I can't help wondering if "OK" and "FLAG ISSUE(S)" are better labels for the buttons than Yes and No? Might make it all seem less personal.
More room to type comments would help as well as we are forced to be necessarily brief, which can come across as being curt. | | | | Last edited: by Squirrelecto |

Tried to stay oughta this, but I have to say it wasn't the asking, it was the expectation that he was right and Skip was wrong. At least, that's how it came across to me. But even if he's right, Skip didn't make any errors because he entered the data "as credited."
This brings up an interesting question. With the new 'credited as' feature, is the data correct?
The new rule says, "Use the "As Credited" field where the person's name differs from the credited name."
Maid in Manhattan was written by John Hughes using the pseudonym Edmond Dantes. I did a quick google search and was able to document it in about 5 seconds so I know it is true. This means that the person's name did differ from the credited name. According to the rules, you have to use the 'As Credited' field.
Or am I reading that wrong?  Wrong. Somebody has already mentioned John Hughes uses this alias. Knowing that going in made it fairly easy for you find that is correct apparently. But what if somebody doesn't know that? Like me, for example. I'm a Hughes fan, but I didn't know about the alias until this thread came up. Should my (or anybody else's) profile be nixed by somebody that DID know, as if I've made a mistake? I don't think so. Like I said, enter what you know for sure, leave alone what you don't - whatever it is. If somebody else is so wound up about it, they can submit a change with proof! | | | John

Just when I was about to close this thread, it starts getting into a useful discussion. And I was all set to click that lock button.  Thanks a lot. 
PMs need to stay private, that's what the P stands for after all. Please don't make them public, for that is not what the P stands for.
No votes aren't the end of the world, in fact nowhere near it. Far more important are brief, intelligent notes one way or the other. We also track user accuracy over the long term to help us evaluate contributions and votes.
Would it help to have a response mechanism built in to the contribution system so the submitter can (politely, of course) rebut the No vote comments? Absolutely! I've felt for a long time that something like that would eliminate a lot of the acrimony some people have over PMs. | | | John

That brings up an interesting question:
Has anybody ever refused to vote on a submission, because it would mean to publicly admit owning that particular DVD? I'm pretty shameless, anything I would be afraid to vote on, most people are probably afraid to make submissions for. |
