Cheers Nick

Edit: I didn't add the 1979 to the top Robert Baker as I wasn't sure if I should leave it or change it so I went with the more cautious approach.

Another one I didn't see here, but seems to be accepted.

John Powell (1963): Composer in Ice Age, Be Cool, D-Tox, Jumper, ...

John Powell (xxxx): Executive Producer of Extreme Dating

Perhaps some more in database, but this was the first different I found. Any additions would be appriciated.

Seems to be not accepted yet, because the contribution I saw it in is in "reviewing".

We can now vote on contributions with new Birth Years? Nice!

BY 1963 is accepted, my contributions are flagged as "Received" (not "Reviewing") and the BY checkbox didn't show up.

Sirs, I'm trying to understand birth years.

How does Invelos decide about a birth year? On a profile-by-profile basis? Title-by-title?

Is the absence of The Checkbox always proof enough that a birth year has already been accepted officially?

Is the status Received, instead of Reviewing, at all times proof enough that a birth year has already been accepted officially?

Should a contributer document that an added birth year is of the right of several persons with the same name?

Love, bbbbb

If a BY isn't already in the database, you need to contribute one profile and include the documentation in the contribution notes (you basically need to show, that the BY is needed; have a look at some posts here to see what data to include). After that profile has been approved, post your documentation here in this thread. For all further contributions of that BY just include a link to the corresponding post.

AFAIK yes.

I don't know, if I fully understand your sentence... You have to document, that there are two or more different persons with the same common name and provide for each of them at least two different links that contain a BY (preferably the same one ). You don't have to find a BY for every person, though.

Quote:
Another contributor writes, when adding a birth year: BY for Steve McQueen already in DB.

Since all users can now vote on contributions that are in "Reviewing", the mere statement isn't enough anymore – at least IMU.

Quote:
How to check if Steve McQueens birth year has already been accepted officially?

See above, if the BY checkbox isn't displayed, the BY is already in the database. Just try it out with a BY that's listed on this thread's first page and with an imaginary one.

EDIT: I'm not sure how I go about submitting this? I added the second onto the database and sent the profiles of the films he should be in to be checked. Is that the right way to do it?

You just need to submit this to one of your profiles with your complete documentation and Invelos will check and approve (or decline) it

It was declined. I think I may have forgotten to tick the BY box down the bottom when i subbmitted it (this may have been the reason but I'm not sure).

This was the reply:
"An invalid source, such as a third party database, was listed in the contribution notes. Use of a third party database is not allowed per the contribution rules".

What have I done wrong and I how do I stop myself from making this error again?

I know the Robert Baker in Old School, Greys Anatomy and the latest Indy film can't be the same one that was in the Bruce Lee movies as he wasn't even born when thos films were made so the Database needs another Robert Baker.
