C Michael Armstrong: split

2008-08-07T04:41:07.0017Z

There seems to be info on two different C. Michael Armstrongs... there are film categories and also information on an executive of the same name. In addition there is another C. Michael Armstrong here: http://www.freebase.com/view/business/cik/1168011

I'm going to use the link above to add Citigroup board member C. Michael Armstrong

Michael Mann: Merge to this one please

2008-06-25T20:41:40.0012Z

It has the /view/en/michael_mann URL

Howard Deutch: Duplicate?

2008-06-05T20:11:21.0011Z

It appears this topic is a duplicate of this topic:

Howard Deutch

The latter seems to more expanded.

David Winters: Film data should be moved to other David Winters

2008-05-15T18:10:50.0005Z

There are two other David Winters, one a film director, another a film producer. Those two should be merged and the film data attached to this topic should be moved to that topic.

Trey Parker: Use of the alias field

2008-04-25T21:58:47.0007Z

This shouldn’t happen again. Thanks for noticing it.

When MusicBrainz tells that X is also known as Y, we don’t necessarily know that Y is a fictional character played by X, as opposed to just a stage name.

It’s definitely a bug that the bot is re-adding aliases previously deleted, though. Sorry about that, and thanks for bringing it to our attention.

It looks like your MusicBrainz bot is still adding improper aliases. Will this be fixed?

Trey Parker: Use of the alias field

2008-04-16T20:48:53.0007Z

You are correct - names of the characters that an actor portrays should not be aliases of that person. This is an artifact of some psuedonym refactoring that was done on musical tracks. In general, if you see another topic like this, feel free to delete the pseudonyms.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Should aliases really be used to include roles played by an actor? It seems very inappropriate to me.

Jeremy Leven: Merge to this topic...

2008-04-16T18:29:53.0012Z

Please.

Cédric Klapisch: Les poupées Russes vs The Russian Dolls

2008-04-01T16:41:07.0000Z

Thanks for noticing this. I've flagged the two topics to be merged. You can flag topics to be merged by clicking the little flag icon that appears next to the title; when you select "merge with another topic", you'll be able to indicate which topic it should be merged with.

Cédric Klapisch: Les poupées Russes vs The Russian Dolls

2008-04-01T13:45:38.0012Z

Les poupées russes is the French name of The Russian dolls.

It would be better to merge the two items iwith a multilinguage relation.

Peter Hewitt: Merge to other

2008-03-07T16:28:54.0012Z

The other Peter Hewitt has the WP keys.

The Wachowski brothers: Brother Co-directors

2008-02-26T18:23:40.0000Z

I'd say that they're writing and/or directing teams, like Gilbert and Sullivan, Lerner and Loewe, Comden and Green, etc.

The Wachowski brothers: Brother Co-directors

2008-02-26T14:16:53.0000Z

I tend to agree. I realize they work together, but it creates problems for entry of certain info such as birthdates, spouses, etc. if we consider them of type person. Is there a type that would cover close working relationships that the people in them are almost always refered to as a single entity? The Wachoski Brothers and Coen Brothers are not bands nor legal corporations (a partnership, perhaps?). So what are they?

Stephen Williams: Merge?

2008-02-20T23:50:47.0025Z

one of these is a disambig page and should be deleted.

The Wachowski brothers: Brother Co-directors

2008-01-21T18:37:02.0007Z

Marked for split.

The Wachowski brothers: Brother Co-directors

2008-01-21T18:04:18.0007Z

Yes.

The Wachowski brothers: Brother Co-directors

2008-01-21T06:06:07.0012Z

Should this sibling relationship be split into individual concepts?

Film director: Multiple Directors for a film?

2007-12-14T17:23:40.0029Z

This change was halted late yesterday afternoon (PST) and will be discussed further as what changes are needed to make as minimal impact upon any applications or mashups. As far as I can tell in my initial investigation, no current application (like Cinespin) uses the current existing IMDb Entry user-created properties in Film or Film Actor. That said, will await any feedback from the community (probably after the new year has come and gone and many of our users no longer distracted by holiday/vacation activities).

One consideration is that an IMDb URI property probably would be better suited as part of Media Commons so as to be used in both TV and Film types.

2007-12-13T23:30:50.0007Z

Done, the categories in Film that it would make sense to have an IMDb link now have it.

My first use of the new supporting type in a schema ;)

Please let us know if you feel it needs to be added elsewhere within the film domain

2007-12-12T19:13:15.0007Z

Film director needs an "imdb entry" property.. perhaps you guys can add a "imdb person" supporting type, and move the imdb entry property over to that?

Film director: Multiple Directors for a film?

2007-07-02T17:43:54.0007Z

Sure - just click on the icon to the left of "Directed by" and you'll get a pop-up menu. Click "Add new" from the menu and enter the director's name.

Film director: Multiple Directors for a film?

2007-06-30T23:26:05.0012Z

Was recently attempting to add info about a film, but it was co-directed by two people. Is it possible to have to Director entries for a film?
