I've tried to enter "The Blitz London's Longest Night" but keep getting, in red: "Contribution notes are required."  I don't see where/how to enter this.  I also see in red: "For all contributions, indicate the source of the data, especially cast and crew additions."  I entered some crew info, but there is no cast info on the cover so I did not enter any.  Must I read the credits onscreen while watching the piece to enter some?  And the source (for Crew) is the cover, but I did not notice a "source" field to fill in.  Maybe I missed it.

BTW, I tried SEARCH but I keep getting timeout errors.  I can see a status of "Incomplete Submission" and the crew members I added are now in the list, so maybe it's in for review anyway?

What am I missing?

Cast and Crew both should only come from the actual credits of the film only. Sp yes... you must read the credits onscreen while watching the piece to enter. You need to be sure to follow the rules for contributions. Which can be found HERE.

As for the entering of contribution notes... On that screen where you read that statement in red there should be a white text box where you type in all of what you did and sources for what you did as needed.

If you go HERE you should see if you have anything already submitted contributions.

Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect]

If you choose to include cast then yes, you have to watch the credits and write it down.
However, there is no requirement to do so, you can stick to that what you are comfortable to contribute.

Unless it's an initial contribution....

I don't think initial contributions are exempted - unless they are pre-release contributions.

What I meant was that you cannot choose what to contribute on an initial contrib, so you can't exclude cast & crew if you think they don't meet the requirements.

Of course you can. Just don't enter them in the profile before you contribute.
