Error Listings and rejected edits 2024

You just rejected a back cover artwork for https://vgcollect.com/item/77308 (PS1 EU: Monopoly [UK]) saying its the wrong one and should be on https://vgcollect.com/item/258679.

English 5023117435065 (note "Developed by Blue Planet Software, Inc." back cover text)
English/French/German 5023117435065 (note "Developed by Gremlin Interactive Ltd." back cover text)
English/French/German 5023117435058 (note "Developed by Gremlin Interactive Ltd. back cover text)

It is common for different items to share the same barcode information. Based on 77308's other entry data, your submitted back art is incorrect.

Both the first and second items linked above are found in the UK, so the descriptor may need updating to something like (Blue Planet Software) and (Gremlin Interactive).

So you now have a back artwork showing barcode 5023117435065 on the artwork on a listing that has barcode 5023117435058.

That doesnt seem right :/

Are you referring to 258679? Because of the image size, I can't confidently say whether or not the Barcode information matches the barcode shown on the Back Art image. If you have reason to believe it doesn't, then it may be updated. Bear in mind that the entry has not had any subsequent edits supplied, meaning all information to it is original to its time of submission by another member. With that said, the front image may very well be incorrect too, but, again, the small image size prevents us from knowing.

Use Ctrl+Scroll wheel to move to say, 300% and you should be able to tell the last two digits.

Alternatively what can be done is to take 2 images from Ebay (or whatever) and resize/shape/crop them and shrink them down to 200px width and compare them to the image on the site. One will be close or will match and one won't. That is the only real way to tell which barcode is on a small image that is on the site, but sometimes JPEG compression makes it difficult.

Unfortunately, this doesn't help with confirming whether the front art is correct or not.

I've rechecked my copy, and it seems like this item page has some contradictions to it.

My copy has item number RVL-R4QP-UKV and barcode 045496900212 (images: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404287853493?epid=66602752)

The item page has item number RVL-R4QP-EUR and barcode 045496900212

So same barcode, but different item number. Also, the back cover looks to be taken from a french copy.

RVL-R4QP-EUR is the disc number. It's common to see the disc number be submitted to the Item Number field when higher priority numbers should be there instead (especially from entries this old.)  RVL-R4QP-UKV may be submitted to the Item Number field in its place but will only be approved if the disc number is also transferred to the Description field. There isn't any reason for us to overwrite correct data simply because it's out of place.

Back cover art for 54553 has been removed.

A new entry for the FR regional release has been submitted.

First, when creating a new entry and an error is made, do not create a duplicate entry to amend it. Instead, submit an edit submission. It is bad practice to do otherwise.

Regarding your edit submissions, the Description field data you've submitted for numerous entries is far too lengthy with unneeded information for our site's purposes.. At the same time, information such as mentioning the release date is repeated, as there are dedicated Release Date fields where that information should instead be submitted to. Here is a style guide's Description post which explains all what sort of information is and isn't relevant.

Here is one of the proposed Description field edits you submitted:

EB Games Canada Exclusive NHL 12 Launch Party cover sleeve featuring Alex Burrows surrounded by other members of the Vancouver Canucks.

The cover was distributed on September 09, 2011 between 7pm and midnight. The athlete arrived for signing between 9pm and 11pm.
The first 250 people in line had the chance to meet Alex Burrows.

The location was at Best Buy, 2220 Cambie St, Vancouver, BC V5Z 2T7

Easily, the above text can be condensed for our site's purposes to this:

cover athlete: Alex Burrows
copies may or may not be signed by Alex Burrows

originally available at a launch party at Vancouver, Canada Best Buy location

That sort of brevity should be used for the entries needing updates.

The image on the back cover is of a Standard release, not a platinum.
A release that is English, Dutch(?) and Greek does seem to exist but with a different front cover.

Front and back images have been updated. Both previous images and the Barcode field information were original to the entry, so the latter becomes prioritized in this instance.

The incorrect front cover image relates to the UK release. I didn't bother trying to identify the back cover image, since it wasn't even for a Platinum item.

What marketing terms an online retailer use mean nothing to how an entry should be named, unless that same term is actually present on the item itself. This is an issue with nearly every Limited Run Games "special edition," but it's also common with other limited print companies. Since the Limited Edition term isn't actually present on 203349 (from what I've been able to tell), then the term can only be submitted to the Alt-Name field. However, there is no reason to repeat the entire game name, so only submit Limited Edition and not Neo Cab - Limited Edition. The Description field can also be updated to mention something like "sold online as Limited Edition."

Since we have no means to verify any reported production numbers, it's best to not submit that information at all. For instance, the product page for the standalone Neo Cab doesn't mention anything about how many copies were manufactured. But, let us assume the information being reported by some third-party site is correct, that there are 3,000 copies. If that is true, we must also recognize that there are numerous bundles including Neo Cab also being sold. Are those copies a part of the reported 3,000? Or are there 3,000 standalone copies in addition to more that are included as part of these bundles? We don't know that answer, so it shouldn't be submitted as fact.

The other information about the item's contents are fine to submit (i.e. keychain, manual, and so forth.)

Not sure if this is a fangame or something but it needs to be labelled as unofficial... or removed:

Its a bootleg. We wouldn't remove an entry. A quick search reveals that it exists physically. In the future you could have submitted an edit to change it to unofficial.
