Good point.  If he wanted to do that, it would be quite simple.

Obviously, he doesn't want to do that!

That, too, should tell you something.

The best way to stop it until its ready for prime time is for Ken to turn the damn thing off.  If you CAN'T enter the stuff, it won't mess up the database.  And yeah, I can hear the howls of protest from the usual suspects even as I type.

So just because the rules don't require us to eat a purple banana each time we make a contribution doesn't mean Ken doesn't want us to eat one anyway?

perhaps adding "while standing on your head."

Just because he hasn't turned it off yet, doesn't mean he won't or that he doesn't want to.  That is just you presuming to think for Ken again.  Maybe he's leaving it on just so he can get some cheap laughs by reading the idiocy that passes for debate in these forums.

Of course, maybe he left it on hoping that those who insist on using something that isn't working correctly will finally have the sense God gave little green apples and STOP using it till he's ready with a final solution.

So I must be missing something. Show me the standards and criteria to use it. Please don't tell me that you have the ability to determine what the Common Name is. Common Name based upon what excatly, Hal. Do you favor using a dartboard or horseshoes to decide and what happens if someone dares to disagree with you. As long as that exists Hal, you can scream about it as much as you wish the system is simply impossible to implement. You claim the Common Name is James, based upon what criteria I haven't a clue, I use  my Ouija board a decide it is Jim, somebody else uses a dartboard and comes up with Jimmy ad infinitum. A rule without Rules gotta love it...not the Mama

Gee I remeber saying things very similar to that to you, Hal, and you didn't want to hear it. Oh I het it its's an argument you WANT to support so it's good enough NOW. There's a word for that, Hal

My statement is based on this direct quote from the Rules:

"Use the "As Credited" field where the person's name differs from the credited name."

If Ken does not want us to follow that Rule then he should remove it and shut off the functionality.

I have no idea what you are babbling about.
