@BarryWallace Steve McQueen should be for the actor, Steve McQueen (2) for the Director and Steve McQueen (1) should be deleted. Any chance you could move your submissions to "Steve McQueen?"
Ok I think you already did.

When I went to list my release of this film, I noticed what I thought were two releases of the same film. I didn't notice that one of these entries was a film; both entries had the same pictures. So I transferred the information I put on my "film" to the original film entry and added a poster from the original event. If you can get rid of my "film," I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Guys,
Here's a duplicate. One is the man's name in Hindi and the other is the man's name in English. Now, that there is the possibility of name variations, we don't need to have more than one credit for credit names that are originally in a script other than Latin.

That doesn't eliminate the problem. One can still look up, say, "Davis Byrne" and if there is actually a "Davis Byrne" that needs to be added as a credit, a user might think that credit is valid and use it.
Same thing goes for all the incorrect/invalid companies. They still pop up as options when a user is adding data. Seems very strange to keep those available.
Couldn't all of these error entries be archived somehow but not be available as options for users?

Merging removes the duplicate from the dropdown in the form (and from other searches). For instance Davis Byrne does not show up in the dropdown anymore. If you see instances of merged duplicates showing up in the search please let us know.
Same thing goes for all the incorrect/invalid companies. They still pop up as options when a user is adding data. Seems very strange to keep those available.
They aren't kept available and they shouldn't show up in search or in the dropdown in the form. In fact you shouldn't see the duplicates anywhere unless you have a direct link. (An exception is the Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer, where indexing issues are causing problems, but we hope to have that fixed shortly).
Couldn't all of these error entries be archived somehow but not be available as options for users?
They shouldn't be available. Try any of the merged duplicates listed above. Only the original should show up in the submission form. If you see exceptions please let us know.

In my opinion both are incorrect, since it’s a company. I think there should be a Company field on the Film form.
The second one is no company in this spelling. Karl Spiehs should be credited as producer seperately.

Yes, Karl Spiehs should be credited as producer, but Lisa Film shouldn’t. So both are incorrect. Lisa Film can be credited as Production Company on the release page.

Not sure what is the consensus on Chow Yun Fat / Yun Fat Chow? Deleted or merged the other ones, thanks everyone.
Correct way of writing his name, as per Chinese rules but also on all releases is Chow Yun-fat.
The other way round is fully incorrect.
I do speak Chinese and edit many Chinese submissions on Discogs.
What I propose to maybe stop such a large influx of different duplicate credits is to have an A.K.A. section on an artist page to say what the person is otherwise known as. So when people are typing these credits in and not getting any results, it frustrates them. When you have at least something pop up under a different name, normally it drives somebody to think "is this the normal name that this person is known by?" and they investigate. Most likely this is the answer to their question and they'll pick it as their credit. Thereby reducing the amount of duplicate credits.
If something could be done similar to Discogs in that regard, that'd be sweet.

Not to mention, could it be possible to have a page function forums? It's a chore to either scroll to the bottom of this page or click to the bottom every time you want to put in an entry.

I know we had an earlier discussion on how if another credit with the same name pops up when you are editting credits that you shouldn't just select the "Create " option, but that you need to add a (#) after the credit so that you select "Create " to make sure that you don't in effect select adding the credit to the "match" which you didn't select. I experimented just a bit ago selecting "Create " option when there was another match, and it instead of creating a new credit entry, added the film to the older matching credit entry's list. Those that saw that discussion might do the right thing, but those who haven't which are probably most users here, will assume incorrectly that a newer credit with their entry was created, and many errors could linger unchecked.
Code should be fixed so that unless one explicitly selects another a iisted existing credit, that it should always create a new credit. Once this is done, perhaps a one time maintenance script should go through the credits data and verify that all of the credit films for a credit match a single person against a reference like IMDB, and print out an extra exceptions list to perhaps repair either manually or with automatically another script later after review. I'd love to help you do this sort of work there here in Portland. I suspect that many credit entries have in fact films from multiple different people with the same name on them now, which don't show up as "duplicate credits".

