These are all from Scary Movie 2, I let them all off on my contribution, but could plug them in if they should be included. What does everyone else think?:

1 - Associate Visual Effects Supervisor

2 - Visual Effects Digital Manager

3 - Special Effects Administrator

4 - Special Effects Key

#1 was close to going in but the word "associate" kept him out as if he was a producer. The others not as much, but did make me look at the rules again and scratch my head.

I would leave them out as well.  I would have, even though you didn't ask, included "Prosthetics Make-up" as Make-up Effects.

Even though you didn't include it, I do appreciate the fact that you included it in your notes.  Now I am able to add it to my local without doing a full audit myself.

No "prothetics" credits on this one, just good old fashioned make-up effects.
I did forget to include in my notes Douglas J. White - Marijuana Plant Created and Designed by, which now that I'm thinking about, should probably get a "creature design" credit.

I would include special effects key if there's no supervisor or coordinator.

This is where it gets tricky. There are 4 other "visual effects" or "digital effects" supervisors who did get rightful credit, but those were near the end of the credits. All the question marks are near the beginning/middle.
