Can all those willing to help source missing pics please make themselves known? (It's all go i'nt it!)

I don't mind doing it, but whether or not I can depends on how I would go about doing such. I'm still quite new to the DDP.

 

I might as well note here that this team appears to have been put in twice.

 

Edit: Death Warmed Over posted about the duplicate team while I was writing this. Ignore that bit.

Potential for disaster trying to remove one of these!

We'll just have to wait for one of them to atrophy

David Graham has been picked by one theme team but sadly the great man is long gone. However as the theme team is a golfing one, I think it might be the Australian golfer https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Graham_(golfer)

Well spotted. The golfer angle does make sense, of course.

My main team looks good, but I noticed that for my congressional theme team, Six Feet Under the Dome, my pick for US Congressman David Scott (born 1945) was instead listed under the astronaut David Scott (born 1932).

There are two Ram John Holders, by the way.

Don't tell there are two Jean-Pierre Leaud's as well!

Dunno if this has been asked before or not but why is my main team’s « best position » blank ? 

[wannamaker 1,536]

The Jim Bolger in the DDP is the wrong one, it should be the former New Zealand PM since he was picked by a NZ theme team.

[Summer in Transylvania 2,455]

Roberta Flack seems to be in the right place on the Drop 40, 17th, but this rank is given as 1 on the page.

I've messed up a few (all?) the updates for this field, will have to be addressed later - I was more concerned with getting the site up for now.

That was easy - I can solve problems like that all day

OK, I'm sure that happened last year too! It's on the list!

I'm also fairly sure Kaiti Grey wasn't born on 14th May 2024, like her entry on the picks list says she is.

Wow, I'm in the top 10 for the first time ever - I need to screenshot this before Theo Burrell dies.

[machotrouts 899]

A few hitches:

 

- On my '#1 Hits' team, John Hall should be the drummer from the Equals, not the former majority shareholder of Newcastle United FC.

 

- On my 'Special:RandomInCategory/Living_people' team, I did not pick Princess Catherine, but I did pick Katharine, Duchess of Kent.

 

- On my 'Unpersons' team, "Years in DDP: 9" is wrong – this is its 10th year. (Looks like it was wrong last year, too; I didn't notice until now, which I guess tells you how much this matters.)

I will never tire of saying it again and again:

Estelle Parsons was not only nominated for an Oscar (for Bonnie & Clyde), she won it too. No idea why this just doesn't get corrected.

I won't but I will say that there are two Victoria Jacksons
