Hm, the data I enter into the imdb sometimes are direktly from the movie-credits. But imdb has anyawy a copyright on it, because I accepted this in their ToU. Since IMDb "normalizes" names, it is impossible in many cases to enter the credits "direktly from the movie-credits". | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

But you're right in that they don't record the difference between, say, Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Downey, Jr. or between J.K. Simmons and J. K. Simmons. Try as I might though, I can't bring myself to seeing that as a bad thing, especially looking at our database which contains separate, non-linking entries for either variant. |

And you are entitlerd to that view, Tim. others of us do see a very big problem with it. I don't comprehend yor desire to use parent Profiles for TV with huge amounts of data either, Tim, but its allowed. I don't use it, I won't use it.<shrugs> Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!
