Just how are the multi disc sets of episodes from the Tomorrowland segment of the Disneyland weekly TV show not TV sets?

They are so this is a non-issue.

And how are a year-by-year collections of animated shorts not box sets of films?

Nobody said they weren't but, as Rick said, you can't add a list of contents unless there is no overview.  This is the rule for box set overviews:

If the box set cover contains a listing of contents with brief descriptions of each, enter it directly into the Overview field.  If there is no overview on the cover, an overview from an included booklet may be substituted.  Otherwise, enter an itemized listing of the contents only, without descriptions.

That is an 'A, B, C' rule...meaining, first 'A'.  If no 'A', then 'B'.  If no 'B', then 'C'.  We have to enter the Overview from the case, if it doesn't exist, we may substitute the overview from an included booklet.  If there is no included booklet then, and only then, can we enter an itemized listing of the contents, without descriptions.

This is not a case of reading more into the rules than what is really there, this is reading what is actually there...whether we like it or not.


Your answers make sense to me. Thank you.
If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

The reason we have more than 1 person is so that the value of the change (and not just whether it follows the rules not just whether it follows the rules) can be indicated by those who have voted..

If this were the case, then we wouldn't need the rules at all...just a bunch of people deciding whether or not the change has value.  All contributions must adhere to the rules.  If a contribution does, no matter how you spin it, you can't vote 'no'.


I've underlined the bit which you don't seem to have noticed.. in other words it still has to follow the rules. But Ken has quite clearly said that this isn't sufficient for it to be accepted.

Isn't that what I have been saying?  This contribution follows the rules.  It may not follow your personal definition of 'significant value', but it does follow the rules to the letter.  That being the case, a "No" vote would be considered an abuse of the voting privilege.

As to what Ken has quite clearly said, I have no idea what you are talking about.
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.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.
