| | Posted: | | | | One more time I am more than just a little bit annoyed by someone who thinks he/she has to "reform" several names without any sence...
I just got an update for a profile and the only change was the spelling of the name "Duval" now to "DuVal". Did you ever have similar problems?
Not every name starting with "Du..." or "De..." needs a capital letter after that and locking several updates only because of that reason for me is wasted time.
If there is a space between (like in "De Vito") then the capital letter is correct, but not every "Debit" has to be a "DeBit" and also not every "Macintosh" is a "MacIntosh".
So if you think that a change is neccessary because the name is written wrong, would you be so kind and check the actor/actress via Google, IMDB, Wikipedia first? This avoids senceless updates and the additional work to re-update the wrong spelling from the last update back to the correct one. |

| | Posted: | | | | It's not going to change in your local database. Those types of changes only affect the contributors db. So if you have Duval and a contribution changes it to DuVal, your database will stay at Duval. Same with MacDonald/Macdonald, etc. | | | My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it! |

| | Posted: | | | | These names are very old. I assume there was an automatic capitalization tool in action - once upon a time... Additional information to huskersports post: - same for BYs which exist locally: they are kept - if such differences are detected, a button "Optional Updates" is shown:  There you can see which amendments are skipped by default and you can manually import each of them into you local data base... | | | | Complete list of Common Names • A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1) |
