If you make changes to one section, it is your responsibility to make sure that you made the entire section follow the rules or you will get a no vote.


On the whole I agree with this too; IMO with something like an overview you can't part fix and part leave it and expect Yes votes because you end up contributing something incorrect.


I agree for overview, but what about crew? Not everybody is interested in locating the caterer and gophers, I usually stick to the director and artistic contributors (composer, writers). Also for cast, sometimes the list is endless with "watchman #16" etcetera.

If somebody doesn't want to do, for example, the sound crew (which can be a pain) then as long as they note in the contributions notes that haven't haven't done the full crew I wouldn't vote no.

BTW folks, a large amount of your profiles will be deleted if you guys sit back and allow this divider trash to continue. Dividers are one of the worst ideas to come along and the way Skip is attempting to use them, it will only get worse. We are losing data and a lot of it.


Agreed, like the 'as credited'  function the use for these has not been set out in the rules, so why on earth are people using them as a reason to delete data?

It was exactly the same with the mad rush to remove TV crew data we saw in 2.5, but at least that had a reason in the rules (even if it was a bizarre rule).

Thankfully I haven't seen any of this with the titles I own yet.

I don't think Skip should be forced to make corrections he doesn't want to, as long as he didn't make the errors himself in the first place. In my opinion, the appropriate thing to do would be to vote yes, and note that he could have changed the rest of the italics too. I don't think a 'no' vote in this case is valid. (Since Skip didn't introduce the error). So I agree with Rho on this.

More recriminations, Hal. you just can't resist. but since you said it who is the one infdividula who does more work than anybody else, you think there just MIGHT be a connection.


Actually you aren't even close to being the one who does the most, you just brag about everything you do.

For example the is a contributor who is constantly submitting profiles, yet I have never heard him brag.

The stats speak for themselves.

I collect if you would bother to read and comprehend things before trying to just jump in.

The existing data includes automated Contributions that were made when Invelos craked , so at this time they are irrelevant. Get back to us in a year.

Some people just have to try.

You saved me from typing my thoughts, I agree exactly.  As long as a change results in no incorrect data added, or correct data lost, I can't see justifying a "no" vote. The goal is to move inexorably towards a perfect database, and anything that moves it in that direction should be approved. If you have better data, please convey it. Everything else is histrionics.
