I have been seeing "Written Excerpts By" recently and was wondering if this designation would be allowed by the rules.

I think it depends on the context - could you give us the surrounding credits and a film name as an example?

What he said.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Stargate: Atlantis : Season 1 the episode "Letters from Pegasus" has a lot of "excerpts written by" in the end credits

In that context I wouldn't add them.
I'm guessing the excerpts they wrote were clips from previous episodes, in which case they got their proper writing credit then. They had nothing to do with the writing of this episode, so I wouldn't include them.

Yeah, I'm assuming that there were a bunch of formal writing credits at the front end, so those excerpts would be best left out.

I agree with north and mdnitoil.
