Cleanup of the Month

  • Attention.png This month's cleanup is a little different, it is the SpecialPurposeArtist, unknown, things that need to be done are at [[Cleanup Of The Month/[unknown]|/[unknown]]] and you can discuss issues there or 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).
  • John Williams
    • Similar to Morricone in the number of entries, and the types of issues. Also, there are at least 8 different John Williams in the database, so easy potential for incorrect artist attributions between them.
  • [[[Artist:6d16f02b-5b1e-40bb-a623-d51f6aebe623|Bollywood]]]
  • [[[Artist:a0ef7e1d-44ff-4039-9435-7d5fefdeecc9|Musical]]]
  • [[[Artist:d6bd72bc-b1e2-4525-92aa-0f853cbb41bf|Soundtrack]]]
    • "Month of the Special Purpose Artist" -- BrianSchweitzer 03:43, 02 September 2007 (UTC)
      • Ooh, i like this idea. --kuno.
  • Non-Album Tracks
    • SenRepus suggested in IRC that we have a CotM specifically for NATs, to clean the accumulated ones that are junk, or have since been released on official releases. -- BrianSchweitzer 03:43, 02 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart -- BrianSchweitzer 05:51, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Benny Goodman and his "boys", orchestras, trio, quartet, sextet, septet, and collaborations. This needs some serious clean-up! -AaronCooper [2008-01-31]
    • +1 -- If anything just to see Benny Goodmans name in the IRC channel topic ;) -BrianG [2008-02-05]

Previous Collaborations/Cleanups of the Month



Discussions

Mozart: I'd be hesitant to suggest classical, but track titles are now all cleaned up, save for ~1650 tracks which are so badly identified ("Allegro", "The Magic Flute", etc) that I can't correct them without knowing what the releases are. It's the second largest non-SPA in the database, and close to 75% of all releases have no performer info ARs or release events. A good half of them were added on expiration (0:0). Likely more than a few dupes still hiding in there, as well. -- BrianSchweitzer 05:51, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

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)
  1. Due to growing pains of the Musicbrainz Community and the complexity of Bob Marley's musicantry, and insufficient interest in CotM at large, Bob Marley's entry(ies) where not completed satisfactionary. More about this in (history I page I have yet to write).
