Yes, that is insane, Francois Berleand, François Berleand, Francois Berléand, François Berléand.  All existing entries... none of which link.

Yes they do - if the current rules are properly followed. Instead, you're suggesting a rule change where such credits won't link, even if each and every user were to to follow your rule to the best of their ability. There's a huge difference there.

Please explain why they wouldn't link if the CA rule is applied.

I'm confused.

That's insane. All possible entries... none of which would link.

If people were doing it the way it was being asked of them... they would. There's no room for interpretation in É = é & E = e. It translates across all regions, across all languages. The proposal you're making unfortunately does not. Plus there's the thought that É = é & E = e doesn't leave it open for the person translating the credits to have to rely on their best knowledge of a language they don't know anything about. Your proposal does exactly this.

Tim and Merrik have it precisely right. The sysetm would work, if only people would follow the Rules. It is designed to work.

This is not about the Overview field. As to the Role field I have explained THAT, Hal. You have fictional, that you want to add fictional data to....NO. For cap purposes fine but anything else that you clearly believe is part of the caps NO. AS for the explanation of what I have said, I am not repeat again fo ryiou, Hal, it has been explained repeatedly, it's very easy to do. I wouldn't even describe it as a fundamental change to the CA system unlike what you want to do.

Your whole purpose is to simply create an argument, chaos and so muddy the water that everyone chases everyone's tail and that is why we have 34 pages of utter insanity. That or something else which I don't want to say.

If you want to discuss Overview start another thread.           Surfeur already tried deception and misdirection by talking about words that are not names, and even dragging a Title into it. Let me remind you, Hal, the Topic is Role Capitalization?. Stay on topic.

If you don't know the language of the profile you are working on well enough to get the spelling correct, perhaps you should leave it to someone else to do.

Luckily, I don't have to, since Ken wisely set a simple, universal and foolproof method to deal with all those credits, so we can all deal with all them equally fine. Wonderful, isn't it? Imagine the horror if we didn't have that - before we knew it, you'd actually be going around telling people to keep their hands off their own profiles! Oh wait: you just did that already! 

If you honestly believe that is the way to run this database, then I give up...

Tim, can you please look at the chart Yves posted. When I look at that it seems that there is a problem and that a solution should be possible.

If, as many suggest, that what is in place presently is not adequate. What do you suggest as a new, simple solution to address what is specifically addressed in that chart.

This thread has become so long and convoluted that I am becoming increasingly confused.
