While using the Name Variants plugin to clean up some Japanese cast & crew errors, I also stumbled onto this one: John Bartley / John S. Bartley in the crew section.

I've noticed that even in the same set (Lost season 1 to name just one), he's sometimes credited as one and sometimes as the other. Obviously this is the same person. CLT came up with this:

"John Bartley" is credited in the following 151 titles (223 profiles)
"John S. Bartley" is credited in the following 186 titles (326 profiles)

Would I be allowed to change the credits where he is credited as "John Bartley", to "John S. Bartley, credited as: John Bartley"?

Just wanted to check here before I submit any profile changes online.

Yes! 

Thanks for the reply. Oooh boy, I have a lot of work ahead of me. This is just one example but I found quite a few of these issues. Any way (perhaps with a plugin) to batch edit this instead of doing it one credit at a time?

Yes, there is the goodguy's DVD Profiler Tool:
Name Variant plugin.
Quote:
Analyzes your cast & crew data to find similar names that most likely refer to the same person. Results are presented in an interactive report, where you can resolve name variants by choosing a common name, or exclude incorrectly associated names.

Thanks Kluge. Silly me. I used that very same tool to identify the name variants but didn't even realize I could also use it to resolve the matter. Well, I got my work cut out ...
