A few rejected edits (PS1 PAL)

Your edit to 360: Three Sixty was rejected.
Game: http://vgcollect.com/item/58780
Field: Name
New Value: 360 Three Sixty
---
The Parent Title is set without any special character, which makes the semicolon unnecessary and wrong, as 360 is not a part of any series.

Your edit to 007: Racing was rejected.
Game: http://vgcollect.com/item/58770
Field: Name
New Value: 007 Racing
---
The Parent Title is set without any special character, which makes the semicolon unnecessary and wrong. On the contrary, the other 007-games have a - between 007 and the subtitle.

Your edit to Disney's: Goofy's Fun House was rejected.
Game: http://vgcollect.com/item/58752
Field: Name
New Value: Goofy's Fun House
And
Field: alt_name
New Value: Disney's Goofy's Fun House
---
The Parent Title is set without "Disney's", and "Disney's" is so small printed that it looks more like a branding than a part of the title. Therefore, the title would be more correct by removing "Disney's" from the main title - but adding it to the alternative title.
Reference: http://www.defconsoft.co.uk/database.php?clas=1&game=1129
Example: http://vgcollect.com/item/58773

EDIT: As examples show in the style guide (btw, the linking to that guide from the notification-page is broken, you get sent to the notification-page again instead of the style guide) i COULD approve with entry 1 and 2 being denied. But entry 3, I really think that would've and should've gone trough. :)

I was the one that rejected those. If for no other reason but clarity did I reject the first two. The last one was a necessary reject. The game specifically states Disney's Goofy's fun house. If you want to delete the Disney's part for an alternate name, that would be acceptable.

I certainly do see your point, but what I also have in mind are the complications that could occur, which would break the standard formating.

A title like Goofy's example is perfectly fine and would work, if it weren't for games like i.e. Disney's Hercules Action Game. "Action Game" is not written on the cover as a part of the main title and are therefore to be taken as a subtitle - making the title (following Goofy's example) to be like "Disney's: Hercules: Action Game".. and that looks way wrong in my eyes :)

EDIT: The game as reference http://vgcollect.com/item/49497 (yeah, the cover is in German, which is noted to change into EU/EN).

The game you mentioned should be Disney's Hercules. Action game part is just a description of the game, not part of the actual name.

As of this moment, Im trying to help out with the edits cause of busy schedules on a lot of the admin. Whether Matt decides to make it an official thing or not is up to him. :)

I went back and looked at some of the other Disney games such as Chip and Dale and Duck Tales and a lot of those do not list the Disney in the title ... so for consistancy sake, if you resubmit them as you originally did, I will accept them.

Thanks for taking your time to dig such deep into this, the data regarding Goofy's Fun House is now resubmitted. Much appreciated!
