If this is what you mean: Cast/OMB:

Cast: Richard Todd as Wing Commander Guy Gibson, V.C., D.S.O., D.F.C. (opening- and end credits)

Crew: Based on Wing Comdr. Gibson's own account in "Enemy Coast Ahead".

"If an actor is credited by name but does not have an associated role, you may use the film itself, or another source to identify the role. However, mass copy from a third party commercial database which violates their stated usage license is not allowed. In each case, list Actor’s names and roles (when given) exactly as they are in the credits and in exactly the same order credited."

We are not talking about an actor's name but the ROLE that he played. Dam Busters like many (if not most) films of the era; did not include Roles in the credit listings. The Rules specify how these can be dealt with, unfortunately  this also presents a situation where the Roles may vary based upon sources, modification of data, etc. This does not seem a big deal to me. Is there some reason why this is being presented  as a problem, surely we aren't going to be searching (or filtering) on roles and since any kind of searching has thuis far been totally irrelevant relative to the Online; what difference is it if the one you OWN has the role listed as Guy Gibson and the one someone else has is listed as Wing Comdr. Gibson. There are also instances just as with Actors, that roles may very from one version of locality of a film to the next, this is something to worry about, we need to stop fo;;iowing the film credits now and start following some arcane Rule about both name and roles being universally identical...REGARDLESS of what the credits OR the Rules may have to say.

I am talking about his crew credits (thought I'd made that obvious by including the CLT results in my original post) the whole point of this post IS to get the people who have the Guy Gibson profiles to check the ACTUAL credits to see if they are correct?

Railroaded:

You missed it. It is very uncommon for films of that error to have what we refer to as Standard Credits...Actors + Roles.  Twas far more common place ti have , some form of Cart list, sometimes, fron, sometimes back, sometimes both, but without ROLES. Roles back in those days were not really uncommon or unheard of  as part of the credits, but they were distinctly less common than the listings without  Roles.

Good lord it would be nice if just for once, instead of being attacked or sometjhing, someone would actually comprehend what I type. I may be smarter than the average bear....but not all that smart.

The Dam Busters 1954 7-321900-380867

which you list twice:

he is credited as Wing Commander Guy Gibson, V.C., D.S.O., D.F.C.

not Wing Cmdr and not VC, DSO, DFC

This is the disc ID 8C8E-0E47-CE21-09A7

Note also all the other decorations and knighthoods have '.' separators and Barnes Wallis is actually credite as Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S. and Barnes is not spelled out.

Looks like this one needs a thorough checking out as abbreviations have been introduced from ages ago when the name field was too short and also errors generally crept in.

Well, that matches my information. So everything's OK now

Now I know that you're going to perceive this post as a personal attack, but I assure you that I'm only giving you some constructive criticism.

If you feel that everyone here misinterprets what you are typing, it might be that you fail to preview your posts before hitting the submit tab.

In your post which I have quoted above, I highlighted in bold type the mistakes made in spelling. 

Also, grammatically this sentence...

Twas far more common place ti have , some form of Cart list, sometimes, fron, sometimes back, sometimes both, but without ROLES.

...should read...

T'was far more commonplace to have some form of Cart list; sometimes front, sometimes back or both (without Roles).

You can't blame people for not understanding what you write, when said people have to re-read a post two or three times to decipher it.

If you are going to criticize someone, for the errors in their post, you better be darned sure you didn't make any yourself.  We deal with cast lists, not cart lists.  I don't even know what a cart list might be. 

Ask Skip, it is from his post.

Be that as it may, this question is about a crew credit, not a cast credit.
