I don't know if I can adequately describe this, but i will try. When I confront situations , which seem unclear, I will look at the Rule,, the Online, even other collections to determine the answer. I am not like i view many users here in the forums, I can almost see the glee and the hand-rubbing when someone finds something that they believe they can apply their own interpretation to. This to me indicates users who do not understand the Online, it function or even data, they merely have one single goal and that is putting their mark on the Online, deliberately throwing a handful of mud in the water instead of looking for the least problem caus9ing solution. In this case an entire country is off doing it's own thing and they don't care about the impact it has. I ALWAYS look for the least confrontational answer because all I really care about is one page for all, I have no room for users who want to do their own thing and no time either. So, what is lLEAST confrontational answer, evidently there are a lot of R1 users who understand this concept, because the subject never cam up here, we all just applied the colon. So an awful lot of users saw this is not an issue and another bunch of users saw it as an opportunity to go off on their own and adopt an answer that eventually was bound to create controversy. Guess what Germany...you got what you wanted and you evidently don't like it. Maybe you should stop worrying about doing things whatever way you wish or leaving your mark on the database and simply look around. You would be amazed at how easy this database is if you simply pay attention and stop worrying about doing what you want to do. That's all probably clear as mud, but perhaps a few will understand it.

Actually per rules the title comes from the front cover... and as can be seen in the first post the front cover does not use a hyphen in the title.

It doesn't, but it also doesn't show a colon, so we have to look elsewhere for solutions.

Their is also nothing in the Rules that spells out colon/hypen or anything else as it pertains to the edition, but how does the program represent the Edition field by using a COLON.

That alone I would have thought would have provided a hint as to the answer.

Common sense would also say that if this is the first time the issue has come up in a decade, it's been working pretty well for those that this issue affects.

It's because they've kept it quiet and out of the official forums until now. If it had been addressed through official channels it probably would've been resolved long ago.
