yeah yeah ok.. Canada

for now!

:P

Nothing wrong with Canada. Quebec on the other hand...

Do we have an established standard about how to deal with artist credits of the form "<PersonA> of <unrelated group PersonA is a member of>"?

Putting the group into the artist credit feels weird because they didn't actually contribute anything, but putting it into the join phrase also doesn't feel right.

just in case anyone wants to give his/her opinion: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/62952889

also: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/62953046

om what *is* this "it fels wrong to put $thing in the joinphrase" attitude thats going wrong?

er going on

CatQuest: It feels like a hack, because it's clearly not a "join" phrase

I take it you're saying I should put it into the join phrase?

nah I'mwell I've done both myself so I really don't have an opinion. probably the *correct* is to pu it in the "join" phrase

it's worth noteing that we added the ability to have a trailing "join" phrase exactly *so* various things like & friends and other "not artists" parts of artist credits could be added proerøy

erh properly*

I just remembered this edit (https://musicbrainz.org/edit/60004173), we both entered the same release and I put the credit on track 21 into the artist credit (not the join phrase though), but you're properly crediting the group

yea i probably shouldn't have done that (can't open the linklink because it's blanked by () :D )

thanks!

yea, probably your waywas the right way

I remember that, I had that in the "to make" (in an open tab) for too long after. that's why I made a dupe :D

are you merging them? probably merge into yours

wait are you the user "#"

no you have the same name

They already are merged :)

yeps oops

But yeah that open edit on the release is another thing I'm not too sure about

i'm voting no actualy. i want more reason than "don't do this" by an user called "#" :P

I recall having a conversation about these compilation "label artists" before, but if we're going to have them it should probably at least be consistent

it shoudl be a consensus at the very least

I think it should be according if the "compilation lable artist" sees themselves as a "compilation artist group thing" or not

chiptunes = win certanly do

(also, hype! only 2 days and new release!)

elomatreb[m]: you can comment your "I recall having a conversation about.." on the edit yourself actually.

I'm currently looking up the edits where I talked about it

👍

I'm going to go eat breakfast and put a dough of bread ecasue it is lammas and breadmass \o/ 🍞

https://musicbrainz.org/edit/54478162 is the one I was thinking about, but it isn't particularly decisive

it's ok not to be decisive :)

I think reos comment in https://beta.musicbrainz.org/edit/54478162#note... is good

finalsummer: is there a particular reason to the "Don't add various artists compilations here." addition to https://beta.musicbrainz.org/edit/53627196 ?

Like, do you mean generic chiptunes compilations, or ones put out by Chiptunes = WIN, or something else?

it's fine if we decide this but I thikn we should come to an agreement first :)

I guess I'm late for the conversation, but I don't think "Jon Greco of Weird at Last" is crediting two artists, but only one (named "Jon Greco of Weird at Last")

IMO, "of Weird at Last" is being used as a kind of disambiguation text in the eyes of whoever wrote that

elomatreb[m]: ^

Yeah, or maybe a promotional thing (i.e. to say this isn't just Some Rando)

right

This was the track/recording that prompted me to ask initially, fwiw: https://musicbrainz.org/recording/25af875d-c66c... - I added the group as a join phrase, especially since it applies to both of the credited artists

CatQuest: there's thousands of bandcamp releases using the label name instead of various artists.

this one has some individual recordings credited to it

the official homepage of an artist is already gone but it's still in the web archive. Is it ok if I add the link to the web archive and set it to "official homepage" ?

antlarr: if you set it as ended, yes

Otherwise, unclear :)

You mean, setting the person as deceased, right?

No, the URL

the url can't be set to ended, can it?

finalsummer, CatQuest: they call themselves a "dynamic international chiptune collective". Whether that's an artist or just a label is a good question, but

antlarr: it can, but only from the URL info page

there's some recordings credited to the artist itself. https://musicbrainz.org/artist/2b542c4a-694a-49...

(i.e. Artist > Relationships > The URL you want has an [info] link next to it -> Edit)

reosarevok: ah, I see, I never saw that url info page before :)

i don't see the difference from having a 'cafe del mar' artist to this

reosarevok: done: https://musicbrainz.org/url/f319e4ac-5f26-4ede-...

there's multiple people compiling these chiptune albums (credited individually in release notes)

...

For real?

Sigh

Will comment

'seal poo' is a new one. I like it

?!?!?! that's sad

squigz: half-relatedly: apparently otter poop actually smells pretty nice!

I bet seal poop doesn't though.

I...

I just wish we had been called otter shit instead

haha
