I do not want that. But, I don't think it is necessary to keep bringing up the same thing at every opportunity.

You have made your position quite clear and I completely understand what you are saying and why you feel the way you do.

I also believe that Ken and invelos are also aware of your feelings on the matter.

Since you have raised these issues many times, and there has been no feedback after all this time, I don't see why the topic needs to be keep being brought up.

It is obvious that your approach is ineffective and has not resulted in any positive changes or feedback. So, I don't see why you feel it is necessary to continue to use that same approach. 

You might find that dropping the issue for awhile may result in invelos and the community being more receptive to your position.

But, because the onscreen credit doesn't say 'Written by' we can't use Writer. So, as it's a screenplay that's what we use.

If it is in fact an original script that is not adapted, and research confirms that, but we put "screenplay" in the online which is normally used for adapted works, then that is completely idiotic, stupid, and counter to the idea of making a quality database....

This.

I find your post quite upsetting. Name calling and insults are not necessary to make your point.

I called no one a name, nor insulted anyone.

You might not have meant to be insulting but I find your using words such as "idiotic" and "stupid" to be exactly that.

An Original Screenplay is exactly what it says -  a screenplay that is not based on any other work. It's Original. It's a screenplay. Therefore it was written directly for the screen. But, because the onscreen credit doesn't say 'Written by' we can't use Writer. So, as it's a screenplay that's what we use.

This is what I was thinking--if the credit doesn't say "writer" or "written by" we're not supposed to contribute as writer.

But there's nothing in the crew credit table that supports this opinion.  However it's diffiult for me to argue against it because the Invelos screeners seem to be of the same opinion.  As I've said, I've had two contributions declined this month for trying to change someone credited in the film as "Original Screen Play by" from "Writer" to "Screenwriter".

I think I'd like to try an experiment to test The Rules.  I believe I'll attempt to change several profiles where the onscreen credit is "Original Screen Play by" from "screenwriter" to "writer" and see if "no" votes (if there are any) block such a change.  If so, then I'll know for sure that votes trump The Suggestions.  If not, then I'll know that I can't depend on my interpretation of the crew table and will probably stop contributing.

That alone should make anyone with sane and logical mind want to stop contributing.

The Profiler credit of 'Screenwriter' is no longer limited to Adapted Screenplays, where there is an Original Material By credit.  It is now a general Screenwriter/Screenplay/Teleplay credit.

The Profiler credit of 'Writer' has also been changed.  It used to have a note that stated it was used for Original Screenplays only, but that note has been removed and it is now used only for a writer/written by credit.

I am not sure when it was changed, but if memory serves, it was changed to make contributions easier on the average user.

Really? Is that what you want for the program?

I've never said this is what I want for the program. This is just what I'm said to do in other fields that has much importance for me, and probably not for those who prefer I enter crap instead correct data.

DOH!!!!!!!!