Ack... You folks ARE doing the right thing now. I was just checking the wrong credit entry. There were a couple of existing credit entry matches for different people when creating "Captain Nemo and the Underwater City" film entry, but one of them wasn't the one I thought was one, which appropriately was just one credit instead of two. New entries were created for James Hill and John Moore appropriately when selecting the "Create" entry, and not for Bill Fraser, which I had properly matched. Your code works fine now and it's great not having to put the (#) extensions on credit entries any more. Please remove the following incorrect credit entry. Thanks!

ill easily reuse the dupe
Why is this not common practice here? Such an easy way to get rid of duplicates, and you don't have to wait for staff.
Not good practice... unless the same user that made the dupe re-uses it.
If there is a dispute or something. That's what staff said a long time ago why THEY wouldn't just delete obvious duplicated, etc.
Let them handle it.
Why it is not a good practice? I know in the past only staff could get rid of the duplicates, but that's not the case anymore.
I'd rather have staff spend their time on improving the site functions than doing something that is taken care by the community on the other sites.
There are so many duplicates it's almost ridiculous. That is partially due to a poor search function, and the situation is not going to get any better until the search is improved.
But it's no big deal - just curious more than anything. I can keep on ignoring the duplicates and leave the reporting to those who enjoy it. :P
I can keep on ignoring the duplicates and leave the reporting to those who enjoy it. :P
That's part of the problem. Report the duplicates and then... MAYBE ...the staff will spend their time on fixing such issues.
The search function thing has been a problem for years.
I know in the past only staff could get rid of the duplicates, but that's not the case anymore.
Ummm, how do users permanently delete duplicates? I suppose one could hijack someone's entry and completely repurpose it, but that doesn't solve the underlying problem.
I suppose one could hijack someone's entry and completely repurpose it, but that doesn't solve the underlying problem.
I would assume that even the current method is not meant to be a permanent solution.
Once the underlying problem is fixed and the database won't be spammed with duplicates, any method fixing the duplicates will hopefully become mostly obsolete.
I just think that repurposing the entries would be a lot faster and more efficient way to reduce the number of duplicates, and more importantly a community-based way. No need to wait around for staff to do anything.
The search function thing has been a problem for years.
Yes, but it seems to be just getting worse... it can't even find the entry for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
Report the duplicates and then... MAYBE ...the staff will spend their time on fixing such issues.
Duplicates have been reported for years. And considering the attempts made at sorting certain companies, the staff should aware of the situation.
Just getting caught up on dupes here. Sorry for the tardiness, summer vacation time.
It is interesting how the handling of duplicates has evolved on the different sites. On Bookogs it is indeed mostly handled by the community itself while here its evolved into these large threads.
Here's how I see it:
Does that make sense? How does it sound to you?
On a related note, we now have "revert to version" functionality. Which should be helpful in case of disputes. You can find this by going to the history page of a submission and viewing a specific version of a submission
Submissions that are linked to many other submissions (credits with many films attached) can be more easily moved by admins. As we have a tool that automatically moves the linked films over and doesn't require editing tens or hundreds of submissions to point the dupe or the original.
That is simply not the case. I have gone through the entire duplicate companies thread and there are many "merged" entries that still have releases linked to them. Not the "pending" ones, but entries that have been officially merged by staff.
I say letting users have the final say on a duplicate entry is a bad idea.

That should not be happening and should be less likely to happen now after improvements to the merging functionality. If you have specific examples, please link them in the duplicate companies thread. I will be going over the companies thread and merging dupes there in the coming days.
I say letting users have the final say on a duplicate entry is a bad idea.
Why? The history will be there and the changes are reversible and up for discussion so they aren't final in that way.
How do you add a credit that is marked sensitive, too a film and not create a duplicate.
This happened to me and i had to reuse the dupe cause someone marked the original credit sensitive.
Now there is one named "Lisa Comshaw" what do i do, untick the sensitive or leave her out of the film "The Nurse"
Not a duplicate but a bad credit that should be removed...

MORE LOONEY TUNES MERRIE MELODIES ERRORS
Shouldn't the alleged "correct" and "duplicate" credits be discussed first, before deciding which is the duplicate that should be deleted? This is how it works in discogs. Many of these have name variations that are not in themselves duplicates. The preferred primary name should be the one that is most "relevant", as the discogs guidelines specify (https://support.discogs.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005054753-Database-Guidelines-2-Artist#Artist_Name_Variation_ANV). Isn't this what kalli is saying above?
I believe the logic is that the earliest created page (the one with the lower number) is the "original" and any created after that are duplicates to be merged with that one.
I do agree that the name they are commanly known as should be the title of the page, however since there is no way to have the variants of an individual's names listed on their credits yet, it makes sence to use their full names as a universal base source.

