Where in the data policies does it say that different on-screen groupings imply "Starring", "Guest Stars" and "Co-Stars" groupings respectively? The UK policy says opening credits names are starring and closing credit names are guest stars. That would be if this was a UK show which it is not at least by what I've gathered, even if it is mainly filmed in the UK.

The lack of any on-screen guest star or co-star wording means it should defer to the press release from what I've gathered as well. I'm just trying to understand this better myself. I don't think those names you added as Guest Stars should be added that way because they were not credited as guests but as starring cast in the press release and in the ending credits (implied). Perhaps the other names you added as co-stars should be listed as guest stars though. That's how I think it should be handled.

Indeed I did. Thanks, Rose! :)

Dpratt, I was very polite and gave you a very thorough answer on my talk page where you contacted me. As I already explained, per our policy, the on-screen info takes precedence over any other info including press releases. On screen, the cast is divided into three distinct groupings which correspond to "Starring", "Guest Stars" and "Co-Stars". The groups are separated by members of the crew. We cannot go against policy or on-screen credits just because an older press release groups all actors together under "cast" (not even "main cast" or "principal cast" or "regular cast"). It's not uncommon for press releases to include incorrect information. Take this press release for example which refers to the episode "Chief" of FOX's show Doc. It lists a bunch of actors under the general term "Cast". On screen, some of these actors are credited as "Starring", other actors are credited as "Guest Stars" (like Sarah Allen), and others are credited as "Co-Stars" (like Kintaro Akiyama). There are other mistakes in that press relase as well. The characters played by Jake Epstein and Vanessa Smythe are listed as Tim Olsen and Beth Olsen respectively, but on screen there mentioned as Tim Stern and Beth Stern. There are dozens of press releases like that issued by all major US networks, cable networks and streamers that use the general term "cast" without differentiating the actors into starring, guest star or co-stars. That's why we always follow the on-screen data.

As I already told you, if the next episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms list the actors in a different manner, we can revisit the issue. For now what we have is correct. I hope that settles this once and for all.

We cannot group together actors that are listed separately on screen. That would be arbitrary and illogical. I beg of you, please move on.

Hello there, please add the default airtime for The Pitt to 21:00, according to Cosmopolitan, USA Today and HBO. Thank You :)

The Pitt is on a global network, so can't put an airtime as it's not linked to any timezone. Something is in development to manage this in the future, but for the time being, no airtime. :)

https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/2711/scooby-doo-mystery-incorporated in this show Linda Cardelina who voiced Marcie Fleach aka Hot Dog Water became part of the main cast in season 2 she is shown in the opening credits where it's show the main characters with their name above each character. Even though the end credits list everyone as starred. Please fix this and move her to main cast for the second season.

I will tag @TomSouthwell on this, since Tom is the expert on animation. :)
