Hi.

I just added season one of the UK edition of Joey to my collection, and discovered that both the A and B sides of the individual discs had their own profile. That's not how it's supposed to be, is it?

In addition, all B-side profiles are actually empty, except for the cover (same as the A-side), and the disc ID (which is also registered as the B-side for the A-side profile)

UPCs/Disc IDs:
Box set: 7321900711760
Disc 1a: FA4B58D225C4FABE
Disc 1b: CDCB04F9CD044CA4
Disc 2a: DDAA6091E43E7AFF
Disc 2b: D539E47BD04F93D1
Disc 3a: 86E7C9524B199131
Disc 3b: DFE195B1E8824294

Is it OK if I remove the B-sides from the box set, and remove "side A" from the title of all A-sides? Actually, I've already done this locally, so I guess I'm really asking if it's OK to submit these changes.

Per the rules, if child profiles are made, they are made in-line with Box Set rules.  According to Box Set rules, both sides get profiled...and, no, it is not o.k. to remove them.

Actually I disagree Martian... the TV Series Rules states to make the child profiler per each disc Under disc level profile. not each side.

Actually, the rules state, "Individual profiles for each disc may be submitted if desired..."  Note it says 'profiles', plural, not 'profile', singular.  Ther rule goes on to say, "Create each of these individual profiles in line with the standard Contribution Rules..."  When a feature exists on each side of a dual sided disc, we create a child profile for each side.  That is how I read the rule.

Except this is not a single-sided multi-feature disc, it is a multi-sided multi-feature disc.  If we are talking 'consistent', we should handle these the same way we handle multi-sided multi-feature film discs.  For those, we profile each side so, to be consistent, we should do the same here.

Beyond that, as I said before, that is how I read the rules.

That's the way we do it for the film when we have a different movies on each side (exemple : Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 012569585928). Why would it be different for a TV serie if different episodes are present on each side of the disc? I really don't see a different situation here...

Well' I don't see anything that changes my assessment of the rules, I would kike to but...uh uh. I already desribed my read.

Nor does it make your interpretation correct.  Personally because of my involvement, I ll take my understanding over yours.I think I am in a better position to more correctly understand them.

I am sure you don't like that AESP, but that is FACT. Now I have basically asked to be sold on your assessment and the best you can give me is what you said. Not even close to a convincing argument. This is one of the many reasons why I have all but stopped Contributing data, stupid logic like this that makes absolutely no sense, of course then are people who will say " piffle he is only one,  we domn't have to convince him. Great attitude when I see that. So, if you have something to persuade me let's talk, but if that is the best you can do, I will tell you that you aren't correct and I don't care how many there are. Persuade me.

Now for my Martian friend, you quite properly used "consistent" but in a somewhat short-sighted way. There are numerous differences between the handling of film Boxsets and TV Series. Now why would we do separate Profiles in film because of different ARs, different Audio data, different Production Year data and so forth. NONE of these issues apply to a TV Series, the data for a given TV Series will be the same throughout the Season with very rare possible exceptions. So the reasons for treating them exactly as we would a film do not exist, so why is it exactly that we need create a string non-existent discs. I don't support imaginary data EVER, I accept it in the film medium of the DS Multi Feature disc ONLY because of the data involved that is likely to be different from title to title, something which does not exist in a Double-Sided Multi Feature TV Series.
