Thanks for that tidbit of information, tim, I didn't think it had based on what I had seen to date, but i had not tried Achim's specific description...yet. And based on your comment I don't need to now, since it doesn't work.

Apparently my common name change of Don Digirolamo to Don DiGirolamo is correct, because my contribution of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" (15-1) has been approved and released today. In spite of Tim's clear objection in his no vote:

Quoting T!M:

Don Digirolamo appears in 27 profiles in my collection, and apart from this, he is NEVER credited with a capital G. So I'd say we use "Don Digirolamo"

All that suggests is that the screeners are human and prone to mistakes as we all are.

I didn't want to say that... I thought I made a pretty strong case (see my post on the first page of this thread), but with a voting result on the actual contribution of 15 to 1, I'm not exactly surprised at the screeners' decision. I do still feel, however, that the results of this poll are not exactly a guarantee for success if I were to try to change Don's other 26 appearances in my collection to "Don DiGirolamo credited as Don Digirolamo". Somehow I'm convinced that a large chunk of these 26 updates would garner a number of no-votes and be declined. Until I find any more evidence that shows that that Don DiGirolamo actually IS his correct name - more than just one single credit in 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' - I think I'm going to stick with Don Digirolamo for now, as that's the name he seems to be mostly credited as.

The common name should be his most commonly credited as name which does appear to be Don Digirolamo.

No it doesn't. His most commonly used name is "DON DIGIROLAMO" and with the rule applied, which I mentioned in my first post, his name could be spelled "Don DiGirolamo" and his credit in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" confirms this.

If your going to use Don DiGirolamo as the common name for the credited as Don Digirolamo then your actually saying he has been credited as Don Digirolamo.

No, I'm saying his common name is actually something else than the credited as name.

If he is credited as Don DiGirolamo in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" then why would you even need to use a common name Don DiGirolamo?

I don't, but he was stored as Don Digirolamo in the previous existing profile.

If your saying DON DIGIROLAMO should be Don DiGirolamo because of the rule for "di" then really again that isn't a common name.  That is just a formating the name based on the rules.  But, the use of "di" is usually when we have credits like DON DI GIROLAMO we would enter it as Don di Girolamo.  Your assumution the "di" would have us enter DON DIGIROLAMO as Don diGirolamo.

Whether articles are joined with the last name or are written seperately does not matter. The rule simply tells us to put it in the appropriate name field which is usually the last. And the article "Di" is always capitalized, so writting Don diGirolamo is out of the question.

If you just used the credited as feature to make him Don DiGirolamo as shown in the credits.  Then you have established his common name as Don Digirolamo.  If your saying his common name is actually Don DiGirolamo you should have never used the common name of Don Digirolamo.  This makes no sense if your trying to establish his common name should be Don DiGirolamo.

I have contributed Don DiGirolamo as his common name by which he is credited in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" so I do not need the credited as feature there. I only need that feature for the movies where he is credited as "DON DIGIROLAMO".

Movie: DON DiGIROLAMO; Common Name: Don DiGirolamo, Credited As: None
Movie: DON DIGIROLAMO; Common Name: Don DiGirolamo, Credited As: Don Digirolamo

That's what I'm saying.

Yes it creates more work, but if Don DiGirolamo is his proper spelled name then its that what counts more as a common name than the fact his name is credited more often in all caps (IMO).
