Just to follow up on my previous post, there's a contribution up for vote right now that copies its cast and crew data from another approved profile (as allowed by the rules), and it contains six errors when compared to the actual film credits.  So much for the wisdom of allowing copying from approved profiles.

Ken allows for mistakes - it's not a big deal.

Update the profile and contribute any needed changes.

Obviously, it's just a shame IMO that we're allowed to copy incorrect data over incomplete but correct data.

The system sucks.  To have a hundred different profiles stretched over all the different localities for the same film is silly.  That isn't slamming the program or Ken, as things have changed over the years.  From his somewhat cryptic postings I think that is the way the program is headed The only time I have used Cast & crew from another profile without verifying it is for blank or almost blank profiles.  In that case it's better than nothing.  I'd hope that if people were copying data from another profile into a profile that appears to have good data they'd check first, to make sure it is correct information.

No changes are needed.  My profile is correct.

Then why do you care?

I care enough to mention it but not enough to correct it.
