Doubled entries, one with incorrect title: http://hol.abime.net/hol_search.php?find=forest%20dum

Can a mod move the above post and this one to HOL data problems?

Thanks.

I suppose you mean "Forest Dumb Forever!!!" and "Forest Dump Forever".

I would correct this, but it is possible that the person who added this as an alternate title read that name in a preview/early release...

So let's wait a week and then I'll modify the entry accordingly if no answer is posted (and anyway it will be easy to revert back).

Done.

Not a very imaginative title, I'm afraid, but I guess it'll do.

[lilalurl]

Thanks and lol at the title

[s2325]

Kwatermaster developers: http://hol.abime.net/4388
Tomek Liebich should be Tomasz Liebich
Michat Widera should be Michal Widera (letter L with additional diagonal line is special polish character)

Thank you

Can't update Tomek Liebich as I get a DB error Will report back once it's fully fixed.

You're right! I think someone who made such "high" quality boxart didn't check title.

Probably because there is already an artist called Tomasz Liebich (probably the same).
I guess we will have to correct each game entry and then delete the Tomek artist entry.



And lol at the Forest Dump box. I did not think to check that.

A little bit more helpful feedback would be nice, but at least I know the reason now. It was the only game with a credit for 'Tomek' Liebich, so I've updated the entry and we'll never talk about it again

[lilalurl]

Errr more details?

I believe that you tried to update the entry for Tomek L. to Tomasz L.
However, there already existed a Tomasz L.

So I guess (really just a guess) that the database gave you an error because it detected two artist entries with identical content.

[TCD]

The case you outlined is so far correct

If you try to change 'Doug Smith' to 'Gene Smith' (which already exists) you get:

Query failed
UPDATE data_artist SET S_artist='Gene Smith', D_birth=NULL, D_death=NULL, S_www='', S_private_addresses='', S_email='', N_ref_mothercountry='0', S_notes='', S_private_notes='' WHERE N_id_artist=1266

I bet your first guess would have been 'Ah, duplicate name, of course'
(it's really not visible why the query fails, because you can't see the 'UNIQUE Constraint' for S_artist... if you know what I mean )

[s2325]

Yes, the same. Tomek = kid, Tomasz = adult.

[lilalurl]

Yeah, I don't really know why but duplicate/similar entry would have been my first guess (zerond guess would have been illegal character which can happen with some Polish names ).

Can you tell a bit more?

I guess we can add some notes to the artist entry such as:
"also known as Tomek Liebich. Tomek is actually the name variant for Tomasz used in Poland until an individual is adult"

Not sure what the conditions of the name changes are though.

[s2325]

You can see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_%28name%29

[s2325]

If you see in polish game something like it's still the same letter. All forms are in use.

Graphician Danuta Stenkowska http://hol.abime.net/4606 should be Danuta Sienkowska as you can see here with more readable fonts: http://hol.abime.net/4654

[lilalurl]

Thanks, name corrected and credits changed to have the same artist entry.

Since Marek Pasek is also involved in the same games, there is no doubt that it is indeed the same person.

It's not possible to zoom miscshot in World Golf http://hol.abime.net/1771/miscshot

[lilalurl]

Very strange.

I have the same issue as you if I check it as a simple HOL user.
However, if I login as a supercontributor I can zoom in.

I am afraid I can't do anything. Perhaps some core team members will know better.
