The Hong Kong director of Riki-oh: The Story of Ricky, The Cat (1991), The Seventh Curse, Peacock King, Her Vengeance, Men from the Gutter, etc, has gone by a number of different names over the years according to film credits. He has gone by Lam Nai Choi, Lam Ngai Choi, Lam Ngai Kai, even Simon Nam for Riki-Oh. Many of his films in the database have different variations of his name and I would like to come to an agreement to a common name for him.

According to the special features on the Vinegar Syndrome release of his film Her Vengeance, the historians mentioned that the director himself goes by the name Lam Nai-choi so that gets my vote.

From contribution rules:
"To determine whether to enter the name directly as credited, or to use the "Credited As" field, use the Credit Lookup tool.

It is not necessary to document the source of the common name, outside the use of the CLT. If there is a dispute over whether the credit references the same person, documentation may be necessary. However, in most cases, it is not required.

The inclusion of CLT results in contribution notes is strongly desired but not required. Note: In the case of uncertainty, leaving this out may cause the contribution to be declined."

You can make a thread to establish the common name and verify all the credits in the database; the variant most used in the credits is the common name.

Jesus Christ, I don't get paid enough to research all the credits of this person in the database. What a minute, I'm not getting paid at all lol. Invelos is basically dead so I'll change it on my local level. If someone else wants to do all that work for free, more power to them.
