| Posted: | | | | Are we using her common name Jada Pinkett with 118 profiles or Jada Pinkett Smith her married name with 366 profiles. I assume the later although if they were to get divorced it would be Jada Pinkett and her awards are granted to Jada Pinkett. |

| Posted: | | | | You use the most common one according to the look-up tool. This was clarified by Ken not that long ago. So with those numbers it would be Jada Pinkett Smith.... at least until the numbers change enough to change it. | | | Pete |

| Posted: | | | | Pete is correct. Based on the numbers, you already have your answer. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. The Centauri learned this lesson once.

| Posted: | | | | well thats exactly my point if you look at this poll http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=117528 most would agree it should be Jada Pinkett, so why is it not common? |

| Posted: | | | | because... as I stated... Ken said to go by the look-up tool unless you can document that the look-up tool is not showing the correct most common as credited form of the name. This was his statement well after both polls. He made his decision and gave us the tool to use. Unless he changes his mind on this... that is how it must be done for the online database.
Polls do not effect the rules... they can only show Ken what the majority prefers... after that it is up to him to agree or disagree putting it into the rules. In the case of common names he decided to go a different way. | | | Pete |

That poll was pre-credit lookup tool. At that time, we didn't have any direction from Ken. As Pete said, Ken has now given us a tool and told us to use it. That trumps the poll. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
