Kerensky97: what's the correct way to show that a band changed its name?
2007-03-01 06050, 2007
Kerensky97
There's no AR for that yet so an artist annotation to the new band is the only way right now.

i saw a discussion about it on the mailing list a few months back and people were suggesting to use the "performs as" AR
2007-03-01 06032, 2007
Kerensky97
I've seen that tried a few times and it gets voted down because people don't like using "group performs as group" since the members may change.

Even when a band has a split personality they use it gets voted down.

what's the plan for handling this in the future? will there eventually be a new AR for it?
2007-03-01 06027, 2007
Kerensky97
Nothing official has been put forward yet, but I think most people want some kind of relationship link for that.

But an RFC and RFV would have to be done to work out the specifics and figure out just how it would be applied to the database.

what exactly are RFC's and RFV's?
2007-03-01 06016, 2007
Aankhen``
RFC = Request For Comments.
2007-03-01 06022, 2007
Aankhen``
Usually interpreted as a proposal.

I'm not sure what an RFV is. Probably a Request For Votes or something.
2007-03-01 06047, 2007
Kerensky97
It stands for "Request for Comments" and "Request for Veto", it's basically the process of having everybody discuss the issue on the mailing lists and working out what to do.
2007-03-01 06056, 2007
Aankhen``
Ah, Veto. I was close!
2007-03-01 06049, 2007

It's kind of a painful process though. Even when it seems striaght forward like this people have a tendancy to bog things down in sematics. Imagine spending two weeks arguing with people if the AR should say "A changed their name to B", "A was renamed to B", or "A is now B".
2007-03-01 06043, 2007

Or "B was formerly known as A"!

The Artist Formerly Known As Prince was formerly known as Prince

Me, Don Redman, and a few others were comming up with ideas that might make RFC's a bit easier to deal with but it's just a bunch of discussion right now. The top of this page describes the whole process as it currently stands. http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/RequestForComment

They're not exactly high-end, but they just about fit my budget (got them cheap on eBay) and they seem pretty cool so far. :-)
