Use this topic to report issues with Items. Examples include:
- Items with mismatching pictures/information
- Physical item cancelled and not released
- Item has watermarked or photoshopped images
- Invalid items in the database
- Any concerns about rejected edits
- Any explanations about an edit you want to do so that it won't be rejected
When you post about an item, include the current title, a link to the item in question and a description for the report. Do not edit posts to add additional content to it, make a new post instead.
When a report is processed, a member of DB staff will use the strikeout text effect on the link so that you, and we, know that the item has been handled already.

In addition to the numerous listings for iOS that weirdfeline above me has already pointed out, several dozen more iOS and Android games are scattered throughout the "Other" category sub-section. Listed below are only a few.

Edit to add [AS] for Asian region to the title was rejected for incorrect information, even though it was released there. The product name is the same as the Japanese release, so adding [AS] might make the difference between the two entries clearer.

Source: https://www.play-asia.com/playstation-vita-memory-card-64gb/13/7076ap
The title and item number for this entry should contain ZA11 instead of ZX11. PCH-2006 ZX11 does not exist.
https://vgcollect.com/item/140119

Not sure what the product code for the black North American PCH-2001 should be. I have not been able to confirm the color code.
https://vgcollect.com/item/130968
I thought this entry was supposed to be PCH-1101 ZA01, but as my edit was rejected I am posting here in search the correct product code. The barcode also seems to be really obscure.
https://vgcollect.com/item/23226
This is PCH-1101 AA01 which also includes accessories and a game so it cannot be that unless Sony used the same product code twice.

[AS] is American Samoa, that is why it was rejected.
Regarding PCH-1101 AA01, it was indeed used twice. One is for the system itself, and then the code was also used in the Pack.
PCH-2001 item code is ZX11.

If you are going to be taking up this task of fixing up the consoles, Ebay is going to be your friend.

What TLD should I use for the Asian memory card instead? I can't find definite information in the style guide. Looking at the text written on the box, the memory card seems to be released in at least Korea and a Chinese-speaking country (probably Taiwan/Hong Kong/Singapore).
Should entry 23226 be put up as PCH-1101 AA01? Because the First Edition Bundle has the edition added to the title, there won't be title overlap.
I have been looking around eBay (and Yahoo Auctions for Japanese releases) a bit, but not good enough it seems. ::)

It appears to be a Korean item:

I have it on my list to look at 23226 today.

There aren't many PCH-1101 releases. And after looking at things, I do not see the need of putting the entire part number into the item title. So the AA01 has been removed from the 3 entries we have, which are:
Walking Dead: https://vgcollect.com/item/47672
First Edition Bundle: https://vgcollect.com/item/22643
$55 Bonus Value: https://vgcollect.com/item/23226
Normally when attempting to correct game entries, we can also just "go back" to whatever the entry was supposed to be. For EU releases we would defer to a UK release. However, this can't always be used and especially not in worldwide categories like hardware and accessories. So despite the fact that the UPC of 711719221319 was added to 23226 after the entry was created, it has been on there for 7 years, so that is why 23226 is now the $55 Bonus Value release. Ref: https://ebay.com/itm/274148625187
Other releases of PCH-1101 not in the db are the plain box version (the one that was available on its own and is also the inner box from the First Edition Bundle) and the $40 Bonus Value box. Both the $55 and $40 appear to use the same "box" but have different UPC because those are on labels. I was unable to find the UPC for the $40 Bonus Value box. And since this UPC for the $55 Bonus Value shows up as a Walmart item, it is likely (but not confirmed) that it is a Walmart exclusive, and it is likely that the $40 box is a different store exclusive and would have a different UPC. Also there might be some Packs that use PCH-1101 boxes, I didn't bother looking at those.

Ok, well. I just want to fix up existing entries and then for starters add the Japanese releases, which information is more readily available for.

Oh, no, it's okay! Just thought I could use it as a placeholder (instead of the default "NO ART" thumbnail) until I get the game to scan the front cover later.

Just wanting to double check before I submit a mass of updates:
The ACA NeoGeo titles, how should those be formatted?
ACA NeoGeo King of Fighters '95 is what I'm thinking, but I'm seeing a few with a colon after NeoGeo and few with NEOGEO. I want to get these uniform across each other.

My edits to these NGPC games were rejected, so I'd appreciate it if someone could give them a closer look.
https://vgcollect.com/item/38840 (https://vgcollect.com/item/38840) and https://vgcollect.com/item/38634 (https://vgcollect.com/item/38634) have the title wrong.
"Biomotor Unitron" is only two words, not three. In Japanese it's two verb groups which they englishize to "Baiomōtā Yunitoron".
(We have the title correct on the US version's entry: https://vgcollect.com/item/13463 (https://vgcollect.com/item/13463))
We have the sequel listed as having the same title but hyphenated with the number two after it: https://vgcollect.com/item/38714 (https://vgcollect.com/item/38714).
This sequel was a Japanese only release, but their title "Kikou Seiki Unitron" translates roughly to "Armor Chronicles Unitron" and does not include the word Biomotor/Baiomōtā or a numeral in the title any way you choose to translate it.
I would propose that the two word "Biomotor Unitron" title be used with the first game and the three word "Kikou Seiki Unitron" title be used on the JP sequel.
https://vgcollect.com/item/162694 (https://vgcollect.com/item/162694) should be deleted.
https://vgcollect.com/item/26676 (https://vgcollect.com/item/26676) is the correct entry.
The US release of "Puzzle Bobble Mini" was entitled "Bust-a-Move Pocket", while the European and Japanese releases retained the original title (so, https://vgcollect.com/item/38871 (https://vgcollect.com/item/38871) and https://vgcollect.com/item/38751 (https://vgcollect.com/item/38751) are correct.).

Ref: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ngpc/196761-bio-motor-unitron/data
Respectfully, I disagree. Gamefaqs has it wrong.
The text on the game cartridge and box, the Wikipedia article Gamefaqs themselves links to (and all of the sources cited in the Wikipedia article), Moby Games, and almost every other source I can find agree that "Biomotor" is written as just one word.
'Bio' is not an english word; it is a prefix derived from the greek word Bios, meaning life. Biology is its study, bioluminescence is when it makes light, bioengineering is when we intentionally manipulate it, and when we write about it it's a biography... but there is no word Bio. I already explained how it's not a word in Japanese either, and how their englishization of it also utilized the syllables just like a prefix and definitely not as a stand-alone word.
So now I'll take it one step further and assert that according to the "Official Gazette of the United States Patent and Trademark Office: Trademarks, Volume 1233, Issue 2" the Yumekobo game development studio told the U.S. government that it was one word.
But whatever; this is just a free online video game collectors' database so clearly I've already put too much effort into justifying this correction. Thanks anyways! ;D
-
We decided on the naming rules so that we didn't have to have to actually learn all of the languages that games are printed in.
Other than following the guidance I already posted, the other options are to get GameFAQs to correct their listings, or if you want you can call for a common name exception vote here.

The Style Guide doesn't actually make it clear. Such a disallowance is present in the Steam-specific rules. I've been thinking that the Steam rules should be folded into the Digital game rules that are in the Style Guide, but it never really came up.
Make it official if you'd like, post about the conflicting rules between Steam and other digital games here:
https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,8361.0.html
It should be fairly straight-forward and we could get a poll up quite quickly to vote on making the change.
-
I could have sworn that DLC used to be a part of the style guide but maybe I'm misremembering.
At any rate, I think DLC can be added into the notes of an individual's item rather than making them separate entries.
-
The biggest issue I see is how to delineate between something like these fighters / horse armor and something more robust like Undead Nightmare or The Witcher 3 DLCs - or does that even matter?

I believe Undead Nightmare is standalone. Any standalone DLC should be accepted since it's pretty much it's own game. Much like Call of Duty Warzone that released today. It's part of Modern Warfare but was released separately and playable without owning Modern Warfare.

I can't tell if the picture in that item has GH next to the item name either. I don't think it does, but it's hard to make out.
EDIT: That same image is already on the black label entry in the DB https://vgcollect.com/item/6578

OK disc image removed.
Those back images on both of those entries need to be replaced.

Yeah, I'll see what I can find

They shouldn't have "original" and "variant" in the name. Submitted another edit.

Just had a listing rejected for a UK version of Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion because it says the listing already exists.
The only EU version i could find listed was a Spanish version, with the Spanish subtitle.
Does this mean that if the versions are both EU but have different box arts and languages that they stay as the same listing?
Sorry if i've caused any confusion, just started listing my games and am unsure as to the ins and outs of the site at the moment :)

Was also just about the add Battle Princess Madelyn PS4 NA kickstarter version, but am now worried that it'll get rejected to.
My argument is that the LRG version and the kickstarter version are different because the kickstarter version has a reversible cover.
Would this likely be rejected as well?
-
I'm not following you. Is this the Adventure Time item you made?
https://vgcollect.com/item/176055
If the reject you mean is that you tried to put [UK] in the name, and this was rejected, is normal. A UK game in an EU category should not have [UK] in the title unless there is a different European English version that was also released. If you try to put [UK] onto a title, 99% of the time you will get an edit rejection that says "information already on file."
For Battle Princess Madelyn PS4 NA. There are 3 versions that I can tell.
- white cover
- dark cover
- box
What I do not know is if the white or dark cover is what is inside of that box. So there is the possibility of there being 2 or 3 entries for this in the db.

No the problem that i had with the listing for Adventure Time was that the only EU copy i could find listed on this site, was a fully French cover with the French subtitle. I initially thought it was Spanish.
The game is called Adventure Time Pirates of The Enchiridion
The French version is called Adventure Time Les Pirates de la Terre de OOO
So i made a version for the EU with the title Adventure Time Pirates of The Enchiridion and put [UK] in the titles, since it seems like each region in the EU (UK was included in the EU at the time) had different covers depending on what language was used.
But it now seems like my listing has made it back onto the site, someone has taken the [UK] bit off the titles, and now that's ok?
https://vgcollect.com/item/176055
So it seems like my listing wasn't removed but altered? Very odd :/
As far as i'm aware with the case of Battle Princess Madelyn, the kickstarter varient had a reversible cover that the LRG version did not. I will do some research and modify this post as a find more info. If anyone else has info, please let me know :)
EDIT: The LRG version is the white cover. However when they packed the kickstarter backer copies, they also put the white cover out on the front when they sealed them. The kickstarter exclusive version has a reversible cover, the kickstarter cover (Madelyn in the foreground, with her ghost dog near her legs) and on the reverse the LRG cover (the white cover).
So in short, kickstarter version is reversible, LRG version is white cover only.
Which means that if most people want to actually see there kickstarter varient cover, you'll have to unseal it to reverse it yourself.
>.<
EDIT 2: It also means that the listing for Battle Princess Madelyn PS4 should have 2 listings, and the one that's currently on the site is the kickstarter exclusive version and not the LRG one.

Urgh i've also just notice that i added an Alekhine's gun EU PS4 version to the list when there already is one.
Sadly when you try and search Alekhine's Gun in the search bar, nothing appears until you type the full word 'Alekhine's', and even when i tried to add an EU PS4 version it told me that there was no other listing for it, so i figured 'hey someone's not added this, i'll do the site a favour and add it myself'.
How wrong i was :/
Seems like you have to search for the full title, word for word, with added punctuation (including things like umlauts) to even get them to appear in the search bar. Urgh, just adding games to my collection is going to be harder than i thought.
Any way someone can remove my extra Alekhine's Gun EU version from the site?
I'll be far more careful and thorough going forward.
I apologise for any and all inconvenience to those that run the site.

There is still some lack of consensus on how we are treating these dual cover art releases from LRG and Hard Copy Games, and how they are named, too.

Your first visit to the site of the day, if you had checked the box to "remember me" when you login, will redirect you to the activity feed. So you may have to click a link twice.
For searching, using your example, you can search like so:

Ok, thanks for clarifying. I was told that games from Hard Copy Specifically (but also LRG) had their own names based on their website listings, but it's been my understanding that these listings do not say (Original Cover) or (Alternate Cover) on the box so we can't put that designation in the title.
So for this game I had one edit accepted to change the name and one rejected

In general, terms like "original cover" and "variant cover" are going to be rejected on an edit, even if put into alt-name field. To alieviate this, put into the description where this name comes from, at the same time as trying to put a marketing name into alt-name. Such as "this item was sold on 'x company's website' as 'this dumb name'..."

It seems the normal release is en-gb/fr-fr languages for the AU release.
I can find the es-es language AU release only being sold on Ebay Spain.
In Ebay Italy, there is an it-it language AU release however there is an SAIE label present.
For this Spanish language version to be able to be put into EU category, it would need to have an import label present, or some documentation that it was actually sold. TLD is not reflective of what language is on the case. Language would use ICU locale codes, but we do not currently use them on the site.

Are all DLC releases of games supposed to have a dash or a colon? I ask because the dash in this entry was changed to a colon
https://vgcollect.com/item/130300
but my understanding is that it needs a dash because there is a standard release of this game as well. The Fire Fades Edition is a separate all-DLC release
https://vgcollect.com/item/105377
EDIT: The style guide states that Games denoting Special/Limited Editions, Box Sets, re-release series and/or special packs have a dash, which is what this game is.
-
It should be a dash. I don't remember why it was changed on that one entry.

Should these games have (Not for Resale) removed from the name since they are all unique entries in the section?
Example:
https://vgcollect.com/item/127025
Not sure where this should go, but it's not a demo and it's not a game that you could play either. It just served to provide customers with a download Pokemon

https://vgcollect.com/item/22874
I would think for Tetris DS, since it is a demo and unique to that section, that the "Not for Resale" should be removed since it doesn't need that identifier to be unique. For Pokémon: Zoroark Distribution Cart, I think leaving it as a demo is the best choice. The only other thing to do is to label it as an accessory, which would probably be a decent option too.
-
For Tetris DS, is this actually a demo or an NFR? If it is not a demo it should go into the main game category. If it is a demo, it doesn't need "Not for Resale" descriptor but that should be in the alt-name.
For the Pokemon item, it is considered "software" and should be in the games category.
But I will say that non-game media for consoles is not really concise on where those items go. Like, what allows an item to be in a game category and not the accessory category? I'm thinking about other things that are in either, like media adapter discs (Game Boy player, Saturn VCD, etc) or Car License and the like. Certainly not things like RAM/ROM carts or Everdrive type things which are clearly accessories.
-
I would say because Tetris DS had not received a rating yet by the ESRB that it's a demo. There are other games in that category that do have their ESRB rating so for those I'm not sure.
-
A demo meaning that it is not a full game, that it has a time or score limit or something like that. I don't think the lack of rating has anything to do with whether something can be a demo or not.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories [EU] PS2

First seem to be duplicates but if you check edit history [EU] version had UK covers edited to it by vivigamer and barcode/item number/rating changed by tripredacus.
On the other hand [UK] versio rating is ELSPA???
-
Merged as dupe. Remaining listing: https://vgcollect.com/item/57482
A lot of EU titles end up being franken-entries, or a generic entry (presumed UK) is changed in some way to a non-UK release. Then we would default the info back to UK pics/data. Dupes get created this way at times, especially because we aren't always using category views to find these items in the first place.

https://vgcollect.com/item/157209
The name is ok as it is, because the text in the descriptor (partially) matches text on the packaging.
Although, it can also be converted to full TLD instead, and put those countries names into box text.

There is no difference between the original Shovel Knight and Treasure Trove. I had the original Shovel Knight on my 3DS, but it got changed to Treasure Trove after an update. It's the same case with the other digital versions of the game.
Around the release of this new campaign, all existing versions of Shovel Knight, on all platforms, will become Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove! With three full-fledged character campaigns, Challenge Mode, local co-op, Body Swap, and somehow even more content on the way– Shovel Knight’s adventure has expanded considerably since the original release. Along with the change, the price of Shovel Knight will increase to $24.99 in March.

