To contributors and voters

Profiler ices birth year data as a discriminator between two or more people with the same name and such data must be documented. We currently have a film up for vote from one of film's best directors including his by undocumented and there is only one such name in film, yet people are blindly voting yes. The name of the director Alfred Hitchcock.

Quoting Winston Smith:

Rules:
Quote:
Enter birth years only when necessary to differentate between two actors with the same name. When submitting a contribution that adds a new birth year to one or more credits, list justification in the contribution notes.


The rules state to list justification, not documentation. Sure, justification generally requires some form of link, but justification is different to documentation.

(for what it is worth, I either add like Kulju has posted or note the relevant BY thread).

However you want to put it Sam. There is only the data addition nothing else. So stop trying to create an argument. The contributor did not even comment that he was adding by. Let alone anything else. Even if the data is propagated by invalid, a comment is needed because we only def data change

That doesn't mean that the voters voted blindly yes, as you again accused them. Maybe they used that same less than a minute as I did to figure out that the contribution was correct.

Right Kulju. I spotted it in less than a minute and that there was NO justification/documentation to accompany therefore a no is not only valid but required IMO. Do it right or don't do it at all, as usual all you and Sam want to do is create an argument out of your own head and because the notes have  no value to you...yet. One day perhaps you all learn but I highly doubt it. Your hot button is me. If I date to say something you will argue and attack.

Then why didn't you just vote no and continue with your life? No, you had to open a thread so you could once again show us lazy voters how we blindly vote yes to incorrect contributions. Little of you knew that maybe all other voters knew that the contribution was correct.

As we all know you have chosen the latter...

Here we go again, could you please stop that "you just don't know/understand/care/get it ....."

Yes, and I'm a man enough to admit that. You don't contribute profiles, take part of beta testing, contribute bug findings, feature requests, head shots, plugins or anything else constructive. All you do is whine about other people's contribution notes (or lack of them). In future, if you find a contribution that is agaist rules, just vote no and go on.

All I did was point out the rule and say documentation is not required. I agree a no vote is in order here as no justification was pointed out.

Of course, once again, Skip is the victim.

Agreed. 

A thread is only required when you are unsure IMO.

Skip a victim? Hardly, but I will defend myself. I posted a friendly reminder to one and all. You posted info and were thanked. After that...all downhill.

Which part exactly was a personal attack? I just stated the facts.

Maybe I'm just stupid but I didn't get what exactly you were trying to remind us of. Language barrier I assume...
