Brilliant It doesn't fix the ABCs of Death one, but sounds like the simplified rule needs a further point explaining it doesn't apply to abbreviations. If the automated conversion tool used on submission uses the same functionality then it won't work of course. Given the discussions I can't blame Ken for trying to simplify things, but it needed a bit more thought before implementation. | | | | IVS Registered: January 2, 2002 | | | | Last edited: by Lithurge |

There is obviously a major difference between creating a profile from scratch and performing minor tweaking of an existing profile. Creating a profile from scratch needs about 5 minutes. Verifying an existing one, data by data, then modifying the numerous spelling mistakes in names and correcting the overview takes at least as much time. But with the second solution, experience shows that systematically some errors have not been seen... | | | | Images from movies | | | | Last edited: by surfeur51 |

| | Posted: | | | | Apologies if it's something you've done but takes a while to go through, but the title tool in the rules still capitalises the examples given incorrectly.
People are already submitting corrections based on the tool. | | | | IVS Registered: January 2, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | Ahh ok it looks like a misreading of the way the functionality works.
For abbreviations it relies on you entering correct data to get the correct result, e.g. if you enter NCIS it will return NCIS, but if you enter Ncis it will return Ncis.
It does have the potential for misleading people into submitting incorrect data as it will correct the capitlisation on normal titles, so people may not understand how it works with abbreviations. So you may want to consider flagging abbreviations specifically as I suggested earlier.

| | Posted: | | | | I would say any 'correct' change is of value, but these have been ridiculous.
Honestly, I think this filter and these new capitalisation rules should just be removed and something called common sense should be put in place.
I never noticed it as an issue before. Never saw any back and forth with title capitalisation. |

So, I'm seeing a LOT of contributions only changing the capitalization of words in a title, and I have to ask, do these contributions meet the standard set out in this rule:
Quote:
Make sure your contributions add significant value to the database. Well if you would fully quote and read that rule you would have your answer.... see especially the sentence I put in bold... Quote:
Make sure your contributions add significant value to the database. For example, contributions that only re-order the information within a certain section should not be submitted. These unnecessary changes are highlighted in the rules. Please do not make a separate contribution for them; however, they may be acceptable if you are making wider corrections to a profile. The rule itself says these unnecessary changes are highlighted in the rules. So is title capitalization highlighted in the rules as not to be done by themselves? Nope... so they are correct to put through alone per the rules. | | | | Pete |

But (since you mention it) I would take the cover as a second or third source (if it could not be established from the places I wrote) every time over a invented capitalization by a filter.
I'll let you in on a little known secret -- once the profile is in your local database you can modify the capitalization (and even spelling) of the title in ways that might surprise you. Try it some time. You can even lock the title field so that subsequent refreshes of the profile will not undo all your hard work achieving title perfection.
You'll be amazed at how trivial all this will seem once the epiphany strikes.
