Quote: I think it might be a different result if cast and crew were excluded. Those are huge animals that a lot of people don't want to tackle. But something like an overview, or a title change. I think those should be complete if you are going to submit them.
I disagree, Uncus with respect. You have watched my work for years now. I primarily deal with Overviews relative to Italics, bold and trademark symbols. We have other users who are very good prof readers. So now you are trying to tell me that I have to proof read , too.? I don't think so.
Skip I am not telling you you have to do anything. I am telling you what I believe you should do. I am also telling you I will vote 'no' if you don't correct the entire overview. You are, of course, free to ignore that vote if that is what you choose to do. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| Posted: | | | | Quoting Dan W: Quote: I find it amusing that only six (so far) seem to agree with those who bashed Skip a for the past several days for not placing quotes around 'loverly'. I don't usually vote in DVDP polls between 7:00 am and 8:00 am on a Sunday morning. It takes a little while for the world to spin around you know. | | | ...James

| Posted: | | | | Quoting Unicus69: Quote: Because it is still wrong...based on the rules. I don't care whether or not you correct the entire cast list. BUT, if you make a change to a single actor, you should make sure that actor is completely correct. Therfore if you want to correct the first name in "Cotrney//Cox Arquette" you will loose anyway. Some will vote no because you should also change the parsing to "Courtney/Cox/Arquette". When you do others will vote no because you did. And a third group tells you to enter "Courtney//Cox" into the common name and "Courney Cox Arquette" into as credited. And the only thing you wanted to do is correct the first name spelling. And of course a fourth group bitches about the capitalisation of the role name. | | | Last edited: by RHo |

Parsing is not covered in the rules...spelling is. I stand by my original statement. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

I stand by my original statement. Of course we could play the same game with spelling: how do I correct the last name in "Francoit Truffot" without getting no votes for the first name? The on screen name would be FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT. |
