As far as episode submissions go for shows which have not yet aired: ie. "Summer Season" '06, Fall Season '06, mid-season replacements early '07, Spring Season '07...

When entering a "NEW" episode, you need to have at least 2 out of the 3 following criteria PLUS a URL for the source of the information you are adding (besides also entering Episode Season/Lifetime Numbers and Episode Type):

-Episode Name
-Episode Summary
-Episode Airdate

NOTE: "Pilot" is not a valid episode title for a first episode unless you have a resource that specifically states that the episode is in fact titled "Pilot". This also goes for choosing "Pilot" for the "Episode Type" - unless it is a stand alone episode or before the airing of the series, generally it would be a regular episode. Also, the dates that were added by staff for these pilots were an estimate based on the information available at the time and was added so people would know if it was fall or midseason for the purposes of the feature (so, if the show summary says 09/01/06 or 01/01/07 it is an estimate to indicate the season the show will be airing in and not information for the episodes to go by). You can also update the show summary information as it becomes available but it is not reliable for purposes of episode airdates.

***If the above requirements are not met, your submission will be rejected. When editing these episodes thereafter, you must also have a URL for any edits you are making up until the episode(s) actually airs.***

[Since these episodes have not yet aired and whatever the most current information regarding them is definitely available on the internet, there isn't any reason why you shouldn't be able to provide one.]

you can write "coming soon" if you don't have a summary on these, that's OK. that post was referring to submissions where users were ONLY adding coming soon and nothing else on the form (so basically no valuable information). when users submit "coming soon" as the only edit, we reject it.

No, it wouldn't be fair to reject a submission that does have the other, required criteria mentioned above but in addition has "coming soon" as the summary - even if it has already aired.

I hope production codes for unaired episodes are also met with a URL requirement as well...

yup, production codes same thing...

I like this new rule, but then please obtain the rules dear stuff members.
I just got a rejection, with this explanation.
Well I had included an episode summary, about three basically spoiler free sentences and the airdate (everything available and no copy/paste!).
Both confirmed with an URL to the official episode page at the network.
I named the episode pilot, since no other info was available. So two out of three criteria were included and still my submission got rejected.

this is a question i've asked on the forums before, but it wasnt answered properly...

*Can i add JUST the 'airdate' to an episode that already has NO summary? (the episode isnt new, its old)

Two out of three just may not be enough.

Or it is enough, and this was rejected for a different reason.

[Edit: Finished my sentence]

I think you simply don't read my posts. I included the URL for the content and the date, so that couldn't be it. I selected regular episode (since it's that) and selected season one, episode one, lifetime one. So in my eyes all needed and correct, but I don't want this topic turn into an analysis of one of my rejected submissions.
My original post was just to point it out to the staff. So please let us finish this conversation.

The show summary given by network is something like this:
Person moves in the big city.
Person gets a job.
Person makes new friends.

I wrote (based on the official information) for the first episodes:
Person packs her things and says goodbye to her family.
person moves in her new apartment and meets her roommates for the first time.
Person tries to get a job.

Of course I made a correct text not just such a listing, but please it might just have been an error.

Please let us finish this discussion, since I'm the only one who experienced such a rejection. Please let us stop. I wouldn't have written my first post when I had known the result. I just was angry.

Maybe something was changed when I scrolled down or so, or the rejection was a mistake. I don't know. But that was in the past and since nobody else has the problem I don't see the point to discuss this anymore in public.
