If you're saying that "Animated" can be automatically shifted from the Actress field to the Description field, I'm following you. > > > As puppets and Claymation comprise only a handful of > > > entries, I suppose it makes sense to lump them with > drawn > > and CGIed scenes in the generic "animated" > > > category ... but perhaps an instruction should be > added > > asking entry authors to differentiate.

I imagined you felt the same. But I think that info should be included in some way, so I was suggesting "Animated" be added, but that entry authors be instructed to specify the type of animation in the description ... while expressing pessimism based on previous experience that folks would pay it any mind. Claro? It's hardly a major issue ... there aren't more than a handful of "other" animation scenes in the DB ... but I thought it was worth hashing out. |

| Sunday August 03 14:19:04 2003 a question |
| OK. I have a question.
I tried to access the list of actreses' names, but I need a username and password. I would like to simply skim through the list, make a note of any notables I was unaware of, and maybe spot a mistake or two. If this subject has already been addressed and explained, please don't throw me to the wolves. I rarely look at DB Corrections, and I only did today because of the note citing future changes. Thank you for your support. |

I don't want the general public to have access because everybody will be running the tool to gawk at the list(s). |

| Sunday August 03 15:15:50 2003 More lists |
| I have the first cut of the Title extraction tool. See link below. Right now it just puts out the each Title string as it appears in the database, sorted in alpha order. However, some errors are already evident, so the more industrious among you can dive in whenever you feel like it. I am aware of the strangeness that comes between the Z's and the odd characters. I'm working on it. http://brianspage.com/dbedit/titles.html |

| Sunday August 03 16:54:54 2003 Animated entries |
|
I hope all the various types of animated scenes are now under the "Animated" banner in the Actress field. The one Claymation, the MAX STEEL CGIs, and the puppet entries are now listed as "Animated" ... with notations in the descriptions as to what type they are. There will be a CGI addition later this week with the MTV SPIDER-MAN sequence airing Friday night. I'll likely be the author ... but if someone sticks it in ahead of me, and one of the other eds sees it before I do, please modify the entry as indicated above, if necessary. |

| Next pass of the Title extractor is in place. I figured out the gobbledygook, it seems that some entries still have "Episode Title:" in them, which threw off the tool. Only about a half-dozen, but those who have been regularizing the Episode lines should be interested. The error messages at the top are because the tool currently treats anything in () as a date. Some are AKAs, some are notes that will eventually need to be moved to the Description, and a bunch more (?). Unfortunately a lot of those, we'll either need to check each of those titles or just erase the ?s and assume the title is correct. Opinions? There are some funky ones because the Titles look like: 7 Days, AKA Seven Days. Since commas are legimate parts of titles, they end up appended for now. I think I can fix the tool to parse those correctly, so don't anyone jump on those, there are 162 entries like that. http://brianspage.com/dbedit/titles.html |
