| Posted: | | | | So, that's my problem. I've submitted a full profile for THE DEPARTED - 3 DISC COLLECTION EDITION - R2 ITALY. My contribution was declined for this reason: Please use birth years only to distinguish between otherwise identical cast and crew. New birth year submissions must be documented. I've discovered that the names of the actors, that contains the years of birth was already in the database in which way (infact the 2 disc edition has tha same problem, but for an unexplaniable reason was accepted in this wrong way !!!). So, is there a way to remove from the actor profile the year of birth, otherwise report this to "Invelos Crew" ? Thank's in advance. |

| Posted: | | | | If you didn't put the actor's birth years in there yourself all you have to do is let them know that... Rules Quote: Quote: Crew and Cast Take Crew Credits from the film credits only; list names exactly as they are in the credits. Exception: If the credit information is entirely capitalized, use standard capitalization rules instead.
Use the "As Credited" field where the person's name differs from the credited name.
Do not enter union/guild affiliations, such as A.C.E. and B.O.E.
Enter birth years only when necessary to differentate between two actors with the same name. When submitting a contribution that adds a birth year to one or more credits, list justification in the contribution notes.
If the birth year change is due to an accepted change to another profile, indicate that.
Cast and crew images are not contributed with the profile.
Group names of crew members together within each role available and list in exactly the same order credited. The table below gives each of the crew roles available within DVD Profiler. For each category, include only those people credited with the roles listed in the "Film Credits to Include" column. If someone is not credited with one of these roles, do not include them in the Crew section. See the line I put in bold. | | | Pete |

| Posted: | | | | If you've loaded the Headshots database that's being built up, this will be where the actor's birth years have come from.
I also had the same problem, and the only thing I could do to fix the problem was to do a database repair to get rid of most of the actors, and then go through manually and remove the date of birth

| Posted: | | | | In the local db I had Peter Himmelman as Composer but when contributed to the on-line db, it changed & automatically added the Birth Year to the composer.
Also I refreshed my local db with a accepted contribution and the actor had no BY, I made a small change & re-submitted it to the on-line db and again a BY was automatically inserted...
No, I have not done the head-shot upload & in both cases the BY is not in my local db.
Could this be a new feature...? | | | Last edited: by mlr |

| Posted: | | | | What this amount to is some ummmmmmm bdy decided to change ONE single BY, instead of BOTH without thinking about the ramifications that data would have throught the database. What do you expect from a bunch of very rank amateurs rushing to get the gold out of them thar hills? Cynical...yep, jaded....yep and with good cause. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!
