Then what was wrong with my first contribution ? It reads as follows;

[i]source 3388330043100

- front & back cover ( own scan )[/i]

only thing to make it a bit more clearer was i needed to add UPC or EAN: so like this;


Source for what data? This was an initial contribution and you gave same UPC as a source which you are contributing. Where did you take Cast & Crew, running time etc. from covers or from the disc? In my eyes decline for this was completely understandable.

Quote:
I remedied this in my second attempt

[i]- copy from EAN:3388330043100
- front & back cover ( own scan )[/i]

now tell me what was wrong with the second attempt ??


Same thing as with the first attempt. Your contribution notes doesn't make much sense.

Why is it that you didn't ask the community first, before you came here to claim that the screeners are to stupid to recognize an incorrect EAN (which obviously they did the first two times)?

Sorry, but did you ever check the link StefaanD gave in his first post?

I did, and I still don't know where did he take the Cast & Crew for example. The only thing here which needs explaining is why was the third attempt accepted? It should have been declined as well as the two before.

Maybe I missed it somewhere but where are you seeing he submitted cast and crew?

I previewed the profile from online db and it has partial Crew and (full?) Cast.

Thanks. I was just going to try that again as the profile wasn't available earlier.

Yes, you did and you judged by facts. On the other hand it seems Lewis is just judging by assumption.

Not quite,
I'm judging on the statements given in the uncorrected OP as they can still be read in the second post of this thread.

After the statement "3rd attempt for this title, i even used the wrong UPC ( the one from Moulin Rouge! digibook )" I saw no reason anymore to check what was actually contributed. Since the fault seemed quite obvious.
Although it's not fine, for a new contributor this fault is excusable.

The problem arose when another user advised StefaanD to write a (more or less) obvious lie.
I asked why he should want to do this, since obviously he did not use the wrong UPC accidentally.

StefaanD understood this as direct attack against him, the rest is history.

In the end only the screener can tell you that.
Quote:
[i]source 3388330043100

- front & back cover ( own scan )[/i]


So you contributed 3388330043100 and state as source 3388330043100 ... I hope you see the ambiguity here.

E.g. my contribution for 80728013429, locality Germany went through without a glitch:
Quote:
initial contribution
clone of approved US All area Blu-ray profile 807280134292
change SRP to Euro
added german rating from cover


So if you clone, state your source, and that includes the locality. Tell the screener what you changed and maybe even what you checked but didn't have to change.

You may be right Lewis but is it not an assumption that he used the wrong EAN on purpose?  What would that accomplish as it could and should increase the probability of the contribution being declined.  In StefaanD's original post he never said he did it purposely and you could also read that he did it accidentally but noticed it and the irony in it after the fact.

It appears StefaanD also contributed an update to 3344428043391.8 [Moulin Rouge!] on 18 May.  Is it possible he simply grabbed the wrong disc or copied the EAN from the wrong notes?

In this case I would be really sorry for being such an extreme ar*se.
And you are correct, it can be read this way, so I obviously was.

Sorry Stefaan. 
Please accept my excuses.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I guess something like this has happened. I can't proof it, but "In dubio pro reo".

To me it sounded as if the wrong UPC was used intentionally, and I am sorry if I misinterpreted the original post.

I do stand by my point that it makes no sense to supply false info in the contribution notes in general.

I am still a little confused about the contribution notes.

Did you take all the information from the disc and cover or did you copy/clone another profile?
