cowpie?!!!

Either stick to the rules, join the Rules Commitee and make your case, or butt out (without whining about it in these forums!     

Ahh..... honest, brutal and direct. Reminds me of a shot of whiskey.



Just for clarity, the above post was intended as a joke.

Just so we're clear, I grant Rick complete authority to speak for me.

Thanks Rick!

I didn't mention any specific entries, I merely stated my opinion regarding the consistent WHINING in these forums about "I want this, and I want that"....


So it's now WHINING to state what it is you want? There was no whining on my part.  I stated that I thought the rule no longer made sense.  I think I also referred to it as "stupid".  In fact I specifically stated that the rule shouldn't be thrown out.  I said that it might be time to revisit it.

See, here's how it works.  I threw that out there to see the responses.  Maybe there's no interest in changing the rule and maybe there is.  You don't know until you discuss the possibility.  Or "whine" about it if you prefer that terminology.  But the most important part is to get the input of everyone.

If there is an interest, then it should be moved to the contribution rules area for further discussion.  Depending on how that goes, you should next try to come up with a new rule, get people to agree on it, then hand it over to Ken for review.

I have no interest in hassling you at all.  I plan to completely ignore you.


Well - I can see I really pushed your buttons....     

As I stated previously; My response was not aimed at you in particular (although you taking that for granted proves you think highly of yourself).

Furthermore, if you had actually taken the time to read my post, you'd find that I merely (politely even) ask that you whiners (and I call you that because that's what you are) take your business to the correct forums...

You not caring about my opinion and wanting to ignore me just adds to the fact that you think of yourself in higher terms than you should...

And you've missed the point of Ken making the rules forum a request access one. Clearly he does not see the benefit of having the world and it's dog contributing to the rules. There's no reason issues cannot be raised here before being taken to the rules forum as necessary.

Based upon your post beldvd, what do you base that on.


I watch both shows 
plus:
http://www.usanetwork.com/series/thedeadzone/theshow/characterprofiles/deboer/bio.html

This is a little rediculous.  It's easy to say that there is one Nicole de Boer (deBoer) strictly through observation and watching the shows in which she appeared.  There should be no question that the same actress appeared in DS9 and The Dead Zone.  Comparing screen caps?  Are you questioning personal observation: the actress(es) look the same, sound the same, display the same mannerisms, have virtually the same name?

Okay so there is a basis for using Credited As, so now how do you determine which is the Common name.

Does it really matter?  Pick one and use it consistently.

Then make a common name contribution, that's what that feature is there for.  However you must first understand what the common name should be.  Because it only links DVD Profiler profiles it should be her most commonly credited as name, not a birth name or the name she may call herself personally.  So you will need to do some research and determine which name she goes by most often in her credits.

I'm not so sure the common name needs to be the most commonly credited as name (despite the field name: common name) as much as it must be used consistently.

I said most commonly credited as in the DVD profiler DB.  Is becuase if every contributor just picked a random name then there really isn't a common name.  Also, one can't expect to know what other contributors have already contributed as common names.

From what I understand reading Ken's previous statements on the usage of the common name was it should be the most commonly credited as name.  And that is what his online tool will allow us to see, once it comes out.
