I'm looking at the Style Guide as it pertains to Artist Name versus the Aliases, and I noticed the difference in the latter, with the inclusion of the instruction that "πΊπππππππ ππππππππππ ... ππππππ ππ πππππππ ππ πππ πππππππ ππππ πππππππππ". Does this directive only apply to
As an example, I'm looking at an Artist who is clearly identified on their releases / album art as "MCK00L" (note the use of all uppercase and zeroes instead of capital "O"). Should this styling be retained for the primary Artist Name in MB?
TrisquelWhare: it is all about artist's intent. If the artist is "usually" using "MCK00L" on cover art, and various official medias, it should be used as is. But if it appears only once a while, then use "as" (MC Kool as MCK00L for example). In this case, it seems to me the artist is registered as MCKOOL on most digital platforms, and appears as MCK00L on the cover art, so that's more a stylistic thing than the artist's name
imho.
In doubt, contact the artist or its label
and note it can always be fixed later if needed, if you have a doubt, just write about it in annotation or smt

Thanks for that zas. To further confuse the issue, that artist's FB page is entitled "McKool" in the page name field (https://www.facebook.com/mckooltracks/), which doesn't match with anything else that I have seen from the artist anywhere.

Ask him how he prefers to appear, and use aliases / ACs ;)

Your IP is in blacklist, prolly because it was used in the past by bad guys, or you own a QNAP device
i'll look into it

curious. no QNAP device here. my router reset after a power cut a couple of days ago (i'm pretty sure i don't have a static), not that i've used picard for a few months. thank you.
zas
in fact, a whole subnet is blacklisted, prolly because it was used by spammers or hackers
and your IP is in
