Once again, I say, enter every cast credit you see on the screen and be done with it.  For those that don't want non-appearing cast in a particular episode, great....delete them locally.

This is how I would do it...

And you withdrew your contribution due to lack of support. It's the same I would do in this occasion. I find it astonishing that some users know or think they know everything and yet they only use their knowledge to defend the online database from "bad" data instead of contributing something themselves.

To be honest Martin, I would have let the contribution run its course....if it wasn't for the fact that the ONLY votes were from the 3 NO people.

On their initial contribution 5 other people voted YES...but, those 5 people chose to not vote on the re-submission (or voted neutral).

It didn't see that there would be a chance in hell that the contributions would go through with NO votes only; especially considering who the NO votes were from.

Don't worry Pantheon. I understand what you feel, and I found the solution. I  never get No votes on my contributions... 

Some people here consider the online database as their exclusive property. Each time they can vote No on something interesting, they do, even if it is obvious that the contribution is interesting (as for common sense). Twisting rules when that is good for them, and claiming rules must not be interpreted in other cases. They prefer an empty database than a good one made by others than them...

After that everyone can do what he wants...

...at some time those where guidelines: that did not work. .

In fact, that worked perfectly out of zone 1 where there was a ping pong contributions war. On smaller countrires, it worked fine, with contributors who just wanted to share their work, and did it making a fine job . Now, those are very few... I will not say again that titles as 300, Fur, Death Proof, Die Hard 4 or Spiderman 3 have not yet been contributed in France...  If Ken is not worried about it, I suppose he has his reasons...

Again and some more, Surfeur? What you fail to understand is that if you violate the Rules in your Region it affects every other user EVERYWHERE. It throws off the data on Actors and Crew and makes the Credit Lookup results worthless. So NO it never worked the way you think it did.

If you want to contribute you follow the rules.

I do not want to contribute. I have no problem about that.

Martin:

You don't seem to understand that surfeur wants the Rules, not Invelos way but his way. Thank God he has given up Contributing, or so he says, I would prefer to have him Contribute but not HIS way. We have a big enough mess. Not only can one user make a mess that affects everybody else, now let's make it worse. User A sets up a credit list of his own creation and gets away with it, you create a Profile for your area using his approved bogus data, so now we have double the bad data. If you don't belkieve it look up someone simple like Robert Downey, Jr. and Robert Downey Jr and look at all the crossover titles that exist uunder both names, yet we are to rely on such data to create a valid alias.  yeah...right. Unfortunately this happens all too frequently, and the reason that "small" areas can do this is because they have a user like surfeur who either doesn't understand or doesn't care and there are not enough users involved to help police that user.

I am realizing that I am the main cause of the mess in the online database. I could do that with no contribution in the last six monthes... and no vote on any contribution. I didn't knew I could be so harmful...

I apologize to everyone and to Ken for all this mess...
