Can't be a problem: DVD was released in Feb 2007. Can't see who did submitted this (no uploading since 1300 GMT).

Yes, it does matter.  If the stuff is undocumented, AND is a close match -- both conditions of which are true in this case -- it can be removed, per the rules, correct or not.

Correct! One small detail though: it is not per the rules but according to two statements from Ken in the forum.

Their logic while understandable is completely illogical.

There is no onus on you to do this Enry, but I agree with my UK friend that it would be of great service to all other users if you did a quick check of the actors being removed, as some of the data could be accurate and valuable to other users.
cheers

Well stated.

Very simple answer, Enry. The data was never properly documented and slipped past the screeners. The data should be removed or docyumented.

It may be a simple answer, but it is also YOUR answer.  Ken's answer was a tad different.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

You are correct, it 'can be removed'.  That is, however, quite different than 'should be removed.

The point I'm trying to make is that if I know the data is correct I won't remove it just because it matches the IMDB and it is undocumented. By the same token I won't remove data if I am not convinced that it is incorrect even tho it matches IMDB and is undocumented. I would at least try to make an attempt at verifying it so I don't look like an ass by removing correct data. That was my advice to to the original poster and someone else gave him the same advice and he seems to agree. You're milage may vary Rifter.

Let me also add this. If someone was to remove this data and one voter or maybe even more voters started voting 'no' because they actually did some research or knew some or all of this data to be correct, they would be perfectly within their right to vote 'no'. I am also quite convinced that this sort of submission would be declined if it could be documented that the data is correct. I have actually witnessed this myself so just saying the data is undocumented and matches IMDB may not be enough to get it removed.

I used to think you knew a lot about database design until a couple of days ago when the quotes around title rule came into effect. Apperently somebody smarter than you who knows more about database design decided that the quotes are not needed. This person apperently feels that a database should be user friendly...something you have yet to figure out. Every time you post now it makes me think of that and I smirk and create a mental picture of all the egg on your face from that whole affair.

No, they wouldn't be right to vote NO.  If the rules say undocumented data can be removed, and data that is close to verbatim on IMDB can be removed, then to vote no is clearly a violation of the rules.  Voting NO against a legal procedure is demonstrably a violation of the rules, and everybody knows that.

To be fair, that is completely your fault.   While skipnet50 uses this word a lot, none of his posts indicate that he knows something about it - I'm not even sure, if he knows what the word itself means.

Except the rules don't say any of that.  Ken made a statement to clarify 'when' it was o.k. to remove uncredited cast.  He made no mention of how people should vote in those cases.  Since removal is not required, people can vote whichever way they wish...just like they can on image quality...and let the screeners decide the outcome.

Yes they would and if the evidence was convincing enough such a contribution would be declined I'm sure.

These are the two Italian entries in DVDP 2.5 & 3.0. Also the UK (3) and IMDB data (4). I personally would hate to lose this valuable data. Maybe it's a good idea to add them to all the R1 versions of this movie (US & Canada). There are 10 such items but none of them has these valuable data. Italian? Yes, key is of course "italian version of db entry" in the UK version. Although declined by the Screeners. But Screeners do strange things now and then.

It's of no value if it is NOT documented. Looks to me like some users need to learn to follow the Rules.

Hey, I have an idea. Why don't those who think it so valuable and that because it got into the databse under false pretenses, get to work and document the data. I could make a list of users to work on this project and if you split it up among you, it wouldn't take long to get it done. For some of you that would actually represent of REAL Contribution for the rest of us.
