Error Listings and rejected edits 2024

Got two rejected edits related to text.

As mentioned, the text that's listed on the box_text value is on the front cover, not on the back.

Game bought today, brand-new.

As mentioned in the rejection comments, your submission was rejected due to trying to remove valid Box Text field information and transferring it to the Description field where it's not needed. If you re-submit the information again while maintaining what's already present, it will be approved.

The Box Text field isn't exclusive to back cover text, though it's generally unwarranted to add in many cases. The existing text mentioning compatibility is relevant and useful as well as being information that's exclusive to that item variant (see 275326.)

Done, including the all caps for the text already present.

Also, isn't the item number (78550206US in this case) supposed to only be filled in case that it's present on the spine? This game doesn't have that number on the spine, but on the top right of the barcode area.

Approved.

As for the Item Number field, the spine number is prioritized. However, item number locations are not uniform, so there is an order of hierarchy that's outlined in the style guide. So, for instance, if neither a spine number nor back number is present but a front number is, then that front number information should be submitted to the dedicated field.

Items with multiple numbers
The priority list of which number is added to the item number field in the DB is:
1. The spine or side
2. The back
3. The front
4. The media
5. Hidden or only on sealed samples
Additional item numbers should be put into the description.

Oh, okay. In that case, I'll fix the entries for the other XB1 games I have around here.

Can we compromise and edit it to be Ishidō?

When I rejected your submissions, I was under the impression that we prioritized transliteration over transcription, but this seems to be only relevant regarding JP items. So, NA and EU entry pages have been reverted back to Ishidō, whereas JP entry pages maintain Ishidou.

Several of the entries were previously titled Ishidō: The Way of the Stones which is incorrect, so there should be greater uniformity now.

Thanks for updating!  The uniformity is appreciated.

Entry https://www.vgcollect.com/item/64855 for River Raid A2600 [EU] has the cartridge image for the [NA] version as designated by the item number AX-020 in the image.  The combined front box image and cartridge image represents the [NA] release.  The closest [EU] counterpart that has a red Activision label is https://vgcollect.com/item/275457 with item #EAX-020, but this item has a multi-lingual box.  Lack of details in the original entry makes it difficult to identify the correct [EU] entry for which it corresponds.

Based on front entry art, 275459 has been merged into 64855.

Since I had just submitted one as well I just figured it was me  .  I end up with blank ones all the time, usually because of the image files get hung up during the upload due to an internet hiccup.

I cannot attest for why the barcode was initially changed however I have provided the matching front image for the specific listing based on the barcode provided (Example listing: www.ebay.de/itm/296729807963 ).

In terms of what takes precedent, the barcode is what is relied on for what version a item is as its the clearest indication of what an item is meant to actually be. In many instances there is a mish-mash of information which needs to be corrected to a specific version.

I have not denied any image relating to these items and welcome anyone to add improved images where possible. A lot of the items listed can be difficult to gather great images of due to either their rarity or simply good images not being available at the time. Frequently I revisit items I have created when I become aware of a better image available to me.

Completely understand your point regarding users possibly having the wrong item in their collection now due to the barcode change 2 years ago. Perhaps it would be better to of merged users to the relevant version before the barcode change however I have no context as to what caused the changed and wasn't even a moderator at that point of time. *Edit* Possibly the back image?

Also, I get that it can be frustrating when an edit gets denied but please don't take it personally in any way. Frankly, you provide some of the better edits on the website. Having high quality Edits and scans submitted. It was great having edits come through for the guide section for example. The odd few edits may inevitably get denied (I was posting on the error thread almost every week so I know how that feels haha) but its just something that can happen with these niche items.

Back art is original to the entry but the EAN added later was wrong. I changed the barcode to what was on the back art. The entry is for an English version as it comes with the English carts (E prefix) instead of the German cards (G prefix).

After evaluating the back image, I have come to the conclusion that the image is a composite. It sources from a warez forum that originally hosted the images on Imageshack, but all of the links are broken. It appears to be a combination of the English back but with the German barcode. Since the entry was originally believed to be the English version, the barcode should be changed back to the one somnlegacy used: 4012927023570

Swapped the entries.
- made 78152 the UK version
- made 270641 the German version

As a side note: Grok won't try to read the barcode because it is too small, but Gemini did try and came up with this: 096279045878

noticed this way later. but this is very appreciated. Good stuff

Hi folks, I've been trying to get edits done for these two releases:
https://vgcollect.com/item/213562
https://vgcollect.com/item/115374

The artwork is incorrect for them, they should be switched.
You can see the correct artwork here, which I submitted but was rejected:

https://psxdatacenter.com/psx2/images2/covers/SLPS-25043/

Of course, GameFAQs has this information incorrect, which is the source I just so happened to reference when previously coming across these items.

Instead of trying to swap every piece of entry information, only update the Name and Item Number fields (i.e. (SLPS-25042) to (SLPS-25043) and vice-versa.) Then your edits will be approved.
