| | Posted: | | | | I had a Bluray in my collection with a wrong EAN. It had a "0" as prefix and someone contributed a "Delte this Disc and choose the correct EAN" without leading "0".
So i did and saw, that pretty all information where missing in the new profile. So i copied them from the old release to the new and add the following to the contribution notes:
"all data from existing and approved bluray-release (0-886919-929799)"
The contribution was declined with no reasons given. It just says:
"Profile Contribution Declined Dec 29 2012 5:50PM"
I hope the Decider of this Decline reads this and gives an answer ... |

| | Posted: | | | | I don't know if this is the reason... but maybe it is because the profile you pointed to was deleted? So when the screener looked for the one you pointed to, there wasn't one any longer. It kinda makes sense to me at least. If I was a screener and someone pointed me to a non-existent profile I would also decline it. | | | | Pete |

"all data from existing and approved bluray-release (0-886919-929799)" As Pete said, the problem here is, that the profile you copied the data from has just been disapproved. Subsequently all data in this profile is considered to be incorrect and/or non-existent (if already deleted from maindatabase). One might even argue that the word "Release" in your notes is incorrect too, since there never was an actual Release with the EAN you linked to. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | What the previous users said is correct, I suspect. One thing , don't lean on the word approved too much, lean on the rules. I see people making comments all the time about something being previously approved, so why is it being changed. Usually its because whatever is being changed is consistent with the rules, while the original was not. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | But the problem is... you are pointing them to a source that just don't exist in the database any longer. So they go looking for the source you gave... and there they find absolutely nothing. It makes perfect sense that they decline something without a source they can check. They have no idea where the old non-existing profile got it's information. The more I personally think about it... why would they accept such a thing... the votes don't matter if there is no source there. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | And how can i find out who deleted the profile?
Then he should contribute the now missing information ...
By the way.
The time i contributed the changed the other profile did existed. but later not anymore.
What can i do if they wait so long for an contribution review? | | | | Last edited: by F1Database |

| | Posted: | | | | its not important who deleted the file. What is important is that it was properly deleted. With the little info provided it is hard to know for sure, but it sounds to me like a bit of a too quick on the draw.
Anyone who has been collecting DVDs for awhile knows or should that there can be multiple upcs released for any given title. Do you see a upc that does not match yours, you may erroneously presume it to be bad and request removal, this could be a bad thing. But you should not be focused on what you contributed, but on what upc you are holding in your hand. That is all you should be concerned with. So a new profile has to be created. It would nit be the first or last time a pre release upc was wrong or even pirated from a previously released title.. keep your focus where it belongs, what you have in your hand. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

What can i do if they wait so long for an contribution review? While I can see this... looking back it is pretty obvious that the one that is being deleted wouldn't still be there by the time they get to your update. After all we know the time they have profiles up for review. | | | | Pete |

You shall not invent profiles - one of the Ten Commandments. To support an invented profile is a deadly sin, and will be punished accordingly. I often add profiles via name to the database and not via ean. for example when i order them online. for example at amazon or ebay. you dont have a ean there. And when they arrive i dont check the ean always ... |
