I don't want to hear COMMON SENSE from this bunch any more from anybody, not as long as everybody refuses to display any. Also as I have noted Common Sense is purely subjective based on upbringing, personal environment and several other factors, in short your definition of what you believe is Common sense may not match mine or Tim's or anybody else, but to YOU it would be legitimate Common Sense.

IMHO "common sense" is the sense of this community - not your personal opinion or preference.

If I'm wrong with that, we should rename the database - then it's not a "user driven DVDP database" but "Skips personal database".

I'm quite disappointed, that you try to define your opinion as common sense and blame everyone who does not follow your preferences to be outside the common sense...

LOL, Ai, you will never see my personal database...but nice try

@ AA: LOL, I know what you mean, but most of the necessary info is near the beginning. Good luck on those profiles.
I've also taken your suggestion and started a poll to see if we can come to a concensus about parsing unfamiliar names.

What you CONSIDER is totally irrelevant. Maybe you nbeed to do some work OUTSIDE of your own narrow minded cultural view of names.


Then don't call it "Middle Name". Calling it Middle Name, you are referring to your own cultural view of names. 

Even the choice of *three* fields instead of two (or four!!) is the expression of a certain cultural view of names.


BTW, how would you parse Mary Jane H. Taylor, and why?

But I'll try to update the german profiles to Helena//Bonham Carter; I'll see what happens...

Three of my profiles (1 Switzerland, 1 Germany, 1 US) list Helena//Bonham Carter and only one (UK) shows Helen/Bonham/Carter.

The fields are labelled "first name", "last name", and "middle name". Nowhere in the rules is word counting supported.

This profiles cast list was last edited Apr 7 2005  at the old IVS site by a well known UK user who actually has supported Helena//Bonham Carter several times in this forum. I've corrected this small glitch now.

Bonham has been documented.

Where? - Can we move that on to "common name thread"?

As long as there is no name variant of this actress, there is no need for a common name. Different parsing of the same name can't be linked with the common name mechanism because the "credited as" field is a single field only. Documentation of "Helena//Bonham Carter" can be found is this forum as well as in the old IVS forum. Just type "Bonham" into the search field.

I've to disagree - at least a little bit ;-)

When I double click on an actors name, I get a list of his/her apperances. An as long as we have two different parsings of her name, as long I don't get the full listing...

I agree, that this is not a case for "credited as" but it is a case for a "common name" in database thinking...
