Sorry about that, I'll keep that in mind if the need arises. I'm not very familiar with the forums, and somehow managed to overlook the pinned threads up top.

No worries! Welcome to the site. I've merged your topic with the Duplicate thread so that the admins can see it. Thanks for letting us know about the dupe :)

Change Rejected, but it's a duplicate, which is was trying to fix
« Reply #348 on: August 29, 2017, 08:08:45 pm »
So I created Yakuza Kiwami - Steelbook Edition (https://vgcollect.com/item/131585) some days ago.
The other entry was https://vgcollect.com/item/131585 and didn't have Steelbook in it (the picture was that of the steelbook, but the actual item wasn't).
After I created the Steelbook version, somebody else was allowed to change the "normal" version to a Steelbook version.

So I wanted to change my entry to the "normal" version, but apparently this was rejected.

Now there is a duplicate entry (which wasn't there when I created my version, but whatever), which I am not allowed to fix.

Can somebody please have a look at this again.

This should be the "normal", non-steelbook version: https://vgcollect.com/item/131585
This should be the Steelbook version: https://vgcollect.com/item/118855

I already messaged the one other guy who put my original steelbook version in his collection to change to the other one.

I would either delete https://vgcollect.com/item/131585
I don't care anymore, I have the steelbook version anyway, I did it to help the database and remove the duplicate. That other guy WAS allowed to change the title of the other release and created a duplicate that way (when I submitted my release there, there wasn't a Steelbook version) but apparently I am not allowed to change my OWN submission to fix the mess I didn't create.

An other solution (and what I was trying to do) is just change https://vgcollect.com/item/131585 to the "normal", non-steelbook version.

I don't understand why it was rejected, but the way it is now, there is an unnecessary duplicate and apparently I am not allowed to fix/remove it.

Heya mrmette,

I'm going to move this over to our duplicates thread so one of the other admins will see it and be able to address the issue. Thanks for explaining it all! This happens with new releases sometimes. Thanks and welcome to the forums!

Thank you very much. I didn't really know what else to do any more instead of posting it on the forums.
I should have seen this post and posted it here.
I am contributing to the discogs website for some years now, but of course everything is somewhat different here. So I am still trying to figure out how everything works.

I don't understand why it was rejected

We can't see everything from the edit panel. Not gods nor mothmen :(

I can't find a picture of the EU regular version for PS4, so unless it is confirmed, it shouldn't be put into the db.

here you go. I uploaded a picture of the regular version (without the blue borders).
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yakuza-Kiwami-Standard-Edition-PS4/dp/B074H2X7PF/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1504106767&sr=8-3&keywords=yakuza+0+ps4

Btw, I understand you can't know and see everything. No harm done. I was somewhat triggered when I wrote my post (not only because of this, some other stuff as well), so I apologize if I was too harsh.

Edit: Found the image without borders:
Got it from the Dutch webshop bol.com:
https://s.s-bol.com/imgbase0/imagebase3/extralarge/FC/9/4/6/9/9200000080019649.jpg
here is the URL to the version: https://www.bol.com/nl/p/yakuza-kiwami-ps4/9200000080019649
You can choose between Standard Edition and Limited Edition.

Edit 2:
I see you deleted the entry.
That's fine with me as well. I am sure people will add it again when the Steelbook editions sell out.
Imo it is fixed now.
Thanks for helping!

Those are stock photos, unfortunately not a proof that something exists. You can put that entry into the database still, but if it turns out that version doesn't exist, then the entry would get removed in the future.

Sure, no problem. I don't really need to have that edition in the DB. I just wanted to remove the duplicate. I don't think most people will buy the non Steelbook version as long as that one is sold, so I expect it to be added later if it exists.
You fixed my problem by removing the entry, so that's fine with me. Thanks for helping!

The creator of that dupe has been adding a bunch of entries lately.

https://vgcollect.com/item/131807
https://vgcollect.com/item/131808

Dunno if Tera already exists or not but the first is a blank entry and the 2nd one only has a cover art. Maybe it's time to rename the Submit New Item button or put some flashing text on the subsequent page to alert these people better?

This one cost me $25 today :(

https://vgcollect.com/item/2711 -> Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
https://vgcollect.com/item/106042 -> Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island



The latter version's title ("Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island") is (IMHO) technically correct and it is also the more consistent naming with the other "Super Mario Advance..." titles in the database, as you would expect (Eg. there is no "Super Marios Bros. 3 Super Mario Advance 4", but there is a correct "Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3").

Confused yet?  Thank Nintendo!

The first entry is correct because the text starts with Yoshi's Island, then follows with SMA3. I know it's stupid and doesn't make sense, but we gotta follow the style of the box here.
