Wait, are these the contributions that were trying to replace the large scans with thumbnail scans?  If so, that is the reason they were declined.  If not, then nevermind.

In addition there was one tonight that stated that it was a steel book with the same UPC. Be advised that in this case, we take the originally released cover scan, which if it is the steelbook, you should provide data to that affect.

Well, that certainly explains why they were declined.

Well what we have here... is failure to communicate... some man you just can't reach 

Let's hope he "gets it" because we could not make it any plainer to him.

i did explain just that. that this was 1 of 3 different versions sold in Spain. the existing is one and the one i submitted is mone and another. i clarified all that.

But in your current submission your notes only say:
"new better cover scan of actual DVD case from my collection. all other dvd info remains the same and from actual discs."
That doesn't tell me that this was a release with 3 covers. I'm assuming that because you're submitting Spanish profiles that English is not your first language and I know it can be difficult to express yourself properly in a different language.
I would edit your notes to specify that this is one cover of a same day, 3 cover release. I would also mention that the blacks are better in your scan than in the current scan - you need to be specific in mentioning what you have improved. I would even mention that you haven't submitted a back cover scan just in case the screeners think you have submitted a scan with no improvements.

Edit: I looked at your previous notes. In them you said "actual cover scan with same UPC from the 1/3 collection from Spain."
I have to admit that's not very clear - the screeners would not necessarily know that means it was a 3 cover release. You did mention that you hadn't changed the back - that's good, I would repeat that in your current notes.

But you have to remember, the screeners may simply not like your scans. It's their database and their decision. You just have to remember not to take it personally.

The problem is, even when his notes were clear, he was submitting thumbnail sized scans...at least on the profiles I voted for.  All the 'no' votes indicated that the reason for the vote, was the size of the images, so I don't know why there was any confusion as to the reason for the declines.

I don't know about those ones, but his submission for El Orfanato is fine. Yes the cropping could do with some improvement, but his scan has richer colour depth than the current washed-out scans. It's a shame he chose not to scan the back cover too.
The problem here is that he hasn't explained clearly enough why his front cover differs from the current one which may be why it was declined before.

Edit: I also think he was unaware at first that you could click on the votes to see the comments left.

Since only one can be in the database, which one should it be, and how shall the screeners know which one is more right than the other[s]?

Accepting your description, then I would say first in wins...I don't like it but...if all three versions nave the same UPC #. WE see this kind of silliness, rarelt, but on ocassion here in the states, the two biggest that come to mind were Sin City and Resrvoir Dogs each of which used several "Collectible" Covers under a single UPC.

I guess they'd have to rely on the voters for that. Unfortunately it seems in this particular case it mustn't have been a popular release as there have been no voting activity on the scans.
