Don't forget:

Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr.=4/14 (note the lack of space after Lister)

This is his Fifth Element credit

Yet again a reason for a central Actors names DB with all listed AKA's

P.S. GreyHulk, I keep running into the same situation, but with several actors names.

What lack of space after Lister?  There IS a space there.

Tommy "Tiny" Lister (no "Jr.") is the common name. He is credited as Tommy here. I'm changing and submitting all the discs I own with him, so even though this was credited right I still hit the button and see the credited as was off.
This is supported by the credit lookup tool and his offical site: http://www.tommytinylister.com/
Of course the site in places calls him Tiny Lister, but T"T"L seems to be the most common (check the bio page) and I will get all his films linked, at least in my collection.

Agree,
Under biography on his site it says TOMMY "TINY" LISTER
What he calls him self.

I agree, but that isn't the common name on DVDProfiler. The rules state that we must use the common name on here.

Well the rules also says:  Use the "Credited As" field where the person's name differs from the credited name.

And who else can say wat the name he has than the actor himself?

The credits is what says what the name is .

Why is that so hard for some to understand?

Let's play a game. Pretend the Invelos database has zero profiles in it and you are profiling the very first title...lucky you . What do you do? Do you look at the film's credits and then go to the actor's web site, assuming he/she has one and enter that name as the Actor's name? Of course you don't. You enter the name as it is credited on screen. The next title you profile has the same actor in it but he/she is credited differently than the first title you profiled. What do you do now? Do you go to the Actor's web site, assuming he/she has one, and enter that name as the actor's name? Of course you don't. You should use the CLT to see how that actor is most commonly credited in the database. You see that the actor has 1 title/1 profile as John Doe but in the new title you're profiling he's credited as John E. Doe. Using the CLT you see that John E. Doe has 0 titles/0 profiles in the database. The proper thing to do now would be to enter the credit as John Doe [John E. Doe]. Simple, isn't it? Of course the commonly credited name could change over time as more John E. Doe credits are profiled but this is just something we have to live with with the current system.

Yes lets play then.

If he is credited Tom Leister in your first example and Tommy Leister in the next and Tiny Leister in the text thereafter...  how can you be shure this is the same person if you dont use an Third party database?  Such as the official sites from distrubutor or the actors own ones...

I stand by my posting on this, and 8ballMax the rules arent that clear on this as you like to "understand" it.

Unicus is exactly right... Ken was very clear when he settled this before. He even stated he wouldn't even take their autograph as proof... as it is the most commonly credited name he is after.
