or just ignore it. I've always thought that that part of the rules was taking things a bit too far so personally I would ignore it, but unfortunately it would be for local only. Quote:

| | Posted: | | | | The music credit appears to be for composing the song. Googling the name and the song title gives a handful of hits which verify this interpretation. Here's a compelling one:

(Sorry; linky not working for me right now.)
The initial format is just a stylistic choice. I would parse them in the usual way. | | | | Last edited: by CalebAndCo |

Were it me i'd parse them normally (that is, ignore it) No!! Don't ignore it: per the rules and per Ken's specific instructions here it HAS to be entered as "B. C. Sewell [B.C. Sewell]". | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

Sewell [B.C.Sewell]" with no spaces in the Credited As? Ken's message is not an instruction but an explanation of how the program handles things. I see initials with periods after them and the spaces are implicit. (And as with all things in life there will be exceptions to this guideline as well, but that is my starting point) | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

I see initials with periods after them and the spaces are implicit. That is, however, in direct conflict what Ken said. You might feel the spaces are implicit even when you don't see them, but as you can see, the lack or presence of a space results in completely different ways of profiling the credit. So we do differentiate based on just that minor difference. How would this be any different? It all boils down to the bit of the rules that says to "list names exactly as they are in the credits." Exactly, in this case, means: no space on the screen, no space in DVD Profiler (at least not in the "credited as" field). |

| | Posted: | | | | If the periods don't count as separators, then logic would dictate that B.C.Sewell is one word and should be parsed B.C.Sewell//
So, the way I see it, it's either B./C./Sewell or B.C.Sewell// and I sure know which one I'd pick.
Now, that's not to say that I'd ignore Ken's directive, but it makes no sense IMHO. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | The Rules tell us to use B./C./Sewell, it is possible that he could be credited either as B./C./Sewell or B.C.Sewell. B. C. Sewell [B.C.Sewell] follows the Rules for handling the name AND tells us exactly how he is credited in THIS film. Very simple.
The problem here is, instead of following both the Rules and the data everybody is trying to interpret one or the other.

"based on the famous play by" is not listed in the rules. Without some clarification or rules change from Invelos it is not contributable. Quote:
J. O. C. Orton [Story By]?
"Scenario" is not listed in the rules. Often "Scenario" is used for "Screenplay" in European film. Without some clarification or rules change from Invelos it is not contributable. Quote:

"Dialogue" is not listed in the rules. Quote:

Sewell" as credited as which would be worse than no credited as IMO. If at all you want to add a credited as, it should be "BC.Sewell". | | | | Last edited: by RHo |

The way it's displayed on the screen HAS to be preserved in the "credited as" field - that is what the whole "list names exactly as they are in the credits" rule is about. |

No credited as "B.C. Sewell" is definitely wrong. The sapce after the B. is as big as the space after the C.! I already addressed that minor typo: I meant "B./C./Sewell [B.C.Sewell]", obviously. That is the one and only correct entry. | | | | Last edited: by T!M |
