my release-date edit for the following item was rejected:

referring to segaretros UK-release date May 94 (EU release date 1995)
... according to german Sega Magazin, Issue September 1995, Page 84, the release (at least in Germany) was July that year:

Is there any reason to believe there is a regional variant specific to Germany for Wizard Pinball which this information is about? MobyGames lists 1995 for a UK release date, as well. So unless there isn't a German-specific release and instead only a broad European release, then July 1995 should be fine to submit. If we can't confirm the possibility of other regional variant items including from Germany, then there's nothing wrong with leaving the Release Date fields blank.
I went to the source that Sega Retro's May 1994 information cites, but I can find no actual information validating it where it's supposed to be found on page 10.
I don't actually know how Game Gear games were swept over europe back then, but I can't find any information on german-specific releases (of THIS game) in form of own packaging whatsoever, so ... I suggest that the version is the same (multilingual
EU packaging/manual). There's always the possibilty of altering release dates compared to the UK release due to commercial differences, but I interpret the data from the old german magazine as referring to specific availability on the german market. And July 1995 seems to be the only more precise info of release, that at least I can find anywhere since I only understand englisch and german...
