My guess is because you didn't change any of the region specific data.  Does the overview language match?  The rating?  The title?  The cover images?

You can't simply download a profile, change the locality and upc, then upload it.  You have to make sure that the data matches the locality as well.

Not sure why... but are you doing new scans of the cover art? if not are you submitting the cover art? if you are that could be (atleast) one of the problems... as you have to make sure the cover art is correct for the release you have. Even if the only thing that is different is the UPC/EAN on the back it would be against the contribution rules and be declined.

IF you want to contribute be sure to go over and learn all the Contribution Rules for submitting. And make sure you verify everything and write complete notes with any documentation needed.

With new entries, a lot of people prefer to enter a basic profile such as - Title, release date, SRP & when possible cover scans. With copying however, things like cast/crew can just be duplicated (a quick check against the credits wouldn't hurt though due to potential errors in the original, different voice actors, etc...). I would probably only sumbit what you are comfortable with. There's no right or wrong amount to submit. Some people spend hours on one entry, documenting absolutely everything, others do basic entries. In my opinion as long as the data sumbitted is correct & valid, it's a decent submission.

As you don't have a scanner, you'll need to remove the cover art. Go into the cover scans section, go to File & Clear. You'll need to do this for both Front & back scans. Or do as Addicted above says.

You mention waiting a few days if it's not there. That's usually OK for countries like USA/Canada/UK. However for non English speaking countries, the userbase is a bit smaller so it's always possible that you're the only one who has a particular title.

What movies is it? You have the EAN from the cover?

So what's the minimum amount of  information needed?

I scan the movies with a barcode scanner,
Movie Title is a dead giveaway.
I also enter price and whatever information I can read from the cover, usually, I get home with a few new movies, scan them into the collection and start watching

Actually, SRP is not always the price on the cover.

there are a lot of Norwegian releases that are not in the database.
When I first got DVD Profiler and was unsure or didnt want to bother with making a new profile I simply entered the tile and saved whichever other release there was of that DVD.
But after getting more used to the profile and not seeing the release getting added I realized it was up to me to add it. So I had to recheck all my profiles that didnt match the DVD release I added, and add them myself.

So I started learning the rules and asking here if I needed help and eventually started contributing the correct profiles.
Which is what I would advise you to do too. Start being a part of the community and adding profiles to make this the most correct user created database there is.
Every little bit helps.
If not, at least create the correct UPC. Throw in some cover scans if you can find or have them, add title and whatever you feel you are capable of. And hopefully someone else will fill in the blanks.
I've downloaded many profiles that only have a few things. Like title along with the correct UPC.
Of course it would be better to try and fill in as much as you can (the minimum amount as stated earlier in this post), and not hope someone else will always complete your contributions.
Its better than nothing I guess.
