Not sure where to ask about rejected edits, so here goes:

I've recently been updating a lot of Xbox Live digital games, as many of them are using the incorrect images (using the retail box images with the ESRB ratings, etc.) as opposed to the ones from the Xbox site/console interface:

For instance, using the first image here instead of the correct second image for the digital XBox Live title:
Incorrect
Correct


While making many of these updates, I've gone ahead and added a bunch of other official info as well. In this process I have had a handful of my Box Text edits rejected. Sometimes they are approved, and other times they are rejected with no consistency. Considering I am following the instructions in the style guide, I would assume these would all be approved.

Digital games lack a traditional box, and so they also lack box text. In this case, we can use the description text from the source as the box text. For example, if I were to add The Simpson's Arcade Game to the database, the box text would be the summary that is listed on Xbox.com.

So for the Box Text field I have been copying the summary from the game overview at http://marketplace.xbox.com/ which is the same as the summaries on the actual user interface on the XBox 360 console as well. However, these were rejected today even though I followed those instructions:

Hitman Absolution: http://vgcollect.com/item/58034
Dead Space: http://vgcollect.com/item/72669
Dishonored: http://vgcollect.com/item/63595
DMC HD Collection: http://vgcollect.com/item/94339
Battlefield Bad Company 2: http://vgcollect.com/item/69264
Alan Wake: http://vgcollect.com/item/49020
Metro Last Light: http://vgcollect.com/item/88012
LEGO LOTR: http://vgcollect.com/item/90070
Mafia II: http://vgcollect.com/item/83036
Mirror's Edge: http://vgcollect.com/item/62201
Burnout Paradise: http://vgcollect.com/item/72755

Any idea why these are being rejected? At first I assumed this sort of info fits under description as opposed to box text, since digital games have no box, but according to the style guide, they do indeed go in box text, exactly as I'm submitting them.

http://vgcollect.com/item/46574 - I don't believe there was ever a US release. Wikipedia seems to agree with me and the images look like they're the EU version. 

EU version for reference...consolidation perhaps?  :P

Also...what is this... http://vgcollect.com/item/96471 ???

I agree, it is a dupe with the one in the wrong category.

The edit can be submitted through the "Edit this Item" link at the top right of the item record :)  You're allowed to change the platform from there.

I submitted the edit along with other info for the title.

Not sure where to ask about rejected edits, so here goes:

Hm, looks like the image edit went through (no ESRB rating in the corner any more) for DMC HD, and it sounds like the box text that you're adding from overview should be fine.  I've done similar things for eShop items, and they've been ok. Hopefully one of the admins can look into it and let you know!

Yeah all the other edits were approved (anything from image, to genre, release date, etc.), but the Box Text fields are being rejected the majority of the time (they are approved maybe 10% of the time). No idea why though.

Were you  maybe including the extraneous stuff about online content or anything? sometimes those things are lumped in with the overview text.

Not sure why they would have been rejected either.  It's possible that an admin may have accidentally thought you were editing the description field rather than the box text field.  This is a common mistake people make when editing digital entries on the site.  If you resubmit the edits they should be accepted this time.  I apologize for the inconvenience.

I've been editing games from the PS2 EU category for weeks now and everything was going fine until yesterday when i've tried to edit the french version of Summoner 2, almost all the edits got accepted but one didn't, the box text field was rejected (reason : "Action Not Allowed"), i don't really understand why ? All box text i've edited until now was accepted without any problem (even when i do an error and put it in the description field...  :-[) but this one was rejected, is there a specific reason ? is this because it's a non-english version (the style guide doesn't say anything about it) ?

And i've found an error in the Vectrex Eu section, Star Trek: The Motion Picture have not been released in Europe under that name, it's been released as Star Ship who is already in database too (some problems with the Star Trek name i guess, same thing happened in japan where it's been released as Harmagedon).

Looks like we have a new guy not sure about how to properly search or how things are sorted. I found these entries on the frontpage, all of them are wrong and need to be deleted. They either already exists under the real name, or they do not belong in this region [EU]
