Singaporean Chinese dramas

 Kazzy010:

I have to ask AGAIN, why are the series I submitted/rec not on this site/drama list at all?? How long is the wait to just add it to their category??

You need to chill a bit! The approval process takes a lot of time even for the countries that were already in MDL long before Singapore is added.

Secondly your submission need to follow the guideline for it to be approved. I saw your comment about combining the 3 parts into 1 submission, which I afraid is not following the guideline, but who knows...

It depends on many things. If you added three series in one go, a mod or admin will have to first of all understand what is meant by Parts 1, 2 and 3, then search out and find the necessary information for each one like year of release, additional actors, etc. This is a bigger task than looking at provided links to confirm data.

Since you've submitted it as a single unit, there probably isn't any much they can actually use without change, so it's essentially a mod doing this from scratch. Even the main title itself will need to be amended.

Your best bet is probably to submit them as three individual series (they can be listed as prequels/sequels for each other once they're in the database). Yes, this is more work on your part but short-cuts only complicate the process. I can walk you through that.

It might also help to reach out to Admin to ask that your previous submission be deleted so a mod doesn't start the process of adding the three series in the meantime. (The way they'll do that is probably to "reject" it, and rejection messages are demoralising, but that's how the system works.)

There's a lot of trial and error in learning how to navigate the system and get submissions accepted without fuss. Much in the process could be more transparent on the submission pages themselves. The guidelines are such a wall of text, few new to this will remember everything they need to take into account for a particular submission. It can be very frustrating.

But short-cuts to save yourself work aren't going to work. If you want a title in the database, it's worth it to take the time to learn how to do this. I'm happy to share what I've learned and help you learn what's needed. Like I said in our earlier conversation, I think you're on the ball and will be a valuable contributor to building up the database, especially with your keen interest in Hong Kong and Singapore dramas.

Okay.. Thanks!!!

LOL.. Supposedly they are added now??? I'm still not too sure..

Really??

Just saw it.. I wonder if they'll ADD the other TWO PARTS or do I have to resubmit the 

thing separately??

Thanks for the heads up!!!

P.S. Someone let me know if I need to resubmit for the other TWO parts??? Oh and still 

waiting for the TVB drama one that I submitted...Kitty Lai and Leon Lai..Where are you...lol....

Really?? That happens....Hmm.. Why would anyone try to submit someone else series/drama's..What do they get out of it. Unless they watched it and it's not on the MDL database, I see no point in trying to "LOL" steal someone elses' drama. So odd..

Well, I just RESUBMITTED Parts 2 and 3 Separately..Just in case, since it seems as thou they only approved Part 1..
