No, in the end credits of Devil's Gate he is credited twice, once near the beginning of them without a company header and later with a company header.
So, how would you suggest we enter something like that into DVD Profiler? That would inform how we treat him in this list. | Posted: Topic Replies: 19, Topic Views: 19941 |

Not sure how you can say Jean-François Ferland is the common name with only 4 confirmed credits vs. 6 confirmed for Jean-François (Jafaz) Ferlan.
It's simply a matter of counting the titles. It'd be great if all titles were all confirmed, sure, but it isn't written anywhere that they *have* to. There's always a common name today. As always, things may be different tomorrow, but today, the title count favors Jean-François Ferland. If it's different tomorrow, rest assured that I'll be among the first ones to fix my profiles. | Posted: Topic Replies: 19, Topic Views: 19941 |

So in 'Devil's Gate' he's credited as visual effects supervisor in the opening credits as Jean-François Ferland and again in the end credits as J-F (Jafaz) Ferland. How would you suggest I reflect that in this list? Films where the same crew members are credited, for the same jobs, in both the opening and the closing credits, are not exactly rare, that happens quite a lot actually, certainly in what you'd call "foreign" films. I've always been told that we don't list the same crew members doing the same job twice, and that the opening credits take precedence. Do you agree?
And now that there are acting credits for this guy, it may become more likely that the Jean-François cast entry in 'Screeem', a short film in the database under UPC 622406-221690, also belongs to him. Looking at that profile, Anouk Whissell appears in 'Screeem' as well - Anouk Whissell being one of the writer-directors of 'Turbo Kid', that our Mr. Ferland worked on as well. So there *is* a connection there... | Posted: Topic Replies: 19, Topic Views: 19941 |

I wanted to establish the common name for producer Pat(ricia) Finnegan (1928-2011). Note that there's also an actress/art director credited with the same name variants (common name-finding thread here), throwing off the CLT numbers. This producer, often credited together with her husband, Bill Finnegan, never worked as an actress, nor as an art director.

I wanted to establish the common name for visual effects supervisor Jean-François (Jafaz) Ferland, with way too many name variants (it's not at all unlikely that I've missed some).

The CLT also shows a lone Canadian DVD with an alledged acting credit for a "Jean-François Ferland". It doesn't seem to be this visual effects supervisor, seems unlikely, but I can't be entirely sure, so I thought I'd mention it. | Posted: Topic Replies: 19, Topic Views: 19941 |

I wanted to establish the common name for actress Sarah Viccellio/Sarah Clements. Viccellio is her maiden name - she only started using Clements after she got married.

| Indeed. "Supervising Producer" is a valid credit for DVD Profiler purposes, "Production Supervisor" is not. | Posted: Topic Replies: 2, Topic Views: 4011 |

I wanted to establish the common name for actor Damion S(c)heller:
DAMION SHELLER (3 titles, 2 confirmed, 46 profiles)
- Infinity
- Manhattan (confirmed by T!M)
- Rich and Famous (confirmed by T!M)
DAMION SCHELLER (2 titles, 0 confirmed, 10 profiles)
- Infinity
- Melrose Place: Third Season
Even if 'Infinity' turns out to be Damion Scheller, the larger number of profiles acting as the tiebreaker would still make Damion Sheller the common name. | Posted: Topic Replies: 0, Topic Views: 2401 |

It might be worth a try for someone who is really miffed at having to wait for that download.
For the record: I have absolutely no problem waiting for a minute while refreshing the online profile list, I'm not craving for an automated process. I merely noted that if a lot of us are downloading those files several times a week, that causes unnecessary traffic to the server. That alone could have been a reason for Ken to fix it.
