Ok I've been updating the English dub cast of Hunter x Hunter
from the following web site as my source.

http://www.crystalacids.com/database/title/1357/hunter-x-hunter/

I'm also trying to update all the roles for the voice actors and actresses too. Does anyone want to help out? It's rather simple
because the information is all there. It's just copy and paste.
It's nothing difficult just tedious because so much more
needs to be done.

I haven't been to Crystalacids in ages. Is it considered a "reliable" source?

Yes I would say that it is.

Tempest (thread: "How come there is no Cast in this Anime?", 2005) and areaseven (thread: "I don't know if this is the place, but question...", 2005) on the subject. I don't know what changes have occurred in the last five years.

I didn't even think to check the Bibliography and there it is.

Speaking of the bibliography, it needs updating. It is suffering from serious link rot, and lacks the second edition of The Anime Encyclopedia.

Of the dead links, the Anime LD Cyclopedia is available via the Internet Archive, and I have created a much-expanded version of Anime on DVD's Catalog Check—see here.

Weird that the old bibliography.php was still there. I've redirected it to the correct location: animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/bibliography

And I've added D2_STATION, Shoboi Calendar and livedoor wiki. Not sure about the official titles or maintainers though.

I do use http://wiki.livedoor.jp/radioi_34/ for data mining and crosschecking but, since it appears to be a user-contributed wiki, I do still prefer to actually enter data from the credits themselves. It does have the advantage over D2_Station for quick checks since it has search box, avoiding the google site: search rigmarole.

Others wiki's that I have used in the past are anime@wiki and sakuga@wiki (I have seen at least one definite error on the latter so again, I wouldn't take anything as read without cross-checking, but at least knowing what to check is a good start)

Others that I have found useful information on and bookmarked for future reference are
http://shirayuki.web.infoseek.co.jp/
http://lain.gr.jp/modules/mediadb/
http://www.ops.dti.ne.jp/~cwdm/ace_2/base.html
http://www.anime.marumegane.com/index.html
http://www.jmdb.ne.jp/
http://yurichan.nerv.org/
http://zeev.blog119.fc2.com/
http://www.allcinema.net/

None of these should be considered an endorsement.

Frankly I'm shocked to find out there's someone on ANN practicing such a data addition method. Just wanted to say that.

I've recently discovered that what ANN calls the "Catalog Check" is actually the Anime Yearly Checklist, which is a different thing, and IMHO should be relabeled.

Otogi Zoshi article from Livedoor encyclopedia changes double-byte Latin letters to single-byte Latin letters. The lines which have affected are:
制作:Production I.G
製作:日本テレビ、バップ、Production I.G
AP:小林三紀子
3DCG:松本薫
    ムーク ENZO ANIMATION 作楽クリエイト
    プロダクション I.G
    DDE
    ムーク ENZO ANIMATION
    arp Japan
    Ani Village
制作協力:P.A.WORKS

The removed lines are red, and the added lines are blue.
Notices in endings: AP = shortened form of Assistant Producer

It should be easy to replace 2-byte Latin letter by 1-byte Latin letters for the tasks before starting the contribution.

For the company names this is indeed a problem. In some cases (such as this one) I added those 2-byte Latin letter names as "kanji" names of the company so that they will be "translated" automagically. But when a company gets "romanized" credits even in some Japanese sources as well as katakana credits in other Japanese sources (such as アニビレッジ = Ani Village = Ani Village) then ANN's data structure (allowing only one kanji name per company) meets its limits.

This can be done semiautomatically using the Romaji Translator at Romaji.org, or the similar translator at AnimeLab.com (http://animelab.com/anime.manga/translate)—but the latter is down again (for me at least), probably for a week or two, if past history is any guide.
