History:Frogs Tidying Marathon
File:mbmarathon.jpg |
A Frogs' Brigade Editing Party
What?
On 2006/09/04, the french MusicBrainz editors decided to take the control back over the french part of the database, by organising a joint tidying effort during the month of September, in order to drastically enhance the quality of all our (beloved :p) french artists.
You can find the original annoucement and details in the mailing list.
During the time of this event, this page helps them maintaining a list of done/ongoing tidying efforts.
It will certainly be moved back to the FrenchArtists page when we'll be done.
Notes
Abbreviations:
- D = Discogs, W = Wikipedia, M = Myspace, O = Official website, F = Fan site, I = IMDB, MM = MusicMoz
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
- Discids
- Collabs ARs have been set
- Artist dates
Need to be further investigated:
- Aliases to verify:
- Les Ondes d'Ombres
- Dubious discids:

- Stuff for which we still miss label/catalog data:
- Channel [V Thailand, Volume 1]
- Comment je vis
- Sound Concierge #501: "Blanket"
- 10 ans de Saravah (disc 2)
- Amour foot
- Noël ensemble
- L'Intégrale 1970-1980, Volume 1
- Bobby Tutti Frutti
- Anthologie de la chanson française enregistrée 1969
- Sans trahir
- Punk Rawk Explosion 13
- The Atomic Café: French Cuts
- The Atomic Café: French Cuts
- Swinging Mademoiselle, Volume 1 (miss track times)
- Ultra Chicks, Volume 5: Chicks à Gogo!
- La Soirée des Enfoirés 96
- Tu es mon autre
Transversal editing suggestion
- oeil for œil
- coeur for cœur
- soeur for sœur
- moeurs for mœurs
- There are a lot of duos/trios/grouped artists names that are either incomplete or simply mangled (search the VA albums)
- tracks titles containings "(avec " or "(en duo avec" are indeed "feats"
Ultimate quality
This is somewhat fictitious... Anyhow, it's the same as good (see below), plus:
- releases have all sort of ARs goodies :)
- artist has a short biographic annotation
- TRM/Pweed are all correct
- all releases have been searched on discogs
- you're subscribed to the artist and plan on watching the incoming flow
Good quality
Criteria:
- All releases (including all VA releases):
- have spelling verified
- have good capitalization (with or without the debated "exceptions")
- have language and status verified and set
- have a release event
- have been searched on Amazon
- have at least a label name in annotation (means the release is not bogus/dubious), and ideally cat number + EAN
- no bogus discid
- Artist:
- artist name and sortname verified
- no bogus "ghost" for the artist in the db
- artist aliases have been verified
- artist birthdate/death date have been researched
- "collabs artists" has all his collab ARs set
- discogs and wikipedia pages have been searched/added (favor the fr wikipedia domain)
- no bogus NAT
- Radiate:
- all french artists from VA comp where this artist is present are present in this page
- all french artists having collaborated with this artist are present in this page
Note: some of the releases may not match the requested quality criteria. Still, the presence of the artist here means some time has been spent *researching* the information, even if the label/cat information is still missing.

Are not french artists
... though they ended up in this list for some reason we might need to guess before removing them definitely