There is no difference
And then you prove what is different.
It would seem the original version is no longer available. So then the question is, do we keep the old and new versions or not have the old version anymore?
Can you find an example in the db where we keep two different version entries?
Here is one, for Steam platform.
1. Duke Nukem 3D: https://vgcollect.com/item/92864
2. Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition: https://vgcollect.com/item/40913
3. Duke Nukem 3D 20th Anniversary World Tour: https://vgcollect.com/item/136998
In that scenario, #1 and #2 are no longer on the store. #1 was part of #2 and #3. Should we then merge 1 and 2 with 3?
Does this scenario not count because the app ids for each are all different, so then they can have separate entries? Then if so, did Shovel Knight's app id change when the new version came out?
Or an example where a Steam game had one appid that did not change, but had different versions. That would be when Next Car Game got renamed/released as Wreckfest. This isn't a great example because the db has a franken-entry for it, but I was able to confirm that Next Car Game's original appid (228380) is the current appid of Wreckfest.

IIRC regarding Shovel Knight, Shovel Knight became Shovel Knight Treasure Trove. No new ID, no new release, just the entry on the store changed. If you bought Shovel Knight and look at your download history, it no longer lists Shovel Knight, it lists Shovel Knight Treasure Trove.
If there are two entries, 1 for Shovel Knight and 1 for Shovel Knight Treasure Trove, I would just merge the two entries.

OK this is a franken entry. What was the original front art? If it was the AU cover, it would have been better to move the entry into the AU category because the front art was from the item submitter.
The front art that you put is from the Italian version (Solo su PlayStation) sans SAIE label.
It appears UK never got a PSP Essentials. There is a "European English" release. It is one of the "yellow dot" releases, and example can be seen here: https://ebay.com/itm/123850004557

I was under the impression it would be better to keep it in the category it is and change the image. Since 13 people have this game in their collections they added the EU version willingly.
Sorry about that, I'll try to find an better European English release image since that one has a giant sticker on it.

We respect the intent of the original creator. If you had created an item in the db, added it to your collection, even if the item was put in the wrong section, how would you feel if someone had come along and changed all of the information on it? Would you care that 12 other people put the then altered item in their collection?
We can say to the people who added something into their collection... say AU game in EU section, that if they cared which version they had, they wouldn't add an AU game into their collection right? So if the AU game gets moved to the AU category because it was originally made in the wrong place, or because the EU game wasn't present, users can then change their collection info if they want.
If it was originally a generic entry that was frankensteined, then OK we could keep it in the EU category and make it the UK or European English version. That doesn't apply if actual data (such as pictures) is present when the item is created. Obviously, the info would need to match. IF the original images were mismatched, then we would have to choose what to make it into to fix it.
We can see from item edit history what came with the entry. For that one, we know the front/back was created with the entry and that the barcode was added later (and, doesn't match the barcode as seen on back image).
So again, if the original front art was AU, it should be replaced or we can remove the Italian front art you put, then remove the barcode and move the entry into AU category.

I would be more upset if someone wrongly changed the region of my item as compared to changing the image. The region is far, far more important. I don't think regions should be changed at all once the item is in someone's collection. It's too messy. And it's ultimately not our concern if the creator gets upset over that because they made a mistake putting in conflicting data to begin with.
We don't really know the intent of the original creator. They may have intended for it to be an EU release and put in the wrong art by accident (I put in the wrong art by accident trying to edit the item after all ;) ). In fact, I scrolled through 20 pages of that user's collection and only found 4 AU games. 90% of that person's collection is either EU or no region. And all the people who have that item are either EU dominated or a mix of regions.
So ultimately we have to GUESS what the original user intended the item to be, because it isn't clear. Because it's not clear, I would rather keep the item where it is. Because either way we have to make people change their collection, and from a practicality standpoint, it's simply better to force 1 person to change their collection as opposed to 12. I mean, what if hundreds of people had this item in their collection? That just doesn't seem right.
But while I disagree that this is the correct path to take, I can submit do the edits to make this an AU release because it looks like their location is Australia based on their forum profile. I have an image of the EU yellow dot release so I can edit the AU entry I made to be in the EU category. It's just more work on our end to remove all the EU data from this release and then move the two items across platforms.

We don't really know the intent of the original creator.
This is no different to how a library would operate. They do not conform the card catalog to the users. They would not put a book in a wrong section because somebody had come by once and moved it, even if 13 people kept moving a specific book to the wrong shelf.
We base the intent by the origin data. The important aspects are the art selected, item number and barcode. If this origin data is not present and was then added later and it resulted in a franken entry, then yes we would reach out to someone who had it in collection to verify what they own and fix the entry. This happens all the time behind the scenes.
If this entry was created as a "blank" or title-only entry, and AU pictures were added later, then yes, we would change the entry to the "yellow dot" release. It wasn't. The item was created with AU pictures, so the item should be moved to AU category. It is not uncommon that EU people add AU games to EU categories, because of the simple fact that you can find AU games in EU because they were imported. You can find AU games on the various EU Ebays quite easily. It is no different from other real-world examples such as EU SMS or Atari games being available in the secondary market in the US, and people have added those EU releases to NA categories here. At least the SMS categories have been fixed in this regard, but the Atari console cart sections still have EU games in NA.
What I really wish for tho, is that there could be some sort of notification system (opt-in of course) where if you have an item in your collection and it had its box art, barcode or category changed, that you could get a notification of it. Then you could adjust your collection if you wanted to in case you had added an item by mistake, or maybe you added a franken entry that got fixed, etc.
EDIT: yes, change your entry you made to the EU yellow dot if you have the art, move to EU category.
I will take care of the other entry now.

Hi!
You should be able to edit it yourself by clicking on the "edit this item" option on the top right of the record. Once you edit the item, it'll be sent to a queue for the moderators to approve or deny. If they deny your change, you can post to the Error Listings thread (https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,10555.0.html) to get the attention of a mod there. Hope that helps!

This is an example of a major problem we have with the database. The fact that our database layout does not match the actual online platform. Because of the fact that you can also get that from the PSN for PS3 is the issue. So this is a situation where dupes are currently allowed to exist. Either the categories need to be reworked or we need specific rules as for where the cross-platform games should be put. I personally do not like that there is a PSOne Classics category to begin with, I don't think it is the correct way to store this information.

Mobygames used to have a watermark on their images but removed it a few years ago. I do not know what art you tried to put, but any mobygames marked image can be replaced with whatever image is on their site now. In other words, it is better to use their new image to replace their old image instead of using a photo.
The barcode appears to be from a Scandinavian release, as I can get text results from Finnish websites, but I am not able to get to any of them for some reason.

They are allowed for now until we can establish the following:
- find an example of a non-game on the platform that we should track
- find an example of a non-game on the platform that we should definitely not track
Youtube does not really fit into either of these categories.
For the "not track" situation, think about programs for other consoles (not computers) that we do not track such as productivity software. I have no idea what is on those storefronts.

I have a physical British release of "Call of Duty 2 - Game of the Year," however, there's one in the database that exists already:
https://vgcollect.com/item/98618
and it is an EU non-UK release, since this existing release has PEGI ratings on it's cover art, while the one I have has a BBFC 15 age rating on the art. The description for the existing one also says "NOT FOR SUPPLY IN THE UK."
I would like to add my release to the database, but I'm not sure how to handle it, since UK releases don't need to be labeled as such according to the style guide and this existing one has no label, but isn't a UK release. The best information I could find about the potential country of this existing release is it being from Netherlands, according to some images from MobyGames:

These images seem to match the ones on the existing release, making me believe it is from the Netherlands as listed on those images, however, there's not much info on the country other than what was contributed with these images, so it could be another country too, but I'm fairly sure it is non-UK at least due to reasons listed prior.
The barcode and item numbers on my copy are also different from this existing one, but besides the barcode, item numbers and the age rating listed, the art is largely the same from what I can gather, with minor differences in regards of positioning of elements on the disc art. The disc of my copy has a BBFC rating, placed on the right, rather than left compared to this release.

Ok the problem with that particular entry is that while Mobygames says it is NL release, and you can find it on Ebay NL, you can also find it in other countries. Without a clear indication that the game is an NL release and not a general EU release, we can't just put NL onto the name of that one. Perhaps there is something in the manual of that particular version that gives a better indication, or perhaps a sealed copy has a label that helps. Until it can be determined, that will have to stay that way.
So for your UK release with the BBFC rating on it, you can make a new entry and name it Call of Duty 2 - Game of the Year [UK].

Yes, in general there should not be 1 entry to handle multiple variants.
The only time that we would allow an entry like that is to handle variants that are beyond the box and cart.
For example, when I was researching all of the Genesis variants, there was some releases that had the same box and cart, but had different inserts. Where there were two releases but the only difference was a different poster or a different registration card. Also some where same box+ cart but could be color or b/w manual. This is why there are Genesis variants on the spreadsheet that aren't in the DB. It is also why many of the EU releases for Mega Drive games are not in the DB, where the only difference between one country and UK release is a different manual... or an additional localised manual.
When it comes to variants, typically like to stick to the variant revolving around the box or the media itself. If it is something besides those two things, then it doesn't need another entry.

Gamefaqs has nothing to do with it. The guidelines we established with Japanese games is that English takes priority on the box.
And if we're just not following those guidelines anymore (which are still referenced in your language thread) then I'd ask for a name exception for all Japanese Pokemon games. We have the same kind of exceptions for roman numerals (like with BO IIII), it should also be the case for non-english games with English on the cover.
All my edits to fix the 3DS games when they were changed were accepted, so at the very least there's inconsistency here.
-
The language thread is not the rules. The Style Guide (both the existing thread in this section, and the advanced one which is in progress) are the rules.
The community voted to use common names for game titles, which is irrespective of what text is actually on the item itself. Particularly so we wouldn't have to have debates or have to think about what to name items.
If you want, we can make a common name exception vote, post into this thread (https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,8361.0.html) with the naming convention you propose, and we can make a poll for the community to decide.

There's literally a link to that thread in the style guide two times. How is that thread even remotely not part of the rules for naming?
Additional rules for (in)definite articles are located here: https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,7316.0.html
Use the item's commonly accepted regional release title, written in the language written on the case, but in the Latin alphabet (the letters we commonly use.)
Latin characters thread: https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,7316.0.html
And as far as I'm aware, half of the name exceptions were not made with any community involvement, least of all a formal poll where people voted. BLOPS IIII and MM Legacy Collection 1+2 were not. There are other games that aren't even in the exception list like RDR II. Because we as a community already decided on the naming convention for non-latin games, and the fact that it's already part of the rules (or at the very least integrated into the rules as such), I see no reason why we need to have another formal poll on it. But, if that's what the community wants to do, I'll concede.

It was only meant to specifically refer to the ASCII codes and the foreign language (in)definite articles portion of the first post, not the contents of the entire thread. I will copy that info out of that thread and into its own post on the Style Guide page.

Oh ah and I see the link to your post about naming Japanese games. Unfortunately, that was overriden by the common names vote, in general. However, it can still be valid for titles of items not from a naming source, or for alt-name field usage.
- Removed the Mega Man Legacy Collection exemption.
- Reformatted the Style Guide to contain the information rather than link to a discussion topic.
- Will create a post on the Advanced Style Guide for ASCII characters and codes.
- set pending the roman numerals rule on the Advanced Guide
- will call a vote on whether we should always use a roman numerals override on common names (would effect both the Black Ops 4 and Resident Evil 7 common name exemptions which were not voted for)

The Pokemon games are not going to be the only problem, there are other games with English and a Japanese equivalent that don't match up.
For example
https://vgcollect.com/item/98212
GF name is Kirby no Air Ride
It's very frustrating to see that now that I've brought this up "oh sorry, that whole naming convention doesn't count anymore". It's been part of the style guide for years.
-
And when the original poll was made, you specifically stated it would not change how we do transliteration, which is what led me to believe that our previous naming conventions would be left intact, as this was mainly pertaining to stylization of the name, not what words/language we should be using.
This poll is specifically to put into the Style Guide what names for games we should actually be using. This is to clarify the "regional release title" as specified in the Style Guide. This will not change any of our existing formatting rules for descriptors, packs, TLDs or transliteration. This is due to the current inference that items in the database need to use the full front title, using blanket conditions created by the practice of putting Disney/Pixar onto titles where they commonly are not used on other websites. This had led to confusion among many as to what names should actually be used on games, as often the name a game is known as does not match what is printed on the cover.
-
I'm fully aware of the situation. The common names vote also invalidated most of the entries I made for the Japanese Sega releases, and we still haven't gotten around to fixing those. I didn't vote for using this naming convention, but the poll clearly indicated we had to use it. It is a concession we have to make as long as there is only 1 item name field. Ideally, we should have more than one item name field, and then let the users decide which one shows up by default for them. Then me and you can name things the way we like and those who want common names can have their way also.
EDIT: it doesn't change transliteration, as in what is needed to be done for items without common names. But if a release has a common name, users don't need to figure out how to translate a foreign title anymore. Only need to to transliteration if there is no common name.
EDIT2: transliteration also is done for pack/edition names and is still current.
EDIT3: for example, we would still use Genteiban instead of "Limited Edition" on an item that has a Japanese common name that includes a pack name. It was an attempt to limit people from creating edition descriptors like "First Print Limited Edition", "Launch Editon" or using the term Bundle.
-
haha, well, I'd certainly rather have this quandary then having to change every entry of Resident Evil 4 to "4 Resident Evil", or Trans Formers or all the other silly examples. :P This is a far, far better solution in my opinion. But neither is perfect.

Changing of an item number, especially a Nintendo number with -1/2 is an automatic reject, similar to those who try to change barcodes.
However, these two entries have the card item number on the main item number field, which are both wrong.
I have changed the Zelda item number. With the -1/2 variations, at least on US releases, the main item number doesn't change. It would only be the ones on the cart or potentially on the box flap.

If you put trade symbols into box text, you can see an "incorrect formatting" reject.
Also be aware that we can't see trade symbols (it shows a question mark) in the edit queue, so if we look at the text trying to be added and it looks like a trade symbol is present, we will do the reject.
The Namco Museum one I think I saw, had trade symbols after every name in the game list from the back cover.

https://vgcollect.com/item/182496 - there are several games that were made with [LAT] in the name. Should it be changed to [MX]?
-
I see tripredacus has corrected my entries that said (LATAM) to (LAT), which reflects the latin america region. I will be putting LAT for future entries in brackets. LAT, is more accurate the MX for Mexico, as the LAT region entries included many other Spanish speaking countries besides just mexico, throughout central america.
-
[LAT] not (LAT)
make sure to use the brackets
Don't put [LAT] on games just to be lazy, if they are not actually general Latin America releases. In general, you should refrain from adding an entry if you do not know the correct information. There may well be a [MX] version and a [LAT] version, or that actual [LAT] versions do not exist but there is just one general "cover artwork" and each country had their own labelling. In that case, there should not be a [LAT] entry if it can be helped.
It seems not to be the case with Gran Turismo 6. It has the same release in both Mexico and Argentina... however I could not find a picture of a sealed copy.
-
I have researched this area quite thoroughly and been looking at comparable titles between latin coutries. I can most reliably say when I have been placing [LAT] is it because multiple countries have had the same covers and I haven't seen different indicators on the cases, as variant examples of the same game. It is possible that other examples exist, but if that is the case, then stock for those items has been gone for many years. There is always some small element of uncertainty, because I was not looking at those other markets when the games originally released. However, with larger series such as Gran Turismo, we can reliably accept that large enough prints of certain games exist, and if one country still has a large amount left, then if another country were to have produced the game, some would likely also be left. There is some educated guessing involved as I can never say anything with absolute certainty. When making deductions like this, I continue to seek evidence to the contrary, and would update any listings if I found out otherwise.

To be clear, does this apply to the characters ®, ™, and ℠? I previously submitted some approved edits with some of those characters; should those entries be edited to remove the offending characters? Also, should those characters be omitted, or be transcribed in an ASCII-compatible manner (e.g. (R) (TM) (SM) )? Are there any other forbidden characters that I should avoid transcribing in the future?
-
Regarding [LAT] (and to be certain, psxlegacy posts [LAT] on the forum but still keeps putting (LAT) on items incorrectly), it should not be used as a guess. We do not want guesses in the database. It would be preferable to use actual country TLDs instead of a generic one. So with the Gran Turismo 6 option, [AR][MX] would be preferred over [LAT], or just [MX].
Trade symbols should not be put into box text unless there is a reason to do so. The only reason we currently have is to document variations, which is where the ℠ comes from, which is found in Sega Master System game variations.
Never use (R) in place of ® if you need to document this symbol in box text.

