| | Posted: | | | | Here is a list of invalid BY's that probably exist in your database and definitely exit in one or more of the databases that were contributed for v4.
If you want to improve the accracy of your database, you'll want to remove the BY's for the following Cast members. If you plan on contributing headshot databases for v5, I strong recommend removing these BY's from your DB. If you don't, you only increase the time it takes me to clean out the bad BY's you left in. Please.

Here is a list of invalid BY's that probably exist in your database and definitely exit in one or more of the databases that were contributed for v4.
If you want to improve the accracy of your database, you'll want to remove the BY's for the following Cast members. For clarification purposes: Just so I can keep up-to-date on "invalid BY's", are you asking people only to submit BY's if they have a copy of the Birth Certificate, or to consider ALL BY's "invalid" and not to submit any? Thanks for clarifying.  Paul |

Only birthyears listed in this thread should be used. This is not possible. This thread is to document what is accepted in the database (for our own info) but is rather incomplete. |

| | Posted: | | | | The BY's in the crew post above are ones that do not exist in Invelos's database. Only unique names in the headshot db with invalid BY's are listed here. I didn't include invalid BY's that had more than one person with the same name which I am leaving in. |

Paul Paul: I think he is asking you ONLY to Contribute BY data IF it complies with the Rules. "Enter birth years only when necessary to differentate between two actors with the same name. When submitting a contribution that adds a birth year to one or more credits, list justification in the contribution notes." In short BY data has a specific purpose in Profiler, we don't take BY data for EVERYBODY. For example: Maximilian Schell (1930) There IS NO other Maximillian Schell other than the well-known actor who has appeared in numerous films, including Deep Impact. THEREFORE BY data for Mr. Scell would be against the Rules. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | I've decided tonight that I'm going to make it a requirement for db contributors to remove invalid BY's that I've posted here.
When someone submits a headshot db, I'm going to check it against a few random names that I've posted. If any are found with BY's and I validate that those BY's are still invalid in Invelo's database, I will reject that contribution.
This is for the greater good of a pure database. (And less processing time for me and other users) | | | | Last edited: by Dr. Killpatient |

Thanks for that: I checked them all, and I was glad to find that none of them had crept into my database - well, except one, that is: Paul Smith. But I really think that one is necessary - here are two IMDb-links for quick reference: - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0809525/- http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1015981/I'll try to dig up more documentation later. | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

| | Posted: | | | | These BY's are most likely due to the BY cleanup Ken did on the Invelos database a few months ago to purge BY's attached to only unique names. If you find someone with a valid BY and you have profiles for both (or more) persons, by all means, submit a contribution to make it a valid BY.
Note that I didn't remove the BY's for dup names with headshots. I figure that those will eventually become valid BY's. |

| | Posted: | | | | V4 will be available later today (July 1st). It's ready now but it'll take a bit to upload to my ISP and I'm too tired right now to wait for it to complete.
v4 is 303 MB, a 64% increase in file size. |
