Hi. An edit of mine was rejected for already being on file. The edit served to fix some errors in the transcription of the box text. "Calmbos" should be "Clambos" and "Rayom" should be "Rayon". If there's a protocol for fixing typographical errors like this that I'm boneheadedly overlooking, do let me know; I'm trying to improve the entries for games that I own, so I'll be making quite a lot of submissions and this may come up again.
The other rejection was very informative. I had no idea that the "E" rating in ESRB was established in 1998. That means Bubsy 3D was probably reissued at that time with the new rating, but I actually don't know when it was reissued, so I'm not going to redo the edit. Thanks!

Your Box Text edit was rejected in error. If it's submitted again, it will be approved. If there are other instances where you need to contest an edit rejection or report something wrong, it's best to post in the dedicated Error Listings and Rejected Edits topic (https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,12988.0.html).
And I'll also mention that it's good practice to leave fields empty if information can't be confirmed, which is something that happens most often with release date information. Although GameFAQs reports (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/196832-bubsy-3d/data) that the ESRB E rating variant as having been released sometime in 1998, so it would be fine to supply that information if you're wanting to.

Got it, I'll post in that topic from now on.
And definitely, even regarding the original release date of 1996 for Bubsy 3D, I actually refrained from adding month and day because the information couldn't be confirmed. GameFAQs had some time in October and MobyGames had November, so I decided to just put 1996 (USA release dates for older games sadly follow this pattern often). It was interesting to learn that the same date of 1996 couldn't apply to the re-release. Since I have your go-ahead, I'll resubmit the re-release with the 1998 date.
Thanks for your patience with me as I learn my way around.
