I really don't understand why people oppose putting accurate data into the database when there are plenty of resources available to help get it right.
I'm not at all opposed to accuracy, it's just that I've seen so much inaccuracy already in the online database, and so many head banging debates in this forum, that I'm skeptical that allowing for increased user interpretation in the data entry department is going to make things any better.
This particular debate isn't going to affect me much, I just in principle don't like the Rules leaving too much to individual interpretation.
---------------
Well, I don't see this as user interpretation. Either the word is spelled correctly, or it is not after the conversion. Any dictionary (in the correct language) will tell you if it's right or not.
Hal:
I am a spelling champion, do want to know how Garçon would spelled in competition. Written it would be it would be Garçon but spelled it competition would be G-A-R-C-O-N We're not talking about the verbal expression of the spelling (which I'd have to rely on a French-speaking person to validate). We're talking about the written expression of the spelling. Nice try though! | | | | Hal |

| | Posted: | | | | Spelling is spelling verbally is still spelling. IMaginary data is what is uesless, kind of like imaginary friends or emperors, it exists only in the mind. If the diacritical appears On screen, I will tell you to use it, if it does not , then simply keep your hallucinatory penchant to yourself. The credit for CE3K is FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT in Profiler it is Francois Truffaut. François Truffaut is not what appears on screen it is a totally made up credit that does not exist on CE3K  | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Really? So if I write "double-u, are, e, en", I have properly spelled the word "wren" in writing? | | | | Hal |

| | Posted: | | | | Skip, I'm sorry to say this but your constant underhanded remarks where you state some users have 'an agenda' is not constructive at all and in fact, I find it rather impolite to make such a statement simply because those users point out there is a problem in their opinion or they have an idea to do things differently. You've done this to me in the past and you are constantly doing it to Yves now. It's a lack of respect.
Every single user here wants to improve the online database and the software. Nobody has anything to gain by undermining or destroying it. What is perceived an improvement and what not may differ from user to user, but in the end we are all after the same. Some users see problems others might not see due to some affinity they have or due to the contents of their collection. The fact that user A doesn't see the problem user B reports doesn't make user B's pointing out that problem invalid.
Stating that a user has and agenda has a very negative connotation as it seems he or she has motives that are questionable.
The fact that you don't see a problem where other users see one could then also be interpreted as such, no? You wouldn't like it if Yves and I kept saying you have an agenda by trying to stop us from discussing problems we encounter with DVDP and that you try to undermine the online DB, would you? So please extend the same courtesy to us. It'll help for a constructive discussion. | | | Blu-ray collection

I have said this so many times why don't you already know that? Ken has said that you are wrong, Ok. How many times must that be said, Ken has also said REPEATEDLY that we are not after CORRECT names, That is not hard to understand either. Hal, I have to be honest here, users such as yourself, but you are not alone, have led directly to my decision to NOT contribute any longer and that si not going to change, except in exceedingly rare innstances. Forum Moderator: Removed. So, I don't really care, it means I won't accept ANY updates at all and if you get your change I will simply sit back and wait for you to wake and realize the mess you wiill have been responsible for creating. As I have said, it will essentially the work of 5 years immediately. But you can't comprehend that, so we'll see if you get to experience it. Trust me, this has only begun if you get your way.And God help all of us. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

You can conclude perhaps, we is an overstatement. i don' reach your conclusion., So please e careful, you don't speak for me.
I have never tried to speak for you. But since I'm not alone, we is correct. That's grammar, not spelling.
Rho:
So then it is correct if i say that we have already decided this issue.
E=e and É=é, E does not equal é in profiler Of course, as long as you are not alone with this point of view and you don't confuse we with the community or with Prof. Kingsfield and Invelos. But the way I have used we, is more like it is used in mathematics when one derives a corollary from an existing law (resp. rule). We is meaning in this case the author and the well-disposed reader.  |

Taro don't apologize you have a narrow view of the world as you see it only through your eyes and i can see how you can say that. Through my eyes, I see that Ken made a ruling on this long ago, it is settled yet Yves harps on it every opportunity he gets, he even creates the opportunity if he kind find one, I consioder that rude and impolite, incredibly so. Try expanding your vision if you are going to be judgemental,, sir. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Francois Truffaut is also not what appears on screen! It is according Ken Cole and profiler AND the data.
