I don't like the idea of creating dividers when there aren't any in the credits, and don't believe the rules allow for it, so I voted 'no'.  I will, of course, bow to the will of the majority.

Again just as with Alien's poll, this one is going in the wrong direction, Martian. Sorry, the issue is not granting license to necessarily invent Dividers where none exist.It iinvolves a specific credit design, which we refer to as  non-Standard Credits, which allows us to obtain Role information from outside, in this case we collection of Actors which are all  credited as Apes in various sites, so under the definition of a divider we simply a Divider called Apes. This creates a Profiler unique dataset, which contains the  actor information as the film and the role data taken from elsewhere and makes it our own.

As noted the Rule state "Dividers allow the segregation of cast and crew into logical groupings. Wherever possible, these groupings should mirror the film credits.

We have a logical grouping, as to the rol;es we cannot mirror the credits since it is a Non-Standard listing, but the Actors names are listed correctly and in order so the only thing that remains is use of Divider to define the logical grouping of a list of Actors who all fall under the heading Apes and if i recall correctly one of them is also Moonwatcher, which is alsopermitted under the divider Rule.

I can't vote on flawed poll.

Changed your mind? Does that mean that you could not argue the point.  Either of them, woo there;'s a rarity.

Hmm.  I seem to remember arguments about creating things from whole cloth, once upon a time.

If there is no divider in the film credits, then we cannot invent one.

The Rules clearly allow us to use other sources for Role Names.  They say nothing about creating dividers from other sources.

Obviously, I voted no.

Wouldn't doing this - putting in a divider when there isn't anything like that in the credits, be going against the contribution rule that says to take the cast from the credits?  And wouldn't that be creating data that isn't there?

I have voted no based on my understanding of the present guidelines. If I were to contribute this data as of today, I would not use dividers.

But, locally, I would then change my collection to what Taro outlined as I too think it looks better.

I am of the mind that since we have dividers, I want to use them. Please note that I only do so locally if there is any conflict with invelos guidelines.

Quoting Taro:

Quote:
I'm inclined to say, yes, use group dividers. Those dividers may not be graphically present in the on-screen credits, but then again they can't be since those actors aren't attributed a role.

Instead of seeing:
X as ape
Y as ape
Z as ape
etc

I'd rather see:
APES:
X
Y
Z

It seems tidier to me. Although I can understand the argument that when following the rules to the letter we aren't allowed to do this (however, I believe the spirit rather than the literal wording of the rule would suggest it's OK to do this). Perhaps someone at Invelos should weigh in on this.

+1

I would allow both.

If we can invent roles, why not also dividers. (Of course mentioned in the contribution notes)
