Hi all,
Two questions:
1. What is the proper TVmaze way of spelling a person's name? Do we apply a fixed rule, like first characters of all words are capitals? Or do we follow the way they usually are represented? Example Aaron LaPlante.
2. Should the AKA rule described in Show Extras "if the only difference is punctuation or capitalization, no AKA should be created" also be applied to People names? It would be nice to have a little more freedom there.
Thanks!

1. "the way they usually are represented" is the best way. The safest is to look for the official page of the talent (personal site, representing agency page etc.)
2. The purpose of AKA is to ensure, that search function will return the right person / series. The search is case insensitive, so searching for "aaron laplante", "Aaron Laplante" or "Aaron LaPlante" will return the same person without the need of different capitalization AKAs. So while adding extra AKA will not do any harm, it won't be of any help either.
