Video Game Database Discussion / Barcode rejected?

« on: February 25, 2017, 10:00:12 pm »

Ok, why would this edit be rejected? I added the barcode for The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (EU) straight from my own copy of the game, and it happens to have the same barcode as the US version. Rejection of an edit with no way to contest it and a vague "please see the guide" as reason is really frustrating..

Video Game Database Discussion / Language edits in title rejected

« on: February 17, 2017, 11:14:54 am »

I tried to edit these entries of Donkey Kong Country [FR] and Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest [FR] to reflect the languages that are listed on the box and manual. The packaging features English, Dutch and French text, so just [FR] on it would be incomplete. But when I tried to enter that information in the title, they got rejected. I don't see why my edits are being rejected, especially when other entries have this as well and some of my other edits where I did the same thing got approved.

Site Feedback / Grouping of same title releases

« on: February 05, 2017, 12:57:32 pm »

I don't know if this has been suggested yet, but it would be nice to have grouping of same title releases. What I mean by that is take for example the game The Lion King (1994). There are many different versions of it, and it would be nice if all of those were grouped together in a unified and clear way so that when you search the Lion king, the first result would be the grouping of the Lion King (unless you're typing a specific barcode or whatever). If you're familiar with discogs.com for example, they use master entries that hold all of the different variations of an album. Something similar would help negate the clutter of all of the different versions (and duplicates) of videogames.
