As a test case, I submitted a contribution with only the documentation of the Invelos database to see if that's enough. So far the vote is 4-3. The 'no' voters are seeking the sort of documentation that this Credited As database provides.
The DB is a nice and convenient place to find documentation for common name without having to search for it yourself. If the 'no' voters want the documentation in the contribution, it's easy to just copy it over there.
And if you want help, I'm sure there are people here willing to help. Agreed. I see the DB as a place where I can easily find sources, not a source in itself. | | | -- Enry |

| Posted: | | | | I checked with Gerri and she said we don't have to add "Sr." to the name of a father if the father didn't use "Sr." in their credited name. Specifically, we can have "Ed Begley" and "Ed Begley, Jr." rather than using "Ed Begley, Sr." | | | ...James

That makes sense to me. Otherwise, what if a "Jr." has a child who becomes an actor! Then he becomes "III"! (Although "Jr., Jr." would be more amusing.) |

| Posted: | | | | Screenwriter Suso // Cecchi d'Amico also credited as "Susi D'Amico", "Suso Cecchi D'Amico", "S. D'Amico"
Filmography http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suso_Cecchi_d'Amico
Daughter of Emilio Cecchi http://www.sceneggiatori.com/ritratti/cecchidamico/index.asp
Married with Fedele d'Amico http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/summary_0199-2235900_ITM
DVDP Credit Lookup: "suso cecchi d'amico" is credited in the following 81 titles (110 profiles): "susi d'amico" is credited in the following 0 titles (0 profiles):
BTW, IMDb states (incorrectly, I think) that she is credited as "Suso D'Amico" in "L'Onorevole Angelina", http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0147599/ but on my copy of that movie the screen reads "SUSI D'AMICO" and "S. D'AMICO"). | | | -- Enry |

| Posted: | | | | Currently, the "credited as" databases names Sal Vassallo as the "common name" for Salvatore Vassallo. To back this up, there are links to tcmdb.com (which uses the name Salvatore Vassallo) and to imdb.com. The latter may indeed have a (small) majority of "Sal" credits listed (although I can't be sure if these are all correct), but it may be of interest to note that IMDb also has a separate entry for Salvatore Vassallo, who is clearly the same person. Together, even IMDb has more "Salvatore" credits than "Sal" ones. To top it all off, I've found his official website at www.salvatoreweb.com, which consequently refers to him as "Salvatore". Based on all this, I suggest a change to this entry in the "credited as" database. Official Site |

| Posted: | | | | Writer & Director Peter Hammond
According to the credit lookup he appears under Peter Hammond, Peter J. Hammond, P. J. Hammond
The majority of his entries are under Peter Hammond (this is also what imdb list him under)
Quick question, will the database be altered with these or is it up to us to go and update the incorrect profiles? | | | Last edited: by eggerty |
