| | Posted: | | | | There's a Michael Jackson in the database with BY=1938 (The Munsters, The Hardy Boys II).
Should we now provide the "other" Michael Jackson with his BY (1958 I think), to avoid that the BY of the not so well known actor spreads around? I found that this tends to happen when profiles are refreshed. Would mean an update of hundreds of profiles though... | | | | Hans |

| | Posted: | | | | There was a contribution recently that removed the BY for the 1958 Michael Jackson i mentioned this in my vote that it was being removed and was it needed but the contribution was not changed and it was approved. |

| | Posted: | | | | The purpose of the BY is to discriminate between more than one actor with the same name. In the case of two people, as long as one of them has a BY then the distinction between the two has been made. One would have a BY and one would not, that said I would not argue with each having a BY.

| | Posted: | | | | Not quite right,
the problem starts when you try to reinstall a backup, then the actor with BY overwrites the actor without BY. So if we start adding BY's then necessarily to all actors with the same name. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
