<div>Wouldn't type 4 point to AR types that ought to be added as label-foo ARs, rather than creating fake Other-type artists which would exist only to force otherwise incorrect label-as-artist ARs? Type 4 in this listing seems a mistake to include. Also, should SPAs really be included here, rather than making them a distinct subset type of this type? That'd make generating lists of all SPAs (official or otherwise, especially otherwise) quite simply compared to how things are now. -BrianFreud<br />
<br />
* Well, of course "label as artists" should be handled differently, but until then it is best to mark them as "Other", because Person/Group clearly doesn't fit. The content of this page will not be any official style guide, but will be removed once the proposal passes, so no harm done! --[[User:Hrglgrmpf|Hrglgrmpf]] 02:25, 19 July 2011 (UTC)<br />
** So you're not planning that this text would be the definition text for what "Other" is? Ie, on http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Artist_Type ? In any case, my point is that this text legitimates label-as-artists; the "handled differently" for such a thing is that a label entity ought to be created, not that a bogus label-as-artist artist gets dumped into a (legitimate per this text) Other-type artist. [[User:99.243.22.211|99.243.22.211]] 23:51, 21 July 2011 (UTC)<br />
* I thought about a distinct type for SPAs, but decided to first only go for the "Other" type. MusicBrainz is really mostly about persons and groups, it seems excessive to have 2 (or more) types for just 0.1% of all artists. Let us first introduce "Other", and then see if it is necessary/good/wanted to introduce more types. In any case, listing them as "Other" is better then "Person/Group/Unknown". --[[User:Hrglgrmpf|Hrglgrmpf]] 02:25, 19 July 2011 (UTC)</div>99.243.22.211https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/index.php?title=Proposal_talk:Artist_Type_Other&diff=46672Proposal talk:Artist Type Other2011-07-19T02:13:06Z<p>99.243.22.211: New page: Wouldn't type 4 point to AR types that ought to be added as label-foo ARs, rather than creating fake Other-type artists which would exist only to force otherwise incorrect label-as-artist ...</p>

