If you use "fake" birth years (something like 1001, 1002, or whatever you like) you actually can contribute your work: you just don't tick the checkbox for including these fake birth years at the bottom of the contribution screen.

The only flaw I can see with using Birth Year is in the very, very rare time when 2 people with the same name share the same Birth Year.

The only way to keep their credits separated is to use fake birth years - and I've succesfully contributed to all their profiles by not checking the checkbox for any of them.

You can submit it, but it'll be rejected.  I tried not ticking the checkbox for a birth year I didn't want to submit and it was rejected for not providing supporting information for that birth year.

I must have done about a hundred submissions like this, and never had a single one of them declined. As far as I understand things, this is exactly how the system works (should work): if you don't tick the checkbox, the birth year is not (shouldn't be) included in the contribution, so it cannot (shouldn't) be declined on that basis. I also simply need this to work - for instance, I've got no less than five different crew members called David Lee in my database, and I've been able to find a birth year for only one of them. The only way to keep their credits separated is to use fake birth years - and I've succesfully contributed to all their profiles by not checking the checkbox for any of them.

I've got another one of these pending right now, and if I go to the evaluation screen for my own contribution, the birth year is - rightfully so - nowhere to be seen. Since these fake birth years are not included in the contribution, and not seen on the evaluation screen (I'm guessing that if the voters don't see it, the screeners won't see it as well), they can't possibly be reason to decline it.

Again: I'm sure I've gotten about a hundred of these approved - but these fake birth years are obviously still not in the database (as they shouldn't be). My guess would be that your decline was a "fluke" of some kind...

This is another example where online database gives wrong information and one of the many reasons for which I prefer to work without it.

Do really some people think that giving me a red arrow for that post will make me change my mind about the fact that the online database is not very good to link actors correctly?

I can easily understand that you do not like my opinion... But my average post number is about two per day, and I do not think I nag more than some other users who always say the same thing.

I suggest you to use a nice feature of this forum. You block me and you'll never see my nagging anymore. I tested it on some users and it really works fine. Red arrows are no use for you since I really do not mind at all. For your information, I took hundreds, and my reputation is still normal, and even if it was lowered, I would still say what I think is good for this program.

Dvdprofiler is, as I already wrote, by far the best program to catalog movies on DVDs or blu-rays. Unfortunately, the online part is obviously not at the same level, and I'm not alone to say that...
