Numbers

Postby p.i.klein » Tue Jul 18, 2006 7:58 am

I think it's a bit confusing to use different numbers for the main name and akas, like here.
Isn't it better to use one number for all the names of one actor?

Perhaps here are some problems with numbers?

Even though it might seem confusing to some people, I think the current procedure in the example is best. There should be one set of numbers for each distinct English name, and another set of numbers for each distinct Chinese characterization set.

It would be much more confusing if the same set of numbers covered both the English and Chinese names.
