Hi... it is fine to contribute... but you must be sure your contribution follows the RULES for the online database... and be sure you source all the information that you add. What was the reasons listed for the declines? there is usually a reason.

Like the others said, just make sure you follow the rules and if you have any questions, let us know. I've been contributing about 4 years (including the old program) now and I still have the occasional question or I even sometimes double check myself with the rules, just to be on the safe side. Just don't be afraid to ask us for help.

Did the cast and crew come from the DVD itself? If they did, when you submit you contribution just mention they came from the movie credits. Now if they came from a 3rd party source like IMDB, those cannot be contributed. Did anyone vote for your contributions? If someone did, I usually look at the no votes and try to figure out how I can fix it and re-submit.

Reinforcing what Pete said about (uncredited) data, sourcing does not mean using IMDb or any other third party source, it largely means providing specifics as to where the (uncredited) can be found, like a time stamp.

My best advice to you as a newbie is to proceed very slowly, don't try and bite off huge chunks at one time. There are also those of us who will try and assist you if ask, either in the forums or via PM.

Think i got it now    Thanks everyone for your help. I really appreciate it 
And if I get anymore problems i'll write here again or pm you.

Kind regards from dkgirl.

If indeed - as you're supposed to do - you have taken your cast and crew credits from the actual film's credits themselves rather than some external source, then probably your problems have more to do with your contribution NOTES than with your contribution itself.

Knowing how to write contribution notes is increasingly becoming equally important as knowing what to contribute when it comes to getting your contributions accepted. Here's an example of contribution notes I submitted for a recent new contribution that was accepted without problems.

New contribution: child profile. Almost all data from disc. Cast and Crew for the first film from the opening and end credits. Role names collected from http://movies.nytimes.com/; http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/ and IMDb. Second film contains no credits. Running time, video format and audio track verified using PowerDVD. Region and layer info verified using DVDInfoPro. Release date from parent profile UPC 826831070124.

As long as you're relatively unexperienced in this game, I'd recommend not submitting uncredited cast. Just enter what you see on screen in the film's credits.

Wish you good luck and please feel free to come back in case of any further difficulties.
