T. J. Miller
these are incorrect. They are not the common names. They are auto-filter names of the real common names of T.J. Cross & T.J. Miller. |

T. J. Cross
T. J. Miller
these are incorrect. They are not the common names. They are auto-filter names of the real common names of T.J. Cross & T.J. Miller. What's the difference? - This is the name, they can be found in the data base with. In theese examples, the auto corrected variant of the name is never used as credit, which makes makes me understand, why you see a difference. But in most cases both, the auto corrected and the standard variation of the name is used as credit. To determine the "name for the data base" we sum up all variants that end up in the same auto corrected string; which one should be clained as "common name" in such cases? - eg. how should John M. Watson, Sr. be listed? | | | | Complete list of Common Names • A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1) |

| | Posted: | | | | T. J. Miller and T. J. Cross have never been a credit in their films/TV shows as of yet. The only reason they are in the database is because of the auto-filter. You can look them up in the CLT and if there are any titles listed under either of the 2 names, they are incorrect.
There is no way a variation that has never been in a film can be the most credited variation of an actors name, which is the common name.
I don't have any auto-filtered names in my personal DB. And when I contribute I don't have the auto-filters in the profile. I use the common names. |

You can look them up in the CLT and if there are any titles listed under either of the 2 names, they are incorrect. I've seen this - in theese cases you are correct. But theese cases are not the only one. You completely ignored the John M. Watson example... Quote:

This ist the crux of the matter: which name do I list and how can we call it. You set up a definition here: Most credited Variant = Common Name From my point of view, the name of the string is not important. What is important to me? - Getting the correct string for the data base! Quote:

| | Posted: | | | | I guess your list is Common Name/Auto-filter Name. And there are several on the list that are incorrect.
the common name is John Watson, Sr. - The auto filter is something that we can't control. The rules say to use the most credited variation. Not to add a variation that is auto filtered to an actual credited variation.
99 out of 100 may think that is how it should be done, but it's still outside the rules and not correct.
I've already had this discussion on many common name threads involving initials or Jr./Sr. names , not going to change my mind, unless there is a rule change.
I don't download cast and crew from the database without checking if there are common names, and if they are correct. And I don't download auto-filters. | | | | Last edited: by ateo357 |

I guess your list is Common Name/Auto-filter Name. Yes, I'm a rather technical guy; so I'm listing the name which ends in the data base. Quote:
And there are several on the list that are incorrect. If there are really wrong entries, I'm really interested in correcting them. If there are names which are under discussion, then I try to understand the motivation of the discussion (as with this small argument here) and decide then to either remove the proposal for the "common name" or let it as is (everyone can check the threads himself to find the truth, which is necessary for all of the tied and many open threads).

Checking is necessary - I learned that on the hard way - but not reimporting auto filtered names causes a lot of work, which imho is not really necessary, since the credited as name is kept intact anyways. ps. The name used for my links is retrieved by myself following theese aspects (more or less  - maybe I'm forgetting something or special cases need special treatment) a) if the thread is conclusive, I use the common name (or at least the name variant which should end up in the online data base). b) if the thread is open, I take a look at the following criterias: - is there a comfortable majority for one name variant - is the current majority against the IMDB name (this hardens the majority) - are there many cross overs between name variants in the CLT (this lowers the stability) - are there TV shows missing to be confirmed (they have a very large impact on CLT and common names) c) if a thread is on a tie, the following criterias make the name proposal - if the thread was conclusive before the tie, I keep the previously conclusive name - if the CLT is somewhat reliable (little cross overs between the names, little TV series, etc.) I use it Anyways, if I can't see a solid tendency to one or the other name, I leave the name field blank, which ends up in "not decided yet" - as all entries in the "new thread post" show... On the other hand, I'm a little bit more aggressive in calling a name, if the resulting names need BYs to get unique. In theese cases I really try to get any confirmation available: Downloading the features, PMs to owners of the feature (who created the profile), etc. In this cases the common name thread(s) is often only a utility to get more information for the documentation of a BY... | | | | Complete list of Common Names • A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1) |

Looking for Samantha Janus / Samantha Womack and the search engine isn't the best. This is the master list. For everyone else the CLT is to be referenced, which tells currently: Samantha Womack 5 titles, 49 profiles Samantha Janus 44 titles, 53 profiles Though this is blatantly wrong because of invalid TV series count, it is clear enough to tell, Samantha Janus is the more often used variant. | | | | Complete list of Common Names • A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1) |
