The third one NO, that may be making a change from the ACTUAL credited studio.

The other two auto-corrections apparently run no risk whatsoever of "making a change from the ACTUAL credited studio"? I happen to know for a fact that this isn't true, so I'm bemused by the fact that you approve of one but oppose the other. There's just not a shred of logic there.

you were implying above that "use the correct studio" in the original context actually meant to use "as credited".  It did not.

Indeed it didn't. Never did. Again, if we were to track studios "as credited", the rules could have easily said so. They don't.

20thHE versus Twentieth can be argued on various bases both of which are as credited...no harm no foul

Warner brothers or warner bros to a default i will agree with you, that too should NOT be done.

Of course, you don't, hal. But you are making statements of fact that you can't back up, because that thread was neither developed nor maintained by YOU. It was by ME, you lack the telepathic skills to tell me what my intent was.

Uhhhh......since the Rules specifically stated what the purpose of the thread was, why would I need telepathy to understand it?

With any Studio it is possible to have more production Studios involved, such as Castle Rock Entertainment, Silver Screen Partners, etc. IF these are present use them in order of appearance on the Cover of preferably the film credits. If there are any spaces left over then enter DVD Distribution unit.

This is inteneded to be an informational/educational thread not a discussion thread.

As always if anyone would like to ask me a question or seek my assistance don't hesitate to send me a PM.

I wrote the bold and that did not mean to substitute for ACTUAL data.

And to quote the Rules:

Quote:
There is further information about correct names for studios, and the opportunity to ask questions if unsure, in the Contributions forum.


If we were to enter "as credited", what was the need for such a Rule or such a thread?

Good news: you can! In your local database, you can do whatever you want. Great, isn't it?

Oh really, you didn't see what I saw within the last 24 hours, amigo.

Keeping my data local is something i have been practicing for a long time, tim. And, sadly, I have no plans to resume Contributing anytime soon. i have had enough of the nonsensical arguments and whatever.So my data stays where it is, except those that i share it with.
