The Shortcomings of Bulbapedia's ProjectVA

Here are some errors and disconnects the site has blinded itself too (and will only continue to turn a blind eye to) due to its change in procedure. These include actors put up before the change (and are nearly as old as the site itself) that, despite being added with little to no evidence in the first place, will never be judged, as if they have diplomatic immunity. I will do what they cannot below:

• Rebecca (Kanto) (EP029): Lisa Ortiz -> Annie Pondel [Reference: Giselle]
  • Reason for error: Overuse of Lisa Ortiz as designation for med-high young voices; confusion with Rebecca from Destiny Deoxys
• Dick and Philip (EP030): Eric Stuart (Dick) & Ted Lewis (Philip) [Reference: Tracey Sketchit]
  • Reason for association: Clear similarities to other roles
• Aya: Lisa Ortiz -> Megan Hollingshead (EP032) [Reference: Nurse Joy (for her softer lines)]; Lisa Ortiz -> Jayne Grand (EP176) [Reference: Prima/Lorelei]
  • Reason for error: Overuse of Lisa Ortiz for sharp, young voices (EP032); failure to recognize actor difference between episodes as demonstrated by flashback redub and difference in voice type in general.
• Tyra (EP036): Tara Jayne -> Mandy Bonhomme [Reference: Sue (for her softer lines)]
  • Reason for error: Overuse of Tara Jayne as designation for med-low voices; no efforts made to identify Bonhomme's character despite being credited for the season
• Katrina (Kanto) (EP069): Amy Birnbaum -> Tara Jayne [Reference: Sojiro Seta (Ruronji Kenshin)]
  • Reason for error: Overuse of Amy Birnbaum as designation for med-high voices
• Reporter (Orange Islands) (EP089): Tara Jayne -> Amy Birnbaum [Reference: Tea Gardner (Yu-Gi-Oh)]
  • Reason for error: Overuse of Tara Jayne as designation for med-low voice roles.
• Captain Crook (EP113): Jerry Lobozzo [Reference: Dox (Yu-Gi-Oh)]
  • Reason for association: Failure to recognize Lobozzo's roles beyond Snubbull and Quackenpoker
• Bailey (EP122): Carol Jacobanis [Reference: Lola, Maho Isawa (His and Her Circumstances)]
  • Reason for association: Credited for season
• Mayor (EP123): Dan Green
  • Reason for association: Lack of knowledge of Green's lighter voices
• Wilhelmina (EP132): Amy Birnbaum -> Tara Jayne [Reference: Jasmine]
  • Reason for error: Overuse of Amy Birnbaum as designation for med-high voices
• Mary (Johto) (EP139): Amy Birnbaum -> Kerry Williams [Reference: Casey, Maisy, Sakura, Temacu, Macy, etc.]
  • Reason for error: Confusion with DJ Mary
• Ellen (EP139): Carol Jacobanis [Reference: Lola, Trinity]
  • Reason for association: Credited for season
• Sylvester (Johto) (EP145): Amy Birnbaum -> Kayzie Rogers [Reference: Joe, Max post-4Kids, etc.]
  • Reason for error: Confusion caused by similar portrayal of young boy characters as demonstrated by Max
• Milton (EP159): Eric Stuart -> Maddie Blaustein [Reference: Solomon Moto (Yu-Gi-Oh), James' father, etc.]
  • Reason for error: Hiccup between Stuart and Blaustein's lower voices
• Pierre (EP162): Jerry Lobozzo [Reference: Chuck Thorndyke (Sonic X)]
  • Reason for association: Failure to recognize Lobozzo's roles beyond Snubbull and Quackenpoker
• Annie (EP173): Kerry Williams -> Kayzie Rogers [Reference: Mahri]
  • Reason for error: Hiccup between Williams and Rogers' higher voices; Williams has no other reason to be in the episode, whereas Rogers was already on board as Lulu
• Mickey (EP176): Kayzie Rogers [Reference: Lilian post-4Kids]
  • Reason for association: Rogers is also the Beauty Treatment instructor [see below]
• Ralph (EP176): Dan Green [Reference: Yugi Moto (Yu-Gi-Oh)]
  • Reason for association: Lack of knowledge of Green's lighter voices
• Pietra (EP204): Carol Jacobanis [Reference: Trinity, Maho Isawa (His and Her Circumstances)]
  • Reason for association: Credited for season
• Brittany (EP243): Kerry Williams -> Amy Palant [Reference: Tails (Sonic X)]
  • Reason for error: Hiccup between Williams and Palant's higher voices
• Dorian (EP256): Michael Sinterniklaas [Reference: Leonardo (TMNT (2003))]
  • Reason for association: Affiliated with 4Kids despite not being credited for the season (due in turn to being in an episode very late in the season)
• Alice Telesu (EP260): Amy Birnbaum -> Tara Jayne [Reference: Ritchie, Jasmine, etc.]
  • Reason for error: Confusion caused by similar portrayal of soft, young woman characters
• Janet (AG013): Megan Hollingshead -> Jayne Grand
  • Reason for error: Confusion caused by similar portrayal of young women; failure to identify Grand's role in the season despite being credited
• Old Man Swamp (AG025): Sean Schemmel -> Jerry Lobozzo
  • Reason for error: Failure to identify Lobozzo's role in the season despite being credited
• Stephanie's father (AG034): Jimmy Zoppi -> Marc Thompson [Reference: Attila]
  • Reason for error: Clear misassociation that was never questioned and left to procreate throughout the Net
• Thatcher (AG038): Amy Palant [Reference: Miss Valentine (One Piece)] [note: Kayzie in AG052 is correct]
  • Reason for error: Failure to recognize actor difference between episodes as demonstrated by flashback redub and difference in voice type in general; no efforts made to identify Palant's character despite being credited for the season
• Santa: Ted Lewis -> Alexander J. Rose [Philip Bartlett] [Reference: Narrator & Wort (Record of Lodoss War [OVA])]
  • Reason for error: Ed Paul/Ted Lewis uncredited for "Stantler's Little Helpers"
• Dr. Fuji: Addie Blaustein -> Eric Grossfeld (Mewtwo Strikes Back); Addie Blaustein -> Eric Stuart (Mewtwo's Origin)
  • Reason for error: Error carried over from Mewtwo Strikes Back and applied to all appearances without verification; pigeonholed to Addie without knowledge or consideration of Grossfeld's credit.
• Young Mewtwo: Addie Blaustein -> Eric Stuart
  • Reason for error: Aforementioned Dr. Fuji error made in conjunction with the fact that their voices are very similar. The right one simply wasn't chosen.
• Newscaster (Spell of the Unown): Kathy Pilon
  • Reason for association: Unique voice type and significant role justified by position in cast credits
• David (Spell of the Unown): Peter R. Bird
  • Reason for association: Unique voice type and significant role justified by position in cast credits
• Bianca (Pokemon Heroes): Tara Jayne
  • Reason for association: Failure to recognize despite being credited
• Shinji (The Legend of Thunder): Andrew Rannells [Reference: Harley, Len Tao (Shaman King), Noah Kaiba (Yu-Gi-Oh), etc.]
  • Reason for association: Distinct voice type with very little differentiation between roles

