Must I do everything, for you nadja. I was able to procur documentation for your Alias. Now go find it. Here's a hint, try Google and look for the Skywalker site that is linked, then do a little probing.

Heck, I even got a new headshot out of it.

Is this an insiderjoke or something?
 
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Let me give details. This is a fine example of a user making an ASSUMPTION based on similar names, this time correctly, but did not provide ant documentation to support the assumption.

So I googled the name, it took about 5 minutes of rummaging around to find a logical conclusion.

The google led me to Skysound.com/Staff/Sound Supervisors, this yielded Gwendolyn Yates Whittle but nothing further relative to Young Indy.

So I look around and click on the tab marked Credits, there is a year pull down box, 1992 for Young Indy. Gooolllleee Sgt. Carter, there is Young Indy. Let's click on it and see what it says...Shazam it takes us to that other website listing for Young Indy where they list the appropriate credit. i think based on the direct link from SkySound to them, that we can reasonably conclude that Gwendolyn Yates=Gwendolyn Y.

Wasn't all that difficult.

So, let me understand, Skip. I make contributions including this common name, which everyone except you is able to accept. You probably don't disagree, but spy the opportunity to cast a negative vote. Following this, I supply the fact that there is NO other Gwendolyn Yates/Whittle/Yates-Whittle to be found in Hollywood. You, obviously monitoring the contributions (which is suspicious in and of itself) then decide to go do some research. You come to the same conclusion as me, but leave the negative votes standing. Then you come to the forums, and make a topic addressed specifically to me, slandering, bullying even, and yet agreeing.

Are you ever motivated by anything other than spite? Can't you see that the only person you ever damage with these threads is yourself?

It is not spite. Nadj, I have said this repeatedly. If you ASSUME that Name X=Name Y and do not provide documentation to support it. I will vote NO everytime. An dine day a user like you will assume that two similar names are the same person and it will be discovered that they are NOT, and the all of our work is questionable.

To not just you Nadja but to everyone. don't do half the work. Do it all and do it correctly or don't at at ALL....PLEASE. You just happen to be the target this time, next time it will be someone else. Earlier to day it WAS. If assume I am being spiteful then you are not as smart as I thought., which would be too bad. I look forward to seeing your corrected notes.

Now if you want to talk about spite, nadja, how abut if I post some your reamrks from Contribution Notes here for all to see. Of ourse I won't do that...ut do me a favor a nd keep your insulting remareks out of the forums. I don't want to vote Negative on them.

I'll happily post the remark I put in every note:

Quoting Nadja:
Quote:
If a certain someone can find any evidence of any other Gwendolyn Whittles in showbiz, do feel free to provide evidence.

As ever, I would put it to you to explain where the insult lies in the perfectly civili opportunity to make a liar of me, so to speak. Given that you chose not to to take advantage of this opportunity, indeed qualified the exact opposite, exactly what is the problem?

How can you say that, given the very existence of this thread?

Truth be known, the Rules do not actually require documentation for linking, just that you must use the look-up tool to establish the "common name".

Not saying it's not a good idea...just that it is not actually required in the Rules.

Why is a conversation between the 2 of you (Skip/Nadja) dragged in the forums?
It's like washing your laundry in public.

Seems you both agree anyway?

Well, yes, you must use the look-up tool to establish the "common name" when the same actor is sometimes credited as -let's say- "Bob",  sometimes as "Robert",  sometimes as "R.", sometimes as "Bobby"!
But how do you know that that "Bob" is the same person as "Robert" and "R." and "Bobby" in the first place?
The Rule doesn't expressly say, but it seems to me that Contribution Rules do require us to document whatever we assume on Cast and Crew members, so it would seem reasonable to provide some kind of source reference for linking. Even an IMDb reference would be better than nothing

Not to start a new fight or anything, but are you kidding with this? You brought this to the forums.  It could easily have been handled via PM or via a contribution vote.  Your initial post comes across as an attempt to embarass Nadja.  Pot, meet Kettle.

There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
