Not odd at all. For example, where does one go to get role names for cast members for TV series where no roles are given? IMDb and other sites . | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

| Posted: | | | | I do believe that "The Ken"'s view on removing 'uncredited cast' was that if it could be proved to be a direct copy of IMDb that was documentation enough to remove them.
So since it appears a direct copy I would vote Yes to remove.

| Posted: | | | | What does previous notes say? If it says only New Contribution, and there's no documentation of uncredited cast in previous, I would remove them. I do that sometimes, I check previous notes, and add that in my notes when I remove uncredited cast, when previous only say new contribution. Sometimes notes says that it's taken from allready approved version (12345...etc) I check that profile too to see the notes on that if they are documented. If they are documented there, I leave them in my profile, and sat that in my notes that UC is documented from 14253...etc. | | | "What's God?"

| Posted: | | | | Good Question: The Contribution Notes: Posted: May 18, 2007 6:29 PM:New ContributionPosted: June 10, 2007 5:10 PM:Added country of origin. Added DVD distributor 'Paradiso Home Entertainment'. Added easter egg. Minor corrections to overview (e.g. "hans" to "Hands") to match back cover EXACTLY. Measured aspect ratio to be 2.40:1. Verified, using PowerDVD, actual running time to be 86 minutes.Posted: June 13, 2007 8:53 AMCrew: added sound credits, art directors, original characters by - all taken straight from film credits. Corrected producer's name Jan Stern to Jay Stern (as credited).Posted: June 19, 2007 9:37 AMCorrected cast exactly as credited - taken from actual credits - resulting in shorter role names. For instance, Jackie Chan is credited simply as "Lee", not as "Chief Inspector Lee", and so on... Expanded disc ID.Posted: September 3, 2007 9:37 PMAdded missing commentary audio track. Added missing features. Added my disc ID.Posted: September 8, 2007 11:08 AMAdded missing feature.Posted: March 18, 2008 2:02 PMThe current profile contains a producer entry for "Arthur M. Sarkissian, credited as Arthur Sarkissian". Further research has shown me that I don't own a single title in which he's actually credited with that alledged middle initial - instead, he's credited simply as Arthur Sarkissian every single time, like he is here. A search in Invelos' own "credit lookup" tool confirms my suspicions:Arthur Sarkissian: 69 entries,Arthur M. Sarkissian: 41 entries (including many incorrect 'Rush Hour' entries).Anyway, this means that for DVD Profiler purposes, "Arthur Sarkissian" is his common name, and as such, he can simply be entered "as credited" in this particular profile.Posted: June 15, 2008 11:22 PMImproved the covers----------------------------- Got one Vote on this profile: : There's no reason to remove the perfectly valid (uncredited) cast: the list is CERTAINLY NOT identical to IMDb or any other 3rd party source! ----------------------------- | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.

| Posted: | | | | For the record: I notice that your update also introduces a new parsing error - you've used Lisa/Lo/Cicero. AFAIK, "Lo" is part of her last name, not a middle name - it's comparable to "Le" or "La". Sources that confirm this are Wikipedia ("When the series was spun-off as The City, Lo Cicero went with the show") or her official demo reel at ReelAccess, which shows her (not only on the page, but also in the reel itself) as Lisa LoCicero, without the space. Now the "common" variant may well be the one WITH the space, but it's still a pretty good sign that "Lo" belongs in the "last name" field. | | | Last edited: by T!M |

Quote: Corrected cast exactly as credited It has the correct value in the "credited as" field. It was entered as "Lisa LoCicero [Lisa Lo Cicero]", which I can only assume was fully supported by the CLT results when it was entered as such. Now that the CLT balance has shifted away from the IMDb-name (judging by the ReelAccess-clip, her real name), there is indeed no longer need to use the "common name". She seems to be mostly credited with the space, so she can simply be entered "as credited". So I'm with you all the way up until that point. But you didn't just do that; you also made the unexplained and incorrect change to move "Lo" to the middle name field - and that's where we part ways. I agree that she should be entered as "Lisa Lo Cicero", but it should be parsed as Lisa//Lo Cicero. |

| Posted: | | | | but Quote: it should be parsed as Lisa//Lo Cicero others will say Lisa/Lo/Cicero I have no idea or confirmation that it would be handled differently for DVD Profiler 1/2/3. Quote: it's comparable to "Le" or "La". French, I believe. The only information available to me: LeLaLo and Quote: Lisa Lo Cicero (born April 18, 1970) is an American actress | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.
