No I haven't seen the goddamn thing. I was asked in light
of my "some attempt at restraint" recommendation whether
that was inappropriate. Sounds like it to me. This isn't
a contest to see how marginal of a scene we can get in.

A goodly number of the scenes are ones I don't think
particularly belong, but others want them so I don't
object. If you ask me my opinion I'll tell you.

I don't think they belong.

You want it in? Put it in. I really don't care and don't
want to micormanage this situation. I thought I made
that clear.

That's what I was doing ... as well as asking the other editors and anyone else interested. I have no idea why your knickers are in a twist.

That's what I was asking you. Now that wasn't so hard, was it?

Xena "To Helicon and Back" #8482
One minor addition: during the scene where she was wandering around alone with her wrists still chained, she was also blindfolded with a white cloth.

Thanks.

"I'm assuming that silence indicates acquiesence to the notion that unintentional bindings are welcome in the DB."

"Dunno what silence means, Biff. I experienced it a few times. Kinda frustrating; then again, "database corrections" may not be the forum with the highest number of participants (or lurkers)."


You did a good job with the entries you posted,
so I'd take the silence as meaning the Editors trust your judgement Per.

Most of our time spent with editing to the format,
so's the search not thrown off.
We still have individuals that insist on posting their own way,
or putting little effort in,
so yes, I tend to concentrate on their entries.
Imagine same for other editors?

I have no strong feelings for what goes in an entry,
as long as a decent effort put into it.
You do that, so fine with what you do.

Okay, I have similar feelings about entries.

Problem being, have individuals who email to lecture on petty things, appearing only wanting to argue, even after pointed out I won't touch it if entered properly.

I can understand you not wanting to micromanage,
but consider,
after posting you agree with a solution, providing multiple reference posts, and still having to deal with petty bullshit,
figure you'd also think Fuck this, and want to pass it on to someone who cares as well.

Jay, thank you for your kind, and encouraging, words. Much appreciated.

Actually what I meant by "silence" has little to to with DB corrections; it's a couple of times I asked a question in discussion, and nobody cared to answer-I will admit I felt kinda ignored.( Yeah well maybe the question was dumb).

Biff also "threw a question out" to anyone-in here hence my remark that it maybe was not the optimal forum for that.


Now a few of my entries have been deleted, that is totally OK, I was in doubt about them myself, that's the whole reason I started this discussion in the first place.

I am perfectly satisfied with Brian's and yours answers, and I will continue to post new entries when I find missing scenes, ( And I will; my collection indexing is only one third completed by now) and put as much effort into them as I can.

Regards, Per

Just to be clear, Corrections is indeed the forum for questions about scene inclusion ... and I was trying to ask whether accidental and/or unintentional scenes should be entered, and my intended audience was the editors and any other interested parties.

When no response was forthcoming, I followed up to see if silence meant that there were no objections to such entries.

Just wait; guess you figured out that entries with a description starting with "based on screen captures only" are from me.

Refer them to me, I'll sort them out in short order.

Understand that I don't want to for my sake AND your
sake. You don't want me constantly second-guessing you.

Usually, I guess.

"Refer them to me,"

Appears I misread your intent in the previous posts.

I do try to redirect the petty lectures over here,
as figure someone who cares, might discuss it.
Figure the editors are busy with all the recent half-arsed entries.

Impression I got from your posts was you were sick of the petty sqwacking,
so not interested in dealing with it.

"Understand that I don't want to for my sake AND your sake. You don't want me constantly second-guessing you."

That's true, you've not argued with the editors.
Understanding you now.
