| Posted: | | | | I don't know who did it but I guess the "correction" was wrong.
In this movie there are playing several Native Americans and I got an update with a corrected (imo "wrong) parsing of at least two of them:
Before: Clayton - Big Eagle / Maretta - Big Crow After: Clayton - Big - Eagle / Maretta - Big - Crow
Is anybody out there knowing more about such names? I didn't accept the update of those two as they are definitely wrong in it. Writing their names the way starting with the name they would look:
Eagle, Clayton Big / Crow, Maretta Big
and this can't be true. Is it? |

| Posted: | | | | The parsing of any name will not change in your local database. It will only change in the database of the person submitting the new parsing. If you have Clayton/Big Eagle in your database, it will stay that way even if someone contributes Clayton/Big/Eagle. | | | My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT. FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that. Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it! |

| Posted: | | | | I believe the correct entry for Clayton Big Eagle is as follows: First Name: ClaytonLast Name: Big EagleRefer following links: • full name "Clayton Z. Big Eagle"• IMDB recordCould not find definitive information on Maretta Big Crow, but the usage of last names "Big Eagle" and "Big Crow" were made by: • Big Eagle (Dakota tribe in South Dakota) • Big Crow (Cheyenne tribe in Montana and Dakota tribe in South Dakota) where Dakota tribe = {Brule, Dakota, Hunkpapa, Lakota, Oglala, Sans Arc, Santee, Sioux, Sisseton, Wahpeton} as per reference: Surnames in English of Native American OriginBased on the last reference, I would have for Maretta Big Crow: First Name: MarettaLast Name: Big CrowHope that helps. |

| Posted: | | | | @huskersports: I knew that fact. This thread was only about if I am right with my way of parsing and by the confirmation of ObiKen I am right and the update was wrong.
@ObiKen: You just confirmed my presumption.
Shouldn't we start kind of schooling for contributors? Especially in the case of parsing there happen too many modifications from correct to wrong |

| Posted: | | | | The worst problem with cases like this is that the ones who do those false corrections most times don't read... |
