When I was looking through some entries, I noticed that FUNimation actors Travis Willingham and Jakie Cabe were entered in incorrectly, with their whole name in the "Given Name" box. I was thinking about just entering one of these in the correct way in a new title and reporting it in the duplicate persons thread, but that won't work (since the spelling is exactly the same, even though I aligned the names differently). Is it possible for these two to be fixed? There are also some more, though I haven't combed through to check which ones should properly be broken into proper "Given FAMILY" order.

Heck, this is indeed a big problem. I can't establish correct entries -- even with a little trick that can solve most incorrect name entries. Dan / tempest, this is a job only you can do. Wink Here's a partial list:

User t(name withheld):
Jakie Cabe
Robert McCullen
Travis Willingham

All cast / staff names by user C(name withheld) for D7 Peacemaker:
Arik Renee Avila
Cecile Nguyen
Evita Arce
Jackie McCann
Joe Carson Smith
Michael Sullivan
Rebekah Rhoades
Scott Helmcamp
Tony Hobdy
Ward Boyce
Xero Reynolds

They must have used multi-input incorrectly. I didn't mark them all Improbable because they are valid info but with incorrect name arrangement.

As a special note, this one can just be deleted, because Sensui's VA is Robert MCCOLLUM. I believe "Robert McCullen" is just an error which popped up on an earlier YYH cast list.
