said, there's no data contributed, but looking at the notes

-Maybe you can specify the SRP bit more with a source.
-Media company is probably ok
-Description must match the back cover, only if that's missing you can write your own version.
-Cast & Crew: It looks like it's not specific enough. Copy them from an approved profile and name the EAN from that profile or take them from the disc credits. If you change a common name and/or add a birth year you can link to the specific post for that common name/birth year.