-The following are from Seasons 7-8, which offer episode-specific credits-

• Natasha (AG041): Amy Birnbaum -> Rebecca Honig [Reference: Vanilla the Rabbit, Xander]
  • Reason for error: No efforts made to identify her character despite being credited, especially considering that her husky tone isn't too far off from her only boy voice, Xander.
• Juliet (AG042): Bella Hudson -> Rebecca Honig [Reference: Maria Robotnik (Shadow the Hedgehog)]
  • Reason for error: Confusion regarding her mature accent; Honig also being credited for the episode
• Victoria Winstrate (AG045): Caroline Lawson -> Caroline Hellman
  • Reason for error: Failure to check credits and identify proper alias, causing confusion with Andi Whaley
• Vito Winstrate (AG045): Pete Zarustica -> Todd Garbeil
  • Reason for error: Failure to not only check credits for cast (where Zarustica was not listed), but also in identifying Vito's voice actor (Garbeil), whose performance is very similar to Yu-Gi-Oh's Marik and is therefore Jonathan Todd Ross.
• Claire (AG057): Rebecca Honig [Reference: Tikal the Echidna (Sonic X), Maria Robotnik (Shadow the Hedgehog)]
  • Reason for association: No efforts made to identify her character despite being credited
• Nancy (AG095): Veronica Taylor -> Caroline Lawson
  • Reason for error: No efforts made to identify her character despite being credited
• Keith (AG095): Amy Birnbaum -> Bella Hudson [Reference: Luffy (One Piece)]
  • Reason for error: Overuse of Amy Birnbaum for Advance series young boys
• Midori (AG095): Amy Birnbaum [Reference: DJ Mary, etc.]
  • Reason for association: Clear association previously blindsighted by previous erroneous association with Keith
• Jin (AG099): Brit Herring
  • Reason for association: Only credited for this episode, and can be pinned to him via his voiceover demo <http://www.britherring.com/gallery>
• Annie Proctor (AG102): Suzanne Goldish [Reference: Chris Thorndyke (Sonic X)]
  • Reason for association: No guest VAs means that it's from one of the recurring VAs for the season, i.e. Goldish
• Kimmy Shoney (AG112): Amy Birnbaum -> Lisa Ortiz [Reference: Tony Tony Chopper (One Piece)]
  • Reason for association: No efforts made to identify her character despite being credited

-And from the TPCi group...-

• Rhonda (Sinnoh): Sarah Natochenny -> Rhonda Krempa (DP033-DP155); Sarah Natochenny -> Bella Hudon (DP174) [References: Holly (Natochenny), Kenny (Hudson)] [note: Sarah in DP029 is correct]
  • Reason for errors: Failure to recognize change in voice type from med-low and smooth to med-high and rough (Krempa); failure to recognize significant voice difference in sole appearance (Hudson); failure to properly negotiate episode credits in all known appearances (both); failure to associate Rhonda's change as being at the same time as Kenny's (Hudson)
• Wilma (DP156): Ursula Conlen = Shannon Conley (NOT Carol Jacobanis) [Reference: Abigail Brand (Astonishing X-Men)]
  • Reason for error: Failure to look beyond known cast members and take all factors into consideration
• Koga: Billy Beach (BW116) [Reference: James]
  • Reason for association: Same "blubbery" voice type as Beach's take on James; plays a notable number of characters in the flashback