It comes down to us having had put [LAT] in the old TLD thread list at some point, so it is valid for us to use. But that being said, we shouldn't be using [LAT] if we don't have to. We should be using TLDs of confirmed countries where that specific version was sold, like we do for EU releases. What we don't want is a "guess" that the specific product is available in all Latin American countries without being able to confirm it. Because if any one of those countries actually has a release that uses an import label, then using [LAT] would become incorrect.
And just because a game case says that a game is able to be sold in a bunch of countries doesn't mean it actually is. As examples in the new guide where EU games with USK ratings aren't always sold in Germany or EU games with red Attention text isn't always sold in France. It is just that it is possible for them to be sold, at least as far as the official distribution or publisher is concerned. Or the example where NA releases with Frence/English/Spanish are sold in Latin America/Mexico but not in Canada. So basically we can't actually trust the box art completely.
Typically you can get confirmation of release countries by looking on those country's specific online classified sites, such as mercadolivre. You look for volume of a specific version vs others, as obviously we have a worldwide economy, versions from other regions can be bought and sold anywhere. But if a specific version appears more often than others, and that version is actually apparent to be released there, it is likely that it was sold there at retail. So using the GT6 example, we can make a safe bet that version was sold in Mexico and Argentina, but I did not go about and try to verify if it was sold in every country that the text on the case said it could be sold in.
So it comes down to how much work you want to put in. If you really want to dig through hours or research to confirm the info to verify all the appropriate TLDs or if [LAT] is appropriate, you can do it. But you aren't required. If you want to just confirm one or two, that's fine. Use [MX] or [AR][MX] or if you don't want to confirm any of it, maybe the item number is different on those versions and you can put that in as a descriptor instead. And then someone else can go about and do that research if they are so inclined.
In any case, we can use the description to note what the text says.

Right now, from what I have here, is basically PS3 and PS4, all of them with box text in Spanish, ESRB ratings, a "latam" URI in the web address box (this can vary depending of publisher), and most important, a legal text indicating that is distributed in "Mexico, Central and South America", "The Americas", or a laundry list of Latin American countries (some newer games exclude Venezuela due to the US embargo). These are different from Brazilian releases (ESRB and/or ClassInd rating, text in Portuguese)
Nintendo games for Latin America (I have only one, but I've seen it for localised releases for Pokemon back in the day) end up with a -LTN (Also come with packaging in Spanish and ESRB rating).

https://vgcollect.com/item/104082
I think this original listing for Revenge of The Bird King on PS4 should be altered to show just the cover the "Title only" on the cover, as there are two variants and I created a separate entry for the one with the "Bird Battle Scene".

Would not be called "First Print" unless that text exists on the item.
I know it is mentioned as existing on various sites, including Sega Retro, but it was never confirmed. Evidenced by the fact that the pic on the entry in the DB was for the other version. No listings of it on Ebay, RFGeneration or YAJ, no pictures on various image searches.
Ok I have merged the two entries as a dupe. Remaining this:
https://vgcollect.com/item/68823
I changed the title.
You can upload the art to this entry.
I was unable to confirm that HDR-0142 existed. If we find out it exists later, it can be recreated.
Seems that the one with the SA2 demo should be called a "First print" or something like that (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pso-includes-sonic-2-demo/1100-2642227/)
And it seems that HDR-0142 is a reprint (https://segaretro.org/Phantasy_Star_Online)

I think this is supposed to be set as PS4 [NA] and not PC. There may be a PC version but the cover art and UPC number are for the PlayStation release, so I think they may have just selected the wrong system by accident.

A few edits I made were rejected, specifically to the Reserve Editions released by Special Reserve Games. I changed the names of them all to "[name of game] - Reserve Edition" so that it would be uniform. The rejection reason was that the formatting was incorrect but as far as I can tell from reading the style guide that's the way they should be named. Am I missing something?
These are the relevant games: Minit (https://vgcollect.com/item/167498), The Messenger (https://vgcollect.com/item/159567), Hotline Miami Collection (https://vgcollect.com/item/178475), GRIS (https://vgcollect.com/item/160568), Enter the Gungeon (https://vgcollect.com/item/169283), Downwell (https://vgcollect.com/item/169777), and My Friend Pedro (https://vgcollect.com/item/182664)
Unrelated to the above, I also tried to change the name of LotRO: Mithril Edition (https://vgcollect.com/item/151729) to "Lord of the Rings Online, The: Mithril Edition" but this was rejected. The current name puts "Online" after the colon when the base game is called "The Lord of the Rings Online" and the package is called "Mithril Edition".
Thanks!

For the Special Reserve games, if "Reserve Edition" isn't printed on the packaging, it cannot be put into item title and only into description. I looked at a couple of those examples and didn't see this wording present. Maybe I missed it, if you can point out where this term is present, we can change the names.

LOTR: Edition formatting requires hyphen.
For the SRG titles, the packaging just has the name of the game, I was getting "Reserve Edition" from the website product pages. So all of the releases should just be the name of the game? I'll submit edits to reflect that then, as many of them have assorted things tacked onto the end.
For LotRO, I don't understand, where does the hyphen go? The style guide says "Expansion packs: The title of expansion packs should follow the main title and be separated by a colon." The main title is "The Lord of the Rings Online" and the expansion pack is "Mithril Edition" so shouldn't it be "Lord of the Rings Online, The: Mithril Edition"? If you're saying that the title of the base game is "The Lord of the Rings: Online", it isn't, there's no colon on any packaging or online materials, it is always referred to as "The Lord of the Rings Online". See their website (https://www.lotro.com/en/), the Steam page (https://store.steampowered.com/app/212500/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_Online/), and the Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_Online).
Also, my edit to My Friend Pedro (https://vgcollect.com/item/182664) to add a rating of ESRB - M was rejected for being incorrect, but I am holding the game and it says ESRB - M on it so I'm not sure how this could be incorrect.
Thanks!
-
LotR is an edition of the game that comes with an expansion, so it should be "Lord of the Rings Online, The - Mithril Edition". The colon is for a named expansion, not just if it includes one. You'll see the same thing with Goty editions that include expansions.

1. Item names should be reflective of the actual item. We cannot require people to know what an item is called on some website in order to identify what they have. This might not make sense currently for those items, but when thinking in general, if you were to buy an item from a store, get something in a trade or buy at garage sale, etc, you would have no idea that an item might have been sold on a website under a specific name at some point in the past. So, our titles should be done in a way that you can tell by holding the item in hand, which entry is correct.
For names, yes/no. Names should be unique per category, so if there are multiple releases a descriptor is required. Currently there are 3 entries for My Friend Pedro in Switch [NA] and they have no descriptors. Descriptors need to be added to each to clarify them.
2. For the rating on the linked entry, I verified on Ebay that the game does NOT have a rating on the packaging. There is a rating on the game case inside of the box, and that can be put into description. The entry for that boxed version should not have a rating on the entry.
-
Can anyone tell me why Pitfall II is called "David Crane's Pittfall II: Lost Caverns"?
The box says lists the name -- but the common name is just Pitfall II. (It may be listed with or without the subtitle.)
-
Name wasn't adjusted to meet the common name ruling.
For the C64 US release, the title should be Pitfall II: Lost Caverns and the full title can be put into alt-name.

Alright, I think I understand. If they need to have a descriptor though, why not just use "Reserve Edition" to make it uniform?
-

Already stated as to why.
-
Already stated as to why.
What I mean is, if there has to be a descriptor, why not use the one that is commonly used for the release, even if it's not on the packaging? Some of these say "Special Reserve Edition" or "Collector's Edition" in the title, and one just said "(black cover)". It seems to me that, seeing as these all go together as being the same type of release by the same publisher, that if they need a descriptor they might as well all use the same one, so which would be most appropriate?
-
The descriptor is a physical thing, not an in general thing. If a descriptor is needed, something relating to the physical item, either the box or the media, can be used.
Edition names work the same way. If the physical item (ie the box) has an edition name, it can be in the title. If it doesn't, then it can't be in the title. It can be put into description instead.
The data should be presented in such a way that the user is not required to know everything about the item. A user should be able to look at the item they have in hand and be able to tell which item to add to their collection without additional research. Using a descriptor or Edition name that is not physically present on the item does not help towards this goal. If they click into the entry, the description can provide additional details, and then the "trivia" portion that the item was sold online using a specific marketing term.

Hi,
This game Forza Motorsport 3 (Bundle Copy) [DK][FI][NO][SE] (https://vgcollect.com/item/155937)
...is clearly erroneously listed under the wrong platform: "PlayStation 3 [EU]"
Could someone move it to the correct platform?: "Xbox 360 [EU]"

You can change the platform yourself. There should be no reason why this would be rejected as it is clearly in the wrong category.
-
"You can change the platform yourself. There should be no reason why this would be rejected as it is clearly in the wrong category."
MY BAD.
Because when you create a DB entry the platform is locked from modification during editing -- I assumed the same must be true when trying to modify an entry.
Sorry to hassle. :)

Hey,
The front and back box arts of the Nintendo GameCube component cable are obviously not genuine: https://vgcollect.com/item/111702
For the most obvious part: I highly doubt Nintendo ever realased anything packaged in a transparent plastic bag labeled “Genuine Nintendo spare part.”
Yet, when I point this out and try to edit the item with scans of my own copy, I get rejected for “Incorrect information” for the front box art, “Incorrect box art” for the back one.
My scans are allegedly less 200px wide, in jpg format, and the largest in 840kB, way less than the 2MB limit; here they are:
(https://i.imgur.com/U9YeFXEm.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/U9YeFXE.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/sloa49hm.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/sloa49h.jpg)
I understand these scans aren’t the best one could get, but my copy is not in really great shape and, at least for the back box art, you will hardly find any other one online.
May I actually know why this gets rejected in favor of an obvious unofficial package, so that I can get it accepted?
-
It exists. Item conversion is not allowed.
The entry for the item you have there (apparently) does not exist in the db, you can create it as Nintendo Component Video Cable.

Well it could be legit, it could be a boot. I can't say, I don't own the item. But it does exist and importantly, it has its own packaging.
We allow entries for boots, so there is no problem with this one even if it was repackaged.

I was trying to get the Korean version of MeiQ for Vita (physical) put up, and I didn't realize the place I got the cover from was renascene, which ended up putting an incorrect image. I'm a little embarrassed considering they log Scene releases. I'll try not to let this happen again. :/

Using the calculator isn't required. Photos of the actual item confirm the correct barcode.
Also, we input the barcode as it appears on an item, even if the barcode is incorrectly printed. So in those instances, using the math may not be helpful.

https://vgcollect.com/item/143067 and https://vgcollect.com/item/63633 are called "Play it Pinball", while https://vgcollect.com/item/55871 and https://vgcollect.com/item/125426 are simply called "Pinball. Some might be duplicate too, I own the UK one with 5060057020289 barcode but the art on VGCollect shows the PEGI version instead of ELSPA rating one so I guess https://vgcollect.com/item/143067 and https://vgcollect.com/item/63633 artworks should be swapped.

Hey all. I tried editing the image for the Death end re;Quest 2 Limited Edition. Not sure if I did that properly or not.
Shows no image and no edit history. Tried and reloaded the page but still nothing. Could be in the queue yet though.
All good. It showed up.

I added the 5060015453531 barcode to https://vgcollect.com/item/60582 by mistake thinking it's the release I have while it was https://vgcollect.com/item/168804 which already had that barcode, please reject my edit :)
P.S. Is there a way to search the barcode directly from the site? I know you can scan a barcode and search through Android app, it would make it easier for me and avoided that mistake.

I recently tried editing the following two Super Famicom games and both were reject.
Chou Genjin
https://vgcollect.com/item/42783
and
Chou-Genjin 2
https://vgcollect.com/item/36696
The character 超 can indeed be read as chou (ちょう), however, both games of the PC Genjin (Bonk) series released for the Super Famicom are officially named in Japanese Super Genjin (超原人 - スーパーげんじん) and Super Genjin 2 (超原人 2 - スーパーげんじん 2) respectively, so I find it appropriate to edit their names to reflect the correct titles.

Hi Tripredacus
Thank you for your answer.
That's the point. Actually, the games' official names are Super Genjin and Super Genjin 2. Chou Genjin and Chou Genjin 2 should be the alt-names...
Once again, thank you for the reply.

I recently found out that Wii Sports has two standard variants with different disc numbers, packaging numbers, and box text. I had created a new listing for the missing variant earlier this afternoon and put in much effort in transcribing the heavy amount of text for both item listings. Now, the item listing I had created has been deleted. The item listing I had originally created was here (https://vgcollect.com/item/185073). Is there any reason why Wii Sports in particular cannot have two separate listings to detail the variances between them despite the three reasons listed above that give reason for it to exist?
Here (https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/207803-wii-sports-wii-other.png) is an image of the original listing's back packaging, with back item number C\RVL-RSPE-USA-2. This variant was packaged with the black Wii.
Here (https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/73765-wii-sports-wii-other.jpg) is an image of what was the variant listing's back packaging, with back item number 62022A. This variant was packaged with the white Wii.

re: https://vgcollect.com/item/42783
You can put the actual text in box text.
In description you can put the actual title like so "front title: 超原人 - スーパーげんじん" but you can't put in a translation there.
Alt-name should be 超原人 - スーパーげんじん, Super Genjin, Super Bonk
(box title, translation title, localised title)
Unfortunately, since this is so limited, I would not think it would be worth to create a common name exception, since that takes a community vote. Otherwise, if you can get GameFaqs to use the correct title, then we can use it here too.
We aren't interested in having to teach people how to read or translate foreign languages. Also it takes a burden off of site staff from having to weigh what is important for non-natives and native speakers, and having to have some sort of understanding of the language in question, translation, transliteration and romanization.
Fortunately (for native Japanese speakers) the common name rule only applies to releases that can be found on GameFAQs. Releases that are not, which then would have no point of reference, can be named in the way you are thinking.
But basically understand that when we say this about how titles should be put, we aren't saying that you are wrong. We just have to accept that the community is not that interested in correctness of titles. And the rules in the style guide are mainly to work around the site's limitations. For item names, we only have 1 thing we can put, so we have to make a rule about it. Otherwise, people would put a name in (maybe from the box, or the spine, or the title screen, or what it says on gamefaqs, or a romanization, or a translation, or a transliteration) and while it may be correct, someone would come along and change it to something else.

Yes, there are multiple versions of Wii Sports. In EU there are at least 4 and in the US there may be at least 2 also. I didn't see the entry, so I can't say. Another DB Admin must have done something to it.

My proposed edits (image, item number, barcode) to
Ore no Shikabane wo Koete Yuke - PlayStation [JP] (https://vgcollect.com/item/171623) were all denied to help differentiate this entry from its PlayStation the Best variant (https://vgcollect.com/item/132188). So, now the two entries both have the same front box art image despite the standard variant having a different front cover.
Hard Edge - PlayStation [JP] has three variants. Hard Edge (https://vgcollect.com/item/87683), Hard Edge - Value 1500 (https://vgcollect.com/item/185092), and Hard Edge - Collection Best (https://vgcollect.com/item/66308). I created Hard Edge - Value 1500. The other remaining non-standard variant (https://vgcollect.com/item/66308) was already created without the differentiation in its name, so I proposed such an edit to be made. However, this was also denied. While the front box art for Value 1500 and Collection Best are the same, the obi (https://psxdatacenter.com/images/covers/J/H/SLPS-02692/SLPS-02692-F-ALL.jpg) strips (http://psxdatacenter.com/images/covers/J/H/SLPS-03270/SLPS-03270-F-ALL.jpg) help differentiate these entries from another and give reason for my proposed edit of Hard Edge - Collection Best to be approved. Am I misunderstanding why such a proposed edit shouldn't be approved? Because now, there are two (https://vgcollect.com/item/87683) entries (https://vgcollect.com/item/66308) titled Hard Edge without any differentiation in their names. If the edit for Hard Edge - Collection Best is in any way not acceptable, then an admin should also edit Hard Edge - Value 1500 (https://vgcollect.com/item/185092) to be also named simply Hard Edge. That way, three Hard Edge - PlayStation [JP] entries can exist at the same time without any name differentiation.

