Hi

When do you actually split, with separate credits or is it enough with separate title cards ?

I don't have access to watching the episodes when I do my morning Netflix edits, but if multiple episode names is enough to assume title cards I can go by that. If not I can skip those shows.

And how do you deal with missing episode descriptions and episode images ?

A separate title card is enough, Larvae Family also has a separate "story by" credit for each segment, taking a screenshot for each segment should be no problem, the summary is not that easy I agree. :)

Alright, cool, I'll skip animated shows with / in their names from now on then.

Netflix and some of the other major distributors - Disney+ for example split summaries so segment 1 is sentence 1 and segment 2 is sentence 2. 

Those abbreviations are just shorthand used in press releases and promos after first giving you the full name and not an actual name used for the show.
You never see the abbreviation used without the full name mentioned first.

The facebook post I linked uses the abbreviation without using the full name mentioned at all though. I guess I just don't see a problem with having it there.

The facebook group name is the full show name.

But yeah, considering you've added like a million of these unnecessary abbreviations, whether this one is added or not makes no difference to me.

Hi there.

The information come from CBS's press releases (mirror if you're outside the .us) that they put up a week or three before the episodes airs.

Unfortunately they sometimes have smaller inaccuracies and typos in them. 

Those press releases also don't distinguish between guest and co-stars so it's common practice that everyone gets added as guest with the assumption someone corrects it after the episode have aired.

For CBS I catch all of these mistakes on their drama shows, but on the comedies I either don't watch them or I'm hopelessly behind so it's more noticeable there, I guess.

Any more questions just hit me up, cheers :)

Thanks for getting back to me so fast! I was sure there was a good explanation. The press release is a good source but according to the Data Policies, onscreen credits are a better source than press releases. The link to the press release was very helpful though. Thanks again, Aidan! Cheers! :)

Onscreen credits are obviously the best source.

If you look at the edit log you'll see I added this 10 days before the episode aired and any info from press releases should absolutely be verified/corrected once the episode is available. Which you did, so great work!

That's a different outlet than what we have set for that show, so the airdate should be left blank per our season consistency rules.

Hi

Thanks for the heads up but I will not stop adding information from press releases.

Whether you have to add or remove cast info it all adds up to the same, edits have to be done.

For more context 80% of the shows I add press releases for are procedurals on CBS that i also watch and make extensive edits on, including cast appearances.

My weak spot are their comedies, I guess, so if there's any repeat offenders there so to speak, just give me a heads up and I'll try to avoid those.
I'm thinking in the lines of Mark Harmon still being listed as main on NCIS despite having left, that sorta thing.

Cheers :)

Sure, I was referring to B Positive only, it's the only show I follow where I noticed that! My only suggestion, if I may, is to add the appearance of Darryl Stephens (Gideon) in the main cast, he was promoted for season two.

Anyway, no problem at all, now that I have "the powers" too I can edit them on my own!  XD

Cheers!  :)
