So, should I be removing these credits also? Looking at the Contribution Notes for the set I have, it looks like I was the one who added the cast/crew credits almost 5 years ago. Was I mistaken in adding the 20th Anniversary credits?

Quote:
I am at the other side and believe they should not be included.

For example there is a contribution up right now that adds location crew. Most are voting no. Votes now are at 2 Yes and 5 No.

The Dividers say Chicago Unit and Calgary Unit.

From the Rules:

Quote:
Do not enter unit crew such as "Unit Photographer"

From Geri in a thread asking about Location Crew:

Quote:
As I read the rules, none of the Unit crew should be included. The rules state "For each category, include only those people credited with the roles listed in the "Film Credits to Include" column. If someone is not credited with one of these roles, do not include them in the Crew section."

That seems pretty clear to me. If I am missing something in the discussion, which is probable, let me know.

-Gerri

While I agree that what she says isn't as clear as I wish it was... the first sentence I put in bold seems pretty clear... especially on Unit crew none being allowed.

Now with the credits actually saying Chicago Unit and Calgary Unit.... these are obviously unit crew.. credits say so itself... so going by Geri clarification these can not be added.

I am trying to wrap my head around this so I understand completely. Are we saying these are not allowed only when they use the word Unit? I hope this isn't the case as we all know credits can be formed many different ways. And we will have a situation of sometimes yes and sometimes no. Leading to no consistency and contribution confusion.

And to me restoration/special edition crew seems to be the same type of thing.

Quote:
Putting aside the Location Crew discussion because that is a totally different discussion, why should these Crew members not get added?

The 20th Anniversary Edition lists these Crew in the credits, using a divider, and many of them are found on the Crew chart.

This data can not be considered deleted scenes either because this DVD was made with the assistance of those Crew shown in the screenshot.

Going strictly by the Crew Chart and even Gerri's statement many of these Crew members should get credited.

Please point out in the rules/clarifications what I am missing that would exclude them.

Quote:
These "SPECIAL CREWS" were not involved in the primary filming or production of the film, therefor I argue that they are no different than a location crew....

Quote:
Use Episode dividers for TV show episodes, distinct films, or other logical episodic distinction.

Quote:
The complete rules section regarding dividers. No where does it say multiple films.

Distinct means:

Quote:
1
:  distinguishable to the eye or mind as discrete :  separate <a distinct cultural group> <teaching as distinct from research>
2
:  presenting a clear unmistakable impression <a neat distinct handwriting>
3
archaic :  notably decorated
4
a :  notable <a distinct contribution to scholarship>
b :  readily and unmistakably apprehended <a distinct possibility of snow> <a distinct British accent>
— dis·tinct·ly adverb
— dis·tinct·ness noun
See distinct defined for English-language learners »
See distinct defined for kids »

I think 1 perfectly defines the topic of this thread. These editions are distinguishable to the eye or mind as discrete in that new effects or added scenes make them distinguishable from the theatrical editions.

Dividers

Dividers allow the segregation of cast and crew into logical groupings. Wherever possible, these groupings should mirror the film credits.

    Use Episode dividers for TV show episodes, distinct films, or other logical episodic distinction. Also use episode dividers for full cast division, such as "Japanese Voices".
    Use Group dividers to designate cast grouped in the credits such as "Soldiers" or "Additional Cast".
    "Cast", "In order of appearance" or other similar headers at the start of the credits should not be entered.
    Also use Group dividers for crew teams, included only if the crew meets the other listing requirements.
    Groups should be ended with a "Group End" type divider, unless the next entry begins a new group. Do not add a group end divider at the end of the cast, or at the end of a crew section.

Then, I guess, it's time to remove credits from All the Special Editions of the Star Wars films, Terminator 2, The Abyss, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Apocalypse Now and The Big Red One: The Reconstruction.
