Quoting Rander:

None of the above - if I have to but myself in a box, it would probably be labeled "Purist gatherer"...


I think of myself as a "Happy Purist".

Being in the danish locality, not capitalizing every word in the title is my preferred way to go


You really don't like capitalization. 


Quote:
(for non-english titles). This is not against the rules, which says you should use whatever you localization dictates. Dansk Sprognævn, which is a governmental institution here in Denmark, that dictates the correct spelling of words, gammatical rules and so forth (and publishes a "spelling dictionary" every year) says that both ways are correct. Unfortunately, it seems that everybody else but me prefers titles like "Kærlighed Ved Første Hik" over the more aestethically (sp?) pleasing (for me) "Kærlighed ved første hik". So, I "un-capitalize" the titles, but keep it local.


I don't know a thing about the Danish language, sorry!, and of course your can change your local database as you wish.
However, if we talk of capitalization rules in general, I guess the rules for titles are a bit different than the general rules of any language.

Besides that, if I find inaccuracies in profiles,


Too few Contribution Purists out there? 

Quote:
I correct them and submit, but only if there is more than one error! Submitting contributions with the only change being "correcting" the SRP from 99,00 to 99,95 is a waste of the screeners time, if you ask me. If I can add a CoO or find some other inaccuracy in the same profile to submit, then off it goes!


Fair enough.

Quote:
For digipacks, this is usually not a problem - I'm amazed of how many Danish-locality digipacks are in the database as drawer - simply because of the case you can slide the digipack in... 


Definitely too few Contribution Purists out there.

but for a select few titles, the rules doesn't match what I want in my database. Those I edit to my liking, and then lock the entire profile. Even then, sometimes contributions for them show up that I accept, but that is mostly cast- and/or crew-listings...


Same goes here, but only for a few titles, and most often I don't lock the entire profile, just the field that I want to be different from the online database. So I would not call myself a Local Database Purist.

Quote:
Apart from this, every single title-field and coverscan in my database is locked. On the rare occasion is actually accept an update for them, it's not that big of a job to unlock it temporarily.


I always use the Preview Changes tool before accepting updates. Actually, I would like that to be the default behavior in DVDP: always show a preview before updating any profile (unless you check an option not to show).

I'm in between the last two, because I follow the rules as much as possible but I also made some of my own.
