I recently contributed a cast correction for a DVD, where the cast credits look like this:



In addition to correcting a typo in a cast member's name, I removed a group divider ("Deputies") from the cast list, and instead gave each cast member his individual "Deputy" credit, as seen in the actual cast credits. My changes were as follows:



However, I received a No vote with the following comment: "Group divider is correct as it stands." The No voter (who made the original contribution) claims he was following the contribution rules by adding the group divider.

What is the correct way to contribute this? The contribution rules say: "For any film with standard credits, take the actor information from the end credits only, with names and roles listed exactly as they are in the credits and in exactly the same order credited. " (bold types are mine)

Since we are supposed to mirror the film credits whenever possible, there should be no divider in this case since they are in fact individuallly credited.

The No voters are wrong. The group divider was wrong.

I've had to vote no on several contributions where people have inserted group dividers where there are none. Unless it explicitly states Deputies rather than three separate entries for Deputy we leave it as it is.

Agree with the others.
No "grouped cast" in credits, so no divider in DVDProfiler.

EDIT:
You may want to edit your contribution notes and provide a link to your screenshot to backup your contribution.

Thanks, I have done that now. I don't think it will change the mind of the No voter, though, as he was the one who made the original contribution, so he knows what the credits look like.

As others has said your contribution is right. I have fixed many of these myself... but never seen a no vote for doing so... not even from the original contributor.

What flick is that BTW?
I recognized a dog actor named Zeus from Rottweiler, but this isn't that by the human cast. IMDB says there many Zeus' in Hollywood.

The movie is called "It's in the Blood" and is a 2012 US production

I don't know if it would help any or not... but I would PM the no voter the link to this thread.

Agree with the others and besides the group divider name was misspelled.