''Note:'' This guideline applies to the titling of a bootleg [[Release|release]]. For titling a live [[Track|track]], reference [[Live Track Style]].<br />
<br />
== Guidelines ==<br />
<br />
The following rules apply when titling a live bootleg release:<br />
<br />
# Live bootlegs '''without a title''' ''must'' be named by concatenating its date and location information.<br />
#* Syntax: "''YYYY-MM-DD: Location''".<br />
# Live bootlegs '''with a title''' ''may'' be extended with date and location information. If there is alternative dividing punctuation mark at the end of the title such as the question mark (?) or exclamation point (!), use that mark instead of the colon.<br />
#* Syntax: "''[YYYY-MM-DD: ]Title[: Location]''".<br />
# The '''location''' ''must'' be formatted using the city and country, and may optionally include an event or venue. Including the state is optional for most countries, but is mandatory for Australia, Canada, and the United States of America.<br />
:* Syntax: "''[Event, ][Venue, ]City, [State, ]Country''"<br />
<br />
=== Notes ===<br />
# The parts in square brackets are optional.<br />
# ''YYYY-MM-DD'' is the date of the recording including the year (YYYY), month (MM) and day of month (DD).<br />
# ''Venue'' is the name of the location where the concert took place (name of the hotel, stadium, hall, etc.).<br />
# ''City'' can be the city, town or village.<br />
# ''State'' is to further distinguish cities with identical names (such as ''Pasadena, TX'' vs ''Pasadena, CA'').<br />
## "State" should be interpreted to mean whatever is the appropriate term for the specific location, e.g. 'state', 'territory', 'province', etc. which indicates the largest official geopolitical subdivision just below the country used in the location.<br />
## States in the United States of America, Canada, and Australia should be abbreviated. A reference list of these abbreviations can be found [[#State_Abbreviations|at the bottom of this page]].<br />
# ''Country'' is the country.<br />
## The United Kingdom should be abbreviated to "UK".<br />
## The United States of America should be abbreviated to "USA".<br />
## The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics should be abbreviated to "USSR".<br />
## The Netherlands should be named only as "Netherlands".<br />
<br />
==Additional Notes==<br />
<br />
This guideline must not be used for live bootleg compilations, which are releases that collect tracks from different live sessions, e.g. [[Release:bbf5373b-72e4-4f99-91c9-8467da030316|A Highway of Diamonds, Volume 1: The Never Ending Tour]] <br />
<br />
This guideline can be applied to releases which feature a complete live session and additional bonus tracks (those can be live tracks from other concerts or studio recordings), e.g. [[Release:eeca59f9-cf55-4aba-89f7-f4bae8247ff5|2002-05-02: Ahoy, Rotterdam, Netherlands (disc 2)]]<br />
<br />
==Rationale==<br />
<br />
In a lot of cases the most important information for live bootlegs is the date when the concert took place. Hiding this information for bootlegs where the person who compiled the release added a title means that it is harder to find a special recording of a live session, because live bootlegs often don't have a release date. <br />
<br />
Adding the venue is useful for finding all concerts an artist performed in one city over the years or all concerts that took place in a special location by using the search interface. Besides that this kind of information would be lost or nearly lost when it was added to the annotation. <br />
<br />
On the other hand, there are bootleg releases of special concerts that have a well known title. In those cases its normally appropriate to list them under their title only.<br />
<br />
==Examples==<br />
<br />
=== Live bootlegs without a title === <br />
<br />
;[[Release:5555caea-3de8-480b-9952-421471a62517|2002-05-02: Ahoy, Rotterdam, Netherlands (disc 1)]]<br />
<br />
=== Live bootlegs with a well-known title === <br />
<br />
;[[Release:07d62425-10da-4dc7-b20f-0c4e6c3f1c43|Gaslight Tapes]]<br />
: (may be replaced with a better one, as this is quasi-legitimate).<br />
;[[Release:4bdea6ad-1285-4097-9274-cfe96458cdaa|Elvis Has Just Left the Building]]<br />
: (A collection of live Elvis covers by Led Zeppelin spanning multiple dates. Should not be extended.) <br />
; [[Release:1c268fa3-6218-4ff4-8be7-c7a51200438f|1980-07-07: Eternal Magic: Eissporthalle, Berlin, Germany]]<br />
: A complete show, or at least all tracks from the same show, released under multiple titles [Eternal Magic, Heineken] can be extended with date/venue information, using the first or most common "title" of the bootleg.<br />
; [[Release:3d2d66bc-9073-42ed-b9d8-6d576e778cf7|1980-12-21: Before the Exile! Rainbow Theatre, London, UK]]<br />
: This shows how punctuation marks replace the colon. <br />
; [[Release:b48c4e7a-21ae-408d-88a3-b56e3d2e44da|1993-02-12 to 1993-02-26: Pachyderm Studios, Cannon Falls, MN, USA]]<br />
: A studio session bootleg spanning several consecutive dates.<br />
<br />
== History of this Guideline ==<br />
This guideline was first proposed in January of 2006. On March 3, 2010, proposal RFC-22 passed, and this guideline replaced [[Untitled Bootleg Style]].<br />

|-<br />
| '''$eq2, $ne2, $in2 functions''' || Each plugin adds a new function to taggerscript, to allow comparison of a variable against more than one string.<br />
Example: set %engineer% to "test" if the artist is equal to "foo", "bar", or "baz":<br />
$if($eq2(%artist%,foo,bar,baz),$set(engineer,test))<br />
|| [[User:BrianFreud| Brian Schweitzer]] || 0.12+ || No ||[http://hotfile.com/dl/111073105/173b6ae/in2.py.zip.html here] || See [http://forums.musicbrainz.org/viewtopic.php?id=2631 forum post] for details.<br />
|-<br />
| '''$p function''' || Adds an $p(string, unofficial) function to taggerscript. This works like the inverse of a \p{foo} regex using Unicode properties. In other words, it tells you what script a character belongs to. <br />
Usage:<br />
$p(%something%)<br />
$p(%something%, True)<br />
The second argument is optional. By default, it is set to False. When set to True, unofficial Unicode scripts (i.e. ConScript, etc.) are also checked.<br />