Just adding a Chinese film and was trying to take care to not create duplicates as mentioned up further the page, where a pattern of not reversing the order of the name from imdb listings of films will likely get you in trouble, since IMDB follows the western naming convention of putting the surname last, even though Chinese convention has it being first. Wikipedia and a lot of other sites seem to be better about helping put in proper naming of them. Perhaps a note on that to those used to using entry from IMDB listings for Chinese name credits in the notes would be helpful.
Here’s some duplicate entries I found on the site where some have had this same problem and other new ones should probably be merged to whatever convention we feel is right.

Would like to propose for the future that perhaps if we have actors' names in their native language, which is fine, that we currently put in their profile the English text name in the description, and perhaps like we have film aliases now that in the future will get searched for matches, maybe name aliases as well to avoid duplicates such as this. With a good alias system, perhaps we could even have other languages as well, so that when people add other films with their name in a different language, that can be found as well through searches.
I'm also adding both an imdb link and a native language site link to biography pages of these actors to help identify them and their works for both native speakers and those trying to add them in other film contexts.

I'm also adding both an imdb link and a native language site link to biography pages of these actors to help identify them and their works for both native speakers and those trying to add them in other film contexts.

Yes, that's what i do, well i haven't reused dupe credits for a while as i haven't needed to create any though i think i might reuse some soon.
I've done that with a couple of duplicates I created, I'd suggest if you replace a dupe with a credit not currently listed, addd IMDb/Wikipedia links, basically enough to say that it should be a legit credit.

Thanks all, these are all merged now and removed a couple of those fictional characters.
I think these two might be dupes, but only because the pic on the older credit with no films attached and the one I had which I just found a pic for might be the same person as this one has a wrestling history in addition to acting credits.
Older one:
https://www.filmo.gs/credit/332740-ken-anderson-2
Newer one I just created with two external links, one which has it's pic that I'd just found.
https://www.filmo.gs/credit/360399-ken-anderson
This Ken Anderson credit is a totally different person.
ken anderson 2 is a wrestler also known as Mr Anderson, mr kennedy.
the picture looks like the wrestler on ken anderson (3) though by imdb they are different people.
no the ken andersons are not dupes.
i fixed (3) up removing vodkast link as that links to the wrestler, though (3) is a actor from the 1980's
the wrestler ken anderson (2) did not start wrestling till 2002 and was born in 1976 unless he was an actor at the age of 4 acting as a CIA Agent i don't think a 4 year old is a possible to be a CIA Agent.

The link you removed that had his pic also points to him being in the film I had just created that is credited to Anderson (3). Now looking at it further, it looks like not all of the credits are proper. It does credit him for "Behind Enemy Lines", an that points to Ken Anderson's IMDB link that corresponds to Ken Anderson (2).
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1867747/
But it looks like it is flawed in pointing him to Ken Anderson in "The Kidnapping of the President", which is a different Ken Anderson, and the Robin Hood Ken Anderson it credits him for, is actually Ken Anderson (1) if you look it up on IMDB.
Looks like you corrected it correctly. Perhaps add this imdb link to Ken Anderson (2), to reduce future confusion between them.

The first one looks properly spelled as "Mehmet Kurtuluş" (pronounced Mehmet Kurtulush" in Turkish), where the imdb link has his name improperly spelled, and therefore I added the sinematurk link to show that this entry is properly spelled. I used to live in Turkey while I was young, which makes this instance more visible to me. Probably want to make sure that when we check for duplicates, and let people entering basic English letters have them equivalenced with those same characters with umlats and cedillas as the case here are equivalenced to help avoid duplicates being created, as there will be other credits with mispelled names like imdb had here.

Interesting. I tried to correct this on imdb, but it wouldn't let me saying that ş charcters aren't permitted, which is probably why his name and probably many other Turkish named individuals also have their names mispelled there. We probably should check through our DB, and correct likely many other credit names that are currently mispelled too, since apparently filmogs ability to have foreign names is superior to imdb now. :)
Corrected another credit entry and added a sinematurk link for him to show the proper spelling for his name that imdb doesn't.

I found a few other entries with improper spelling from what appears to be imdb sourced names. Wikipedia gets it right, and we should probably review the database to see if other credits have problems too. Here's a letter from some frustrated people in the Turkish community on this problem three years ago with imdb, with three different "not allowed" characters that are causing problems for them.

