Listing Errors 2016

[fazerco]

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]

This one isnt a dupe, and yeah, you supposed to write it like that. Didnt check the other 3 do.

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) ?

Not sure why it would have been rejected.  There is no rule against having non-English box text.  In fact I have even submitted non-English box text myself before.  If you resubmit the edit it should be accepted.

Weird, with that first one, it looks like they tried to copy the original item's title to make a new record and ended up including the "Missing or bad data? Edit this Item Missing or bad data?  Edit this Item" part. So they must've found the original item but didn't know how to add it to their record (and instead submitted a  new one with the wrong title).

The second and forth item... is that a weird repro?

They're boots. Another reason why it would be nice to get unofficial released game into their own separate category that is not tied to a country. Also similar to how Demos are their own category.

I own 2 different Gamesharks for N64 and I know they released at least 3 versions for the N64.  (Regular v2.2, Pro v3.0, and Pro V3.2/3)

This isn't a thing, right?  It's just a part of your fat PS2

The only thing I can think of is if it is referring to the hard drive that goes into the expansion bay..

But no picture of the hard drive nor text about the hard drive?

I was thinking maybe referring to the Extension Bay Port Cover, but again, no picture of it.

So I did an edit and it was rejected, so I have a question.

Where, anywhere, is Grand Theft Auto San Andreas for 360 referred to, officially, as Grand Theft Auto San Andreas HD.  Nowhere on Xbox.com do I see HD on the cover art or title information.  The letters H and D do not reside next to each other at all on the description page for the game.

I think this is one of those situations where the "Alternative" name is being placed as the "Official" name.

Front Box Art is not correct, it shows the American Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 box art.

It looks like the original version was called "Xbox Originals" and that was removed, and later replaced with a version that supported 720p resolution among other things.

HD version does not equate "[Title] HD".  Even that site itself refers to it as just "[Title]" on the left side of the page.

Should I go modify the PS4 entry for the GTA titles as [Title] HD?  I mean, either we go by the official name or we don't.  The official title for the 360 port of GTA San Andreas is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.  Even the iOS version (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/grand-theft-auto-san-andreas/id763692274?mt=8&v0=WWW-NAUS-ITSTOP100-PAIDAPPS&l=en&ign-mpt=uo%3D4) doesn't say HD, but the 360 game is a direct port of that game.

Well the original version "Xbox Originals" seems to indicate that was used in its name officially, or as a category on their site. So the "SD" version should have that notation. And the "HD" version should not have HD in the name, but in the description note it was the version that supports 720p. I suppose it may also be helpful to find out what resolution the original one used and have that value in its description for comparison purposes.

I'm not entirely certain of what you are saying, but I see no issue with them both having the exact same name "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas".  Just like for Xbox 360 there should be 2 titles with "Need for Speed: Most Wanted"  Because there are 2 games with the exact same name.

And if you are going to nit-pick about the "A Criterion Game" which should also not be there.  Why don't all of the Metal Gear Solid games say "- Tactical Espionage Action" or "A Hideo Kojima Game"?  It's on the case, it's in the title.

If you are referring to this record: http://vgcollect.com/item/70766

I agree that it should not have HD in its title, as the Marketplace record is oftentimes what we'd refer to:
