I contributed an update to the dvd "Keane: Strangers" (UPC 0602498745687) which (for me) didn't show up in the vote list, but apparently it did for some other users, because it received 2 YES votes and 0 NO votes. Yet somehow the contribution was declined.

My contribution notes are here:
http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=contributionnotes&type=DVD&ProfileUPC=0602498745687.9

The title change is according to the contribution rules. The other changes are confirmed by either a disc information tool (Nero Infotool) or the dvd box and/or the internet (country of the production studio), so why was this one declined?

It happens some times.  I had a contribution declined with 13 yes and 2 no, so it doesn't seem to matter how many people think the profile is correct. 
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

It defaults  to not showing you titles you've 'voted' on. This includes titles you've submitted yourself as you (a) can't vote on them and (b) should hopefully believe it's a yes vote as the data is correct.

To see it you need to click the all pending updates button at the top of the list

Unfortunately we never get feedback about why a contribution is declined, but the 2 no votes might give you a clue - what was their reasons for voting no?

There are no "No" votes, only 2 "Yes" votes, that's the strange thing!

I'm sorry - I mixed your post up with the one below - my mistake!
Try submitting again, I've also had a contribution declined when it only had yes votes, it was accepted second time round.

In this particular case you included "<" and ">" characters in the notes, which the system didn't encode for display, so showed a corrupted display, so the evaluator declined it.  I've since added HTML encoding for the note display for evaluators, and reprocessed the contribution in question.

Ah, I see. I should have known that those characters could be a problem in an html environment.
Thanks for reprocessing the contribution.

Just want to say I am very glad to see you actively addressing these types of issues.
