I think it will be wonderful when there are only one or two things that needs to be contributed - that means the database is reaching perfection!

Fat chance, Kathy! Try a small locality for a change and see what's missing in the average profile...

So, Skip and Pete - is it your position that the quality of the information determines if it is a booklet or not? That sounds very subjective...


I wouldn't judge the quality of the information, but I would make a determination as to whether it is specifically about the DVD that it is enclosed with, or is it just "marketing" crap that is randomly stuck into any DVD.

Oh, yeah, I didn't even consider that. I throw the marketing crap right into the waste paper basket as soon as I open the DVD. Still, what constitutes a booklet, then? A single sheet isn't a booklet even if it contains very relevant information, or is it?

Personally if it is a single sheet folded I consider it either a booklet or a pamphlet. if it is a single sheet not folded (In example single sheet episode guides I got in some short TV Series sets) I would consider it a leaflet. But again... only if it is relevant to what is on the disc.

I always error on the side of "more information is better", and I really don't like "arbitrary" delimiters like "it must be 4 pages".  If it is a "booklet/leaflet" and it contains information specific to the DVD, then I'm all for submitting it.  What's the harm?

No harm, I just like to know what to call things. To me, a folded sheet is not a booklet, it's a leaflet. But since this falls under Other Features I guess it would be OK if I enter it as leaflet and you enter it as booklet...?
