I ask for advice on the following problem.

I was intending to update, expand and correct details of the entry for "Angela" (EAN: 5060034570721), but have a problem with one producer's name.  The current Invelos entry credits "Rita Cecchi Gori" - which is her married name.
However, details on various web-sites, e.g.:
http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117789423.html?categoryid=19&cs=1
indicate that at the time of the film's production, in 2002, she had separated from her husband, Italian media kingpin Vittorio Cecchi Gori, during 2000, and was reusing her maiden name of "Rita Rusic".
The film's end credits actually state: "prodotto da Lierka e Rita Rusic" (produced by Lierka and Rita Rusic), so the current database entry doesn't match the end credits.

Using the Invelos 'Credit Lookup', there is another entry for Angela (Australian release, 2002 under UPC: 9-321337-037851).  This correctly credits "Rita Rusic" as producer, along with 15 other titles. 
The lookup also credits "Rita Cecchi Gori" with 24 titles, including (perhaps incorrectly) one released in 2005 (after her separation).

So there are three questions:
1) What do you do with a woman with credits, before marriage (in maiden name), after marriage (in married name), and then after separation (maiden name reused)?
2) Should one correct existing entries where the incorrect name has been used for a film produced at a particular date, or should the 'Credited as' field be used?
3) If 'Credited as' is used, should it be:
whilst single: "Rita Rusic"
whilst married: "Rita Rusic", credited as: "Rita Cecchi Gori"
after separation: "Rita Rusic"
or ...., or.....
Oh, dear my head hurts.

.... Can we just call her "Rita" -  PLEASE, PLEASE!!

Thanks NorthBloke!
I didn't use IMDb as a reference, since I thought that was the devil's site   The couple of lookup I made there in the past were badly flawed.

Unfortunately, I don't think some of my separated/divorced women friends would be too happy with the sugestion of their credits remaining under or being awarded to their married names .  But, in many cases, I think the decision should be based upon what came first, rather than the quantity under a specific name - in other words treating the married name as an alias - particularly when after divorce the maiden name is reused for further work.

However, I'm confused by your argument.  Unless I'm mistaken, possible, the IMDb has the main entry under "Rita Rusic" with an 'alternate names' entry of "Rita Cecchi Gori"  But I don't wish to suggest that "the devil" is correct!

In this instance it would really be a mammoth task to review each of her films to determine correct production dates and credits.  BUT, if based upon quanity under a specific name, what happens once her future (maiden name) credits exceed married ones?  Do we then go back and change previous entries?

Unfortunately, I think this is turning out to be another, "do what you want in your local database, but don't contribute that profile" answer. 

At the moment the way we've been told to define the "common name" (the one we use for the database) is to use the name that's most commonly credited - irrespective of whether that name is still in use or not. Personally, I didn't agree with that, but Ken made his decision so that's what we go with.

It does mean however that you're right - at the moment the common name is Rita Cecchi Gori, but at some point in the future Rita Rusic may have more credits in which case that becomes the common name! What we do then, I don't know! 

I've been looking at all the credits in the CLT (yes it's that slow at work), and it does look like a lot of them are wrong - but it's mostly the Rita Rusic ones that are wrong.
If you follow the basic timeline and compare it to IMDB (you're right, not the best source but this is only for argument's sake) you find that she only has three Rita Rusic credits in Profiler: Angela, Attila Flagello Di Dio and Il Pentito.
All the rest are probably Rita Cecchi Gori credits. So by my calculations she has to produce or act in 21 more titles before we have to worry about the situation you mention!
I'm hoping that by the time we get there, a way will have been worked out where we can change common names en masse rather than profile by profile.

PS. I also noticed that some of the Rita Cecchi Gori entries are also parsed wrong. It should be Rita//Cecchi Gori but some profiles have Cecchi as a middle name.

Using the Credited As system, I hope. Don't change the On Screen credit.
