| | Posted: | | | | IF you identified every single person in the film, and a name in the uncredited list was not among them, you would have proven that that person is not in the film.
Go knock yourself out.
I can also quite easily prove that a rock is NOT a tree.
Whoever started the concept that you cannot prove a negative, is an idiot! | | | | Hal |

| | Posted: | | | | I have resubmitted the profile again.
The 5 uncredited actors are listed.
I have removed all 19 actors that were listed as credited but are not in the film credits.
Now does anyone have heartburn about that?
All as per rules! | | | Jim

| | Posted: | | | | 8ballMax says "No...should tick uncredited...not remove."
I can't do that as per rules. I cannot prove that they are in the film and uncredited.
I can prove they are not in the credits. | | | Jim

| | Posted: | | | | If those people are in the film, but not credited, then removing them makes the database LESS accurate.
Please provide proof that by removing them, you are making the database more accurate! | | | | Hal |

Please provide proof that by removing them, you are making the database more accurate! Proof up yours. My proof is that they are not in the credits but are listed in the profile as credited. | | | Jim

Proof up yours. My proof is that they are not in the credits but are listed in the profile as credited. That only proves that they are not in the credits; it does not prove that they are not in the film. | | | | Hal |

| | Posted: | | | | I don't have to prove they are in the film. You do. I have just remove bad data because it said they were credited and they are not. Now you prove that they are in the film and deserve to be listed as uncredited. | | | Jim

| | Posted: | | | | I am not the one trying to remove the data...you are. If you are going to remove data, you must provide proof that it is inaccurate. The only thing so far that you have proven to be inaccurate is that the "uncredited" box is not checked for these entries. To correct that, you should check the box for them.
They should not be removed if they are in fact in the film.
Since you do not know if they are or they are not, then you should leave them alone as I stated earlier.
Just as I could not add cast members to a profile without documenting that they are in the film, you cannot remove them without documenting that they are not. | | | | Hal |

For all I know someone was just trying to mess up our database. | | | Jim

| | Posted: | | | | When removing someone that is list as credited and they are not in the credits that is the proof for removing them. As many many cast and crew have been removed from other profiles. The proof is in the film credits.
Now for the 5 that are listed as uncredited I concede and have left them in the file, because I cannot prove they are not in the film. | | | Jim
