Here's a specific one that pops up a lot:

Based upon "Star Trek" Created by

I personally prefer "Created by" because the credit is more expansive than just characters, but encompasses an entire alternate universe.


The problem is that there is very often another person credited with "Created By" in these instances.

I do not believe they should get the same credit in DVDP.  That would be a corruption of the data, IMHO.

Personally, I think a "Based on "Star Trek" created by Gene Roddenberry" should get an OMB credit.  I view it as similar to a "Based on an Idea by..." or "Based on a concept by...", both of which would get OMB credits.

               

And further, I have NEVER seen what you are claiming, NOT ONCE, let alon your claim of often.

I don't currently have access to my local db, but when i get home, I'll be happy to provide you with examples.

In the meantime, are you telling me that Gene Roddenberry should get a "Created By" credit for "Star Trek: Enterprise" when the man was long dead before it was produced?????

Did he telepathically transmit this idea to the producers from the great beyond?

Based on James' list, the following credits should be added to the chart:

Adapted by
Adapted from the [anything] by
Book of the Musical by
Book of the Musical Play by
From a [anything] by
Story Adaptation

Does that sound about right?  I wasn't sure how to do 'book'.

Agreed.  Roddenberry created Star Trek, the original TV series.  Everything else was based on that.  The Profiler credit of 'Created by' should be reserved for a credit of 'Created by' only.

If the filmmakers believe that it is worthy of an onscreen credit, who am I to argue?  The only category it could possibly belong in would be OMB, IMHO.

I haven't seen a credit of 'Concept by'.  I have seen, 'Based on the Concept by', but that would be covered by the current "Based on [anything] By" credit.

I seem to recall having seen it at least once, but couldn't possibly remember where.

While we're building a list, we might as well include everything.....just in case!!!!

Agree as well.  The credit says GR created "Star Trek," not Star Trek Enterprise.  GR clearly did not create Enterprise.

He most certainly should not. It's OMB.

In my personnel opinion this would one, on that also a OCB would be possible.

This is just my personnel understanding of these two credits:
OCB: Someone that wrote/had the idea of the original charactes, universe, ...
OMB: This one has to do something more: Some kind of idea of the whole story, ...
