A member is trying to contribute changes for (obviously) a lot more Die Harder - profiles than he actually owns (Stated so in the contribution notes).
In his contribution notes it is stated that all new established crosslinks are fully supported by Invelos CLT. This is incorrect. A short countercheck showed at least three incorrect crosslinks.
Watch out, check yourself and vote accordingly. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | I spot checked a few of the names for the version I own & those seemed to tie up. I don't actually use the figures shown for the number of titles but count them myself. Most of the time the actual number of different titles is less than those given due to how they've been entered.
Can you say which 3 names you found? |

Whoever they are shouldn't be doing mass updates of things they don't own however. Just got a PM where the contributor states that these threads were used for the crosslinks too. So possibly only the contribution notes are incorrect (data is not supported by CLT but by matching threads in forum) | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

| | Posted: | | | | Yepp,
and the contributor already is correcting the contribution notes. So I think I'd better put a "Solved" in the header. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

Watch out, check yourself and vote accordingly. And precisely why I vote NO to such undocumented statements as made by thie user, and will continue to do so. Especially when he changes data to titles he does NOT own. just because something CAN be done does not mean ity SHOULD be done, rfemember we have already proven that Cast and crew re NOT universal across Versions, Regions and Localities, so this user, despite the fact that he CAN do this, is actually causing dam,age to the database.
