I'm wondering what do you do when there are changes submitted and all thay write is :


several examples:
added crew (no mention from where)
changed runtime(to something different than the cover whitout stating from where)

I believe the rules state a no vote in both cases, but do you guys check it out and submit the yes vote with confirmation that the runtime/crew is correct???

I believe the voting system is there so we wouldent have to do that tough.

my opinion: the changes should be documented
so I would vote No with reason: changes not documented
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.

You are correct, I would absolutely vote No. No Documentation, vote NO! His notes are inadequate. Its not my job to verify the work of the Contributor in order to vote, it his job to provide the information, which I can then choose to verify as I feel it necessary.

I have to agree with you on these points. There should be mention of where the stats come from.

I also think that runtime should be taken off the cover. This is an area where I think we are getting too "picky" with stats. To change from 92 minutes to 93 minutes ... who REALLY cares?

Just my opinion.

Except the change is not always the difference of 1 minute like that... I recently did a change where the difference was 20 minutes! Sure... that is an extreme example...  but whether it is 1min... 3min... 5min... or more... I personally would much prefer to have the actual time... not just take what the box says for granted. Which I have seen wrong just as many times as it has been right.

In my experience the runtime on the cover is incorrect at least 80%* of the time.



*This figure is made up. But probably correct.

I could get behind that as being a fair estimate.
