We all know that contributions depend on voting. Am I right that you are allowed to vote for a contribution as soon as the same EAN/UPC is part of your collection?

Well, I can ensure you that this is absolutely not enough!!!

The ones who recognize loadas of my contributions know that I am working on child profiles for tv series very much. No matter if the series has two discs, five or more. The same I just did for the docu-series "Civil War"

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098769/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt

So the german release contains 5 discs with the 9 episodes and I did a box set with child profiles for each disc. And I got a No-Vote with the argument: "imho this doesn't fit the boxset definition. It's not a TV series and does not include more than one film"

Really? REALLY? That only proves that the voter does absolutely not know what he owns! And that is why "owning" alone is not enough right to vote!

Especially: Just imagine that he is the only other person owning this EAN like I do. So I only get his vote and that's a "No". Child profiles are initial and he can't avoid, but a declined contribution of the parent would avoid the connection of parent profile and the childs.

Similar case - but there the voter at least seems to know what he has - for another series. 2 discs, 6 episodes. I prefer the childs - and get another No-Vote. Argument: "there is no need to create a boxset". Smart statement! When is there ANY need for a box set? Wether you like it or not, but saying for all other owners that there is "no need" is nothing than a personal opinion. If he doesn't want it a box set, then it is his choice.

I had similar posts for awful contributions, destroying excisting material. No it's about ignorant (or stupid?) votings. More and more it becomes neccessary to install kind of a test to get the right for each of them! Would anybody be so kind and tell guys like them to take a look at what they own and not to vote out of their stomach?

You don't need to own any discs to vote.  If you add a title to your wishlist (or any other collection) and upload your collection you can vote on those titles.

You can even load up your wishlist and contribute updates to those titles all day long without owning a single disc.

Your contribution of the child profiles is correct. It's a 9-episode TV Series with several episodes on each of the discs. On the USA version, it even says on the back cover "Miniseries"! Make sure you number the episodes, though. Also, the "no" voter doesn't HAVE to accept the child profiles in his/her local database. As long as your information is correct, the "no" vote about "not being a TV Series" is invalid. All of the episodes are allowed in the main profile for those that don't want child profiles of TV Series/shows.

I remember many years ago... back on the old site/name... there a=was a test to contribute(/vote?)... to be honest it really didn't help any to my memory.
