2019-10-11 28420, 2019
CatQuest

i know how terrible a problem database consistency is so i'm trying to learn the rules.

someone keeps rejecting my edits so i figured I'd ask some questions here
2019-10-11 28459, 2019
CatQuest
wait they are and not saying why?
2019-10-11 28416, 2019
CatQuest
they should be writing why and posting links to styleguides etc
2019-10-11 28418, 2019
iconoclasthero
i'm not understanding the reasons and the process...
2019-10-11 28426, 2019
iconoclasthero
i'll go back and look in a minute.
2019-10-11 28439, 2019
iconoclasthero
should i use the actual title or should I use $release title?
2019-10-11 28456, 2019
CatQuest
eh. sorry "$release title" was jsut a palceholder for (the release title)
2019-10-11 28413, 2019
CatQuest
I don't remember it and i probably cant type it right
2019-10-11 28420, 2019

iconoclasthero: the release title comment was (I think) to say that if you have a random artist you know nothing about, you can just add it, and if it clashes with something else, you can just add a disambiguation like "on Brown Eyed Handsome Man"

yeah, i didn't know if MB used that as a back-end variable
2019-10-11 28454, 2019

2019-10-11 28409, 2019

so what's the final ruling on the title?
2019-10-11 28437, 2019
reosarevok
Whatever is printed, you choose the order that seems the best tbh
2019-10-11 28447, 2019

now as far as entries that are getting rejected or otherwise commented on unfavorably, i believe that chaban has been doing most/all of them.
2019-10-11 28419, 2019
iconoclasthero
one comment is "why repeat the link in the annotation if you already added it as a relationship?"
2019-10-11 28428, 2019
iconoclasthero
i guess i would answer, why not?
2019-10-11 28444, 2019
iconoclasthero
but more to the point, why not just fix it if the redundancy is unnecessary?
2019-10-11 28458, 2019
iconoclasthero
and/or undesireable.
2019-10-11 28442, 2019

or "> use “Island” or “Def Jam Recordings” labels rather than this record company"
2019-10-11 28407, 2019
iconoclasthero
well which one do i pick if the album actually says Island Def Jam Music?
2019-10-11 28421, 2019

Well, if you do something and a person should fix it every time, then this person needs to spend their volunteering time fixing it instead of doing something else :) (re: redundancy)

I still fix classical music additions from people who have been doing the same thing for over a year, despite me reminding them that there's a better way, and it can get frustrating :D
2019-10-11 28442, 2019
reosarevok
(usually I'll fix it, but also comment so I hopefully don't need to fix it in the future)

re: labels, I dunno, labels are hard

i've really not gotten a hang of the responses i've gotten to entries.
2019-10-11 28441, 2019
iconoclasthero
i just get these emails with comments that really don't help me to improve the accuracy or proper style of my additions.
except that there are additional tracks i couldn't figure out how to add...
2019-10-11 28418, 2019
iconoclasthero
and I'll take out the pasted portion.
2019-10-11 28442, 2019
reosarevok
But you didn't specify that in the annotation, just the edit note :) *that* bit you could probably put on the annotation, for future editors
2019-10-11 28415, 2019
reosarevok
Everyone can see it's a live CD/DVD, but they can't see (unless they check edit history) that you left some tracks off and why, so having that in the annotation as sort of a "fix me if you can" makes sense to me
MR > D Latvala Reels @ 3 3/4 ips > DBX Reels @ 7 1/2 ips > PCM > DAT > CD; upgrade relative to previous shn copies; includes soundcheck and most of encores; via Mike Hall; tracked for 2x74 + 1x80 (with alternate tracking suggestion)

or in the case of the other one I mentioned, it is actually a description of the recording of the show from Rolling Stone...
