Another green bottle fell from the wall...

"I say here that I am adding "Cast" to the list of sections to which I no longer contribute..."

I fully understand. It's a pity IMDb has chosen so clearly for the people in the showbiz and with that - because this group is interested primarily in their own interest and not in the database as such - against the contributors/(customers of the) database. It's a weird and rather unwise position they've put themselves in. They seem to think they can chose for both the people in the biz as well as the contributors/customers, but I think they are sorely mistaken because both groups have the exact opposite wishes for IMDb....

Hello ljdoncel,

I have look for the credits removed and could find them listed and live under Andrew Teplitz (III), the provided page did not have the credits you are referring to. 

Also, I have done the changes in your behalf on the credit, the changes will be live on the site shortly! Is there anything we are missing to cover? if there is, please let me know, so I can take a look for you. 

Cheers!

Unfortunately, I have to add a third item to the list of departments to which, as of today, I am no longer contributing: Second Unit Directors or Assistant Directors.

I know it's not much, but it's the only way I can protest this nonsense.... ("Stacey" vs "Stacey N." --- really?)

Can someone please explain how allowing Stacey N. Harding to hide the fact that she was once credited as "Stacey Harding", or David Charles Warren to hide the fact that he was once credited as "David Charles Warren III", is consistent with that? I suspect that both of those people, along with some of the other people who have used the function to suppress alternate names, misunderstood the name suppresssion function.

Clearly this (as a different name) suppression of alternate names has gone wrong and seems to be misused more often than it is used for an understandable purpose -- and either way, it would still be inconsistent with the policy "not to alter or delete any kind of correct/factual information".
