What do you do when someone post something negative that is incorrect.  I contributed cast on Balls of Fury and some one gave a no saying cast was already there, it wasn't.  What do you do and why would someone do that?

As this is a new title is it possible somebody else has done a simultaneous pending contribution that does have cast listed?

Best bet is to go to the database to check. Even if it was I wouldn't say it warranted a negative feedback.

Maybe there's another submission including it which hasn't yet been approved? That's common on most new releases. To stop this from happening to me, I keep checking the database. This often works, but not always. A sure way is to just make a minor change (often one that's not even right) then start the submission porcess. This will get the page with history for the title up and you can read others notes as to what they have or haven't submitted. Of course you go from there, and don't submit the quick change you made (unless it was correct, but it's easier to just delete a word in overview or click a feature that's not there, just to get to the contribution page and see what's been done).
This has saved me much time since when I started I kept doing full audits for new discs, only to find someone else already did and I wasted my time.

Just added it and checked the contributions under the database. Your's is one of five pending updates, and it's the last one to add the cast credits.

This is called paying attention to what you are doing and checking previous notes to see if there is anything pending BEFORE making a duplicate Contribution. We've all done it.

I agree this should not warrant negative feedback, but perhaps the OP is confusing a no vote with a red arrow.

@ thefon1010: You can view your feedback (which is different from contribution votes) by going to the My Profiler page and clicking on the Reputation button. If someone gave you any feedback, you can view it there.

There's no negative feedback, just a No vote on the contribution.

Ahh a simple misunderstanding then, as it is a legitimate no vote. Thanks for clarifying.
