Problems with contribute page
posted by mentat51STAFFMOD on February 25, 2020 at 7:20 AM
I'm french and I like to add to complete the french part of the data.
So, I can use the contribute page.
But I have problem with informations here (section FR-FR) :
-movie without title, for example "Harry Potter et la Coupe de feu", the french title for "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"
-tv show without title, for example "Les Experts", the french title for "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation"
-movie without synopsis, for example "Trainspotting", but it had a french synopsis
-same error for tvshow
-for the image part, only the profil missing image part seems to be up to date
It's like if the check has been made a few time ago and data are not updating since.
So I can only use the "missing biography" and "Missing profile image" part which are correct.
Thanks for all the hard work.

Hi @mentat51,
Yes, there's lots wrong with the contribute page right now. I'm currently weighing my options for what this functionality should look like on the new site. As it stands right now it's pretty broken.

Hey, Travis.
Okay, got it.
Thanks for your response.
A couple of suggestions: -I'm French and a little option to filter actors or films by country would help me complete the local stuff. -If I understood correctly, the list of people is sorted by popularity (from where?). But it contains a lot of Asian people I don't know for example. Maybe sorting by number of appearances would be more accurate (not perfect either).
I know it's difficult to have a global solution. But the current popularity system favors current people, but for example I made the actor's biography for Lino ventura, Jean Gabin or Fernandel, dead French actors who are very popular in France.
In short, there is food for thought...
