It is funny that the user did make one correct change from single to double quotes and did not touch yet another one that correctly used double quotes. People just don't pay attention to their voting. And just blindly vote Yes to bad data.

The list of Yes voters is....ummm intriguing to say the least.I'll not say anyone voted yes for bad data deliberately, just that it was so obvious they must have been blind. Some of our favorite "gotch" players are involved, a game they shouldn't play unless...they are prepared to have it turned on them

But it is disappointing when it is found.

I don't have Bull Durham, so I can't say anything toward that...

But what pisses me off more than someone voting, likely accidentally, for bad data, is someone voting against correct data.  Especially when you take the pains of outlining exactly why your contribution is correct by the rules.

In this case, my contribution for UPC 043396149717, a box set of two movies, each on separate discs: Fortunes of Captain Blood & Captain Pirate.  The profile has the correct child profiles attached, but still had all the info in it - audio, video, features, cast, crew - all of which, per the rules, don't belong in the parent.  I removed it and submitted and was rejected because of this one no voter who said it isn't what they'd call a box set.  I've resubmitted and noted the rule in the contribution notes, so now the no voter (same one) is saying that the current profile is better.

I'm trying not to take this personally, but it kinda pisses me off that you try to follow the rules, submit according to the rules, point out the rule in question, and still get a no.

Just to make myself completely clear. I don't blame the Contributor, it's an easy enough mistake to make. I don't even really blame the Voters. I just find it shocking that so many people completely missed something so obvious which will only result in bad data replacing good data. And it tells me that the beloved majority is asleep at the switch most of the time. Hopefully the Contributor will correct the error. And that maybe some of the Yes voters will re-consider their votes and force him to change it if he/she doesn't voluntarily.