If I create another entry, will it just be deleted again? I had proposed for Wii Sports (https://vgcollect.com/item/4831) to be renamed to Wii Sports (bundled with black Wii) while simultaneously creating a new entry for Wii Sports (bundled with white Wii). Should I instead propose an edit for the entry to be renamed to Wii Sports (C\RVL-RSPE-USA-2) while creating a Wii Sports (62022A) entry?

171623 was dupe, merged with 132188
The edit was rejected because of the original intent. Conversion of the entry was disallowed.
Hard Edge is Sunsoft Best, not Collection Best. Updated title.
The Wii Sports should not have been deleted if it wasn't a dupe. As I put before, I didn't see the entry so I do not know what it looked like.
The descriptors you mention are trivia and cannot be used in the item name. Descriptors, if used, should be something you can verify by looking at the actual item. If it doesn't say "Bundled with Black Wii" on the actual item, it cannot be used as a descriptor.
-
Sorry for all the confusion on my part—just trying to help out with what I can. I'll keep the idea of original intent in mind from now.
I know there are multiple admins who approve edit proposals, so discussing about why a certain decision was made can be difficult. Thanks!

Unfortunately, since this is so limited, I would not think it would be worth to create a common name exception, since that takes a community vote. Otherwise, if you can get GameFaqs to use the correct title, then we can use it here too.
So, the games should be listed as Super Bonk and Super Bonk 2 as these are the main names used by both GameFaqs and Moby Games, right?

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/snes/581900-super-bonk-2
https://www.mobygames.com/game/snes/super-bonk
For verifying release names on Gamefaqs you need to look at each individual entry in the media section, or use the Release Data option in the menu. That is how you get the names we use on the site. The lack of a connection between names to actual releases is the reason why Mobygames was put as a secondary naming source on the list. They just have an unconnected "alternate titles" list on the main game page.
So these would be the links to use instead of the main links you put (which is for the game data)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/snes/588722-super-bonk/data
or https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/snes/588722-super-bonk/images/14298
and
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/snes/581900-super-bonk-2/data
or https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/snes/581900-super-bonk-2/images/121660
And there you can see the names connected to releases.
These names match to exact releases as depicted. If there is a variant, we will use that name also. But if there is a release not on gamefaqs but is on mobygames, you can use the name from mobygames, or necretro or elisoftware or crimson-ceremony or whatever website you're looking at. But we typically want to go 1. Gamefaqs and 2. Mobygames and 3. whatever, just because Gamefaqs connects names to releases.

Right so the edits were rejected because we do not allow for entry conversions. Any time it looks like that is what is happening, it will be denied.
Currently there are 3 entries in the db for this game:
Angelique Special 2 (the one in question): https://vgcollect.com/item/32597
Koei the Best: https://vgcollect.com/item/185426
Premium Box: https://vgcollect.com/item/185427
The information on 32597 that is being contested is not wholly important, as you notice this information was not added by the entry creator.
Is the implication here that there is only 2 releases of this game, the Premium Box and the Koei Best and there is no stand-alone release?
Also I notice in your edits and new items being created where you are using a truncated item number as descriptor. You need to use the full item number. See here for an example: https://vgcollect.com/search/advanced/84/%22call%20of%20duty%20ghosts%22/no-filter/ALL/ALL/ALL/ALL/ALL/no-filter/no-filter/no-filter

So, to have the item entries being correct, would I need to create a new entry for Angelique Special 2 with all of the correct information on my own, since I would be the original entry creator? The implication is that there are three separate and unique releases (32597, 185426, and 185427.)
As for the descriptors, I'll be sure to amend those changes and keep that in mind for future edits.

I thought your original report here was that 32597 was a franken entry, having info for the Premium Box.
I am asking if a regular version exists, of which you didn't respond. Rather you said there was an original variant. It is a mixup of terms. I have corrected 32597.

I think I meant to change it to "Unofficial Release" because it was listed as a homebrew at first. It is a retail product but unlisenced.
-
The release type is in context with the category. So any game in GBC category is relative to the console. A product may be licensed as far as the content (Shantae) by the manufacturer or distributor, but that does not mean it is licensed by Nintendo, the maker of the console. So for a product such as this, it should be Unofficial Release.

Seeing this entry is the only one in database, how should it be corrected without causing much interruption?
Seeing how this entry was intended to be the standard EU release, revising the barcode field with the correct information seems best. The information for the [NL] version would be dropped from the database entirely unless you go out of your way to create an entry for a [NL] release and then add its corresponding information to such an entry.

The thing is there's really not much of a time difference between his posts, plus by the time he posted there were no admins or mods to notice and potentially get confused or whatever.
Regardless, I sit corrected. Gots to follow them rulez.

Can you ignore my edit for the name change of https://vgcollect.com/item/74788? I originally wanted to distinguish this from https://vgcollect.com/item/46655, but it seems that atarmina also distinguish these two titles by the hyphen in name:

I was updating the images for the PS4 NA version of Effie and the front image was rejected because the information was already on file, but the image on file is a isometric one. I thought it was straight flat images that were preferred?
Sorry I'm probably missing something obvious but wasn't sure if I read something wrong on the style guide.

price5474, when the edit came in, the site showed the new picture was the same as the old picture.
Serious?
If this is in regards to the front image on this Blacksad LE: https://vgcollect.com/item/172712
The front was rejected because the replacement picture was missing the label in the lower right corner that is present on the sealed (and existing) image. After researching it, it seems this label is only on the outer shrinkwrap and is not on the game case. If you can get a picture like the one you tried to put, but has this label on it, it should then be ok.

I'll be submitting changes myself but going to provide additional context here:
Multiple versions of the PS1 NA Tarzan game exist:
https://vgcollect.com/item/6469 (Walt Disney Pictures Presents Tarzan)
https://vgcollect.com/item/6470 (Disney's Tarzan - Collector's Edition (part of a set))
https://vgcollect.com/item/25152 (Disney's Tarzan - Greatest Hits)
A fourth version exists of https://vgcollect.com/item/6469 that is published by Take 2
I'll be renaming #6469 to just be "Disney's Tarzan" to be in line with the other versions,
and adding a description line that says "This is the original release (published by Sony)"
and I'll be adding another Tarzan game that is the Take2 release:
https://vgcollect.com/item/186654
Edit: Maybe instead of putting the stuff about it being a rerelease and original release in the description, I should have put it in the title.

In general, it is not recommended to attempt to change a barcode through an edit, if the entry has the wrong barcode. Instead just post into here.
The only time barcade changes can get through is if there is a typo or missing check digit on the barcode on the entry and the replacement barcode is complete.

We're not interested in tracking SKUs on some website.
The example I like to use is: if someone finds this item at a thrift store, how could they know it is called Lovely Edition if that text is not present on the item itself? If you cannot tell from the item itself in sealed form that it has a name like this, that name should not be in the item title. It is perfectly fine to put that information in the description, because that is the place to put trivia.

There are items in the DB that have both (Best Seller) and "- Best Seller" and I was looking for some clarification.
Looking at an example, Super Mario Strikers, it seems that Best Seller is just a cover variation vs the original. The disc is not any different. The case number and UPC are the same. The two main differences is the presence of the Best Seller starburst on the front and different cover numbers on the back.

I believe they are considered unofficial releases.
-
In terms of the database, the Release Type is in relation to the console category. It has nothing to do with whether or not the people who made the item or software had a license agreement with anyone to make the product. So for a game that was released on physical media for a Nintendo console after the fact, if it is not an officially licensed Nintendo Product, it is an Unofficial Release.
No physical game should be set to homebrew. An entry in a physical category is for the item itself, not for the game content. See this text from the Advanced Guide:
Homebrew vs Unofficial Release
A homebrew that is released commercially for a console is considered to be an aftermarket or unofficial release in terms of the database. For a physical item, which is tracked in a physical game category, the context is for the item itself, not the data content.
Example: Pier Solar and the Great Architects (the game data) is a homebrew, but the products that contain the data is an Unofficial Release.

Question
https://vgcollect.com/item/20275 (https://vgcollect.com/item/20275) "Torchlight" (pc)
I have a rejected title edit: "Torchlight (Small box)"
The ADVANCED Style Guide (https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,10837.msg177773.html#msg177773) says this:
Item Name
An item name can consist of multiple parts. The type of item determines which parts are used.
Physical Games: GameTitle (descriptor) - Edition [TLD]
Descriptors
Descriptors are used to differentiate similar releases where the result would be two items with the same name in a category.
DO NOT use generic descriptors such as "variant" or "alternate"
I realized my physical copy is an alternate release that came in a DVD box, not a PC Small Box ... with different back cover also.
As such, I created a new VGC item for that to differentiate it:
https://vgcollect.com/item/188341 "Torchlight (DVD box)"
I thought this was a proper use of the descriptor, so I applied that as a title change to 20275 VGC item page, but it was rejected.
Does that mean that the VGC item I added for my physical copy (188341) also has an incorrect descriptor usage in the Game Title ?
*If so, can you instruct me how you want it done in the future?
Thank you for reading!

I have a rejected title edit: "Torchlight (Small box)"
Only for formatting reasons, descriptor should only have proper term if text is present. So it was a reject only because you put Small but would have been approved if you put small. That upper case S was the only reason.
For your other item, DVD box may not be good if the "small box" version also has a DVD.

Back cover and disc image rejected.
Current back image is for a ' not to be sold separately' version.
Replacement cover had correct barcode.
Why was this change rejected?
-
The entry you edited is correct, as it pertains to a variant release of the game in question; the title should be edited to reflect this. The proper course of action in your case would be to make an entry for the retail version.
-
I don't think the entry was inspected, just rejected from the queue for trying to change the back art from a NFR to retail cover. Otherwise, it would have been noticed it was a franken entry, since there was a barcode on the entry as well. It worked out in the end, but it is annoying because an entry like this could go either way.

My edit to fix the cart art on Super Mario 3D All-Stars on the Switch was also rejected for "incorrect formatting"
https://vgcollect.com/item/185467
The cart on the current listing is incorrect. The item number on the cart image does not match up to the item number on the box (ANB3S vs. AVP3A), and the current image has the wrong ESRB rating (E10+), when it should be E. It appears there is an E10+ rated version of this game out there, but this is the E rated version so the cart should be updated to match the box art and the item numbers.

I don't have any watermarked photos of this game on my computer at all so I have no possible idea how it came out like that, but I will resubmit edits. Same thing with a sideways image but I redid that one just to be sure.
-
It is possible that it was someone else who tried to put an image with LRG watermark on it and a different admin had rejected your image. I try to remember in short term memory when posting in this thread. The queue tool doesn't have a history so if someone doesn't remember, it doesn't really help in replying. That is why when you make a post here, especially for an art rejection, that you link to the image you tried to put rather than just saying it was rejected and not show what it was. In addition, that means that other admins could potentially answer the question even if they didn't work on the queue, or other members for that matter.
Be aware that while there are only 3 DB Admin users, there are still a couple legacy users that work through the queue, as well as any of the red Admins.

https://vgcollect.com/item/11184
https://vgcollect.com/item/11186
https://vgcollect.com/item/11185
In addition to enhanced graphics, each of these three games also slightly changes depending on which console is being used. So, essentially, two versions of each game are on one disc. However, the games were marketed as Xbox 360 games that an Xbox could also play—not backwards compatibility. This would be my argument for the games' current categorization, anyway.
-
I recall this being brought up by someone once and there being a discussion about it. I think what dhaabi said was more or less what was agreed on.
I dunno, maybe I'm misremembering...
-
Each of those have text "Xbox 360" on them. "Includes Xbox 360 and Xbox Original versions"
-
I made some changes and they all got declined... I kind of figured they would, so I'll post some listings with complaints mostly because they are inconsistent and inconsistent via tripredacus.
New Play Control games. Two different naming styles. Personally, I think the [Title Name] (New Play Control!) is the way to go, but whatever, it's inconsistent.

https://vgcollect.com/item/27034
These I think are a remnant of the short period of time where games with accessories were thrown in the accessory category instead of the game category.
Nintendo Wii [Something] The things are not called "Nintendo Wii Fit" or "Nintendo Wii Play", they are Wii Fit and Wii Play, as shown in their individual title listings. Wii Play shouldn't be listed as Wii Remote - Wii Play, Wii Play is the item, the Wii Remote is the bundled extra, you don't call Skyward Sword with the soundtrack "25th Anniversary Music CD - Legend of Zelda, The: Skyward Sword". Also doesn't make sense to just call them "Wii Fit" and "Wii Play" because there is the stand alone games and the game bundles. Obviously what I chose was not the "correct" title, but they are obviously wrongly named as current. Seems like they should be "Wii Fit (Balance Board Bundle)" and "Wii Play (Bonus Wii Remote)" Using the Descriptor section instead of the Edition section because these aren't "editions" as such.

I have corrected the name on Mario Power Tennis. :\
For the Nintendo Wii Remote, you were on the right track on changing the name (it should be as you say) as it is obviously a game with an accessory. I recall doing the reject due to formatting or perhaps there was a typo.
For the Wii Fit, it is different, as it is obviously not a game with an accessory, rather an accessory with a game, so it should follow accessory naming convention.
Term bundle cannot be used in a descriptor unless that wording is on the actual product itself.

I rejected these edits of yours yesterday, so I can say exactly why... for the most part.
The "New Play Control" ones, I agree that they should be formatted that way, however they are just games, and those entries are using the names as seen on GameFAQs.

Okay, but obviously Nintendo Wii Fit isn't the right name. Wii Fit is also not the right name either because the stand alone entry is listed that way. So what should its name be? "Wii Fit (Balance Board)" "Wii Fit (with Balance Board)"?
I see that I submitted "Wii Play - Bonus Wii Remote" instead of "Wii Play (Bonus Wii Remote)". Resubmitted with correct(?) name.
Also, strong disagree on your statement regarding Wii Fit being an accessory with a game. It's not marketed or advertised as Wii Balance Board w/Wii Fit... it is Wii Fit with the Wii Balance Board.
It's not like Link's Crossbow Training and the Wii Zapper, which definitely is advertised and marketed as the Wii Zapper with Link's crossbow training... which as I can see on the site we have treated as a game with an accessory, so even the logic of accessory with a game doesn't fly either.

Nintendo Wii Fit is the correct name. All hardware and accessories should have the manufacturer first in the name, even if it is an accessory that is in a game category.
For games, hyphen is only for edition or pack notation, not a descriptor. Descriptor should have box text or physical/visual description. So a box text descriptor such as "Bonus Wii Remote" is not valid to use the hyphen, and is correct to use as (Bonus Wii Remote).

Question regarding editing posts.
What is the order to consider priority of the information on an entry before editing to correct or adding other entries for variants?
Would it be: Image > Title > Data
e.g. Title of entry should be changed to match the image and data to follow?
I thought Title would be first then changes made to match, just want to clarify for further entries to save time.

Entry conversion is not allowed. If the information present are for the Platinum, then the entry has the wrong name. We do not allow you to change it to a different release.

The instances where a picture put is wrong outweighs a wrong barcode. Barcode should take priority over a picture and title. Also need to consider the history of the entry. Original data will always outweigh edits.

There is no other item in this category with this title, so the TLD should not be put. You can put into description that it is released in Netherlands. Alternatively, if there is a UK version that has no entry, it can be created and then you can put [NL] on this item.

Tld isnt put on items that are from the UK, or have their native language in the title, you break your own rules now.

No, it has always been this way. From the Style Guide:
TLD is only required on items to prevent a situation where two or more items would have the same name, but are actually different items and not duplicates.
So as I said, the TLD is not required on that entry because there is no other entry with the same title in that category. If this is only the case because we are missing the UK or English EU release, then that should be added and then the NL version can get NL in the title.

We know thats not gonna happen, unless you do it.
The one thing that they are gonna try is put the UK back with this item, so to makes things easy, so they make a new item, we put NL on it. But its your database........

