Strange though that they have no status (neither declined, nor accepted)

This leaves two options:
1. The contribution contains new, yet unaccepted birthyears for cast and/or crew

in this case the contribution is not open for the "normal" evaluation process, but is evaluated from Invelos directly (takes a lot longer and you don't see any progress in the meantime)

I just downloaded it so I could look at it. Let me give you a critique of your notes.

* Disc is not Region Coded--How do you know this, you provide no source
* Changed Rating and added Rating Details----Same as above, what basis
* Changed Case Type
* Added Genres
* Added Studios/Distributors---Source?
* Added Features---Source?
* Corrected Aspect Ratio---How did you determine it
* Amended Subtitles---Source?
* Corrected Audio Tracks---Source?
* Added Overview---From Where?
* Added Disc Info
* Copied Cast & Crew from existing US profile (UPC 043396292215)-Did you verify the data in the cloned data against the ACTUAL data on your copy, it is KNOWN that Cast and Crew are not necessarily universal....probably but SOMETIMES for reasons only known to the filmmakers, different credits in other regions/Localities/Versions

Now it appears that while your Contribution was validly declined, it is now in the cue waiting for the update, your Contribution Notes will remain part of the permannent record for the title along with the fact that it was declined. Were I you i would address the concerns above and resubmit with new notes accordingly.

Hi Skip, I have always contributed like this in the past without any problems whatsoever. Each of my contributions are based on data retrieved from the actual DVD/Blu-ray and covers of the release itself, so that explains the source of all the changes. Perhaps the source could be stressed more clearly in the contribution text, but never did I encounter this strange behaviour in accepting/declining contributions.
Regarding the copying of cast/crew info from the same movie stored for another UPC : it's highly unlikely that other actors will play the roles and other crew will direct, act as DoP, Editor, etc. in the country I wish to contribute for, right? This is also common practice by a lot of contributions I encounter to complete a very incomplete profile that has been drawn up by remotely hearing that a release of a DVD/Blu-ray is on the horizon (if these contributions were to be declined, I would understand; more than once encountered a contribution of a DVD/Blu-ray consisting of very few data and a cover scan that is a copy of a small picture of a website).

Mind you, I did add more contributions on both times I added 2012, and these were all accepted/rejected, but for 2012 obviously some other rules seem to apply. So I still think my question why this profile keeps ending up in the waste bin is a valid one...
