| | Posted: | | | | Ok I was doing some updates today from, and as I have a lot of head shots w/o approved birth years I have to look at ever cast change to see if it will remove a BY that I need.
I see this in the Batman TAS Vol 3
from : Efrem Zimbalist Jr. as Alfred (Voice)
to: Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. [Efrem Zimbalist Jr.] as Alfred (Voice)
then in another update Batman TAS Vol 4
from : Efrem Zimbalist Jr. [Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.] as Alfred (Voice)
to : Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. as Alfred (Voice)
It seems we have a pissing contest between contributors
this is getting tedious just like DiG vs Dig while in the most technical sense not correct but it has no effect in searches that I can tell.
There needs to be some way to get this stuff sorted an get people to stop with the flipping back and forth with new contributions

| | Posted: | | | | It's a filter. You can't contribute 'Efrem Zimbalist Jr.' any more. There has to be a ', Jr.' at the end or DVDProfiler forces it to be become 'Credited As'. |

| | Posted: | | | | Right... and I have noticed doing updates myself.... some people don't check if what the filter is doing is correct. I have seen where filters change Efrem Zimbalist Jr. to Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. [Efrem Zimbalist Jr.] when the credits have Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. so no credit as is needed anyway. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Of course it also depends on what is in the credits. I have seen TV series where the credits are different from episode to episode. Some would have Efrem Zimbalist Jr. and other episodes would have Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. (not necessarily with this name... but in general). | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I always update my collection before making any changes to make sure everything is up to date. I have noticed though that it doesn't matter at times because invelos changes things. I will have the correct Cast/Crew data locally yet when I contribute other information I will notice that the data is different on the contribution page. The majority of time, as far as I can remember, these changes are similar to the ones you originally posted. When I come across this - I always re-update that profile and double check it. I then add a note about the situation in my documentation. I don't bother smashing my face into a wall though...I've already got two black eyes!  | | | | Last edited: by Kathy |

That and birth years are just screwing me tonight.

| | Posted: | | | | Please remember to check the credits first... and use credited as where needed. You need to use Credited as when there is no comma in the credits. | | | | Pete | | | | Last edited: by Addicted2DVD |
