| | Posted: | | | | Making this post as the "No" box is too short! There's a contribution up for the above title with the following notes - Quote:
"*Updated Notes*
Added: Media Companies,Features,Crew
Updated: Cast
Sources: From the DVD and Covers.
Notes to anybody who is blind: Trivia track is already in subtitles.Uncredited should be removed if you don't have documentation on file where they are with timestamp etc. My reasons for saying "No" to it are as follows - They're adding two lots of credited as without anything to back up the necessity to use it. In fact, I've just had a look at them and for one of them "Sophie Carbonell [Sophie de Rakoff Carbonell]", there are NO profiles in the database for Sophie Carbonell. Zero, zip, zilch, nada. Removing the special feature of "Trivia Track" from the other now giving the above reason. Looking at this thread from last year and this part of the rules, it should be included as a feature - Quote:
Examples of valid Other Features:
* Trivia Tracks Removing Uncredited Cast giving the reason that they aren't documented. I was under the impression that documenting uncredited cast was a relatively new change. The DVD was added in March 2007. As a result, I'm currently of the opinion that removal requires the same documentation as adding them does. Thoughts/comments welcome  |

| | Posted: | | | | That's actually one bit I would be ok with. If a role was required the software could be configured to force you to enter one like the first name field. |

| | Posted: | | | | Except that there isn't everywhere you can find roles (old tv shows and movies for example), so it can't be required by the software But fair enough. Nothing wrong with disagreeing | | |

| | Posted: | | | | I would also vot no to this profile for several reasons...
Undocumented use of the 'credited as' feature.
Improper use of dividers. Those are group roles, not seperate cast lists.
Undocumented removal of uncredited cast.
In addition, while roles are not required, if they are in the profile already, they should not be removed. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

If I had the title in my owned or wishlist I'd vote NO, too, but I don't believe in adding a title just to be able to vote on int. I'm not against voting on things that are in my wishlist on principal, but I think adding a title just to vote on it violates the spirit if not the letter of the voting process. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)

Edit: It was declined & resubmitted - Link Just had a look at your "Link" FtR, and must say we've had problems in the past over this. Would also say the the ruling regarding Removal of Uncredited cast is that once in the remover has to provide documentation for its removal, as per instructions in the forum threads by either Ken or Gerri (can't remember which one off the top of my head) unless it could be proved they are a direct copy from a third party DB.
