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

there only 2 movies with a Weinstock cast credit:
Delta Force: with a Gerry Weinstock credit (28)
Warzone: with a  Jerry Weinstock credit (3)
it is not even sure there the same person?
Gerry Weinstock: Delta Force  (Actor)
Jerry Weinstock: Mayor of the West Side (Producer), War Zone (Actor)


Correct Giga, I have seen no documentation, just assumptions.

...That would be reasonable documentation BTW, however we are still after MOST COMMONLY credited name.

so the only consequency is, not to enter asian-names ito the online-DB or abolish the first/Middle/last name crap, because otherwise unguilty users are forced to enter wrong data,

Correct, mad, if you refuse to follow the Rules and want to worry about FamilyTreeProfiler, then you are GUILTY. You can have FamilyTreeProfiler LOCALLY but leave it THERE.

He may have been credited been credited as Gerry and Jerry, however they could also be two completely different people. To use your choice of words, assumptions are madness, first verify that they are the same person before using the CLT.

And based on that, Giga, I would say that Gerry and Jerry are TWO different people.

AND based on my own research, they are INDEED two different people, so any attempt by any user to link the two would be an error and introduce corrupt data into the database. Bottom line as I have said repeatedly, Nimrod, don't make ASSUMPTIONS just because two names appear to be similar.
