Contributions, especially those adding cast and crew, must include the source of the data in the contribution notes.  We will be taking a harder line on this requirement going forward, so please include the source when you contribute.

How are we too do this when the profile is brand new?
I supplied a profile earlier today for
Epic Movie: Rude & Crude
EAN: 5039036033046
Locality: UK

Once I had gone through the credits at the end of the DVD, entering into DVDP, then clicking the submit button I did not get a window for any contribution notes...perhaps if source is to be a requirement then contribution notes should also be required for even a new submission to the DB.

P.S. I would recommend this film if anybody is into parodies of Hollywood Blockbuster's.

I would prefer a Contribution Notes window for a brand new submission myself, at least then if somebody then makes a change they can see where the original data came from.

As I said earlier had great fun sitting through the end credits to get the data, but my submission wont show that fact, and joe bloggs won't have a reference to go by either when he wants to make a change.

I think you're implying it, but I'll also say I'd like this to go both ways as well in regards to the removal of cast and crew.

Good idea.  Now that the bulk of the mass contributions are over, I've switched the contribution system to prompt for notes for new contributions as well as changes.

Secondary note - the notes must be in English.  You're welcome to write native language notes, but please also include an English translation, even if you have to use an automated translation.

the dreaded country of origins 

Ken/Geri, are we still okay putting just CoO for new country of origin entries, and some form of reasoning/documentation if we are changing existing?
There are still many many CoO's needed to be filled, and i am doing my best adding them especially for non-region 1 releases, but if we were to have to put a lot of documentation for each one then I would have to stop simply for the time factor.
I've found if i do cock one up, someone points me in the right direction  and we agree on what is correct (Sorry Erik  )

Great! I been waiting for an official word on Sources being required! Sometimes when I vote no because of no source given I hear from the contributor no source is required because it is mentioned nowhere in the rules or anything. Now I can point to this thread!

Awesome! This is another thing I been waiting for! I hate doing a new profile with complete cast and crew from the credits and such and not being able to let everyone know what I done and where it is from!

Thanks Ken! These both made my day!

I don't think so you are using imdb as a source, what is not allowed due to copyright issues?
Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted. Please include the sources for your changes in the contribution notes, especially for cast and crew additions.

Excellent - apart from the other sources bit. People don't like you using info from IMDB.
