Is "Collaboration" really the best term to use for this project? IIRC there is already some issues with the term "collaboration" in MB. Does anyone have any better names for this project? Perhaps Artist Cleanup of the Month or something that actually describes what this actually project is without combining words/terms used in other places of MB. I'm marking this article/project as [[Bad Terminology|BadTerminology]]. --[[User:BrianG|BrianG]]
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">I was thinking the same thing myself, "Artist Cleanup of the Month" sounds good but I think I'll wait and see what others think. --[[User:Mdhowe|Mdhowe]]

<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">While personally I think the word Collaboration is fine, I understand the objection. however it has sorta established itself as the term we've come to use for it, it's to bad that brian didn't have this idea right at the beginning : ( ~[[User:mo|mo]]
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">I definitely think another name is needed.. Not familiar with Collab of the Month 'project' until now, I had to find the wiki page to see what this was. "Collaboration" though by definition is correct is confusing partly by it's use in AR's. If you want to keep it use something like "Artist Cleanup Collaboration of the Month". Though like above "Artist Cleanup of the Month" or "Artist Cleanup Project of the Month" sounds better to me. --[[User:TeleGUISE|teleGUISE]]

OK, so should we vote on if we want the name to change then? just ad your name name under one of the options with a new '*'

Do we change the name?
* Yes, to "Cleanup of the Month" (preserving the shorthand CotM)

** [[User:BrianG|BrianG]]
** [[User:BrianFreud|BrianFreud]]

** add your name

* No, keep it as "Collaboration of the Month"
** add your name

* Yes, but I want a different name (please also write that.)

Cleanup of the Month

  • Attention.png This month's collaboration is , things that need to be done are at /SubPage and you can discuss issues in [the forum].

Every month or so a new artist was chosen from a list of nominations to be the subject of Cleanup of the Month. The aim is was work as a team to provide the most complete discography possible for a major artist in about one month. Good candidates for CotM should be well-known artists that have messy and incomplete MusicBrainz entries.

Each collaboration can be organised and discussed in it's own wiki page and forum topic.

Selecting the next Cleanup of the Month

To nominate an artist for next months collaboration, list the artists name at the end of the list below. To vote for a nomination, enter your name underneath the description.

Nominations for Cleanup of the Month

  • The Who
    • I think it would be a good challenge; normal bootlegs and official bootlegs (if there is such a thing).

Nominations for Collaboration of the Month: June 2007

  • The Dubliners
    • Has appeared on millions on VA releases, have appeared on UK hit charts a few times, has released thousands of compilations, and some albums (in at least LP, MC, and CD formats). Has also had several line-up changes through the years (due to both deaths and more mundane causes). If possible, June would be a good month for me to dive into The Dubliners, preferably with the help of others. -- FrederikSOlesen 09:23, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Would have been a nice project. I'm not sure if it'll end up happening though... drama sucks.  :( -- BrianSchweitzer 13:05, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Previous Collaborations of the Month


Discussions

ok, the rename has taken place, and two candidates have emerged for (a delayed) CotM of July:

  • The Dubliners
  • Ennio Morricone

Time-frame

I'm starting to think that one month isn't long enough considering the amount of moderators helping out and the amount of time we can all spend on MB (or want to spend on the one artist). Maybe two months is better? We could probably keep the 'of the Month' extension though, if an artist is cleaned up sufficiently in one month we can move on. --Mdhowe

  • I wouldn't mind it being "open" for more than one month. -- FrederikSOlesen 05:56, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
