I'm going through some of my Hong Kong films correcting things when I can find them at the moment, and so far 'Yuen Woo Ping' does seem to be how he is most commonly credited. Even on the eary Hong Kong films he's credited as Yuen Woo Ping!

Based on Giga's post. It looks to me like you are simply making assumptions. Let's take one example from that list.

"Richard Salno" is credited in the following 5 titles (17 profiles):
"Richard Salano" is credited in the following 5 titles (11 profiles):

My qiestions would be

1) Is one of those names merely a user generated typo which needs to fixed? Such things do happen?
2) IF the above is not true, then How do you know Salno and Salano are the same person, or are you merely making an assumption. There is more to this than meets the eye and if you simpply make assumptions based on the CLT then you are settingthe stage for big-time mistakes.

1 yep, must be corrected.
2 cast or crewmember is doing the same job in the same time, and mostly credited in both version as the same role. , or check it on other sites like wikipedia etc
But you dont want any improvements in the DB, not everything can be proofed, but many things are obviously there

Would you first answer my question please ?

should I make an extra topic for that ?

you havent answered here me 2.nd post too, why not ?

But relative to xx/xxy, where did that information of yours come from. You see I deal only with data not imagination, and Giga provide NO INFORMATION which changes my question in any way. You bring in a bunch of garbage and don't even bother to explain what in the hell you are talking about or where it came from. It just magically appeared because you typed it.

No, its in the DB
For example:
the existing data is from IMDB, and to check the name with the CLT shows that the other name is credited in same Movies too, but I think you want to keep the IMDB data.

btw : Im only having 34 posts now, the rest is from the Profile contr. can I delete this postcount, I dont want that somebody think that I wrote more than 100 Posts here

Your PN was no answer, because you've said something other, and no answer to the question witch name to choose in the credits

Could you list the titles where you've confirmed his credit as Yuen Woo Ping?
That way, people who have some of the other titles can check them and not duplicate work. Hopefully if we get enough credits checked, we can find a proper "common name".

of the 31 profiles 28 are for Delta Force
the change contributed for this one credit is:
Gerry Weinstock as Dr. Jack > Jerry Weinstock [Gerry Weinstock] as Dr. Jack
and is not the correct one:

Gerry Weinstock as Dr. Jack is the credit for dvdprofiler for Delta Force profile.

But Jerry has moar
To determine whether to enter the name directly as credited, or to use the "Credited As" field, use the Credit Lookup tool.

@topic:
Yuen Woo Ping ist just a drop in the bucket, there are many more cast and crew members with the same problem

Because he is credited more as Jerry Weinstock than Gerry?


, but ther is only one Weinstock in the credits
