If you believe his statement was NOT finite, and only included two of the many possible examples, it is 'anything goes'.  The only alternative to 'anything goes' is a finite list of examples.

That's just not true.

May I contribute crew? To me, the answer is obviously yes even though crew is not mentioned.

Do you believe that Invelos will summarily reject a contribution that includes crew because it's not in Ken's list of absolutes? I don't.

May I contribute disc IDs and audio/subs, etc? No, because I don't have the disc.

There are many possible examples between 'anything goes' and a finite list.

And why would he say "our only requirement" if there are other requirements? 

Because that is their only requirement.  Should you decide to contribute to a profile that has blank or limited cast, their only requirement is that the notes submitted accurately reflect the source of the data, and state the specific profile used as the source.

How do you get from "another case is 'limited or blank' cast" to "the only thing that is acceptable apart from a prerelease profile is 'limited or blank' cast"? It's not an absolute statement.

Simply put, Ken's first post tells us when we can submit changes to profiles we don't own and his third post reiterates what we are required to do should we decide to.

His first post says we can and gives examples for when we could. His third post reiterates that we can and says how to do it. (IMO)

It's fine that your opinion differs. I won't force you to contribute my way.    I just don't want to wake up to screen shots in the forum of my contributions and votes by those who disagree with me (not saying that you would do that, just giving an example). 

Basically, anything that isn't locality, version or format specific.  Thanks for clearing that up.

seems we all agree now

cheers and a happy weekend

I think you're mixing up Release Date and Production Year. The release date refers to the DVD release, Production Year to the year of the original theatrical release (or air date, in case of TV series).

Cast was an example, not an exhaustive list of potential contributions.  Crew would be in the same boat, as would production year, etc. 

Obvious exclusions would be release date, overview, rating, and other frequently locality-specific items.

What's wrong with adding an Overview to a profile that hasn't one? If the scan is good and you have a source to copy that Overview (to make it easy on yourself) why not add it after a thorough check, of course.

If you haven't got a source, you will have to type it out yourself of course.

The problem with adding the overview that is in the scan is that you have no way of knowing if it is the correct scan.  I have encountered this problem myself...corrected the overview from the scan, only to find out it didn't match the actual release.

Have you checked the credits to see whether or not the credits match the actual DVD?  If yes, did you vote 'no' with that as a note?  If yes, then the contributor should withdraw that contribution immediately.
