These issues happen all the time: literally every day in my world.
Right. And therefore, it makes sense to point it out somewhere, and question if it's a translation error, and if there are more like it around on a website that claims to do databasing and producing stats out of said database.
Neither of my initial two posts was meant to be shady, and I wasn't pointing out the possibility of its being a translation error for no reason. If they took it otherwise, well that's their problem. Not mine, really.
If you noticed, after "Nanningxia Song" was fixed, Nan Song's entry now contains his results from 2009 Nationals and the elements he performed there. Thereby making the database more accurate and the stats more complete.
Here's more BTW:
And here I am wondering what other mistakes this person might have made, not just when it comes to names, if he couldn't do such a basic review.

Misha Ge of China, who competed only in 2009 Chinese Nationals.
Expecting 100% clean data in a database of this size is unrealistic.
Good thing I wasn't, then, until someone told me I was "complaining about translations being pulled over incorrectly". Would say someone who's pointing out that it's a "valuable resource" should understand why translation errors - or whatever the bug was here - are important to be pointed out somewhere, as is the question about whether it's affected more than just this particular nationals' entry.
Automated pull / feed, I'm sure.
I don't really agree here, BTW. Not that I care enough to argue on this website, but at least for us, when we do a project, we make sure that the entries/results/whatever make sense. Eyeballing something so simple - the names, and Misha Ge from China - shouldn't be considered out of the ordinary.