I had a rejected change to: Outlaw Golf [DE][FR]

https://vgcollect.com/item/190078

Haven't had to touch TLD's much yet, so not sure where I went wrong with this one. (I read the TLD section twice)
-
As posted in the previous example, usually a TLD would be rejected (besides it being wrong) is if there is only 1 entry in the category for that game. I do not know if the new entry you made was present at the time the edit appeared in the queue, it could be possible that was why it was rejected. It is fixed now.
I do know that EU sections are not complete with all of the versions, and in leiu of creating the missing UK versions, you can put into description the release country of the TLD-less/non UK version. So that it is know that it should have a TLD when the UK version is added, and when that time comes then the release country in description can be removed and the TLD added.

Ok, well to me that's weird for a collection site. I only own the game case and not the box collection, that is something I would want to keep track of visually in my list.
Also for being able to look up the game and find the version if came across secondhand.
Wouldn't that also include any game that is Not For Resale or Not to be Sold Separately and came within a box etc.?

There are limitations in the design of the site that we take into consideration. If/when we get the ability to link items together, to allow us to track individual parts, then we will certainly add those additional parts.
My personal opinion is that to allow entries for these additional parts, without a sorting mechanism (such as the ability for people to choose to hide the additional items if they didn't want to see them) it will only clutter up the game categories. The pack-in entries and variations are already causing this issue, so I'd personally not want to add to it.
NFR and unique pack-in games from hardware, accessories or multipacks are allowed separate entries because either the community wanted it or it was a rule implemented by an admin before we let the community decide (through voting) some things on the site.
You can request consideration for a community vote on this topic here: https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,8361.0.html
The normal process is that you pose your suggestion, then we talk about it for a bit. If there is consensus to proceed, we will let the community vote on whether to implement it or not.

1Print games are a relatively new publisher. At the end of this post I've got listings for 2 of their 3 games. The games are currently listed under Switch [JP], product codes for the games are ASI not JPN, and don't have CERO ratings. Company exists/ships out of Japan though. It seems like these should be under Switch [CN]. On a related note, I wonder if we should split/reorganize the Switch regions. Technically Switch[CN] should be the Tencent region locked CN releases, and we should probably have a Switch[HK] for the non-rated (Read as non-TW) Switch releases with ASI product codes. I'm trying to get some information out of some folks who work in those regions for more information.
Edit: seems like these are produced in singapore, as are the paex games. So maybe Switch [AS]?

Hello, just wanted to know why the description I originally had for Mega Man Battle Network [DE][NL] got changed?
https://vgcollect.com/item/190018
Part of it was describing the box and manual variation (having EUU printed on the flaps and manual). Is this considered unneeded information? If that's the case I will stop including it in descriptions.
Likely too wordy, use of adjective or opinion related terms, or referring to other things besides the item itself.
I compared it to the EUR variant which is on me, but if I were to re-edit in the information about the box and manual being marked EUU would that be accepted?
Yes such as
Box flap/manual item number:

Hmmm. I think I'd like to suggest a conversation about that then. Using [CN] to cover all of SEA doesn't seem like the right way to go. ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 provides a series of alpha-2 codes that can be user assigned and the ISO 3166/MA will never use the codes in updating process of the standard. I'd like to put forward the suggestion of using something like AA or XA for SEA categories. Merge Switch[TW] and Switch[CN] into Switch[XA] and use TLDs like the [EU] categories or further split the Switch categories into Switch[HK], Switch[SG], Switch[TW], and leave Switch[CN] for the Chinese region locked releases.

In general, the yellow dot means EU version for import to non EU territory. The game itself would typically have an import label on it when in sealed form to identify where they come from. The NFR being the exception, since that would have been included in a console.
I will look into 182100 and 182098 to see if I can tell what ratings those are using since they are not documented here.

Back in 2018, I added the very rare Speed Devils "Clean" Variant for the North American Sega Dreamcast: https://vgcollect.com/item/151251
- This is the standard release version: https://vgcollect.com/item/8357
- This is the rare "clean cover" variant (the devil face has been censored): https://vgcollect.com/item/151251
Originally, the standard release was simply named Speed Devils (as is expected), and I named my new variant Speed Devils (clean cover) according to the style guide.
However, I see earlier this year that Admin tripredacus updated the names of both games, changing the variant to simply Speed Devils, and changing the standard release to Speed Devils (devil cover).
This seems odd to me, since I'd think we'd want to highlight the much less common variants and releases with descriptors, and leave the standard release with the standard title.
Was this simply an oversight? If I re-edit the "clean variant" to add a descriptor in parentheses, will it be rejected? Since the Admin was the one who made these changes to both titles, I assume they are the expert and would not want to attempt to overwrite their change, but since it feels "off" I wanted to double check first.
-
Clean is not descriptive enough and it is also a fan term in relation to this game. It is a term to be read as "doesn't have the thing the other version has" and we do not want to be referring to other versions on an entry, at least in this case. So to indicate that the one has a devil on the cover is better, than to have one be marked as "doesn't have a devil on the cover" type of descriptor.
Of course, the physical description descriptors always leave something to be desired. It is preferrable to have something more concrete, such as an item number or text difference be used instead. If you know of a better descriptor to use than what is current present, let us know and we can tell you if it would be good to change the item title or not.
Also, using the term "variant" in an item title will be rejected unless that word actually exists on the item.

Thanks for the clarification. I thought it might be related to something along those lines, especially based on the Style Guide usually desiring something different ON the cover being included in the descriptor, as opposed to something different NOT ON the cover. So I assume a descriptor like "(censored)" or anything along those lines would fall into the same camp? Especially since we don't have any "proof" that's why the variant exists, and only have evidence of Wal-Mart receipts and Wal-Mart devil/demon censorship guidelines of the time.
It makes sense in that technical way, even if it does feel a bit "off" to add descriptors to the standard release and none to the the more oddball variants. I personally got confused when I saw the updated titles and forgot which was the standard release for a bit until I googled it a bunch, which made me reach out for clarification.
Also, using the term "variant" in an item title will be rejected unless that word actually exists on the item.
I saw that in the style guide and also assumed as much simply based on existing descriptors already on site. So I avoided a "generic" descriptor like that.
-
Yes the backwards nature of how the two entries look is also unfortunate. It happens a lot in recent times when the "clean version" is actually a reprint and not the initial (more common) release.
And as any collection site staff will tell you, you can't use pop to determine what is and what isn't common. The simple fact is that we do not require our users to be correct, or to prove what they actually have. So anyone can say they have something they don't. Even on other sites I am on, there are some items that are in more collections than exist. So I wouldn't put much thought into whether or not a person actually has the thing they marked in their collection. It is up to them about how exact they want to be, it doesn't really matter to us. We just want to make sure the information is correct, what you do with it is your business.

From what I read, Code Mystics only made the front end and trophy integration. They did not make the game. It reads like the original ROM is present on the disc. If so then, SNK did not develop this release of the game, Code Mystics did and they are just using SNK assets.

Spacebore created a franken entry with that Dragon Quest, by putting incompatible EAN with pictures and title. He will decide how to change the entry.
That Shadow Hearts game is not EU, it is AU. Fixed title, rating and category.
Here's the deal with a release like that. Italy imported that AU release and the only difference between the IT and AU version is that the IT version has the SIAE label on the back. I can confirm this, so the one on the entry missing this label does not have this label so it is not the Italian version. It is likely that the Spanish imported version also has some sort of label that I am going to guess only shows on a sealed copy. None of the ones on Ebay are sealed, and none of the opened ones sold in Spain have the SIAE label.
So this game can have an [IT] entry in EU category if a back art is used that has the SIAE label.
It can have an [ES] entry in EU category if we can determine that there is something that makes it different than the AU version.
Until then, it can exist in the [AU] category. You can add an [IT] version but not put the back image and put into description that the SIAE label is on the back cover.

My copy has the Sony Computer Entertainment hologram in the bottom-left corner on the back cover, otherwise the back cover is a match. The barcode search gives me Spanish and Italian sites, with no mention of Australia.
I also found an Australian release on eBay Australia with a different barcode (5037930070426) with an MA15+ sticker obscuring the ELSPA rating on the front cover. It's back cover is only in English. So, it is possible that the "official" Australian release is actually the imported English release with the ELSPA rating and they simply slapped their own rating on the front cover?

I've typed out many responses and rewrote and deleted them all. For now, the ways we can have an [ES] entry is:
1. There is a sealed copy with some sort of label on it that indicates a release in Spain
2. There is a version that has a Spanish manual or other type insert that is not in the version released in Italy.
I have no doubt this game was sold in Spain, ACB rating and all. Unfortunately, the ACB rating puts it as an AU release and we cannot confirm it wasn't sold in Australia. So it has to be in the AU section and an entry in EU section that is no different would be considered a dupe.
There are also many instances where AU will import a UK or EU game and put a label on it, and then get a printed cover later. Or perhaps the order is different, but basically there are many releases that have a printed/unique cover and a label release... or sometimes AU will import different EU versions and put labels on them.

If you can show me where it was voted on, we can take a look. IIRC there was discussion and some determinations made around the release of Resident Evil VII, but I believe now that Common Name rules override how we use roman numerals. It was in the Style Guide and the Adv Guide at one point but was removed.

Yeah now that I'm thinking about it, I don't think we actually had a vote on it. I know the two of us discussed making an exception to the common name rule regarding COD Black Ops 4 but that's all I can remember.

I knew I had documented that change somewhere. But yeah, that is where roman numerals stand.
-
Then I'll hold off on submitting any edits until we decide on that as a community. Most of the Kingdom Hearts games would need to be changed since they are titled with Arabic numerals (2.5) in the database despite having a mix of Arabic/Roman numerals on the box (II.5). Though it's not 100% consistent.

The reason for rejection is ESRB on the stock photo is English only, but actual cover has English/French. Blame the guy who uploaded the back art.
Merged into correct thread.
-
I just uploaded a new thumbnail image of the cover for the PS4 (N. American) game. The difference between what I was uploading and what is now uploaded is the two unreadable paragraphs above the rating.... one in English.... one in French.
Hopefully that's enough to make the cover stick around.

It is. And stop creating new topics instead of replying into this thread.

I attempted to edit the box text for Fallout: New Vegas for PS3 (https://vgcollect.com/item/13285), and my edit was rejected. There is no box text present now, but what I believe happened was that there was already text present, which I edited to add additional text from the back of the box, however there was a trade symbol in the original text that I didn't notice until I had already submitted it. I then resubmitted it without the trade symbol present.
The first rejection reason was Incorrect Formatting, which was to be expected due to the trade symbol. The second edit was rejected as Action Not Allowed. I suspect that is a result of the double-edit, but I wanted to verify before I resubmitted the text, in case there was an error in my submission.
The text that I submitted last can be seen below:

OK that is one drawback is that we cannot actually see what was original, only what can be seen on the edit tab. If you can confirm a Russian release, we can change it to RU and remove the cart art. By this I mean no stock photo for front, and at least an EAN.

Although I did find the likely scenario (https://imgur.com/3rqdqYV) as to perhaps why the original entry creator for some reason added the conflicting images. Great related image result.

Rejected due to item conversion. Your item has two things that the existing entry does not:
1. Starburst label with "Now cleans Super Nintendo"
2. Patent text on back in black ink
Make a new entry and use (Now Cleans Super Nintendo) descriptor.

It is a bug with the site. Can't set zero publisher at this time. In future, just make sure to not set it for hardware or accessories.

That's fair; somehow I didn't notice that the original didn't have the starburst sticker. Though I would still propose updating the item number. The item number can be seen to be the same from the existing photos.

Games with Accessories or Accessories with Games
The community has decided that all accessories with games or games with accessories should be put into the appropriate games category for a platform. So it does not matter if the accessory or the game title has more prevalence on the box design, it will be considered a game.
Items of this nature that include download codes for games, but no physical games, are also to be put into the game category.

So when will PS VR be considered hardware instead of an accessory?
-
So when will PS VR be considered hardware instead of an accessory?
I've asked a similar question before. I didn't get a formal answer necessarily, but I imagine the answer given is what's currently agreed upon.
I didn't see any discussion in this thread about adding a PlayStation VR category listing to be added, so maybe this could put into consideration. There are a considerable number of titles that aren't just VR-compatible but require VR. I don't think that this (https://www.game.co.uk/en/m/games/playstation-4-ps4-games/playstation-vr-games/full-games?cm_sp=PSVR-_-Category-_-AllGames) is an exhaustive list since it shows only PAL releases, but it seems to show a healthy amount of titles that could be representative of all TLD releases.
I could be wrong about this, but all these games are still PS4 games and require the PS4 to play them. Playstation VR is an accessory to the PS4, not a console itself.
While that is a good point, the database has individual category listings for the Sega CD, Turbografx-CD, etc. already. To me, PlayStation VR is on equal footing with listings like these.
Sure, but that's a change in the media type. An admin can correct me if I'm wrong, but categories in the DB are split by platform, then further differentiated by media type (disc, cartridge, digital, floppy disc, cassette, etc.) All PSVR games are either disc or digital, and all are played on the PS4 console, so another category isn't necessary. They would just go in PS4 disc or digital. It's about the format the data are on.
The only exception to that is the PS1/PS2 classics category, which I asked to have removed/addressed a long time ago (it's still in Jason's to do list to fix it iirc).

Edits rejected due to attempted item conversion. As you can see in history, the item number and barcode on 19797 are original to the entry, but the title and arts were wrong. Your new item has been merged as dupe and 19797 was fixed. If this means then that the US version is not in the db, then you can add it.

Okay thanks trip. I thought the title was to be treated as prioritary over stuff like item number and barcodes, since most people just look up the title and don't bother to check other release info, therefore we can assume that most people who put this item in their collection actually had the US version, not the "Latin" [CA][MX] one. But thanks, I'll keep that in mind, in the future, to consider barcodes and item numbers as the priority over the title and box art.

When adding to collection, yes this is typically how people do it. When adding to the DB, it is the other way around. The original "Data" is always the most important, with the barcode being most important if it was original to the entry.

I tried changing the rating to Rating Pending since thats's what the current image shows as well as the latest development update video from Nintendo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLIv_UXI_So
From the advanced guide:
Physical Items: rating should be set if a rating exists on the item.
The item you tried to set the rating on does not yet exist. In other words, do not set the rating based on the pre-sale stock photo on entries like this. Wait until the rating or the product is released before putting a rating on it. Many people who make these entries for physical items before they exist set the RP and then it is forgotten forever and we end up with a bunch of entries for released items with the wrong ratings on them.
Remember that entries in physical game categories are for the physical objects themselves, not for the game data included on the disc or cartridge. This game data Metroid Prime 4 is what is currently rated RP. There is no rating on the physical release because there is no physical release. The thing shown in the pre-release mockup/stock photo is not the final product and will not be sold as such.

Wouldn't the rating just be updated to the final rating along with the rest of the information in the listing when the game releases?
I don't really see how being physical makes a difference. The case isn't being rated, the game data is. Seems like it would make the most sense to keep everything in the listing up to date as possible.
What instance would the RP rating be used? On digital items only?

What instance would the RP rating be used? On digital items only?
First I want to point out that I did the reject to initiate a discussion about it.
The rating should be updated but it is usually not. I am talking about all the users who make items in the db. Most do not revisit an item they made, or owned, in order to update the information. So for a physical release that has an entry made before the physical release actually exists, this results in an entry for a physical item with the wrong rating. Because the person who made or edited the entry originally to put RP onto it, did not change the rating once the thing actually came into being. It is preferable to not have a rating on an item than to have the incorrect rating.
Entries in the physical game categories are not actually for games, they are for products. For these items, the ratings drop down should only be used if a rating is printed on the physical item itself. If you wanted to note that the game data has a rating when the packaging/media does not, or that it has a different rating than what is represented, that type of information can be put into the description. Even in that scenario, ESRB RP would not be allowed into description because the physical release does not exist, thus it cannot include game data. So we aren't concerned with what is actually being rated, only if a rating exists on the item, then we set that rating in the drop-down. And then this also means you can set ratings for this like strategy guides or anything else that have a rating on them, even thought we know the book isn't rated, but they are advertising the rating for the game the book is based on.
For entries for physical items, ESRB RP should only be set for items that have an ESRB RP printed on the case or media. Usually you only see these on demos or betas. For entries of digital games, ESRB RP can be set for any digital game on a platform that shows that rating. But the same logic should apply here as well. If that digital game gets released and the rating is different, then why bother setting the ESRB RP rating on it in the first place? Why are we bothering to input data into our database that we know is going to be incorrect in the future?
So this comes down to two things:
1. We do not really care what is rated. If the thing has a rating on it: put it on the entry. If it doesn't, don't put anything.
2. We currently allow for people to make entries for things that do not exist, but are planned to exist. We allow the use of pre-release mockups for images if that is the only image that can be found.
3. We are not creating entries for mockup photos. Whatever rating is present on the mockup is irrelevant. It is only there until a better picture is made available.
4. We should not put information onto an entry that we know is or will be incorrect.

