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.

Note about the "quality" levels: for all levels, it's implied that you must check the artist name spelling and sortname, that the artist type is set, and that the artist doesn't have a mispelled "ghost" in the database

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:
    • no bogus artist alias
    • artist birthdate/death date have been searched
    • artist has all his collab ARs set
    • no bogus NAT
  • Radiate:
    • all french artists from VA comp were this artist is present 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.

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)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • tracks titles containings "(avec " or "(en duo avec" are indeed "feats"
