There is a contribution up for 'Zombieland'.  It does not add full crew, so I made a contribution that does.  There is, however, a difference of opinion as to a single credit.  Here is the cast list as presented in the end credits:

Columbus          Jesse Eisenberg
Tallahassee      Woody Harrelson
Wichita            Emma Stone
Little Rock        Abigail Breslin
406                  Amber Heard
As Himself        Bill Murray
Clown Zombie    Derek Graf

Here is the question...How do you enter Bill Murray?  Note: Ken has already ruled on the "Name: Himself  Role: Bill Murray" debate so that is a non-issue.

Quote:
The poll is right-on.  Enter as:

Name: Bill Murray
Role: Himself

Quote:
I see no problem listing the cast (as uncredited) and crew from the official site in this case.

Quote:

My thought on this is that if the cast listing is explicit, as in "Himself as Bob Smith", or "Bob Smith played by Himself", then the Credited As field should be used to preserve intent.  However, if the only indication of Name/Role is left/right, I would lean towards allowing the credit to be entered as name: "Bob Smith", role: "Himself"

EDIT: And yes, use only the pointy end of the arrow to select colors.

Sorry if this has been discussed already.

Disney/Pixar's latest animation Walleee is just about to be released in DVD and Blu-ray.

If I have to guess, name of this movie can be cause some ping-pong on contributions.

I don't know is the poll needed but I hope that it doesn't make a harm.

Actual question is, how to write the title name ???
- WALL or Wall
- sign before E => Bullet, middle dot or regular hypen-minus

Quote:
New filter has been added to replace • and · with - in the title only.
In addition, " -" will be replaced with "-" (space before dash removed)

Quote:
In the case of profile updates, it will show with the dash in the contribution submission page, so they can see it before it is submitted.

Quote:
The extended character • does not show properly in all places in the program, hence the decision to convert it to '-'

Quote:
I removed the filter for " -" to "-".

Quote:
I have submitted a change on a common name.

Changing Common Name, as per "Credit Lookup".

Zoë Saldaña 2/2

Zoë Saldana 12/23

Zoe Saldana 82/211

I have several no votes (7) and alot of yes votes (24) on Pirates.

On Guess Who, I have 7 yes and 0 no voted.

Now, the rules say and I quote:

"Crew and Cast
Take Crew Credits from the film credits only; list names exactly as they are in the credits. Exception: If the credit information is entirely capitalized, use standard capitalization rules instead. 

Use the "Credited As" field where the person's name differs from the credited name.

To determine whether to enter the name directly as credited, or to use the "Credited As" field, use the Credit Lookup tool."

Now, why would you be required to use the Credit Lookup tool and not be required to use the results.

That would not make any sense and make the tool useless.

Quote:
The lookup tool is not to be blindly trusted, however it does outweigh other sources, including autographs.  The common name is not intended to always reflect the "real name", but the most commonly credited name. 

However, if a user documents errors in the database where the credit is not entered properly, that can and should be considered.  Better yet, correct the entries, assuming you own the discs in question, thereby correcting the lookup results.

Quote:
The CLT results do not change when the common name is updated.  The CLT uses the Credited As field only.

And, to answer the question, the number of movies is the more important number.

Hi,

I'm trying to enter a correction for the R1 'The Fifth Element' but keep getting turned down by many people because they disagree with how I have entered 'J.D. Dawodu' in the cast list.

He is credited as 'J.D. Dawodu' on the credits at the end of the movie (with NO space between the J. and the D.)

His most common form on the Credit Lookup tool is 'J.D. Dawodu'=15/38  [J. D. Dawodu=7/26]

Has he really got to be entered as J./D./Dawodu [J.D. Dawodu]??

Quote:
I've added a new filter to standardize initials.  It will operate to move the second initial to the middle name if there is no middle name entered.  If a change is made that affects the displayed name, the Credited As field will be set, if not already set, and if not an uncredited member.

So:

J.D./Dawodu becomes J./D./Dawodu [J.D. Dawodu]
J D/Dawodu becomes J./D./Dawodu [J D Dawodu]
J. D./Dawodu becomes J./D./Dawodu

Not affected by this filter:
JD/Dawodu
J/Dawodu
J.D./Bob/Dawodu

The Invelos evaluators' standing policy is to accept profiles that add significant value.  They do not have to be complete, nor even completely accurate.  If you're submitting 50 painstakingly correct cast entries but get the production year wrong, the profile should be accepted and corrected later.

"No" votes are equally valid in this case, however.  They allow the contributor a chance to correct their submission if they choose, and save someone the effort of the correction later on.

I've sent out a notes reiterating this policy to the evaluators.