4. We should not put information onto an entry that we know is or will be incorrect.
Still doesn't make much sense. With your fourth point the release type category is frequently changed from Official Release (Upcoming) to Official Release and is much more noticeable than the rating is yet still many entries aren't updated to reflect the change in release type.
I'll just stop using RP though.

The front image is actually from the manual, which seems to have been edited. Other than what appears to be a custom-made cover and one that's watermarked, I can't seem to find an image of the front cover, or at least not one in decent quality.

No probs! Seeing manuals as covers is a pet peeve of mine - Many PS1 Manuals just take the main cover on front but I can always tell the difference because the space for the hologram sticker isn't there, so it's something I look out for.
Usually go to Gamefaqs or Mobygames but neither had it, so luckily found one on eBay :)

https://vgcollect.com/item/189530
Can't find anything about an European release for this game, only the US.

I'm curious as to why an original entry I had proposed edits for was deleted (https://i.imgur.com/qix6iRc.jpeg) within the last three hours. Impara con Pokémon: Avventura Tra I Tasti is very much a real item (https://www.ebay.it/itm/IMPARA-CON-I-POKEMON-avventura-tra-i-tasti-NINTENDO-3DS-DS-nuovo-TASTIERA/333285572666). The entry was newly created by brand new user attila who has joined only just today.
-
Unfortunately, we do not have a way to know if that entry was merged or deleted, or by who.
-
Based on the standard EU variant now being in attila's collection, I would assume that the entry was merged. As far as by who, activity times make that deduction fairly easy, but I'm not here to try to point fingers at anyone while instead just asking why it was merged to begin with. That this ordeal involved a perfectly acceptable entry created by a brand new user on their first day was bothersome to me is all.

It was merged. Before your edits were seen it was titled: "Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure" which is the same as this item: 34382 - so it got merged with that item. The entry was not "perfectly acceptable" until you edited it, but by the time your edits were seen, the item was already merged. It's an honest mistake.

I try to only use my own images but I noticed that
Pokemon: Edicion Roja (https://vgcollect.com/item/134810) had the wrong box art, it's currently using the Latin American variant as opposed to the Spanish one so I uploaded the correct images, which are pending.

That is an example of where someone added a NA game to EU category. So it has been moved to NA category and merged with the dupe you made. You can add the EU version now since it is missing.

The gray "nsfw" images are not self censorship, they are the "art" on the GameFAQs entries.
Star Fox 2 games are bootlegs. Only merged one. Left the two with actual pictures of different carts (you didn't link the other one). There is a few "limited" releases but those are not in the db currently.
Notice that users tend to set release type as "Unreleased" or "Homebrew" for bootleg games.
Watch Dogs Legion is an Xbox One game optimized for Xbox Series X. So the dupe has been merged and moved into Xbox One category. I put in the relevant box text.

Should all Xbox titles with this information on the packaging be classified as Xbox One then? Of the titles currently in the Xbox Series X [NA] category, 17 other entries are like this. Meanwhile, 4 items in the category instead clearly state "For use only with Xbox Series X consoles." The remaining entries are upcoming releases.

Sorry about that.

Just that Watch Dogs Legion falls under the "Games where another platform is marked as compatible" section and matches to the same situation that The Little Pictures Dark Hope example shows. I think that where the platform/compatibility information is on a cover is going to greatly depend on the publisher. As we have seen some have it right on the front, while on this Watch Dogs game it is kind of hidden on the back, although it does have it on the bullet point.
For XBox One / Xbox One X in generally it would appear that (so far) whether a game is Xbox One with forwards compatibility or is an Xbox Series X with backwards compatibility is signified by which of the two consoles appears "first" on the black box on the front cover.
Gears Tactics (https://vgcollect.com/item/188571) has "Xbox Series X | Xbox One" on the cover
Little Hope (https://vgcollect.com/item/188356) has "Xbox One | Xbox Series X" on the cover
If this order of the consoles on the cover does actually match up to whatever is in the fine print on the back covers (or front covers) then we can instruct people to use that to determine where games should go to make it easier.

The back cover for "Xbox Series X | Xbox One"-front cover Gears Tactics features back text (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gears-Tactics-XBOX-ONE-XBOX-Series-X-NEW/363316424015?epid=5042566506) "For use only with Xbox One or newer consoles with optical drive." Example 2 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Little-Nightmares-II-XBOX-ONE-XBOX-SERIES-X-NEW/154332011532?epid=25042937368&hash=item23eee79c0c:g:C1gAAOSw-JBgKd~N).

Since identifying the four items I mentioned in my previous post that feature back text "For use only with Xbox Series X consoles," I'm now also realizing that they all four strictly only feature "Xbox Series X" on the front cover label. Example 1 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Overcooked-All-You-Can-Eat-XBOX-SERIES-X-Remastered-New-Factory-Sealed/233884928666).

So, it seems that only Xbox titles that strictly are only labeled as "Xbox Series X" should be categorized as Xbox Series X. Right?

It is looking that way. :\
I really wish we had a better way of being able to organize these things that didn't rely on us having to peg them into a single category.

These type of releases could be categorized under the console they're for, and have it so that they could also go under the second platform they're playable on. In other words, have "Little Hope" go under both "Xbox One [NA]" and "Xbox Series X [NA]", as in the entry showing it's for both.
In the end, though, this is another instance where the description could easily show this information.

Rejected edits on these three for item numbers. Edits removed dashes that DO NOT appear on the packaging (dashes only show on carts). Double checked the Style Guide to be sure and saw this...
The item number is for an identifying number that exists on the packaging.
It should be enters as it appears with exception to Sony item numbers which must follow this format: XXXX-NNNNN, using the hyphen even if it is not present.
Maybe an Oxford comma might help or perhaps break that down into two sentences? I read it as only Sony BLUS/SLUS/Etc. get the hyphen but all others don't unless it appears that way.

Rejections on these item numbers are a little more peculiar as I wasn't completely sure which Item number is the "parent" one. I tried adding the TSA-HAC one in the Description field for Sisters Royale and swapping/adding it for Lode Runner but those got rejected. The regular HAC with dashes for Sisters Royale got approved. I went and looked at other SLG titles in my collection and it's a mix of the TSA-HAC, regular, or no Item number.

Also, I received an e-mail a little bit ago about release dates for LRG titles. I looked over the Style Guide and it DOES make mention that we're not supposed to put initial available as the release date but in the case of these niche online sellers I think an exception should be made. I imagine that will go over with mods about as well as a fart in church and I can't recall any major discussion about this (honestly I didn't dig too deep :P).
Point being, we'll NEVER be able to have accurate to-the-day releases for these unless we're able to pester those publishers for the exact days when they started shipping product out (if they even have that info, tell us to pound sand, or even respond to begin with). Seems like it would a LOT less hassle if we went by first available date (which alot of us can verify using e-mails from order confirmations) but again...I'm fully anticipating a fart-in-church response. :P
Bearing that in mind, their whole line (along with SLG/SRG/Hard Copy, Iam8bit and damn near all the others) will need edits to blank out the Month/Day and leave only the year as that's the only one we can be certain of. It's going to make for a bunch of now incomplete entries but them's the breaks, right? :-*

In short—if you don't know the specific date for which an item has been released, don't enter information into the field. That being said, all of these entries can still have be supplied with Month and Year information as they do eventually ship, which, honestly, is sufficient information for most items. This is better than entering blatant wrong information.

Using Sisters Royale for example, the two numbers are:
HAC-P-APR3D
TSA-HAC-APR3E-UKV
In this case, the one with the country code should be used. It was a long agreed upon (unwritten) rule to use the one with the country code, and it is in the Adv Guide although perhaps it isn't fully clear.

Admittedly it was a shaky argument at best and I know it's basically swimming upstream at this point so no real sense in pushing further and settling for "sufficient". Now I'll get to see how many rejected edits there are when I try to remove the "Day" from entries. :P ;)

I did see something about country code but I couldn't determine which one qualified for that so I went with the safer (to me) choice of the one that's more consistent with other regions. For these I didn't know if the "TSA" or "UKV" identified the countries as I can't determine which one is associated with "Germany". :P
Now that I have some clarification I can put the correct ones in going forward. ;)

I got a few rejected edits, I wish we had a "notes" section in the "Submit an item" tab, a section where we can leave notes to admins that explain or justify the edits we make. Anyway, here are the rejected edits that concern me:
https://www.vgcollect.com/item/197215
When I created this entry I entered the wrong barcode by mistake. When I attempted to edit the item with the right barcode it was rejected :/
The right barcode should be 805529105799
Second issue, this listing:
https://www.vgcollect.com/item/180350
There are 2 versions of the Day One Edition. One in a steelbook and one in a regular PS4 box. This item is the regular Day One Edition but it still has the picture, barcode and item number of the steelbook version. Once again, my attempt to edit these things were rejected. In comparison, here is the listing for the steelbook version: https://www.vgcollect.com/item/197219

Edits to barcode where it is obviously not just a case of missing digit, will always be rejected. Post into this thread if you want to change a barcode.
Couldn't make a change to 180350 because it was in collection besides you. So put (steelbook) in that title.
Removed (steelbook) from the dupe you made (you made both entries btw), removed front art and item number. Put in correct barcode.
Also refrain from using a text in description such as "has spanish on some inserts". If you want to include this info, put in the specific inserts. That text has been removed from both descriptions.

Hello,
I just proposed edits to two games, which will likely be rejected due to lack of understanding of the subtle differences:
https://www.vgcollect.com/item/179324 to "Blaster Master Zero (includes all banner)"
https://www.vgcollect.com/item/179325 to "Blaster Master Zero II (includes all banner)"
Please do not reject. These are Best Buy sold variants to Blaster Master Zero and Blaster Master Zero II on PS4. The originals do not have entries here on VG Collect (as far as I can tell) so I just created
https://www.vgcollect.com/item/197439 for Blaster Master Zero (PS4)
https://www.vgcollect.com/item/197438 for Blaster Master Zero II (PS4)
These two new entries are the Limited Run Games direct versions that do not have the little banner stating "includes all playable DLC characters".
Thanks

German version (SNSP-AXOP-NOE). It has the gray "PAL VERSION" printed beneath the red "SUPER NINTENDO"
Back Box Art:
French / Benelux version. It's the only one with two languages
Cart/Disc/Media Art:
French / Benelux version. There are two lines printed above the item number
Item number:

Yeah I did take care of it yesterday after reading your post. :)

I got a rejected edit (which I was totally fine with because I realized after the fact that I did the wrong thing because the UPC lookup website tricked me) but the thing I expected to get rejected didn't get rejected and the thing I expected to not get rejected got rejected, so I looked at the style guide again and now I'm confused because all of my changes should have been rejected.
Books
Books generally have ISBN-10, ISBN-13, UPC and occasionally more info. Most listings on the site have Item number populated with the ISBN-13 (Sometimes ISBN-10) value, style guide says this is wrong. Barcode is hit or miss with some listings with ISBN-13 (with ISBN-10 in item number), an actual UPC, or no value. Very rarely do I see description used for ISBN values, which is what the style guide says to do.
Style guide says put ISBN for for barcode, Advanced Style guide says put ISBN in description.
I'm trying to gather what I should be doing. There are cases where strategy guides have ISBN and UPC (seems you'd do ISBN in item number and UPC in barcode) since ISBN is an international standard book number (not company specific, used internationally, is the standard, and is in fact an item number). There are cases where the item has no UPC on the product itself (presumably there is a UPC if you can find a picture of a sealed copy that has the UPC sticker on the cellophane wrapping), which seems like a situation to do ISBN-10 for item number and ISBN-13 for barcode. UPC lookup sites for books like these will list the ISBN-13 as the barcode (https://www.barcodelookup.com/9780744016383)
Like honestly, maybe I should've made a new post suggesting a look at how Strategy Guides/Books are handled.

Ref: https://vgcollect.com/item/104532
The reject was due to you trying to put the ISBN and/or UPC into the item number field. And as the edits came through, it showed that you tried to put 9780744016383 into both fields.
Style guide says put ISBN for for barcode, Advanced Style guide says put ISBN in description.
I do not think there is a mixup with the two style guides, if there is, outline it here specifically. If this is about how the original style guide uses two different header sizes making "Barcode / UPC / EAN codes" look to be a sub-section as item numbers, we can fix that.

Yes, I'm aware, I wasn't paying attention that both value were the same until after the fact. I entered ISBN-13 into Item number on purpose. Putting ISBN-13 into barcode wasn't explicitly intentional, the barcode lookup website had a barcode so I typed in the value and didn't notice until after I submitted that the barcode they provided was also the ISBN-13 value.
From style guide (Presumably regarding barcodes not item numbers)
"ISBN codes are normally used on books and other products. These can be 10 or 13 digits long. If an item does not have a UPC, then enter the ISBN code"
From advanced style guide
"ISBN is an additional number that can be found on books and some video games. This number can be put into Description and not put into Item Number or Barcode fields."
I am positing that this is not what we should be doing, as well as pointing out the inconsistency. I propose that If UPC doesn't exist, enter ISBN-13 into barcode. I also propose that for books/strategy guides that ISBN is a valid value for the Item number field. So in the case of a book that has UPC and ISBN, Item number = ISBN-13 and Barcode = UPC... in the case of a book with no UPC, Item number = ISBN-10 and barcode = ISBN-13.

Both guides are written to consider no difference between games and books. Games are our #1 priority and the site layout is designed for games and there is no consideration for different data sets for different types of items. So books are bound by the game data rules, which is why ISBN can only go into description unless the item does not have a UPC/EAN/JAN.
Ideally, I'd prefer to either have different entry layouts based upon what type of item it is, or have a dedicated ISBN field.
I have modified the highlighted text in the Adv guide as it did not match the original style guide. New text:
ISBN is an additional number that can be found on books and some video games. This number can be put into Description and not put into Item Number field. If an item has an ISBN but does not have a UPC/EAN/JAN, then you can put the ISBN into the barcode field.

I understand what you're saying but that doesn't make a ton of sense to me. If ISBN does not belong in the item number field, what would go into the item number field potentially for strategy guides/books?
I definitely feel like if there is no valid information that would go into an item number field for strategy guides/books, at the very least we can have the conversation about putting up a vote to allow ISBN values in the item number fields for Books/Strategy guides. I understand that the values can still go in description, but description isn't a searchable field and ISBN should absolutely be in a searchable field. No need to add an ISBN field as item number is a perfect fit for ISBN as ISBN is literally an item number "assigned" by the "manufacturer".

If the book has an item number, then it would go into that field.
It is easier to have a rule that says ISBN goes into description than to have a ruleset like:
If it is a book the ISBN goes into item number, unless the item has an item number, then ISBN goes into description. If it is a game, the ISBN goes into item number, unless there item has an item number then the ISBN goes into description. If the item has an Item number and an ISBN but not a barcode, then item number goes into item number and ISBN goes into barcode?
You have to think in terms of all items not just games or books. What is the easiest we can make things for people and the current design of the site without having to bust out Visio to figure out where to put the ISBN number depending on what type of item it is.

I'll rephrase my question. Do any books have item numbers that are not ISBN values?
It seems to me it should be as simple as "If it is a book, the ISBN goes into the item number. ISBN-13 takes precedence over ISBN-10." That's it. No more is needed if you really want it as simple as possible. "If there is no UPC, there is no UPC."
To my knowledge... Every book in the DB that has an item number associated to it is displaying an ISBN value.

