I'd like to add Bernard/W./Burton = Bernard//Burton, B./W./Burton

He was an in-house Universal editor for the 30's and 40's.

I'm doing some old Universal horror films and came across this gem:

Boris//Karloff = //Karloff

This should be a no-brainer, but I guess it should be added to make it official.

Nice call, I'd already done this on my Bride of Frankenstein profile but had forgotten all about it.

James is doing the adding to the database rather than me (aren't you James

), but can you please provide him the links to the documentation for anyone you want adding.

I agree it should be a no brainer, but that will no doubt not cut it for contributions, and for the database we want it to provide that info for anyone contributing it.

We are happy to do the work of putting the database together, and populating it with names/info suggested here, but we don't have time to do the chasing around for the appropriate documentation for every name.

We even provided you the links to some good sites to help you out!

Thanks

That fair enough.

Boris//Karloff = //Karloff, //?

The question mark entry should cover the original Frankenstein profile, when Universal was trying to shroud the monster in mystery.

Although he's only credited as "?" in the opening credits. In the end credits he's credited by name - on my version anyway.

I'd like to add a couple of voice actors from recently approved contributions:

Amanda//Winn-Lee = Amanda//Winn, Amanda//Lee, Amanda//Winn Lee

Wikipedia Link
Answers.com Link
Crystal Acids Link

Akio//Ohtsuka = Akio//Otsuka, Akio//Ôtsuka
Note: I know the guidelines call for using the accent, but I don't believe this is a case where that applies, as this is just a romanizing of his name. I just used the most often credited form of romanization.
Wikipedia Link
Anime News Network Link
Answers.com Link
TV.com Link

And one that has not been contributed but is worth adding here, imho, as he is very prolific in anime.

Steven//Blum = Steven/Jay/Blum, David//Lucas, Andrew//Watton
Steven Blum seems to be the most commonly credited form of his real name.
Evidence that they are all the same person can be found at:
VoiceChasers Link
IMDb Link
Answers.com Link
A Link to a letter written by the actor discussing Steven Blum - David Lucas.

Thanks for the sugestion AA.

Please can you provide links to document your suggestion - we need documentation for all so that others can use the name without having to look up the documentation independently. We can't add it until we have that.

I appreciate that there are some names currently in the database without the documentation links - as James said in an earlier post, these came from this thread before it was need, and will be removed if the documentation is not provided shortly.

He's listed in the following databases with the suggested name:

BFI
Allocine.com
Hollywood.com
Yahoo Movies

But as stated in my first mail, I do not refer to the Web Links but the most credited form of his name and the votes and acceptance for my first contribution for him.

For my feeling the web is influenced by imdb too much - and there he's listed as "Tim De Zarn".

In those cases, how about a list of the films in which he's credited with the suggested name? As long as there's quite a few of them I can't see that being disallowed as documentation. Obviously I don't mean for this one - I'm sure those links will be fine - but for future reference.
However, I don't think I would use previous acceptance as a basis for a common name - there's no guarantee the right name was picked to start with and you can't rely on Ken or Gerri knowing the person involved, so they can only go on the notes submitted.

I provided the list of films which are in my collection as a reference with my first posting (and with the contribution accepted). - I hoped, that the vast majority would make the documentation...

Here's some I've come across lately:

Wade / Andrew / Williams (a.k.a. Wade Williams)

http://imdb.com/name/nm0931898/ - Uses Wade Williams as its own common name but W.A.W. is the more commonly given variant)
http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/individual/912801?view=credit - Corroborates, but woefully incomplete
http://www.tcmdb.com/participant/participant.jsp?participantId=1544666|170098&afiPersonalNameId=null

He has a fair smattering of both names but W.A.W. seems to take the pip; it has been accepted as a common name on numerous profiles including Prison Break S1 & S2, Candyman 3 in R1, and Ali in R2

Neal / H. / Moritz (a.k.a. Neal Moritz)

http://imdb.com/name/nm0605775/
http://www.tcmdb.com/participant/participant.jsp?participantId=135694|0&afiPersonalNameId=null
http://wm03.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=2:224968~T2
http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/individual/342246?view=credit

Pretty conclusive; recently accepted as a common name to Neal Moritz in Soul Survivors for R1

Mathew / / Waters (a.k.a. Matt Waters, Matthew Waters)

http://imdb.com/name/nm0914138/
http://www.tcmdb.com/participant/participant.jsp?participantId=564777|0&afiPersonalNameId=null
http://wm03.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=2:348255~T2
http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/individual/661998?view=credit

Again conclusive; accepted as a common name for Prison Break S1 & S2 in R1

These I have just submitted for various profiles; yet to be processed, but no negative votes:

James / / Thornton (a.k.a. Jim Thornton)

http://imdb.com/name/nm0861537/
http://www.tcmdb.com/participant/participant.jsp?participantId=1502312|0&afiPersonalNameId=null
http://wm03.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=2:114129~T2 - again, corroborates but woefully incomplete
http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/individual/528566?view=credit

A fair helping of both variants but James is still more common than Jim

Christopher / / Sciueref (a.k.a. Jim Thornton)

http://imdb.com/name/nm2544665/
http://uk.castingcallpro.com/u/122369 - seems to be updated by either himself or his representation (clicking on the headshot brings up a page which claims he updated it himself)

The IMDB link is a bit useless; although the common name is correct (see second link), he is actually credited onscreen in Mr. Bean as "Christopher Sciureff"; he is credited with the correct spelling in a S2 episode of Rome, which the IMDB has missed (surprise surprise)

Lynne / Marie / Stewart (a.k.a. Lynne Stewart)

http://imdb.com/name/nm0829620/
http://www.tcmdb.com/participant/participant.jsp?participantId=184731|0&afiPersonalNameId=null - Lynne Marie Stewart (24 entries)
http://www.tcmdb.com/participant/participant.jsp?participantId=184730|0&afiPersonalNameId=null -
Lynne Stewart (14 entries, definitely same person)

As you can see she's gone by LMS pretty much exclusively since 1990, which makes the majority of her career.
