There's a John (D.) Reilly (1936) from "Who's the boss", with the same headshot as John C. Reilly (1965) from "Chicago".
There's also a John Reilly (BY unknown) from "The Brady Bunch", no headshot.

Two questions regarding contributing headshots:

1. Do we have to use RapidShare?
2. If the answer to the above is "no": Do we have to split the file?

I'd prefer to just upload one zipped file to my own server. But if you'd rather I follow the instructions to the letter I can do that, just thought I'd ask.

Question for jykke and Juoquim before i install this one... - if only actors with head shots are present, does it just not touch actors without headshots that i have listed in credits for films in my db?

Quoting jykke:

Quote:
The new master database has following John Reillys:

John C. Reilly:
John Reilly:

No other John Reilly in the current version. As far as I know, these should be correct images.

Edit: The above John Reilly is the one from Brady Bunch. According to this information IMDb's John Reilly (I) and (IV) are the same person:
http://www.soapoperadigest.com/soapstarstats/johnreilly/

Am I correct, or does anybody have better information?

Easy to believe, not only since we see so many complaints about the accuracy of IMDb, but also since the biography for JR(I) has a big whole of several years, that nicely fits all the entries for JR(IV).

Lets see if I can answer this one for you.

If the master headshot file has actors a.n.other 1, and  a.n.other 2 and a.n.other 4, but you have a dvd in your local as a.n.other3 and you install the master headshot file, do it as previously mention as a restore with the option to compare.
A) It will only install headshots that you do not have at all.
B) Any headshots you currently have in your local will be shown to you along with the one in the master headshot file for the option to compare them yourself and select the one you would prefer, so if yours is a better quality or an image you would like to keep over the new one being offered just select to keep yours...if you prefer the new one select that one to replace your headshot.
C) The master headshot file will not erase any picture that is not in the master headshot file.

Either way you will still have the headshot for a.n.other3 still in your local. Hope this helps.

As long as Juoquim coordinates this project is up to him how he would like to get your contributions. However, I don't think it matters how you send him your contributions.

In an earlier reply I gave some instructions to oleops from Norway how to contribute Norwegian-only headshots. You can apply the instructions for other contributions too. That way the backup file does not grow too big. You'd contribute only those names and headshots you want to make corrections to. If you make a backup of your whole cast and crew databases we'd be back where we were with the first version: lot of headless people or faulty entries.

ok so im looking at how this restored... and for example... my harrison fords are backwards

the silent film star is credited as the modern and vice versa... what is the easiest way to fix this?

I made similar correction by switching the birth years of the two. If you had both of them with BY in your database prior to the restore, there should not be any problem.
