Seriously: it's good to see the poll results indicating that there's some common sense left among the users.

3 to 1.  Sounds like consensus to me!

I gotta say, thanks to this thread I fixed that retarded Star Wars credit in my local profile.  It probably would have been a while before I stumbled across that one on my own. 

And how did you fixed that Jabba the Hutt credit?

Locally I reversed it.  I had Himself acting in both Star Wars and The Replacements.  Reversed the entries in both cases.  Now Jabba has only one film credit and Himself has none.  Thank goodness for cast filtering.

Don't worry type A's, I won't submit it. 

I chose to do Jabba the Hutt// as Himself locally.

Primarily because it makes sense to me.  If I cared about trying to fix the credit lookup tool, I would have gone ahead and submitted this.  My understanding was that the credit lookup tool weighed the "credited as" form, not the base form.  If that's the case, doing a Jabba the Hutt// [Himself] just adds another bogus "credited as" entry for this non-existent person, Himself.  Not particularly useful considering that "actor" has 3 pages of credits.

Since I don't bother with the credit lookup tool, it doesn't matter to me how credits appear in the online.

The some of us have given up on polls, we get tired of covering the same ground over and over and over repetitively. So i would hardly grant a consensus or even what tim called common sense, in fact I would call it exactly the opposite of common sense.

So you prefer it to be "Craig Kilborn [credited as: Himself] - Craig Kilborn"?

To get the best results you have to be as clear as possible and neutral. It will also help if you make the order of the answers random, because if you put the answer you would like first one could choose the other answers if they do not like you. Giving your opinion in the thread if you made the poll could also have that same effect.

Call ME stupid, but I think it should be "Craig Kilborn - Craig Kilborn."

Not about to call you stupid, but this option is most definitely against the Rules, as it is not "exactly as credited".
