| | Posted: | | | | In the classic era Hollywood Studios worked a lot with fashion designers. These were known or mentioned in a single name. Recently I came across "Gowns by Adrian". A fashion designer who worked a lot for MGM in the 30'ties. He worked with Garbo and other famous stars and for movies like "The Wizard of Oz".
Like others he is well documented and also known under his full name.
My question. What do you think/are we allowed to change the credits into a full name for instance "Gowns by Adrian" becomes Costume Designer Adrian Adolph Greenburg (Adrian) when enough documentation is provided or isn't it allowed or accepted? |

| | Posted: | | | | only credited name in the database is Adrian.
if you want to add him in your database, have at it. But you can't upload it to the online database. | | | | Last edited: by ateo357 |

| | Posted: | | | | I can accept it, but I find it messy/disorderly to include an actor/crew member in the online database only under his first name. |

| | Posted: | | | | If that's the way they wanted to be credited, and it's the only name they are credited with, why is it messy/disorderly? Madonna is credited by one name. Cher is credited by one name. Why should this be any different? | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Ok, you have a point there, but very few people are only known under their first name. On the other hand we accept birth years when certain names re-appear for other persons. So we accept that sometimes there can be a mix-up or confusion. Then external proof is accepted, in this case none seem to be accepted. |

| | Posted: | | | | None seems to be accepted because it goes against what the rules tells us to do. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Rules are rules, follow the rules. However we live in constant inconsistancy. When new profiles are contributed or corrections are added sometimes the contributor says that this new info was based on existing info/profiles - roles added while none were shown in the credits or uncredited names which remain present. It isn't always as simple. | | | | Last edited: by marnix64 |

| | Posted: | | | | If the question comes to the ability of contribution, I'd vote for yes. There is an already accepted rule change pending which allows Gowns by if there is no costume designer credited: Quoting: Quote:
