        kepstin: It definitely seems distinct from stadium/arena.

      • hawke1
        kepstin: at least if we're talking about a motor racing track
      • 2016-02-23 05438, 2016

      • kepstin
        hmm. I suppose it depends. A NASCAR track is pretty much just a big stadium :)
      • 2016-02-23 05432, 2016

      • CallerNo6 goes back into crank mode: I'd rather pull venue types from wikidata, and fix them there if they're not sufficient.

        how has wikidata been so far at keeping stuff that wikipedia decides isn't "notable"?
      • 2016-02-23 05453, 2016

      • CallerNo6
        hmm. good question.

        we shouldn't be restricted from adding my buddies playing at a bar down the street just because the bar's not in wikipedia :)

        hawke1, kepstin: I meant that Place type for both car racing tracks and hippodromes
      • 2016-02-23 05415, 2016

      • hawke1
        kepstin: yeah but the concept of "bar" is going to be in wikidata.
      • 2016-02-23 05424, 2016

      • hawke1
        kepstin: also, to my knowledge wikidata is much better with regard to notability.
      • 2016-02-23 05448, 2016

      • hawke1
        (Their biggest problem IMO is semantics and especially international equivalance of various things.
      • 2016-02-23 05435, 2016

      • kepstin
        Hmm. You're talking about linking place types to concepts in wiki data rather than pulling place types by seeing what the linked wiki data entry for the place says?
      • 2016-02-23 05427, 2016

      • hawke1
        kepstin: I think that's the idea, yeah.
      • 2016-02-23 05441, 2016

      • CallerNo6
        I was talking about both, but the former would be good start.

      • xplt
        kepstin: >>"how has wikidata been so far at keeping stuff that wikipedia decides isn't "notable"?" The same way as wikibooks and wikiquote keep the stuff, which isn't related to articles

      • reosarevok
        It'll also probably have, say, a classical music subforum, so it should be possible to have discussion on those style issues that are very specific on its own place where more people related to that specific field will see them

      • rszasz
        and should the recording relationship be auto populated by the fact the artist is listed as the artist on the release/track?
      • 2016-02-23 05414, 2016

      • JesseW
        rszasz: if the liner notes or other information specify instruments played on specific tracks, add them to the recording. Otherwise, add them to the release.
      • 2016-02-23 05444, 2016

        (I'd say they should be added to the Release Group... but I don't think that's the prevailing style (or well supported by the code))

      • JesseW
        eh, it's not *wrong* to add it to the release even if you have more specific info
      • 2016-02-23 05437, 2016

      • JesseW
        it's more of a problem (and not that much of one even then) if you guess that instruments just listed as being played on the release were played on every track
      • 2016-02-23 05404, 2016
