And i know all that, Martian, you forget how well i know film myself. But I deal with the Credited data, i don't go running around all over the place trying to justify turning it into something it isn't. That kind of thing you justifying  for your own justification and one that has absolutely NOTHING to do with what the actual data says.

I have a hard time believing that you knew all that.  If you had, you would have mentioned it when I provided the same exact information from the Wiki article.  Instead, you said, "I don't give a crap about Wiki, they are no better than IMDb. Want ot go find a better source?"  That tells me you had no idea.  If you did, why ask for a better source?  Now that I have provided what you asked for, because you can't really argue with it, you have changed your tune.

In addition, you are not dealing with what the actual data says because you want to give Whittingham a credit for writting the story as well as the screenplay.  I am sorry, but the data does not support that as they say Thunderball, the film, is based on what he wrote.

Anyway, I am done playing this stupid game.  @ Orici, you have your answer.  Both the credits, and the facts, support OMB.

Just seems strange to have 2 OMB credits for the same person, But thanks to all of you for your input.

You have to remember that OMB is a Profiler credit, not an actual film credit.  I believe, and I am sure James will correct me if I am wrong, his double film credit has to do with WGA rules.  Because he wrote the original story and the original script, he gets credit for both.

What I would do in my local, is credit him twice and enter the actual credit in the Custom Role field.  This would give me the context for the double credit...yet another reason the Custom Role field should be contributable.

No, because I didn't need to mention it, Martian, it bears no relevance to the credit. It is interesting knowledge but it has no bearing.

I deal with the data and only the data, i don't go out and search for things or my own knowledge to create something that the data does NOT say..

As Orici points out we wind up with two of the same credit, which means NOTHING.

If it bears no relevance, why ask for a better source?  Sorry, but that dog won't hunt.

Except you aren't dealing with the data.  The data says that the film was based on something he wrote, yet you are advocating entering him as acually doing the writting.  How, exactly is that not creating something that the data does not say?

And what, exactly, does giving him credit, for something he didn't do, mean?  He didn't write the Story, nor did he write the Screenplay, yet you want to give him credit for doing both.  How is that, in any way shape or form, accurate?

Both OMB, but I don't know if I would list the same person double. (For me one would be enough)

I would, indeed, list him twice.  I would also mention, in my notes, that I entered him twice because he was credited as "Based on an original screenplay by" and "Based on the original story by."

'grats.  You do realize that, now that you have broken the thousand post mark, you can never go back to your normal life.  You are now, and forever more, a Zombiephile...well, at least until Ken changes his Avatar again.  I really did prefer being a 'Sixaholic'.

Hmm, didn't work for me. 

Perhaps I explained wrong.    So I'll try again.
I think this would be great in DVDP:
John Carpenter [John "The Godfather of Horror" Carpenter] - Writer [Written by]

So we would have the same crew roles, but we could track how this role is credited.
