Okay.
So if we're agreed that J./D./Dawodu is the way forward..
Do I still use 'Credited As' J.D. Dawodu or is this unnecessary?

I would just enter it J./D./Dawodu and not use the credited as Agreed. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | For what it's worth, IMHO yes the name should be J./D./D as the fullstop between initials normally indicate a break in the name.
I also thought the function & design behind the "Credited As" was to indicate when you have a known actor who uses more than one name in credits...ie Courtney Cox Arquette whose early work was credited as Courtney Cox...so would have the credit:-
Courtney Cox Arquette (Courtney Cox)
or am I the only person who sees it that way?

| | Posted: | | | | Since I'm not the only one who sees how the CLT should be used why are people trying to use it to determine how to Parse Names as that is one thing the CLT will not do (the way it is at this date (just incase Ken alters it to act differently later)).

For the record, even though the issue seems to have been settled, I am in agreement with hal's agreement...Forget's too. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Steve That would be a helpful alteration, that's for sure. Would stop the First/Middle/Last names getting confused with First//Middle Last if they are identically spelt. | | | | Last edited: by GreyHulk |

Skip Useful in DVDProfiler too... If you click on a name in the cast list on DVDProfiler, for arguments sake let's say Anthony//Wong Chau-Sang - it comes up with a list of movies with the actor 'Anthony Wong Chau-Sang' in it. Only problem is, if he has been credited as Anthony/Wong/Chau-Sang in any films then they won't come up, even though they should. This is another problem I'm trying to fix. So, as far as I can see, it would be a very helpful addition. |

J./D./Dawodu...unless proven otherwise. Another one supporting this... the CLT is inappropriate to use in this case as the J.D.// entries shouold never have been there in the first place, without proof, and going with somehitng against the Rules just because it's more common is not a good idea IMO! | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

| | Posted: | | | | I've added a new filter to standardize initials. It will operate to move the second initial to the middle name if there is no middle name entered. If a change is made that affects the displayed name, the Credited As field will be set, if not already set, and if not an uncredited member.
So:
J.D./Dawodu becomes J./D./Dawodu [J.D. Dawodu]
J D/Dawodu becomes J./D./Dawodu [J D Dawodu]
J. D./Dawodu becomes J./D./Dawodu
Not affected by this filter:
JD/Dawodu
J/Dawodu
