The big thing I noticed and that you are willing to accept is that he is GUESSING. Not documenting, not verifying GUESSINGB he even says so specifically. nOW AS HAS BEEN NOTED many times, it is NOT at al uncoomon for women upon marriage to simply move their maiden name to the Middle Name position. I would therefore demand far better documentation than a GUESS.

I did not want to be specific because I wanted be to see for themselves instead of taking my word for it. All the Yes voters took the contributers word for his contribution to correct, however he added this to th cast, Son House as Himself, and it is not in the region 1 release (cast is correct as is). Common names have no documentaion, just the CLT. So how do we know if they are the same people.

The biggest problem with these contributions is this user or any like him is just assuming that all info is the same between localities and it is not. This kinda work should be against the rules.

I agree with that & although not currently in the rules, it has been supported by both Ken & Gerri that you should own the specific release if you're contributing to it.

Although I fully agree about documenting common names, Ken has said that in most cases CLT details are enough.

But in this case with the CLT I have found mistakes where it is not the same person.

In that cases then a "No" vote is obviously correct, just remember to make it as clear as possible in the limited space for the vote notes.

hello?

@ Invelos: can we please, PLEASE address the parsing issue somehow? Despite having the same heated arguments for several years in a row now, there are still double, non-linking entries for literally EVERY three-piece name in the database. There's no sign of improvement whatsoever, and it's abundantly clear we won't figure it out among ourselves. Please?

And for the time being, couldn't someone maintain some kind of pinned thread where we track "documented" double last names like this? I'd do it myself, but I really don't think I'm the right person for this, as, for instance, I personally feel that maiden names never qualify as a "middle name"...

It is just a shame that Ken came out against going to a single name field... as I think that would solve all parsing problems. I believe we will have parsing problems to go through as long as there is more then one field. No matter what rule Ken decides on.... as we will still have arguments on which field the name(s) belong in.

I don't know what the region 1 end credits look like, but Son House is indeed credited on my release - but it's separate from the rest of the cast - at the end of the film the main cast are credited with their names superimposed over a short clip of them. Son House is at the very end of this sequence, just before the screen goes black and you get the "a CRAIG BREWER film" credit.
As per the rules anyone credited outside the "standard film credits" (as defined by the rules) goes to the top of the cast list.

I believe I also have the same update on my version of the film, and I've checked the CLT and all choices seem to pan out. I can't find anything wrong with the submission.

Yes I know that rule but Son House is archival material and is not listed with the actual end credits. Since when do we add archival material to the profile.

per rules:
Quote:
For any film with standard credits, take the actor information from the end credits only, with names and roles listed exactly as they are in the credits and in exactly the same order credited

Son House is not listed with the end credit order

So in other words, this is not a case of regional credit differences. 

The Son House issue was previously discussed in this thread.

Archive or not, Son House is given an on-screen credit, it's just not repeated in the standard cast credit list afterwards. That makes the end credits "non-standard".
The director chose to credit Son House with an appearance on a par with his main cast, it's not up to us to decide that just because it was archive material we don't class it as a credit.

Edit: looks like it James, I thought otherwise till I came across my update, but it looks like it is the "Son House" argument again.