Do they or can they? Magazines and comics have their issue number. Some books have item numbers as well as ISBN numbers. I'm not talking about what is in the database, and we should not think that "this is what is in the database, so it is how it is supposed to go". Heck even just looking at the swag - print media section shows it to be not in compliance with the style guide, many bad pictures and titles and items that are not game related that are in there.

Right, but do Magazines and comics have isbn numbers? If magazines and comics don't have isbn, it's kind of a moot argument.
And yes, a thought had occurred to me that there could be a company who produces books in a series thus you may have Company-Book# as a sort of "item number", which again I see that as something that would be the reason to not use isbn across the board with our current guidelines. To which I posit that ISBN should take precedence over the existing item number guideline for books. But I think that goes into the argument of publisher vs manufacturer. Publisher decides Company-Book#, Manufacturer "decides" ISBN, ISBN applies to our existing item number guidelines whereas Publisher item number wouldn't. Like for LRG games, item number is the Sony determine item number not the LRG LRG-### number. So even applying existing rules ISBN should go in item number over any other number for a book.

I think we can just easily make a per-category rule for this, whereas items in Swag Print Media can put ISBN as item number. It would be no different than the rules that were made for other categories where the items being tracked are not what the site was designed for. If you think this would be a good idea, I can put it into the style guide. Since as you say most books have ISBN in their item number already, it would make sense that a vote wouldn't be needed if we make it a category specific rule.

Then I would say yes, but to confirm (Because I'm raring to go create/update a bunch of strategy guides/books) ISBN goes in item number (13 over 10) and only UPC goes in barcode?

Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139... - White Snow Edition (https://vgcollect.com/item/198976)
For items such as collector's editions that do not actually include the game, how should they be categorized? While both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions were sold, neither actually include a physical copy of the game and contain the same bonus items. Instead, the game comes packaged individually inside the mailing packaging and is not found inside the collector's packaging. My thought was to categorize this item in Other since it represents all PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions across every region.
Currently, Gal Gun 2 - Free Hugs Edition (https://vgcollect.com/item/173031)—which is similar in scenario to White Snow Edition—is classified as Other, although this information is original to the entry. On the other hand, Oxenfree - Collector's Edition (https://vgcollect.com/item/101514) currently is placed in Swag - Carrying Cases & Bags, which makes sense on a practical basis but maybe not quite representative of the item in relation to other collector's editions like it.
Nintendo Hachi no Su Game (https://vgcollect.com/item/198794)
Are non-video game items relating to video games companies like this allowed? To me, this seems no different than if we were to catalog Sony televisions. There have been a lot of similar entries created recently.
Stealth feat. Wipeout Pure - Stealth Edition (https://vgcollect.com/item/197333)
I don't think I've asked about this specific item, but I'm curious--should this be classified as a PSP demo? Its [NA] counterpart (https://vgcollect.com/item/69904) is currently categorized as such (from a previous edit of mine), as it includes a demo for Wipeout Pure. I'm not sure what the general guidelines for items like this are. Choose the category that most accurately describes the item based on packaging? (which is very remindful of the ongoing Xbox One / Series X conversation.) The items having CERO and ESRB ratings were big factors as to why I attempted to re-categorize to PlayStation Portable Demo.

Nier/GalGun: see Platform post of Adv Guide. Basically, this type of item can be put into an appropriate swag category or in Other. It cannot be in the game category.
Stealth: this is a movie with a game. it should be in the movie category. Would be no different than other movies with games or game demos such as Bloodrayne (https://vgcollect.com/item/195736) or a music cd with a game on it like P.O.D. - Payable on Death (https://vgcollect.com/item/141393)
Non video game items created by video game companies: no, these items are out of scope for the site. They should be reported so that they can be removed.
Also noting that you reported the Nier entry for being in the wrong category, but did not also report that the Nier entry had a watermarked image. Entries with watermarked images should be reported here as well so that those images can be removed.
EDIT: also be aware that Admins make mistakes too, so there should be no fear in reporting errors that an Admin has made.

I think it is because of the text that was remaining in description. The current description is invalid, so if you were to edit it to put in the additional info, the old description should be removed before submitting.

I noticed there is something fishy going on with the PS4 listing for Batman: Arkham Returns
https://vgcollect.com/item/113977 - All the details have been stripped (I know for a fact this listing has a cover image at the very least) and now there is a new listing:
https://vgcollect.com/item/197940
This listing is newer and has a PEGI Rating while the other one doesn't... but I don't recall there being a UK version with a BBFC rating - I'm from the UK and my version has the PEGI classification. There are 50+ people which have the 1st listing in their collection, so I thought it would be wiser to edit that version, yet all my edits got rejected...

They are not video game items, meaning there is no reference a video game. Even a name of a system being present would be enough, or even a picture of Sonic or something. Or for a Nintendo made item, a picture of Mario would be enough to have it get an item.
We even allow things like computer peripherals like video cards or sound cards if the box has a picture relating to a video game, even if the box or item doesn't come with a game. A slight reference like that is allowed to have an item in the db.

Sonic the Hedgehog (https://vgcollect.com/item/16976)
- This is a port of the original 1991 game (https://vgcollect.com/item/71) from the Sega Genesis.
- Official XBox Marketplace Listing (https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-us/Product/Sonic-The-Hedgehog/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258410864)
Sonic the Hedgehog (https://vgcollect.com/item/143424)
- This is "Sonic 2006" (as seen by the Alt-Name of the person who created the listing). It was released digitally on XBox Live in 2010 after originally releasing back in 2006 on physical media.
- Official XBox Marketplace Listing (https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-us/Product/SONIC-THE-HEDGEHOG/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802534507d6)
As you can see, the Sonic 2006 listing has the incorrect Box Art (looks like someone uploaded the incorrect art back on 08-26-2019, and it was approved).
I tried to update it to be accurate (and to prevent confusion, since as of now it looks like 2 duplicates of the classic game port at a glance, and the alt-name is the only way to tell this is "Sonic 2006" version of "Sonic The Hedgehog")
Is there a way to get the art updated to the correct version for "Sonic 2006" and it be approved this time?

Apps are allowed, but only if they are or were from the online storefront. The type of apps we disallow are the ones that are only built-in and aren't on the store. If any of these are of that type, let us know which ones.
From the Platform post on the Adv Guide:
Built-in Games and Software
Built-in games for a console should not get a separate entry. Examples of this would be Snail Maze for Sega Master System, which is a game you can play on some consoles without inserting a cartridge. This game is considered part of the SMS and should be put into the description of the appropriate SMS console release entries.
Likewise, any built-in games or software on modern consoles that have online store platforms should not have a separate entry created.
Examples of this would be built-in apps that come pre-installed on the Nintendo 3DS and are not downloadable from the platform store, such as Nintendo Zone, Face Raiders, Mii Plaza or the eShop itself. Non-game apps are currently allowed to have entries, such as YouTube.

Hi!
I just found a PS4 game where the standard release has been displaying metadata (pic & item number) for a special release.
I tried to do what I could, but I need a bit of DBA assistance to make things accurate.
PLATFORM: PlayStation 4 (NA)
Star Wars Battlefront II has a long-existing record https://vgcollect.com/item/126853 (https://vgcollect.com/item/126853) (created June 2017) which has since Jan 2020 shown very non-standard item number & back box art (having UPC replaced by "NOT FOR RESALE"). Obviously, the vast majority of users showing that game in their collection do NOT have the "Not For Resale" edition...
Usually when I try to correct a mishap like this, my edits get denied (it would be nifty if we could submit explanations/justifications for edits), so here I'm dumping my recently-submitted actions & a DBA request:
Minutes ago I created a NEW Star Wars Battlefront II record here: https://vgcollect.com/item/200169 (https://vgcollect.com/item/200169)
On that record I specified the correct information for the standard Battlefront II release (which I own and can confirm).
Separately, I also submitted an edit to the original record to change its name by appending this text: " (Not For Resale)". That edit is still pending....
MY REQUEST:
Could someone with DBA rights do one of?:
- Update the original listing (126853) so that 118 of its 119 current users (all but "bigbossman") having that game in their "collection" instead have the new listing (200169) in their collection.
- OR: Perform a switcheroo for a few key elements between the two records: SWAP A: Box Back Art, B: Title (assuming "(Not For Resale)" gets approved), & C: move user "bigbossman" from having the original title in his collection to having the new title (I can move myself from new title to old)
I hope that makes sense. Sorry for the verbosity! :)

Hi,
This isn't a GBC game https://www.vgcollect.com/item/100063. It looks like there is a correct GB entry here https://www.vgcollect.com/item/14103
Interestingly, the wrong entry has a good photo of the cartridge which should migrate over to the correct entry.

So apparently Sanyo didn't publish their own console? ???
I submitted an edit for
https://www.vgcollect.com/item/63335
and put "Sanyo" as the publisher. But it was rejected. Most other consoles in the 3DO hardware section have their manufacturer as the "Publisher" field. Why not this time?

From the style guide:
Developer and Publisher
Because the original design of the database was primarily for games, non-game items do not use the Developer and Publisher fields the same way. Here is a quick list of non-game items and which fields are appropriate:
- Hardware and Accessories: Uses Developer field but Publisher should be blank
Any entries representing hardware which have information entered into the Publisher field are incorrect. Unfortunately, once information is entered into the Developer or Publisher field, it cannot be removed by normal means—it can only be updated
-

Oh, so that would explain why some console entries have something in Publisher field and some don't.

Correct. Make an updated edit for it to be approved.
Edit: Actually, let's wait for tripredacus to get his word on it. I'm finding a conflicting answer, although one not officially from the style guide. Perhaps the style guide needs to be updated.
So far on just this entry:
https://vgcollect.com/item/23134
The Developer and Publisher should not be set on hardware. Normally this is fixed by changing it to "Select" (the first option) but on this entry, when I submit the edit with both cleared, the edits never appear in the approval queue.
Personally, I'd rather not have either Publisher or Developer filled out for hardware entries. Manufacturers—not publishers or developers—create the hardware.
-
Developer OK for hardware/accessories but it is complicated as knowing who is and isn't the developer. Sometimes the developer is not the manufacturer or whoever's brand name is on an item. An example of this can be found in accessories where "someone" develops the hardware but is then private branded or has a custom shell and sold under the name of many different companies. Sometimes an actual developer of hardware/accessory is a person.
In general I'd recommend to not set developer on this type of entry but the Style Guide is correct as far as Yes for Developer and No for Publisher.
Hardware isn't "published" so there should not be publisher set. We already have a bug report regarding the situation where Developer or Publisher cannot be blanked out or set to default like you could with say... rating or the other drop-downs.
This is but one of many situations where the item entry layout, being designed to track "games" does not match up to the type of information you'd want to have for hardware. Same thing with books or toys or movies or whatever else we have entries for that aren't games.

It's usually because the old image is still stored in your internet browser's cache. If you clear it out, your new image should appear.

If you're referring to Sanyo 3DO TRY, (https://vgcollect.com/item/63335) the image has already been updated by you and can be seen, in case you're wondering why your recent edit for it was rejected.
-
You can do a hard refresh on the page with Ctrl+F5 to see if that causes the image to update in your browser.
-
I tried hard refresh and the original image was still there. I waited a few days and still not changed so I submitted again. It was rejected as information was already listed. So the admin definetly sees the correct image, but for some reason I don't. I deleted everything from Google Chrome's settings tab and now it finally appears. CTrl+F5 didn't work for me but doing it manually from settings fixed it.

There are two main things that make for the use of a hyphen in a game item name
1. It is n Edition in name, such as Collector's Edition, Limited Edition and translations such as Genteiban
2. It is an reprint series like Greatest Hits or Ricochet or the like.
So even the use of Remastered (without Edition suffix) is not enough to use a hyphen.

Hi,
first post here.
I was just about to add the German version of Star Fox Adventures to the database (since it is apparently missing) when I stumbled upon this entry:
https://vgcollect.com/item/26561
Front and back cover as well as the barcode are from the German version but it states an ELSPA rating instead of the USK one that's on the box. The item number is from the disc which appears to be the same for multiple regions.
The title has no country code so it’s unclear what the original intent was.
-
Added [DE] TLD to that entry. Moved item number to description. Added correct item number.
Also merged the dupe [FR] entry in that category.
And removed the TLD from the UK entry.
-
Just added Tony Hawk's American Wasteland [DE] in Gamecube [EU]
https://vgcollect.com/item/202578 (https://vgcollect.com/item/202578)
Shortly after I added that entry I noticed that the other existing entry (which I took for the UK Version) has a a DE cover as well.
https://vgcollect.com/item/62110 (https://vgcollect.com/item/62110)
That entry has no other identifying attributes.
Not sure whether my new entry was unnecessary and should have extended the existing entry instead.

Got it! I thought that Remstered versions were jusr generally considered "editions". Either way have of the Spongebobs are backwards, lol.

Yeah, I'm not sure why it's so hard to find images of the US version. I'll just take photos of the box I've got.

Your two previous submissions were rejected as they included hyphens within the Item Number field. However, the item number present on the packaging uses spaces instead of hyphens. If you re-submit an edit with this information, it can be approved.
Item Number
The item number is for an identifying number that exists on the packaging.
It should be enters as it appears with exception to Sony item numbers which must follow this format: XXXX-NNNNN, using the hyphen even if it is not present.

There are two reasons
1. The image was likely too large
2. the image format you uploaded is .PNG which is not supported by the site (this type of file is what creates the black box images)
When you upload an image and submit on an entry, the site is doing 2 things.
The first thing it is doing is running a timer.
The second thing it is doing is that it is copying the image from your browser to a temporary location on the server. Then it runs the image file through the process to transform the image into what the site will ultimately use. This means it opens the temp file, then performs the resize operation, then saves a new temp file (or replaces the existing), all while it sends the required info to the Edit Queue or the commands to create a new entry, whichever it is you are doing. If you are uploading 2 images, it does it twice, or maybe 3 if three. Unknown to me if it is synchronous for your request, or with others, or if there is an internal operation queue or pecking order...
BUT back on track. If the amount of time it takes to complete the tasks in the "second thing" takes longer than the timer is set to go for, then you will have things like:
- updates that never show up in the queue
- broken entries (the 0 or -- blank entries)
Remember that the largest image (in dimensions) that ends up on an entry is 200 px wide, so you can shrink an image down all the way to 200 px wide and it won't be distorted by the site. I do not know what the capable top end of image dimensions are but as I said I always try to shrink down to 800 px width at the most for the images I upload myself.
So for this, shrink the image dimension size down and export to JPG type instead of PNG.
I'll send it back up, then. Thanks!

It is done now but in the future you can submit an edit to change the category.
One note about the description you put, when you use something like "additional item number" on its own, you should be putting where that item number is. Is it on the front, back or spine?

Hi,
I recently went through some of the UK Piggyback strategy guides as there were a few which weren't listed.
I noticed the guide for Final Fantasy XII was listed wrong and went to change it and since it has been edited our of proportion!
It's now just listed as Final Fantasy XII... which makes it sound like a game...
https://vgcollect.com/item/39356
I have found details on the official Piggyback website which states it as the Collector's Edition version of the guide. So I have been trying to name it as
Final Fantasy XII The Complete Official Guide - Collector's Edition
Yet for some reason the mod/editor but the other details further down in the listing instead...
I'll leave a link to the website which displays details on the guide below:

I recently went through some of the UK Piggyback strategy guides as there were a few which weren't listed.
When looking at any item that is entered into the database, it's important to inspect just how the item is labeled and not how it was marketed as online. From the images I found (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143951352182?hash=item21842b5176:g:qgAAAOSwjVtfs9ND) of the guide book online, the item is non-descript aside from the front cover text "Final Fantasy XII," with zero indication that the item is "The Complete Official Guide" or of its being a "Collector's Edition." I've just updated all the Final Fantasy XII entries within the Strategy Guide category. There are now three entries which could be named "Final Fantasy XII," so I've updated the other two entries to include a descriptor in their entry name titles.
Recently, there was a relevant thread (https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,11412.0.html) regarding how items categorized as Strategy Guide should be analyzed to determine its corresponding entry's Item Name, which I would encourage you to read, as every new entry you created yesterday had Item Names with an incorrect title format. You were relying on the use of hyphens when instead the colon is correct. Hyphens are reserved for signifying an item's edition. Over the years, style guide rules have changed, meaning many entries have incorrect Item Names and other information. Do not rely on previously created entries to determine how a new entry should be formatted; instead, consult the style guide.
Also, I will note that your edits for 105125 (https://vgcollect.com/item/105125) and 105126 (https://vgcollect.com/item/105126) were rejected because you are attempting to convert the entries into something they were not intended to represent. I haven't been able to determine either of the items' proper names given the low resolution of the images, but I can tell that the item names are not in English, as the images you presented were. Feel free to create new entries for these items.
-
Additionally, this particular guide is using a photo that is apparently missing the dust jacket. The dust jacket has more information, presuming this is the correct item:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124833889359
If this is the same as this Piggyback book you are posting about, the front image should be replaced and then the item can be named:
Final Fantasy XII: The Complete Guide - Limited Edition

ID'ed and fixed titles for those two. They are the ones from Spain.

