Season 6 keeps it in release sequence order in my collection where the word six could put it out of order.

Just as a side-note: that is what the sort-title is for.

Here is a little checklist on how to clone profiles

If you observed those and mentioned in the contribution-notes that you did clone from UPC/Locality it should be accepted.

Got it.

You change a correct title from Lost: The Complete Sixth Season to Lost: Seson 6
And you have no source for your SRP.

Not contributing and helping out the online database is giving up.

I am new here and I have contributed a lot in my short time. 
The key things that I have found is:

1) Read the rules thourghly
2) Document everything you do and how you did it in your notes
3) Include any and all sources
4) Post in the forum if you have a question
5) If you get a NO vote, PM that person to learn why.  The notes field is not that large and it may not be fuly descriptive.  Then take appropriate action by either fixing the issue as you are helped to, wihtdraw the change or take it to the foums if there are different ways to interpret the rules.

Now there are many rules I have not delved much into like "cast an crew", that seems like a more complex area.  But I think between the rules themselves and the enormous help I have gotten from everyone I have been able to make good contributions in the other areas. 

If I can do it, you can do it

Giving up is not the answer since you may have future contributions that will fix issues for everyone

What Scooter said along with the fact we need more contributors from down under. Anytime I've picked up an Austrailian dvd, the profiles are rarely complete. Some don't even have shells of profiles yet. I felt the same way when I started out here (like quitting) but stuck with it. Once you start getting all the rules it's easy to make solid contributions that help everyone. Plus if you can't find that confirmation link for an actor's alias, everything else you filled in is still correct and can be contributed. No one said a contribution has to fix all problems at once, so start with what you can prove from disc credits or solid internet links.
