I'm having a bit of trouble making some people understand how i have credited Dan Marino in this film this is how he appears in the credits

So i have enter him "As Himself" this is how that appears on the contribution page

the problem is the small "as" i cant make some understand that it only appears on the contribution page and is not part of the profile this is the comment posted with a No vote

I still think you should just credit him as 'Himself' not 'As Himself'. The rules say to take the credits from the movie, but in this case those credits clearly mean to say himself not 'As Himself' as if it were some name.
So I think the no voter is right... It just doesn't make sense to specify "As Himself" in the role, even though it looks better in the software than in the contribution page.

I see where you are going with this... and not sure this made it into the actual rules yet... but if I remember correctly it was agreed upon a long time ago to drop the AS in that situation... If not on the online version you will get...

Dan Marino as As Himself

just like in the contribution page.

Yes this is the other reason I've post this to get peoples opinion on how he should be credited I've always tried to credit people exactly as in the credits but i understand that sometimes this is not always possible or desirable.

if you want opinions... then in my opinion the As should be dropped.
