Opening credits:


No end credits for main actors who are only on opening credits.
Note that Isaach De Bankolé is with visible accent here, though Sabine Azéma is not, which proves once again that credits cannot be trusted.

The credits are just as, if not more, trustworthy than any other source or personal opinion. Simply write what you see. The credits might be written exactly the way the actors wanted them to be written. Or, not. Who  knows? Writing what you see takes the guessing out of the equation.

You think that because you have no idea of French spelling. é is as different from e in French then a from i in English. And I cannot imagine Bruce Willis asking to be credited as Bruce Wallas. Sabine Azéma is very well known in France, and nobody would call her Sabine Azema.

I completely understand what you are saying but it is irrelevant. The accent is there for one person but not the other. You can NOT know that the lack of an accent was a mistake or deliberate - you are guessing. If is an educated guess but a guess none the less.

Please, do not try to explain things that you are not aware of. There is no lack of accent in AZEMA. The accent is there, and perfectly visible when you know French, as in EVENEMENT, the é and è are perfectly visible. Your reasoning is because you have no idea how it works in French. And I cannot imagine myself explaining you how your language works, it would be totally stupid from my part. To explain, the same sign is different depending of the context. You can make the difference between O in Organisation and in 2O14, a letter or a number. It is the same for E which can be é or è or e depending of the context.

My vision is perfect. I don"t  have to understand another language or get into "context" to write what I see.  The fact is, you are adding an accent that does not exist in these credits. Whether the credits read "color" or "colour", that is what write. I do not  need to know or understand the language, culture or context - nor do I want to - as far as profiler is concerned. Simple.

This.  In the example above there is no accent, so it shouldn't be credited as such, unless the common name contains the accent.

Sufeur51,

we know your feeling s about the common name system.  That has been made perfectly clear.  The only time you chime in to the contribution forums is to whine about it.  Ok we know you don't like the system we have, we get that.  You really don't need to fill all common name threads that have names with accents with the opinion we already know.  Let people find the common name as it is defined by the Invelos rules and quit trying to get reactions out of people.  It really gets tiring watching you beat a dead horse just because you want to create drama.

Go make your arguments to Ken, because the rulings are out there and the only thing that can change them is a rule change which is done in the rules forum, not here.

We would all LOVE a better linking system, but we do not have a better one at present so we have to work with what we have until we have a better system

Well it seems to me that I came here to give the requested information about "Vanille fraise". Sorry if you do not find this post useful.

My other posts here are just answers to hateful attacks from people stupid enough to ignore that other languages than English exist in the world, or arrogant enough to consider that American spelling rules must apply to all languages in the world.

I had French in school, I know what you are talking about when you say that it is obvious for many names that they should be credited with an accent. But if they aren't then we have do go with that. This has nothing to do with arrogance. If there are credits with English (or German or Spanish) names spelled wrongly we also count them that way. Because we are looking for the most common, not the most correct version of the name.

The problem is that those names are not spelled wrongly. SABINE AZEMA is perfectly correct. But when you transform this name in Sabine Azema, ignoring the accent that exists in E, you create a wrongly  spelled non linking variant, though the credits were perfectly correct. SABINE AZEMA = Sabine Azéma and nothing else, exactly as 1+1=2, and it is not a question of opinion or guessing, even if some here are totally unable to accept that fact.

This is exactly it.  The common name is the most common credited name, whether the credited name is misspelled based on the region, language, origin of the person, or just flat out misspelled.  It is not about being ignorant and thinking English is the only language.

@surfeur51 - Your answer just made my point - If you think we are stupid for following the rules for the online DB in determining the common name then take it to the rules forum and see if you can get the definition of "Common Name" changed.  It does not belong in common name threads where people are trying to just do what is correct  based on the rules.  Just maybe those hateful attacks you mention come because of your approach (like this one) by implying people are stupid.

But again we have had posts from Ken on how to transform these and it is his database, he owns it.    Take it up with him and leave it out of the common name threads where people are following the rules trying to find a common name based on the direction of the database owner.  The horse is dead, beating it won't help or get the result  you want.  Take it up in the rules forum in a positive manner.

Then came the attacks, and I had to reexplain my position for people who have not understood it.

This is the common name thread for Isaach De Bankolé/Isaach De Bankole!
Could you please discuss you're problems for SABINE AZEMA becoming Sabine Azeman instead of Sabine Azéman in the thread were it belongs!
Thank you!
