Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Error Listings and rejected edits 2024
« on: October 26, 2024, 05:07:21 pm »Unless I'm overlooking some small detail, then I see no reason for that artwork to be rejected if it's submitted to the correct entry.
it's to this listing which currently has incorrect german front cover art. while the rest is english including backside and field description
https://vgcollect.com/item/78152
also the supposed barcode for a right english version already has a seperate entry with different barcode so mine being rejected makes no sense
https://vgcollect.com/item/270642
I've already addressed how the above artwork is incorrect for 78152. So, if it's submitted to that entry, it will be rejected a third time. All items with barcode 4012927024300 feature the "Achtung!" label and a USK rating.
change the barcode than cause all the other info for said listing is for the english version.
Most people who added the game to the collection have an english version only a fraction has german
it's the most popular listing for this game
the listing has barely an german info in it aside from the barcode and front pic that was altered
I cannot attest for why the barcode was initially changed however I have provided the matching front image for the specific listing based on the barcode provided (Example listing: www.ebay.de/itm/296729807963 ).
In terms of what takes precedent, the barcode is what is relied on for what version a item is as its the clearest indication of what an item is meant to actually be. In many instances there is a mish-mash of information which needs to be corrected to a specific version.
I have not denied any image relating to these items and welcome anyone to add improved images where possible. A lot of the items listed can be difficult to gather great images of due to either their rarity or simply good images not being available at the time. Frequently I revisit items I have created when I become aware of a better image available to me.
Completely understand your point regarding users possibly having the wrong item in their collection now due to the barcode change 2 years ago. Perhaps it would be better to of merged users to the relevant version before the barcode change however I have no context as to what caused the changed and wasn't even a moderator at that point of time. *Edit* Possibly the back image?
Also, I get that it can be frustrating when an edit gets denied but please don't take it personally in any way. Frankly, you provide some of the better edits on the website. Having high quality Edits and scans submitted. It was great having edits come through for the guide section for example. The odd few edits may inevitably get denied (I was posting on the error thread almost every week so I know how that feels haha) but its just something that can happen with these niche items.
However, this is not to say that the entry names for this group of items are ideal. From my observation, 78152 and 270645 should have two entry name descriptors (e.g. (card text left / Achtung!) and (card text left / Deutsche Version)) while clarifying in the Description field that they were released in Germany. 270641 (and 270642) should omit the TLD. I will let nathan776 handle those actions, though.
I agree that the name changes would be more ideal and will change them momentarily.
