I agree, I guess. I just wish there was a differant way!Maybe a specific thread people can make their own choice to use the confirmed name or not.

I dont know I only know I would like to be accurate and have an accurate database also, just not the time.

Becouse I know several members only update their own database without contribution becouse they dont beleive in the CLT system. I just think its a little unfair to people that want to be accurate and have a legitimate database but may not have the time to do the leg work.


I would not say things like that. There are people who want to  have a database which properly links actors. But for that, they cannot follow rules, which are not appropriate for many cases. So they do not contribute, and their work is only for them.

I think some would be happy to contribute, as they did before those rules were so rigid. So if there is a problem with people not contributing, why to refuse to discuss rules ?

I guess that goes for quite a lot of users. All I know is that I'd rather spend my time linking together ACTUAL name variants than having to mess with something purely stylistic as the presence or the lack of a space.

I never thought you were negative. I fully understand your point of view.  I just think that as long as rules will say that Francois Truffaut or Mei Melancon are correct, we'll have many people that will not take the time to build stupid profiles only to have the pleasure to contribute them.

For Flags of Our Fathers the credit is without the space. I was not able to get a screen shot though.

Don't pay too much attention to most anything Surfeur says.  He uses every opportunity he can to continue his incessant whining about how the rules discriminate against French users because, according to him, they can't understand them.  This is yet another example of his whining.

To send me red arrows on this post will not change the fact that :

-people who follow rules have problems linking actors

-people who don't follow rules don't have problems to link actors

Masochism ?

You are a happy man. This forum is full of threads were people whine because they cannot link properly their actors.

Looks to me that the space between the dot and the R is much bigger than the space between the B and the dot.

The problem is that a space is not a character in typesetting. It is the gap between characters which can be of variable width.
