Artist Annotation

Overview

An Artist annotation is user contributed text attached to a specific artist entry.

{i} You may consult either the Annotation or Artist page for general informations about them.

Artist annotation content

An artist annotation may hold any information about an artist that does not fit into the fields of the database. The following uses are suggested:

Trivia
Historical facts: birthplaces / founding places, biographies
Additional disambiguation: identically named artists are usually distinguished thanks to a short artist comment. Sometimes, though, it may be useful to provide additional information, or special warnings.
Miscellaneous editing warnings or informations: clean-up status, TODO list...
Genre information
Notes about special handlings of this artist and/or facts avoiding common mistakes: for example, links to releases that cannot be found easily or are known under different names
Related works that cannot be linked using AdvancedRelationships, like works dedicated to this artist (not to be confused with tributes)
This list is not exhaustive: you may use a label annotation for pretty much anything you can think of - as long as it matches the purpose of Annotations, and relates to the artist entry to which it's attached.
