Error Listings and rejected edits 2021

Ah, I see. Thank you.

I should have mentioned this before in my previous post, but the item ending with 2657 is more than acceptable to add into the database as a separate entry. It will require the barcode information as a descriptor in its entry name, but that should only serve as a placeholder until we can identify what the spine item numbers for both items are. Once that needed information is known, then the spine item numbers would be better examples for use as title descriptors. That is, if the spine item numbers are, in fact, different from another.

Hi, this is in regards to the name edits I made to: https://vgcollect.com/item/59622

You rejected my edit on the grounds that I put the alt name where the regular should be, and I understand that. However, you then put an incorrectly formatted version of the Japanese character text into the alt name.

You can see on the box that it is formatted the way I did it. No spaces, with a bullet point in the title.

I have re-submitted the alt title, including the English title as well.

I have re-submitted the alt title, including the English title as well.

Regardless of the bullet point being present in the Alt-Name field, the entry still appears when using the search tool (ウィザードリィIII•ダイヤモンドの騎士 versus ウィザードリィ III ダイヤモンドの騎士.) However, the symbol you've submitted is incorrect also, as you've submitted a bullet point (•) instead of what it actually used in Japanese called the nakakuro or interpunct (・). As far as I'm aware, the interpunct is used in Japanese text to indicate a separation between words as its main use, although it is not always present and is more of a stylistic decision for easier reading.

In the past, I have omitted such characters from the Alt-Name field as the space character accomplishes the same result and is more user-friendly to use for most of VGC's users, although perhaps I should reconsider that personal practice. Nevertheless, since the box text does show the interpunct as part of the title, your edit has again been rejected but will be approved if the correct symbol is submitted.

So, to be clear, submit "ウィザードリィIII・ダイヤモンドの騎士, Knight of Diamonds." If we're to transcribe everything present, we may as well be precise and use the correct symbols, which it seems you also agree to how the information should be entered.

Genuinely didn't know it was called the interpunct and I appreciate the new knowledge. I have re-submitted the alt name, thanks!

edit: nevermind, I guess it is an accessory.

this is the US version not the aasian version my edit was rejected which makes no sense because no asian game has an esrb rating

This item is similar to the U.A.E. / Saudi Arabia / Malaysia / Singapore items like this, which are items that were released across Asia but retain an ESRB rating. Both 173348 and Kemco RPG Omnibus are items that were released in across Asia, so they are placed in the CN category. There are plenty of instances of items having ratings that differ from the market they were actually released in, such as many items imported to Australia.

Barcode is for UK Version, which already exists in the database so I'm going to remove the barcode.

What is the procedure for some of these more generic database entries without any discernible way to identify if they are X or Y variant?

Approved.

In EU categories, generic entries without discerning information would be modified to represent a general Europe release if such release exists and is not currently within the database. In the event that a general Europe release does not exist, the UK version (if, again, it also exists) would then default to this status. However, in this specific instance, it seems that no general Europe release exists while the UK release already exists within the database. Personally, I would probably merge 109545 with 39626; however, since tripredacus actually submitted 109545 long ago, I'll wait for their action.

I know that a France-specific release exists with the same cover art, but I highly doubt that the entry was submitted with that intent, as I'm sure that the entry would have been submitted with the [FR] TLD.

INL-XT200202-CL-UK -> INL-XT200202-UK

The cover art and name suggests the title is the standard release. I believe the cl references it being a classics version of the game.

It was before I had understood that sites would use a stock photo to represent any PEGI release in Europe but with no identifying information.

For generic EU entries like this, where a PEGI rating is present but no info, there are priorities for changing it. First is that an English language European release with PEGI rating must be found. These can be found on Ebay UK under either UK or European Union specific search parameters, or a [DK][FI][NO][SE] release. If neither of those are found to exist, then the entry would be changed to UK.

And that appears to be the case here, there is no English EU release and there is no [DK][FI][NO][SE] release, so it will be merged with UK version.