I just had time to get the guide out and see that yes it is indeed Limited Edition - Unlike the website :P
I also took photos of the guides front and back too for the listing.
So are we settled with the name for the listing being:
Final Fantasy XII: The Complete Guide - Limited Edition ?
I will make a separate listing for the KH guide - the image was so small I didn't notice the language difference.

Despite the logo not having the Inc. part in it, three references do:

https://www.mobygames.com/company/hand-inc
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/company/78226-hand-inc
It doesn't matter to me, and I personally feel that business type designations should not be used unless required, however I do not think there is any directive on name formatting for Developers or Publishers. So not really sure whether we would change it because "it looks better" vs information accuracy. Not that I believe there would be some huge outcry from the community by changing this one name... LMK what you think.

I'm of the same mind that business type designations should not be used. I've never been a fan of business type designations is mainly because no one ever says in a conversation "Hey, did you play that new game from Square Enix Co. Ltd?" or something similar.
Plus, personally I don't think this site in particular is very interested in the business side of these corporations, at least as far as database entries are concerned. If it is, it really shouldn't be.

I think because that Mobygames has it in their name, we are better off matching their name and keeping it like it is for now.

Please remove the "Comes with 4 pin badges" in the description of

That listing is for the standard edition which does not come with any pins. Only the Day One Edition has them.

Created this entry and after submitting I noticed a typo. I went to edit said typo and when I checked my edits, I noticed it had been rejected. Then I checked the entry and see completely different (and lacking) info. Disc Item Number is gone and details about what's included are also absent like the number of pages of the artbook. ???

When an item within the database has multiple packaging layers such as many Collector's Edition items do, I disregard information that is found within sub-layer items, such as what is inside a game case. At the same time, the entry isn't for the game—it's for the collector's edition package as a whole. More detailed descriptions can be added to entries that are representative of that particular item itself. So, in this instance, if an entry was to be created for Akiba's Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed the game itself, adding information as to what's inside (disc item numbers, Let's Visit booklet, reversible cover art) would be acceptable. To me, this helps prevent multiple entries being provided the same information. I don't necessarily think that this approach to stylization is spelled out in the style guide, or if it is an unwritten rule, or if it is just my matter of thinking. If it isn't ideal, then I'll let tripredacus give their word on it, and a subsequent edit can be made.
As far as adding different information to the 10th Anniversary Edition entry, I added more specific information such as actual item names while being concise with my wording. Additionally, I disregarded all mentions to the ItemName title itself, as the style guide explains. Information in the Description field does not need to repeat information that is found in other fields.
Description
Information Duplication and Things to Avoid
Information that exists on the entry in another field should not also be put into description. Examples:
- do not refer to the item by its title, as this is present in the Item Name
-
The part about not re-using information is to prevent things like using the name from the title (not necessarily the name of the game) in the description. It was specifically to combat people using a Desc like so:
"Akiba's Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed 10th Anniversary Edition includes an original soundtrack..."
Or to put into Description the barcode, or item number, release date/etc that is put into the other fields already. It is OK to put in a Dev or Pub if they are not options in the dropdown.
For this one, the Includes is a good start but
- "sealed game" doesn't help anyone. Here you can put in the name of the game as well as the item number or barcode on it. If you want to put in the item number from the disc then it can be done on this line OR above the includes list.
- remove the term "exclusive" from the Artbook item unless this is actually in the name. Now, in this line item it is OK to put how many pages there are if you want.
- if the item contains a soundtrack CD and we know the name of it, use the name of the CD, if not then it should be put as "soundtrack CD". Terms like "Original Soundtrack" is obviously copied from the marketing material and we should not be using that.
There are some considerations to have where you need not always put every bit of info in a Description for items included inside of a set, especially for items that have or can have their own entries.
Examples
- If the Game inside is also available separately, then it is better to put things like what paperwork is inside it, or the disc item number onto that entry instead.
- the artbook is allowed a separate entry in the books section, so the info like how many pages are in it should be on that entry for sure and whatever other details.
- same goes for an audio CD, they can get entries made in the Swag Soundtrack section where you can put in anything even IFPI numbers if you want.
For these, you just want to make sure that the description in the LE Includes section has enough identifying info so that you could find the other entries if you looked for them. This is why using the generic terms like "game name" or "artbook" or "original soundtrack" is not a good idea. Maybe someday we can link things together to make it easier to know exactly what those things are.

This is the cover—or the alternate cover, anyway. You can find an online listing for it here (https://www.ebay.com/itm/324514231598). It was offered as a less explicit version for "sensitive shoppers," as Atlus is on record saying (https://www.siliconera.com/alternate-catherine-cover-art-for-north-america/).

Why did Sneak King (https://www.vgcollect.com/item/11185 (https://www.vgcollect.com/item/11185)) move platforms from Xbox 360 to Xbox? It was Xbox 360 for a long time, and that my vote for its location as:
- Sneak King released one year into the Xbox 360 lifecycle
- compatibility is listed for Xbox 360 before original Xbox on the box art
- both Burger King and Microsoft advertised it for the new 360 console
If folks want an Xbox version listed, entries for both platforms should exist. Then last - whoever initiated this, missed the other 67% of King Games in this situation - Big Bumpin' (https://www.vgcollect.com/item/11184) and PocketBike Racer (https://www.vgcollect.com/item/11186).
Please move Sneak King back to Xbox 360 platform. Thank you

As Cartagia has mentioned, there was a recent community discussion and later poll to determine how co-branded items should be categorized.

Big Bumpin' and PocketBike Racer have both been moved to Xbox [NA].

trade symbols
In general, you should not use trade symbols such as ®, ©, ℠ or ™ in the Box Text.
The only times that this should be used is when a variation is present and these types of symbols are part of the variation.

Hi! Slowly trying get to grips with the formatting rules while adding my Switch collection to the database here (sorry to whoever moderates my edits, for all the rejected ones, I hope they'll improve going forward :) ).
One particular rejection I do not agree with. It was to the following entry: https://vgcollect.com/item/187561 and the notification said that the info I supplied was incorrect. But I don't think it is.
Cross referencing the barcode, it matches my boxed version, as does the item number. The boxed version contains the same box of pins that the North American "Day-one Edition" (https://vgcollect.com/item/194919) does, but in Europe it was just sold under the name "Double Pack", which again is what the database entry mentioned seems to refer to.
The game case within the box has a separate barcode (5056280422884) and has different artwork on the cover than the box (a lot more similar to the Japanese non-double pack release (https://vgcollect.com/item/164134)).
The EAN can be seen in this listing, proving that it refers to the box with game and merch: https://www.proshop.se/Spel/Robotics-Notes-Double-Pack-Collector-Edition-Nintendo-Switch-Aeventyr/2884385
In the above listing you can also see the cover of the game case that I am refering to.
I can take some pictures of my own copy to prove it if needed, but my camera is too potato to produce database-worthy images.

Unless I misread what you posted, you don't say what you tried to change that got rejected.
This entry: https://vgcollect.com/item/187561
matches this physical release: https://ebay.com/itm/114978541119
Has green triangle.
While there is no entry for this release: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115000852682
which would seem to be [ES][FR], despite being sold in Italy it has no SIAE label.
Has purple triangle.
There is no entry for the game case from inside of the purple triangle box.
I cannot find a picture of the case from inside the green triangle box.
There is no entry for the RubberRoad pin box in Swag category.
In regards to your proshop.se link, we cannot use an EAN from a website like that as being proof of anything. Too often a website will use wrong region EAN (especially for EU website or website that imports EU items) or will use a pre-release/invalid EAN or an EAN that was never used on an actual item. So for proving EAN usage it always has to be photo proof.

I handled your latest edits. Concerning 187561 (https://vgcollect.com/item/187561), I knew beforehand that the Day One Edition had released in North America and rejected your Description edit submission not fully knowing if the same item had also released in Europe, as I couldn't find any listings for it online. If you submit the information again, it can be approved, since we know that only the standard Double Pack released in Europe.

I'd like to know how these 3 (4) pictures get rejected compared to the unrecognizable ones that we currently have for this listing
https://vgcollect.com/item/110305
Also it's a steel case it's not a cardboard box how are people going to recognize it if you only show it partly from the front this make no sense to me not to mention a pretty damaged example aswell i don't see why we can't show a nice example as a whole this is way better than the current picture. not to mention the form factor we can't treat it the same way as a regular boxed game even with a nice example cut out it would be unrecognizable. it's in a different shape compared to a cardboard box and it's rounded
(https://i.imgur.com/U6xyAyB.jpg)
Also I don't see how content pics are denied wich is definitely nice for these kinda items
(https://i.imgur.com/aSsG4NR.jpg)

I finally also don't see how this picture of cardridge is worse than the discolored version we have atm
(https://i.imgur.com/orbnrw6.jpg)
What are the reasons behind rejecting these perfectly fine images especially compared to what we have atm. I don't see any water marks
I don't really see a reason how especially the first picture is denied.
-
For all matters related to why submitted edits were previously rejected, please post here (https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,10555.0.html).
Also it's a steel case it's not a cardboard box
Also I don't see how content pics are denied wich is definitely nice for these kinda items
In the Description field, it is detailed how this item is a tin box while also noting what contents are included with this release. Presently, nowhere in the entry does it state that this item is contained in cardboard packaging. In the Item Images post (https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,10837.msg177804.html#msg177804) of the Advanced Style Guide, you can find the rule regarding how images should be treated for the cart slot.
Cart art slot for physical Games, Consoles and Accessories
The third art slot, refered to as "cart-art" or cart/disc/item, must be of game or item iteself and not include additional items in the picture. For example, an add-on for a console should not also show the console. A game should show the cart, disk or disc image and not additional packaging. If there are multiple discs, they can be present. Discs should not be shown in the case, but on their own. Image quality rules prevail, we will allow a low quality image if being used as proof of existance.
I finally also don't see how this picture of cardridge is worse than the discolored version we have atm
In the same post of the Advanced Style Guide, you can also find this general rule that applies to all submitted images:
General image rules
Should be cropped to the edges of the focus of the picture
All four of your submitted images are poorer quality when compared to the images that currently represent this entry, while none of them accurately depict the back of this item, as you repeatedly submitted images to occupy this slot erroneously.
I don't see any water marks
Your submissions were not rejected due to watermarks being present.
-
All four of your submitted images are poorer quality when compared to the images that currently represent this entry
The back I understand, no contents pics allowed was a bit different some time ago. but the first picture is definitely the front and a way better image I'd say.
Highest Image quality in that case is quite a questionable rule to me considering the image quality differences are very hard to spot when they get cropped to a tiny image on the site. if they retained their original size sure, but If I'm not mistaken you don't have acces to that when you look at the database.
Interesting system, it is what it is I guess.

What a rude response. No wonder so many things are missing on here.

Cart art always was to be the cart of disc on a game entry. This is from the original Style Guide that was put into the forum. While there may have been a period of time where people were putting "content pictures" in cart art on game entries, they were doing it on their own volition.
If the picture you put here is of the item you own, then it would be a better pic for front because it doesn't have the rust in the current pic. But the replacement picture should be formatted or angled in the same way. IDK if you can find a good way to take a pic of the lid from straight above without getting a reflection on it, or if it is possible to scan that part.
-
I was able to find a better photo of the packaging with minimal glare that I would like to believe satisfies everyone and have updated the image art.

looks good, nice improvement indeed

My edit: 5051892202657
Rejected for: 5051892202893
There are two UK versions for this item. However, this entry's back image—which is original to the entry's submission—features the barcode ending in 2893. That is why your submission was rejected. I wasn't able to discern any differences from the two items aside from barcode information, but the spine for each item may differ from another, as well as what content is found inside the packaging.
5051892202657 (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224527859098)

-
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 (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.

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!

This item is similar to the U.A.E. / Saudi Arabia / Malaysia / Singapore items like this (https://vgcollect.com/item/167513), which are items that were released across Asia but retain an ESRB rating. Both 173348 and Kemco RPG Omnibus (https://vgcollect.com/item/175617) 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 (https://vgcollect.com/item/39626) 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 (https://www.ebay.fr/itm/265228210892) 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.

edit to change the title from "VenusBlood FRONTIER" to "VenusBlood FRONTIER International - Package Edition" was rejected, not quite sure why (but I'm guessing either all-caps subtitle or "Package Edition"). Anyway, I'd rather just ask someone here to figure it out, than risk another rejected edit.
So, current title is not correct, there is no such thing as "VenusBlood FRONTIER" in the west (and the platform is PC [NA] - physical PC release in NA region), western release uses the "International" suffix in title, as seen here https://ninetail.info/td10I/VenusBloodFRONTIER_intl_en.html (slightly NSFW, screenshot of the important part: https://ibb.co/K5MfyHh)
As for "Package Edition", vndb refers to this release as "Package Edition", original kickstarter referred to all physical tiers as "Physical Package"
Also, the naming of this item should be consistent with https://vgcollect.com/item/209520 they are from same publisher, in same series, use same "International" suffix for western release, in both cases vndb refers to those releases as "Package Edition" while on a kickstarter they are referred to as "Physical Package".

The reject was indeed because of the caps.
Going to have to take your word on whether "Package Edition" is actually present on the box, since I can't find any pictures of the actual box for this or the other one you linked to. I already corrected the caps issue on that other entry.

okay, this is awkward beacause I just looked over both of the boxes and there is no "Package Edition", so yeah......
I'm guessing then
https://vgcollect.com/item/172267 should be just "VenusBlood Frontier International"

Please cancel my pending edits on Pacific Carriers [RU] & Pacific Carriers. Realised I was correct originally with the barcode 4260231340610 being released with english box art but russian subtitles so there isn't a reason to include the barcode in the title.

Edits rejected. I can't find images for the RU release, so I'll take your word on its details.
That being said, refrain from using the barcode information as a title descriptor unless absolutely necessary. I know that this particular item has no outer item number, so, if the information you originally submitted had been correct, something else such as varying ratings or regional packaging text would be more ideal to use.

Somebody changed the listing I recently created here: https://www.vgcollect.com/item/210990
The title is incorrect now. It should have (N-Z) at the end of the title. If you look at the cover of the book, it does indeed say N-Z at the end of the title.
Please change the title for this listing the way it originally was.

I updated the entry name so that "Vol" was changed to "Volume," as the title showcases. I omitted "N-Z" from the title as it was originally set within parenthesis which are reserved for title descriptors and doesn't seem that much of a title component. However, I'll update it once more so that it reads "SNES Omnibus, The: The Super Nintendo and Its Games Volume 2: N-Z."

Try the Ctrl+F5 on any of the entries to see if the image changes. Using just the 7th Dragon III Code, I changed the art to one of the download release arts on Mobygames
https://vgcollect.com/item/178967
and the image is matching the new one. The art that was previously showing for me was the same as what GameFAQs has for the EU download release:

To clarify my edit on - https://vgcollect.com/item/107498 as its slightly confusing.
The item number reflects a limited edition version. For some reason the Italian version of the game does not have the Limited edition text on the front cover but does on the back. Not certain why this is the case.
