Yes I was Hal. Thanks for spelling it out for those who missed the painfully obvious.

Certainly not that obvious, just show me where in this quote the word "crew credit and crew credit only" are written?

As I suggested a couple of years ago, "open credits" is the only way to solve the bulk of these silly problems. Just enter what you see as you see it on the screen.

Don't try to make me look like a NFBSK idiot, I can do it myself and this is not the case here.

It should have been obvious because we already have 'open credits' for cast...meaning we already enter what we see as we see it on the screen.  Why would Dan suggest that we do something we are already doing? 

Btw, what is an NFBSK idiot?

I also totally agree that profiles of the same film should be linked, cast and crew wise.

I'm against that for the following reasons -

Different versions of the same film may not have the same credits. For example the Star Wars special edition Vs the original release of the films. Or Directors cuts Vs standard editions. In both cases they can relate to the same film but still have subtle differences to the credits.

Different localities can have different credits for dubbing & the like.

Who decides which films to link?

If you submit a change for cast/crew on a profile, who gets to vote, only the people with that specific release or everyone with that title.

While I agree that linking that sort of info would be a good idea in theory, I think in practice it would be too hard to implement.

The vast majority of all editions of the same film have exactly the same credits. Many of them even share the exact same disc. The rest can be handled with exceptions, just as we handle them for profile links today. By using a checkbox you could make them profile specific. But you don't design a system around the exceptions, you design them for the bulk of the data and this would go a long way of clearing up the current mess. A small inconvenience would easily weigh up a gigantic one.

Maybe I don't understand clearly or something get lost in translation (my english isn't too bad, but it's not my first language), but when I see write what is written on the screen only I read don't use "credited as" since it isn't what is on screen. This equals to me the way to do it in the 2.0 version.

Well, at least, I now know why it wasn't obvious to you.  Thanks for the explanation.

Just an expression that came from another board where I am a member.

NFBSK = Not For British School Kids

So it's curse words without offensing anyone.

Thanks for that explanation as well.

Ummm we already have Open Credits for Cast and have had for several years now.

Skip you're not fast enough, I've already answer to Unicus 6 hours before your comment to explain where the confusion came for me. No need to add this kind of comment like you do usually, just take the time to read before posting a message.

P.S : Don't see an attack here this isn't the case at all.
