I've seen much worse... by far... Still it's funny to the extreme. Should give those guys that support the unverified copying of "accepted" data something to think. This will keep me grinning for the rest of the day. Thanks Tim  EDIT: How would we parse this MakeUp-Artist?? To / Mr. / Hanks To / / Mr. Hanks To Mr. Hanks //  | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | This is obviously an error by somebody who had not understood the meaning. Errors may easily be forgiven, as this contributor, even if he made a mistake, tried to help others. It's much more difficult to understand why people introduce incorrect data in the database , knowing they are incorrect. | | | | Images from movies |

Of course you are correct, the funny thing isn't the one user who accidentally (or because he/she didn't know better) introduced this error. But the three other users who obviously copied this incorrect data and didn't countercheck. BTW: it would be interesting to see a screenshot of the actual credit. I'd really like to know how this could have happened. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

BTW: it would be interesting to see a screenshot of the actual credit. I'd really like to know how this could have happened. I'm guessing the actual credit is something like 'Make-up Artist to Mr. Hanks'. I've seen similar in other films. It should be just Make-up Artist. |

| | Posted: | | | | Cinema: Then someone(s) incorrectly applied "To Mr. Hanks" The Credit is " Makeup Artist to Mr. Hanks", adding "To Mr. Hanks" in the Custom Role position simply eliminates the Make-up Artist standard credit.  Using custom credits is a fine idea ....when applied correctly. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | Aside from the obvious error of typing the custom crew role into the "credited as" field, it's also important to note that the credit is under an "Additional Unit" header. Per Gerri Cole ( link), we don't do unit crew. So the credit really shouldn't be there at all - it doesn't need to be corrected, but it simply needs to be removed. | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

So does someone remove it or should me do this? |
