Ken did say if you can document the credit look-up tool is wrong you can go with your findings... but you must document that the look-up tool is indeed wrong to do so. He also said the best way to do so is to correct any wrong profiles in the database.

I have seen many people document the true most commonly credited by using a thread listing all the person's work and getting help from the community to verify what all the credits actually are. I would suggest doing that if you want to document that the look-up tool is wrong.


Sorry, maybe I was not very clear...

I have already checked the Moulin Rouge! credits, and in Moulin Rouge the credit is Rochelle Jones, OK?

If you analyze ICL results Rochelle Jones is credited in 2 titles (14 profiles) (only from Moulin Rouge!), and Rochelle G. Jones is credited in 10 titles (67 profiles) (50 from Moulin Rouge! and 17 from Staying Alive, and there are NO other titles), so, again, even if in Staying Alive appear the credit Rochelle G. Jones (I don't know), we can say that anyway the real results from ICL should be:
Rochelle Jones is credited in x titles (64 profiles)
Rochelle G. Jones is credited in y titles (17 profiles)

with x>>y

So I'll consider Rochelle Jones the common name.

Thank you

You people are making this too difficult. The facts are pretty simple: Mrs. Jones has TWO different credits in the entire Invelos database. She's credited in 'Moulin Rouge' as Rochelle Jones, and in 'Stayin' Alive' as Rochelle G. Jones. Since she has only two credits in our database, there is no such thing as "the most-credited form": she's credited with either variant once.

I've run into the same problem (two credits & two name variants, or for instance four credits & two name variants) about twenty times now, and there's no consensus on how to deal with this. Ken has never spoken out on the issue as well. I can say that I might favor Rochelle G. Jones simply because it's the most "complete" variant, but someone else, especially someone who only owns 'Moulin Rouge' and not 'Stayin' Alive', might very well choose to go the opposite way. Neither is more correct than the other, and as a result, chances that all her credits will get properly linked up using the same common name are pretty slim. I know Ken won't like to hear it, but he does really need to address this somehow.

However there are more editions of Moulin Rouge! dvd than Staying Alive, as shown in CL, so we can say that Rochelle Jones is most "common" than Rochelle G. Jones.
DVD Profiler is related to dvds, not films, and Credit Lookup was created for this reason (I suppose).

Well, I suppose something else...  As pointed out many times before: only Ken will be able to settle this. Until he does, different users will keep using different approaches to this.

There is still only TWO films (DVD's) regardless of the profiles, I don't think Hollywood would change all the credits at the end of a film because the credits where released on a Italian, French, Swedish, Finnish or (place the country of your choice here) release.

Another reason I don't always follow the "But they are credited in X Profiles" debates, they are all still the same film at the end of the day. I could produce just 1 movie and release it in 15 languages thus 15 profiles - but it would still be only 1 movie.

Again, we don't have to miss the point: DVD Profiler is a software for catalog DVD, not films.
Generally speaking I am agree that the "common name" of an actor is the most used in film credits, however in this case I must use another parameter, and the only one that I can use is the number of dvd editions.

Now re-read what I typed
"There is still only TWO films (DVD's) regardless of the profiles"

From what I have found on the net she has only done three film's

2003 - Just Deserts
2001 - Moulin Rouge
1983 - Stayin Alive

So if only two of those where released onto DVD or only two of those have been profiled into DVDP, each using one form of the name then using the CLT will not make a blind bit of difference, hence the need to look else where to obtain the information you require, which I believe is what T!M and I have been telling you.

But since you do not wish to listen, I think I will just leave you to work it out for yourself. I did tell you to find the person's own webpage, obviously you didn't.

Having just downloaded and viewed the 18 profiles that are in the DB for R2 "Staying Alive" - the cast lists are nearly all indentical for each and everyone of them - which to me seems like they were more than likely all copied from 1 first approved profile, which doesn't make them correct either.

If all 11 unverified credits go towards the same variant, this might change. The new filter will eliminate any of the comma-less Jr. variants from consideration since the program now "requires" them.

I took a look at the CLT results for Paul Smith and found that the correct results for the Paul Smith that also uses L as middle initial are 14/136. The other numbers are mostly from the 1929 Paul Smith, Paul J Smith the composer and Paul Smith the sound editor.

The numbers for Paul (L.) Smith are therefor 14/136 vs 55/133 in favor of Paul L. Smith, making Paul L. Smith the common name

You might want to remove Toru M. Tanaka Jr as one of Professor Toru Tanaka "Credited As" names as he is a different actor. Toru Tanaka Jr has been acting for the past 9 years but Professor Toru Tanaka died in 2000
