Item: Carl Th. Dreyer
Type of Problem: Incorrect Data
Extra Details:
Whilst his full name was Carl Theodor Dreyer, he was (to the best of my knowledge) always credited as Carl Th. Dreyer. Every time I've changed his name to Carl Th. Dreyer someone else has always changed it back to Carl Theodor Dreyer. Perhaps the field should be locked one way or the other.

About what name to use, see here: https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/people
The only source I know to evaluate and / or quantify the names that were used is IMDB.
And it seems that the most used was Carl Theodor Dreyer.
It is also better to unify, use the same from IMDB and Wikipedia.

My curiosity.
What is your native language? Danish (da-DK)?

That's fair enough, I suppose. That said, he's credited as Carl Th. Dreyer on his official site, which is run by The Danish Film Institute (Det Danske Filminstitut). https://www.carlthdreyer.dk/en

For whatever it may be worth, I just now checked my Criterion DVD of Dreyer's La passion de Jeanne d'Arc (The Passion of Joan of Arc) (1928), and it repeatedly (on the cover [front and back], as well as in the insert) presents his name as Carl Th. Dreyer. I've, throughout the years, seen his name presented fully spelled out, as well as the abbreviated-middle-name way - but usually the abbreviated way.
Following is how the TCM site presents about him: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/person/361400%7C26985/Carl-Th-Dreyer/
Meanwhile, however, a boxed Criterion Dreyer set presents his name fully spelled out (on the cover, at least): https://www.criterion.com/boxsets/254-carl-theodor-dreyer-box-set (FYI: My Criterion The Passion of Joan of Arc DVD is the one that Criterion sells separately - not in a boxed set.)
