you could always plea with Gerri Cole with Private Message: PM: Gerri Cole
Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted. Please include the sources for your changes in the contribution notes, especially for cast and crew additions.

Likely there was some sort of a problem with your Contribution. Did you look at the user comments as THEY evaluated your Contribution? Also remember this is not a beauty contest, but it is about our Rules and the correctness of your data, so the number of users who may vote yes is irrelevant. All it takes is one sharp-eyed user to spot an error, and assuming it is a valid catch then that Contribution shoyld be declined regardless of the yes votes. So PAY ATTENTION to No votes and what users say and be prepared to make corrections. If you simply make a Contribution and then walk away with out looking any further, yoiu will get whatever you deserve, if its good people will vote yes and it will get accepted, if there are errors people will find them and it will be declined.

If you feel that the evaluators made an honest mistake, try PM'ing as shown above.  However, please keep in mind that they have a lot of work in evaluating contributions and if everyone PM'ed because their contribution was declined, they wouldn't have any time left to evaluate anything.

If after reading the no votes, like Skip said, and you still don't know why the contribution was declined (or you had no no votes) you can always ask here in the forums. It simply could be that you provided insufficient documentation for your changes. If nothing is found to be wrong try simply recontributing it (possibly with more documentation, be specific with changes made especially on scans, why yours are improvements). Sometimes the screeners just make an honest mistake.

I understand this very well.
I was thinking about the topic of my contribution that was declined because of the bi-language matter, and i am thinking if i did better avoid it by directly contacting the evaluator.
I just hope no one has been offended.

You ARE talking to the evaluators, that is what th4e vote system is all about. Users review it and the screeners then use that information for guidance. You haven't provided any information which would be helpful to those of us here that can provide you with any kind of guidance.

No offense meant, none taken, but you are making it very hard for us to help you.
