| | Posted: | | | | If the screen credits "Lieutenant Ronald Regan" do I credit as that or do I / Can I abbreviate "Lt. Ronald Reagan"?
In cases where the honorific is already abbreviated, is there a thread for standard honorific abbreviations? | | | | Last edited: by lasitter |

| | Posted: | | | | Abbreviated or not, the names should match the credits. |

But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | Like the others said... exactly As Credited. Make no changes to the credits what so ever. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | As the others have stated...exactly as credited. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

| | Posted: | | | | As long as the data field is long enough to fit the entire title, that is what i would use. Otherwise I think using standard abbreviation rules is acceptable. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | It should be put in exactly as credited, following honorifics rule.
If it is written long form, then put it in long form
If it is abbreviated, then use the abbreviation.
