If it's erroneous, why bother entering additional personal info (kanji name, date of birth, etc.) for that entry? You're just adding more work for me. 
I've told you about it before. If you keep doing this I'd take it as intentional. |

And I told you before that you should consider the order of events: It because I entered additional data (such as the Kanji name) I found out later that it is a duplicate (when I entered another role for that Kanji name).
Some of his role credits were entered for the wrong guy already (i. e. not by me), thus I gave him the kanji name when validating these credits; some other roles were not entered, and that's when I noticed that he's a duplicate. Is this so hard to understand for you? If Dan42 implemented a uniqueness check during the Kanji name contribution of a person (which I suggested in another thread) I would be able to find out about the duplicate while entering the Kanji already. This is what you want me to do, so please ask Dan42 to implement this tiny little improvement that saves you so much time. And I leave the Kanji for the wrong person in there because it can take months or years before an Encyclopedist will fix the person, and other contributors ought to get aware of the duplicate in the meantime. Were I able to fix the duplicate (i. e. remove the wrong cast entries) I'd remove the Kanji for the wrong guy as the final step of this operation - which is exactly what you did now. By the way, there's a reason why this thread is tagged "work in progress" - it warns you that you don't have to handle potentially incomplete and erroneous input from my side. What if I had intended to remove the Kanji of the wrong persons once I've completed this task? Why don't you start with the many tasks I've completed already? |

(Sigh) I'm not gonna to spend my own free time day after days listening to this crap. Guess it's time for me to quit. Feel free to model the Encyclopedia in whatever way you like. |

I'm in no position to remodel anything. If you ask me to stop contributing, I will do that.
It's just that a lot of things could be done a lot more efficiently at ANN, and given the low number of encyclopedists and the years of delay between reporting errors and fixing errors I thought it would be helpful it I did a part of your work (i. e. improving the quality of already existing entries, which is why most of my contributions are kanji names for already existing persons which is the way of finding duplicates). Apparently you don't want that, so... it's your baby, not mine. Just don't blame contributors for not having a better tool for merging people - it's not me who can implement that. |

I don't think we blame people for suggesting better tools. We blame them for entering false information. It takes more time to remove all wrong entries than it would take to remove the ones you didn't enter (after you removed yours yourself) and merge the two. I can assure you that it would be so much more convenient for us if submitters would 1. check their entries before submitting them, 2. don't enter redundant information and 3. give us a proper source where they found the information. That last one even counts for people who report errors: I spent on average one hour per day to handle 10-15 error reports, just because I have to search the web myself for confirmation. So you should understand that merging duplicates isn't our first priority. |

But I am not entering false information. I enter the correct Kanji name for a person who was correctly credited for some anime contribution by someone else - under a wrongly romanized name. You're shooting the messenger instead of the culprit.
And if removing the Kanji name from a duplicate causes any additional effort for your then you just confirm my point: Your tool for merging duplicate people doesn't leave the duplicate in the state you want it to be in. Which is something that Dan42 could easily fix within this tool. |
