==Overview== |
|||
A [[Label]] [[Annotation]] is user contributed text attached to a specific label entry. |
|||
==Suggested Content== |
|||
A '''Label Annotation''' can hold information about a label that does not fit into the fields of the database. |
|||
The following uses are suggested: |
|||
* '''Trivia''': |
|||
** ''Prestige'' was known as "The Junky Label" |
|||
* '''Textual historical facts''': |
|||
** ''Debut'' catalog was offered to ''Fantasy Records'' by [[Artist:f3b8e107-abe8-4743-b6a3-4a4ee995e71f|Charles Mingus]] as a "wedding present" |
|||
* '''Additional disambiguation''': [[Identically Named Labels|identically named labels]] are usually distinguished thanks to a short [[Label Comment|label comment]]. Sometimes, though, it may be useful to provide additional information, or special warnings. |
|||
** There are at least four different ''Dial Records'', and you should be extra careful when deciding to which you attribute a release. |
|||
* '''Miscellaneous editing warnings or informations''': |
|||
** ''BYGActuel'' is correct and should not be modified to ''Actuel'' |
|||
* '''Additional comment about the state of the informations attached to the label entry''': |
|||
** Badly lacking historical information about ''Bird Notes''. If you have some information, please provide them or drop a mail to editor ''dmppanda'' |
|||
* '''To do list''': list of pending work, draft, data fragments awaiting to be properly added. You should use the word '''TODO''', as to make your list easily find-able via a search on annotations. |
|||
* '''Open issues to resolve''': if you think something is wrong, but you're not sure or don't want to fix it yourself, you can write a short note to warn others about it. You may use the word '''FIXME''' before your note. |
|||
* '''Data that can't fit in the fields of the database, but should, due to a current technical limitation''': we actually have no way to specify non continuous multiple periods of activity for a label. |
|||
** ''Blue Note'' went dormant during the late 70s, before it was revived during the 80s. |
|||
==Content you mustn't add== |
|||
You '''mustn't''' add copyrighted content copied from other resources, be they online or printed. More generally, you really shouldn't copy/paste any kind of content, unless it's purely factual. |
|||
==Label annotation style== |
|||
At that time there is no official (neither recommended) style for '''Label Annotations'''. We may later provide such style indications if there is really a need for them. |
