in the sites i have been going to in the past they call this page a thread is it called the same thing here? did i put my questions in the correct place, thread if not i'm sorry, i'm learning?
i have clicked on every link and on every page I can find and I am so frustrated because I can't find anything to take me to FAQ's if you have a section like that or policies i want to read everything I can but its not easy to find things i'm sorry but i must be looking in the wrong places? anyways i also wanted to find out if there is any policy or rules about archived footage of stars being added into cast or if it is a no no?
What you're looking for is Data Policies down in the lower right corner at the bottom of your screen

Regarding archived footage, the general consensus is that actors won't get credited if they only appear in archive footage, so we shouldn't list them.
If there's new footage / previously unseen characters mixed in with it then it's fine to add them.
If there's new footage, but they're not credited it would just be Uncredited.
P.S If you can't find it in the policies then searching the forums may give you the answer.

thanks but i also did a search of the forum and archive never appeared 1 time until i brought it up myself in this tread. maybe it should be addressed in a policy for future users/members?

sorry don't understand the question. I just know that the show I was adding cast members into had 16 models with their names and then this status - Herself (archive footage). it may mean they were in a previous episode and they were showing a piece of footage from that previous year or episode?

So basically you are saying that a person was credited with footage that did appear in a previous episode or another show right? In case of archive footage, we do not list them as they are actually not in that episode (just a flashback).
