A Frogs' Brigade Editing Party

Help WANTED

We badly need help to smack down the list of discids to investigate. You don't need to speak french for most of them!

  • some of them require intensive researchs in language X (say: german)
  • some of them require specific knowledge of "genre" Y (say: classical)
  • some of them are simple homebrews, but most of them are a bit more tricky
  • some of them may be simply ok...
We also need help hunting label/cat/EAN we still miss for some releases.

What is this?

Motivation for this event: in the mailing list 

Future: will be moved back into FrenchArtists whenever we think it's appropriate. 

Original myth of Φειδιππιδης:

So, when all-french-releases-typos were dust, all cried, "To the irc chan!

Run, Pheidippides, one edit more! the meed is thy due!

MusicBrainz is saved, thank Pan, go shout!" He flung down his shield

Ran like fire once more: and the space 'twixt the fennel-field

And MB was stubble again, a field which a fire runs through,

Till in he broke: "Rejoice, we fixed-em-all!" Like wine through clay,

Joy in his blood bursting his brainz, he died - the bliss!

Thanks to:

  • juahe for contributing his time and windows/flash9 box to dig data from these horrible non-linux friendly websites
  • inhouseuk for contributing the raw-dump-artist-with-fr-release-report

Notes

Editing suggestions:

Common typos:

  • oeil for œil
  • coeur for cœur
  • soeur for sœur
  • moeurs for mœurs

Mangled collabs and feats:

  • There are a lot of duos/trios/grouped artists names that are either incomplete or simply bogus (search the VA albums, especially taratata stuff)
  • tracks titles containings "(avec " or "(en duo avec" are indeed "feats"

Investigate and report:

You may use the artist "Television Theme Songs" to "dump" in TV comp albums actually sorted under bogus artists.

Abbreviations used in the status list:

  • D = Discogs, W = Wikipedia, M = Myspace, O = Official website, F = Fan site, I = IMDB, MM = MusicMoz

Global status

Discids have been reviewed for all artists actually linked in that page.

Have been searched exhaustively, up to (including) letter A of the TODO list:

  • Discogs & Wikipedia (artist entries)
  • Discogs & Wikipedia.fr (release entries), but Air, Adamo and Jacques Brel
  • Aliases
  • Collabs ARs have been set
  • Artist dates

From letter B to E of the todo list (included):

  • Discogs & Wikipedia (artist entries)

Discids to investigate

May, or may not be homebrews (don't know what to think):

One of the two is certainly bogus, but it's difficult to tell which:

First id has four tracks offsetted by 30sec~1minute, I can't decide if it's legit or not (note: I know for sure the second id *is* legit):

Strange stuff, part 1: A few tracks offsetted:

Probably ok, but needs confirmation:

Awaiting merge before further verification of the ids:

Waiting for the dust to come down...:

Atrocious mess:

Positively awful, some work already done:

Stuff...:

Missing label / cat data
