I see it now. It's odd that there's TWO Parts 2 and one of the Parts 2 is rejected while another is Pending..


So weird..Either they messed up somehow or I did, but since both are dated 1996 and Part 3 is in 2002 and the approved and rejected Part 2 is both dated the same, logic says MDL messed up somehow?? 


So, MDL corrected the TWO Part 2'z of the series by approving Part 3 (2002) but rejected Part 2, which I don't understand nor get since everything was the same when I applied for the series except for Episode length and time and yr of release, otherwise, everything is the same..This time I got no noticed/message telling me WHY it was rejected..I mean, c'mom, first time being rejected, I got why I messed up, no info links etc due to forgetfulness on my part etc etc and was given a reason/message telling me why, this time, nothing..  C'mon, help a girl out here..


I'm asking other more experience/OLDIES/contributors if this is common practice?? I mean, does rejected rec get a message telling them why or no message at all??

Every rejected submission will always get a message explaining why it was rejected. That's how the system is built. There's no way around it. If you didn't get any message, then there could only be two reasons:

  1. The submission was accepted, and the title is now already on MDL.
  2. The submission is still in the queue, and it hasn't been processed.

Your part 2 was never rejected, as there was never a submission in the queue for it. You submitted both parts using the same page submission. 

You entered the information for part 2 here, clicked Submit, and instead of opening a new tab and a new, fresh page to submit part 3, you used the same page you submitted part 2 and just added the new information, and clicked Submit again on the same page, within the same tab. 

When you submit stuff like that, it overrides all the previous submissions, and in the approval panel, it only shows the latest info with only one submission in the queue, not multiple. So if you submitted 20 different titles using the same page and just kept clicking Submit and Submit, on our side, we would only see one title in the queue, not 20.


Lastly, when you submitted your titles the first time, I was the one who processed that submission, and I was the one who rejected it because it did not contain any source, which can help us verify the submitted info. You submitted all three parts as a single page and only added a link to this exact thread. Back then, in that same rejection message, I explained that you need to open a new tab in order to submit a new page, which can be seen here:

You never replied to that message to confirm you had read it and understood what it said.


This time, I'm writing directly in this thread, hoping you'll understand how the process works and why your submissions keep getting rejected. Every rejection message contains reasons why the submission was rejected and how it can be improved. Please, next time, refer to the messages you receive from the staff and discuss with them directly what you need to do.

Hey,


I totally got why I was rejected the first time, I even stated that I know why I was rejected and I also did state that MDL/you messaged me..


As for the same tab or whatever.. I don't know, but when I submitted Parts 2 and 3 each time,  MDL told me it was successful each time..There was no reason for me to doubt it otherwise..


So, you're telling me that after EACH time I rec something and the message that I got after submitted it, telling me it was successfully submitted, I'd need to close the tab and go to a new one? That's odd. 


So, really, I didn't do anything wrong, per-se, just that whole weird NEW TAB bits..


Thanks..

Appreciate the reply..

There's nothing odd about it. It's how the system on this site is built. So yes, you need to open a new tab whenever you want to submit a new title.

It would help if this was made clear on the page. It's buried somewhere in a very long Guidelines IIRC, but there's so much info in there it's impossible to remember it all.

Just a notice near the Submit and Reset buttons. Something like "If you are submitting multiple titles/persons, please close the tab and open a new one for each submission."

Because that "Congratulations, your submission has been accepted" does make it sound like it's accepted, safe and sound.

Well, it is odd/off; but if that's how MDL works it magic..


So Cool..

The admins are working on a new submissions and approval process, so that should be all resolved in the new system. When exactly that will be, we don't know yet. Hopefully sooner than later. (:

What exactly do you want us to say/do?

Great. (But also uff I'm going to have to learn how to avoid the trip ups on a new one? I've finally learned how to navigate this one successfully.) Anyway, better overall I hope :)

Why are you so bitter? It is how it is. Of course it is confusing, but if you want to use it you have to bare with it.

You can take this opportunity to learn something new. You can also read and understand the guidelines before making future submission. 

Since you are new here, I don't see the point of your aggression.
