No, polls are not Rules. And you MUST document any such changes. Making assumptions is incorrect, I doubt very seriously if you would speaking from any platform of expertise as i douibt that you have and first hand relationships with such personnel. All you would be doing is making an assumption which may or may NOT be accurate.

I just voted no to a bunch of the attempts to change Chow Yun-Fat's name.  Per the credit lookup, "Chow Yun-Fat" has 393 profiles, with "Chow Yun Fat" (no dash) another 51.  "Yun-Fat Chow" (which I've never seen him credited) has 136.  "Yun Fat Chow" has only 15.  If the user wants to change to a common name, it should be "Chow Yun-Fat".  The whole first/last name has no basis IMHO and should remain as credited (in this case, as well as most other Asian titles), which usually is family/given.

I'll not go so far as to single users, though it is tempting trust me. I AM absolutely FINISHED, no forum post , no Contributions, no NOTHING, the idiocy of this place is astounding. My data wii now be exclusively MY DATA. There will be a DVDVProfiler that WLIL be the most accurate databaseof its kind in the world, but it will not be Online, that courtesy of a bunch of idiots is an impossible dream, it will be right here in MY COMPUTER. Good bye and GOOD RIDDANCE.

I am sorry I wasted so much time trying help the single most ungrateful bunch of people it has ever been my displeasure to know.

Bye , now.

Hey Skip,

I thought you quit.  What are you doing here?

That's NOT what you said. You said:

The fact that you are still allowed to write on this forum just tells us that you are a joke and so is the reputation system. I can write this without any fear of consequences, because if I'll get some "bad bad boy" votes, it doesn't lead anywhere. Eather Ken has double standards what comes in your behaviour, or the sanction limit must be 1000 "no" votes and this forum doesn't have enough active people to give that many votes.

28 posts since you "left". About 5 each day. Perhaps you feel you must too much ???

I'm the one trying to fix a bunch of Chow Yun-Fat titles. (Firstname:Yun-Fat Lastname: Chow credited as Chow-Yun Fat) By the voting so far, it seems pretty much a toss up with slightly more 'no's at the moment. I'm still not sure if I should withdraw them and resubmit as Firstname: Chow Last-name: Yun-Fat which has the most entries in the db... Any feedback, any concensus..?

I still think the way I did it is the most logical correct one, it's also the way that is preferred in the poll

I would fix all your names in your local profile so that Surname = Last name, but don't contribute them to the global database at this time.

If the Lookup Tool is considered the holy Oracle, I will withdraw my current contributions, and re-submit the DVD profiles I own containing "Yun-Fat Chow", "Yun Fat Chow" "Chow Yun Fat" "Donald Chow" etc. as "Chow Yun-Fat" (Firstname+Latname) using the Lookup Tool as argument, If that is the way most of you guys feel it should be done.
