Don't change please the episodes' titles :)
Since the show is Spanish, the episode titles must be in Spanish.

Segmented Animations


TomSouthwell posted 2 years ago

Hey Aidan. Hope you're doing well!

Please can you make sure if adding episodes to animations and they are segmented, that these get added correctly. I'm trying to keep on top of animated credits, but for example with Larvae Family today im now going to have to go and split 9 episodes into 27 before starting work on the guide. If you're not sure of a show meeting the segmented rules (most do but very rarely some don't) then let me know and I'm happy to check it out before we run into this issue again. 

Thanks

Tom

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 ?


JuanArango posted 2 years ago

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. :)


Aidan posted 2 years ago

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


TomSouthwell posted 2 years ago

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. 

LWT


Aidan posted 2 years ago

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.


Nivekolsen posted 2 years ago

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.


Aidan posted 2 years ago

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.

 

Ghosts (2021) - S02E04 - The Tree


CostaDax posted 2 years ago

Hi, Aidan! I hope you're in good spirits and excellent health!

According to the edit log, it was you that added the information regarding the guest cast of the episode The Tree of CBS's Ghosts. I was wondering where this information came from. I just watched the episode and there were several noticeable differences between the information you added and the onscreen credits.

1) Thomas Wilkinson Fullerton as Protestor, Francesca Gosselin as Ulster worker, and Hazgary as Ted the Arborist are listed on screen as co-starring, not as guest stars. I'm guessing this was a slight oversight, so I corrected the entries according to the onscreen info.

2) What is more puzzling is the fact that you added Kegona Brazeau guest starring as Lenape Villager. However, according to the onscreen credits, Keggy is co-starring as Lenape Villager. The name Kegona Brazeau does not appear on screen. I checked IMDb if those two names refer to the same person, and according to IMDb, they are not. Kegona Brazeau has her own IMDb page and she does not appear in Ghosts, whereas Keggy has a different IMDb page and she is the one that appears in Ghosts. Perhaps IMDb is mistaken and those two are indeed the same person, but I can't find anything online to verify that. I was wondering where the name "Kegona Brazeau" came from in connection to Ghosts.

3) You added Pierre-Alexandre Vollant guest starring as Lenape Villager #2. However neither the actor nor the character appear anywhere in the credits, and this actor is not even listed among the cast of the episode on IMDb. Again, where this information comes from? I moved Pierre-Alexandre Vollant from guest stars to uncredited because that's what he is, but I cannot confirm that he really appears in the episode. If you cannot confirm his appearance, he should be deleted altogether.

I don't mean to put you in a tight spot and I hope I haven't. It's just that it was really surprising to find these discrepancies because your work as a rule is pristine. I'm sure there is a good reason.

Please get back to me when you can.

Take care!  :)

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 :)


CostaDax posted 2 years ago

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! :)


Aidan posted 2 years ago

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!

FBI


wmulder posted 3 years ago

CBS pulled the finale of FBI although the episode was streamed the same night.


Aidan posted 3 years ago

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.