<div>*Bob Marley & The Wailers wasn't a collaboration; the name of the group was "Bob Marley & The Wailers". The same is true for Bill Haley & His Comets - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Haley_%26_His_Comets . Ie, either is equivalent to "Hootie & The Blowfish"; the current split in the table given is factually inaccurate. [[User:99.243.33.163|99.243.33.163]]<br />
**About Bob Marley: fair enough. I assumed, I guess wrongly, that since there's [[Artist:c9e99d40-4a2c-4ca7-ac5b-e842264ee271|The Wailers]], then there's at least a chance that BMatW becomes an NGS collaboration. In any case, I thought it was funny that BMatW doesn't follow the current guideline, and hasn't for years.<br />
*** The guideline was changed in March 2010, and that specifically changed the "correct" sortname for BM&TW. The old sortname was correct, per that version of the guideline (though there were multiple failed attempts to change it to "Marley, Bob & Wailers, The", on the same incorrect assumption that it was a collab.). After the change to the guideline, the sortname was changed to be correct per the new version - it looks like someone's since changed it to the wrong one again. I've just edited to fix it back to conform with the current guideline. [[User:99.243.22.211|99.243.22.211]] 19:00, 1 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
**About Bill Haley vs. Hootie: you're right (AFAIK). Neither is a collaboration, and neither is treated as one in the current or proposed Sortname Style. Why are they treated differently in the examples? Because, as I understand the current guideline, Bill Haley is a person while there is no "Hootie" in H&TB. So H&TB is treated as a single "name" while BH&HC is treated as a person with a backing/support band.[[User:Caller_number_six]]<br />
*** I don't follow the difference you're seeing? H&TB gets sortname "Hootie & the Blowfish", BH&HC gets "Haley, Bill & His Comets", and BM&TW gets "Marley, Bob and the Wailers". All three are consistent with each other (regardless of the 'personhood' of Hootie). Hootie isn't mentioned in 2a because, even if "Hootie" were a person, that name's only one word long, thus it still wouldn't be affected by 2a. (Same reason "The Sensational Alex Harvey Band" isn't also mentioned under 2a; it'd be redundant to the "Guideline 2a overriding guideline 2" mention just above.) 19:00, 1 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
***In any case, even if "The Blowfish" was a supporting band, it wouldn't change the sortname. But maybe I'll take H&TB out of the examples, since it's such a "corner case".[[User:Caller_number_six]]<br />
****All three were included because they've been the example corner cases used in various sortname style discussions in the past. [[User:99.243.22.211|99.243.22.211]] 19:00, 1 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
**The reason "collaborations" aren't mentioned in the guideline, current or proposed, is that (AFAIK) NGS collaborations won't ''have'' Sortnames, at least at first. [[User:Caller_number_six]]<br />
<br />
I'm unclear as to why there is a need to specially separate prefixes and suffixes. The goal of a sortname is to have like things sort together; why then is "John, Elton Sir" better than "John, Sir Elton"? [[User:99.243.22.211|99.243.22.211]] 19:00, 1 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Why the change to the "Name of a person in a group artist name" guideline? You're dropping the separator comma where a name has been removed - current guideline: "Hendrix, Jimi, The, Experience", this proposal: "Hendrix, Jimi, The Experience". (Ie, the "where doing so" bit of Typographical guideline #1) Taking the Elton John example above, it now becomes unclear whether "Sir" is a middle name or a prefix.

<br />
Typographical Guidelines #3 compared with #s 5-8 of the current guideline, there's a very different intent, and the proposed text is far less clear. The intent of the current guideline is that the resulting sortname be as close to a basic character set (A-Za-z0-9&ßÆ挜ij) latin script as possible. How "logical collation" would be interpreted, conversely, is unclear, and serves a different purpose. Specifically, dropping current guideline #6, wrapping it into proposed typographical guidelines #3, makes it far less clear if the correct sortname would be "49" or "fourty-nine". The same unclarity is created for "Spın̈al Tap", "10,000 Maniacs", "Maroon 5", "trance[]control", "My$t:c DJz" - pretty much any of the current guideline's examples which have stylized characters anywhere but at the beginning of the name. I understand intent #7, but first, these are guidelines, not rules, and second, the way to "simplify" isn't to simply leave such types of cases (which have been added to the guideline over time as they've been brought up on the style list) unaddressed. T Guideline #3 would perhaps address them far more clearly, but the "(if doing so allows an artist's name to be more logically collated)" exception pretty much cancels any of that clarity out.

Re articles, how is "would otherwise have been the first word in the sort-order" clearer than "beginning with"? (Ie, intent #6) [[User:99.243.22.211|99.243.22.211]] 19:00, 1 April 2011 (UTC)</div>99.243.22.211
