In my opinion, if you have to depend on the background knowledge of a contributor, the starting point isn't neutral. Right, well said. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

But do we really want to force somebody to enter Helena/Bonham/Cater into the database only because it´s the starting point and the user is not willing to dig up the same documentation that has been brought up many times before ignoring completely his background knowledge? Remember I´m talking for the initial addition of a credit to a profile. I´m not talking about changes where the starting point has obviously already been given and documentation is of course mandatory. |

And your statement is exactly why we need such things. I don't want YOUR gesses or anyone else's. We need a consistent beginning, not your guess no matter how how wise yiou think it is.

For something where the second word looks like a given name 1/2/3 is neutral and for something where the middle word looks like a family name 1//2 3 is more neutral than 1/2/3 (even though I know that some US women move their maiden name into their middle name. But in the complete picture 1//2 3 is more neutral when 2 is a family name. Neutral, by definition, means impersonal...having no personal preference. Once you see the credit as a name, and consider the background knowledge of the contributor, it is no longer impersonal so it is no longer neutral. Quote:
But whenever I add a credit to a profile (instead of changing it), I use my background knowledge to make an educated guess without needing to add a lengthy documentation of an extensive research about that name.

Since it has been documented so many times, why wouldn't he document it for someone that hasn't followed the many times it has been brought up. But this isn't about Bonham Carter. This is about getting a starting point for those that we don't know. And for those, 1/2/3 is way more neutral than 1//2 3 Quote:

Ah, I see, the starting point may be different depending on the knowledge of the contributor. I do not depend on the knowledge of others. But that's not really important and I have difficulties expressing myself on this detail. |

Can you show me one or better several contribution notes, where you have added a complete cast list to a profile without cast? I suspect that what you call something "that might couse some confusion" is subjective on your part. The same would be true for my contributions. For example I see no reason to document "Helena//Bonham Carter" when adding this credit (again changing would be different) because I don't expect any confusion here. Of course it is subjective on my part. As to your request, here are the notes for 'Hotel For Dogs' (097363494843). I added full cast and crew to this profile. Just as an aside, I used this credit to correct all the other Shuler Donner credits, for films I own, so that is why I initially thought it was a change. 1 - Added rating detail from back of case. 2 - Added 'Family' to genre...it is a family film. 3 - Added studios from film credits, corrected MC from back of case. 4 - Added subtitles by using DVD remote. 5 - Added crew and cast from film credits exactly as credited. Note: Parsing for Lauren Shuler Donner determined by credit that reads 'Assistants to Ms. Shuler Donner'. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

He may be too lazy to dig out the documenting link for each and every contribution on a well known name. How much work can we expect from a contributor for day to day business? Isn't it enough to bring only the disputed data to discussion to voters, to screeners, and sometimes to the forum? |

| | Posted: | | | | No Rho, we need a starting point for ALL users to work from, to prevent users from GUESSING,. Are you suggesting that you will start documenting your knowledge in your notes. Of coyurse you won't, because you don't care about that. You want to impose your undocumented but extensive guessing (knowledge) upon the rest of us.
I repeat I am merely to end a problem so that we can begin working towards a working link system. One page for all to work from and a relatively neutral page which MOST of the time can be documented for changes. Undocumented knowledge is not helpful to anyone but the one with the undocumented knowledge, thus keep your undocumented knowledge where it rightfully belongs...in your local. Remember Rho I am as dependent upon your data as you are mine and i don't want your your knowledge when it is based only upon your say so.

No, I would never dare to change the parsing of a name in one of your or anybody else's profile without documentation in the contribution notes. I think, I have stated this on any possible occasion. | | | | Last edited: by RHo |

Skip Here I would use the wide spread contribution note without assuming that one of the credits or its parsing couldn't be obvious and would be disputed afterwards: Added cast and crew according to the film credits. |
