I happened upon the weekly Dutch Donald Duck comic and noticed it was missing quite a bit of information. Most notably the past two years' worth of issues are mostly missing but there are also a bunch of issues that are missing both cover dates and the titles on their covers (if/when they are present). So I made an account and started adding the information.
Most of my edits were approved over time with a bunch still pending, but some were rejected and I don't understand why. For instance the date for this one was denied while the date for the next issue was accepted. I assume in this case it was because the cover date was in 2019 when it's issue 1 from 2020, but it's really the date printed on the comic (on the back side of the cover, because that's where this comic prints it. I don't know how to link an image without triggering spam protection, but I added proof as an image, just add /a/uploads/original/11184/111846857/9402182-untitled.png to the domain name of this site.
The dates for issues 202015 and 202016 were rejected too, even though I took the date listed on the comic itself for those too. I'm guessing that my date of April 2nd for the former didn't go over well because the text on the cover says "1 April!" but that's a language issue. "1 April!" is our way of saying "April Fools," that label is not trying to say it was released on April 1st. The actual date on the inside of the cover says April 2nd. The one for issue 202016 says April 9th on the inside of the cover.
Am I misunderstanding the rules, or is there some sort of language issue that's making the person who moderated this make the wrong call? I'd like to just fill out these dates and titles and to add the (many) issues that are missing but if only some of my changes are going to be accepted while others are not we could all probably spend our time better.