Another duplicate created because of imdb spelling bug for certain characters. We could help here by making sure that searches equivalence those letters like (c and ć in this case) that are going to happen frequently when users look to find duplicate credits with these mispelled names. This works at the top search engine entry, but still not when entering in credits for a film entry page.

1. (original is flawed with the name duplicated. It is empty.
- due to the side effects of a) IMDB's chararacter set bug not spelling credit's names with proper characters, and b) not equivalencing some letters when searching, only the second entry shows up on list of matches when trying to adding IMDB's misspelled name, which could help us overcome IMDB's flaw and a factor therefore in creating duplicate entries. ("ū" should be equivalenced to "u", and "ė" should be equivalenced to "e". )
Found a third duplicate for this credit that is stored under a Russian name here...
https://www.filmo.gs/credit/76295-ingeborga-dapkunaite
It looks like the two good ones need to be merged. Updated the external links on both so that there will be references to the many different ways her name is spelled.
I think this calls in to question perhaps the need to establish a precedent sometime later as to which "base language" to store the credit under? It looks like this was originally stored in English text name before it was changed to a Russian name. Once searching can look through perhaps a list of "aliases" for a credit down the road, which can perhaps be mined in an automated fashion by going through the various film records and extracting the name variant values that might be stored for a given credit. Then in the future when entering films, the base name of a credit and it's aliases can be used to spot duplicates to keep something like this three-way duplicate from happening due to different spellings of names and character set messes from imdb. A good reason to populate as much of the specific different alias values from another site when entering a film for the film itself for an equivalent type of search with aliases searched for as well.

You could always reuse the duplicate for another credit, just rename it.
I've also noticed you added birth dates into notes, if you open Events and select "Born" you can add that info into the profile and it will add their birth date under their search name, not sure you knew this already, I just noticed on one credit you updated that you pit it in the notes.

Thanks for reminding me of reusing credits. Just did on this duplicate. On the event entry for birth and death dates. I might put those in if it would allow one to have specific city and state locations and not just countries. It's easiest now just to cut and paste from imdb to put in profile or construct in a similar fashion from other sources if it isn't there, which is pretty consistent with all other credit entries they have.

You can copy/paste the location into that section, I just use the base country since I'm mostly cleaning up these pages.

That's a great point. We can defer to the Discogs guidelines around choosing an Primary Artist Name (PAN). I would say if the majority of the Actor's credits appear on releases in their native language, and/or they're not particularly well-known outside of their native country/language then we go with the native language spelling (Russian, in this case). Seems like these all fit in that category so I think they can be merged into the Russian credit page, but let me know if you think otherwise.
All others are merged now, thanks!

I've seen those about, they did also include the link to the original in the notes. I'm not against using it beyond my own list but if that were to happen I'd be for including a link to the original in the notes.
Good original:

The first one is the only one with any films attached to it, although the second one would probably be easiest to use?
Was there at some point a bug where if entering a film you had two different lines of credit entries for the same person (i.e. director and writer) that it created two separate credit entries? I think I just found where that might have happened. Go to this film:
https://www.filmo.gs/film/53108-mayor-of-the-sunset-strip
... and note that there were two entries for George Hickenlooper as director and writer and they point to two different credits... The director entry here:
https://www.filmo.gs/credit/53109-george-hickenlooper
and the writer credit entry (notice the numbers here too):
https://www.filmo.gs/credit/53110-george-hickenlooper
I haven't seen that problem with recent films I've created with the same "duopoly" happening in them, so I'm guessing this bug got fixed. I'm fixing this to have the film point to the first entry, which has other films pointing to it too, but the second one should be reused or removed.
These two should be merged:

both pointing to the same actress's roles. I'm going to add one more film to the first one shortly.

This circumstance is pretty frequent with credits often with both a role as direcctor and writer nd sometimes even acting roles for the same film. I know that this doesn't happen any more at the current time, as I've done this for many films I've created recently without problems. But I could see that in the past it might create two separate credits in these circumstances for the same submission.

Even though these are duplicates I'd argue it would be best to keep them and to link them to the main page, since the main page is in the original language and harder to search in English, this would make it easier to use the correct page.
Ive done such with all of these, I think until there is options for name variants it might be best to keep the English variants around for convenience.
thanks, merged now
Good one:
https://www.filmo.gs/credit/363323-kay-tong-lim
Earlier one not matching imdb:
https://www.filmo.gs/credit/262409-lim-kay-tong
The first points to the name that IMDB points to instead of the different name order that the earlier one here had, which leads to dupes being made like this one and others all using the dupe instead of the original one, which no one else finds later.
Another "reverse name" Asian credit that I created by accident. Thought I was checking every one on the film, but I missed this one.
A suggestion for site devs. Perhaps when you are entering a new credit name, it could check in reverse order the name you are typin in too, so that it would catch these potential duplicates before they are created, and make it easier to enter in Asian films.

