Ressources
- FreeDB Gateway.

- open edits
- open, has "No" votes

- applied edits in the last 7 days

- new releases for Various Artists
Learned by advice
- No "Nr." (See edit #6262364)
- Parts in the disc title should be separated by slashes. (see edit #6232220)
- Tempi in the track title should be separated by hyphens. (see edit #6232082 and MultipleTitleStyle)
- Use "(feat. <artist>)" when adding artists to the track title except for orchestras. (See edit #6262372)
- Use
″
(U+2033 'DOUBLE PRIME') as the symbol for inch. (See edit #28374999)
Comments (for Copy 'n' Paste)
- moved featured artists from title to artist field
- resolved [Tracks_With_Multiple_Artists]
- better apostrophes, parentheses (Typographically-correct punctuation is preferred, see [Style/Miscellaneous].)
- You may want to correct the capitalization (see [Style/Language/English]). The "Guess case" button is your friend. (Well, almost. You have to check afterwards.)
- Use a colon (:) to separate multi‐line parts of a release title (if no other dividing punctuation mark is present). See [Style/Titles/Subtitles].
- [Style/Titles/Volume_numbers] explains how to enter volume numbers. The "Guess case" button is your friend.
- The disambiguation comments are fields in the database used to help distinguish identically named artists, labels and other entities. See [Disambiguation_Comment].
- Please enter as much information as possible. Can you provide a barcode, a label, a catalog number, a scan of the cover, anything that helps other editors to approve your edit?
- The release can be found at amazon, so you can provide a link.
- Please enter extra title information as described in [Style/Titles/Extra_title_information].
- Please follow [Style/Titles/Featured_artists] for featured artists.
- If you have the CD at hand, could you enter the DiscID ([How_to_Add_Disc_IDs])? And while you're at it, you may want to add the fingerprints ([AcoustID]).
- If you want to add additional information like who recorded it, where was it mastered, etc. you may want to use the relationship editor. Click "Edit relationships" on the right side.

Notes
- You can use the MusicBrainz ID in the relationship editor
- Klicking through tons of similar items? Put in the MB-ID (looks like any UUID, e.g. 2520cdaf-6146-3293-b856-5b163e76e1d2).
- You can use (undocumented?) wiki style in comments
- "[Style/Miscellaneous]" results in Style/Miscellaneous
- "edit #5582056" results in edit #5582056
- Punctuation:
- As a general rule, MusicBrainz editors should correct spelling and punctuation. (Style/Principle/Error_correction_and_artist_intent)
- Use of basic ASCII punctuation characters such as ' and " is allowed, but typographically-correct punctuation is preferred. (Style/Miscellaneous)
- Picard can convert Unicode punctuation characters in MusicBrainz data to ASCII for consistent use of punctuation in tags. ([1], [2])
- Japanese artists have a tendency to choose capitalization and punctuation for aesthetic reasons; and to be very consistent regarding case over all releases. For this reason, words in the Latin script on a Japanese release should be in the same case as on the album art if other available sources, such as official discography or record label pages, are consistent; not normalized according to English or other capitalization standards. (Style/Language/Japanese)
- English quotation marks:
‘…’
“…”
([3]) - German quotation marks (in Germany):
„…“
‚…‘
»…«
›…‹
([4]) - English apostrophe:
’
(U+2019 'RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK') ([5]) - English ellipsis is treated inconsistently ([6]). Some authorities require three dots, some suggest using the prefabricated ellipsis character
…
(U+2026 'HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS'). The use of spaces before and/or after the ellipsis is also inconsistent. - English number signs come in different shapes.
#
(U+0023 'NUMBER SIGN'),#
(U+FF03 'FULLWIDTH NUMBER SIGN'), and﹟
(U+FE5F 'SMALL NUMBER SIGN'). - The sharp sign in music notation:
♯
(U+266F 'MUSIC SHARP SIGN'),𝄪
(U+1D12A 'MUSICAL SYMBOL DOUBLE SHARP'),𝄰
(U+1D130 'MUSICAL SYMBOL SHARP UP'),𝄱
(U+1D131 'MUSICAL SYMBOL SHARP DOWN'), and𝄲
(U+1D132 'MUSICAL SYMBOL QUARTER TONE SHARP') - The numero sign
№
(U+2116 'NUMERO SIGN'). - The prime symbol
′
(U+2032 'PRIME') is commonly used to represent feet (ft), arcminutes (am) and minutes (min). The double prime″
(U+2033 'DOUBLE PRIME') represents inches (in), arcseconds (as) and seconds (s). ([7]) - Please, let's never get started with white space characters. ([8])
Open questions
- How can edits be protected?
- Sometimes the spelling is special, some annotations are non-trivial. Is there a way to subscribe to releases instead of artists?
- At that time, there's only two ways to "protect" stuff: (a) write a big fat warning in the release annotation and/or (b) subscribe to the artists, and vote/watch the changes. Now, there's some discussion to address this in DataQuality. -- RobertKaye 2007-02-12
- Will there be more filters and options to search for edits?
- I'm still missing "order by closing date", "All my open edits that have comments from someone else", "All open edits from other editors that I commented" and "All my open edits that are in conflict with another open edit".
Disclaimer
I think this is a good place to collect open questions and resolved issues. Drop me a line if I'm wrong. I will delete this page then.
- Please don't delete it. It's your page after all ;). Now, maybe this is not the most appropriate place to ask questions, as most people won't notice (errr... well, that leaves you with answers from the "not-most" people :p). There are two good places for fast answers: the users mailing list, and IRC. -- dmppanda 20:54, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