^ I still don't get how "Anthony Hardwood" (lol) is not technically the ANV of "Marko Nagy" when "Marko Nagy" predates the former, and was used in several early, uh, "productions", according to IMDb.
I'd argue it makes sence to keep their names to their most recent usage and ANV any previous names to that.

That's fine. But I disagree as I don't see how it works like that. Variations don't work retroactively. They either come after or exist contemporaneously with the "original"/earliest form they vary from.
The name "Marko Nagy" seems, for all intents and purposes, retired. But it came first as a name for the singular living flesh-sack masqeurading as both "MN" and "AH", and possibly multiple additional aliases for all I know. And this is assuming "MN" isn't (at least potentially) a legal name.
So, I believe that, short of a "legal" name, the earliest known alias ought to take precedence, making "AH" the ANV.
I never knew Marko Nagay was Anthony Hardwood.

Maybe a duplicate (but is also an imdb duplicate if so too!) Have sent a note to imdb on their likely site error, so if they do get merged there, then these two credits should also get merged as well.
Note this third party site points to films on the firs timdb link and the one film on the second (likely erroneous imdb link).
Thanks, merged now.
I'll hold off on the Michael McDonald credits for now. They do look like dupes but hard to make a conclusive call without having seen the movie. Please keep us posted on the IMDb status!

I'd appreciate if you point out which credit pages have been repurposed as I don't have extensive knowledge on wrestling credits and their alternate stage names (or ring names? I really don't know.)
There's no need to be rude about it, I can reverse those merges.
You could of easily done a google search.
i already fixed the errors.
I thought it made more sence to repurpose duplicate credits, especally if it only had one or two films link that would be easier to update the films the correct credit, I think merging should only be needed if there are two or more credit with multiple films linked to them, just seems a waste of time and effort to merge a credit that only has 1-2 films linked to it.
That's why I have been tagging duplicate credits with DUPLICATE in their title so they can be repurposed into other credits and they don't get used in films, most have/had 1-2 films linked or some not even anyfilms at all, and I only tagged them to make sure the right credit gets used.
I will admit that I occasionally make duplicates due to using a seperate name or the site taking so long to check and nothing coming up.
That system does look good and useful, however the only duplicated get posted here.
I was also upset so sorry falsepriest, i will try and keep my cool from now on.

If you use the IMDb's for the films they are seperate people, the only isssue I can find is I can't find a source for Eric Robertson for "Lenny Kravitz: Breathe", so I used the source for the other film Dream World.
I just created this credit dupe by accident, when I had created the original earlier and hadn't recalled. I noticed today that sometimes the bringing up dupes part was a bit slow, so if you didn't wait long enough, you might think there weren't any existing credits, which I think may have happened here.

https://www.filmo.gs/credit/392750-jafar-panahi
Notes:
I just updated the cast member's name to English and moved the Persian instead to the profile like is the case for most other Persian name credits I've created. Without "aliases" for credits that are searchable, it is too easy to create duplicates like I just did. I recommend that until aliases are added to credits that are searched for matches, we put in the English character spelling of credits everywhere, and add the foreign text credit names to the profile, which can be used later to build searchable aliases. If we want to have the original foreign language text for credit names, currently we should just use name variants to achieve this.
i think having them in English is a great idea so it's easier to find, we should do this for all the Russian credits.
Will wait on staff's comments
I would not change non-English to English. Although filmogs is pretty much a dead horse now, if we want it global at some point, we need PANs in original languages...
There are not only Anglophone users here, and we still want to reach out to all, like on Discogs, no?
Oops, added an extra credit.

Found this duplicate when correcting the original credit's spelling to have "á" instead of "a" character. Thanks for having the warnings at the top of the update page for potential duplicates. Most of the time I ignore these when they don't really apply to updating existing characters, but this time it did point out that there was another duplicate credit already in the system. Perhaps the second credit was created when it didn't find the original credit (with different incorrect spelling). Would be nice when creating original credits for a film if it would equivalence "a" and "á" characters and others similarly to help identify credits already in the system. Perhaps this duplicate wouldn't have been created.
