We can't change i -> y we can only change exact letters for letters in different cases. Titles with accident characters count as different we could not change e -> é for instance. We also can't change É to é.

I'll start working on some of the ones in the last pages. Don't know how far I will get.

Who takes care of this issue at last.fm?
It's really annoying e.g. in this case either parties expect different music.

thanks and kr

No one currently takes care of this issue. It is suggested to update the wiki of the incorrect artist with information about the correct one.

There is internal testing by staff to come up with systems to help moderate this issues in the future, but the perfect plan is still being worked on.

I have also slowly started through the back log.

Whew... Okay done. The bug is still in affect on some things it seems. As has been suggested everyone please do refer to the music brainz guidelines. That is what I go by here. Musicbrainz is my first source, Artist pages is my second (but would like musicbrainz back up as sometimes artist pages show "style" not "intent") and I tend to hate to look at myspace as proof.

Thank you to those who are keeping your posts with shorter requests. Those of you who aren't ;) Please try to limit each post request to say 5 requests. They are easier to handle even if this may mean the thread get's longer quicker, I like to have them in smaller chunks. I would appreciate your cooperation on that all :D You can post multiple requests in a row, but if you could limit them to five each that would be great for me.

Hey all you caps hunters, turn this energy into helping with wikis and images too! I see so many artists and tracks with these requests with no images and no wikis. if you are are passionate about the artist's caps, please help the community further by filling in these blanks. If you do I'll consider it a thank you for changing the caps for you where appropriate!

Okay the exceptions part from the last rounds of requests:

@Ton_7: re: Shitdisco, musicbrainz doesn't agree. Push a mod through there, then we'll talk. Myspace is not the end all be all of proof around here, I generally don't trust myspace as proof.

@Marrs70: Re: Mended By You, are we sure by should be lowercase, is it not an adverb her? You mended someone not that you were "by" someone mended?

@Ghozza: Need proof for hiphophobbyklub

@Anto-N: Need proof for Jonte, By2, Pushin and K.Will

@Maul of Sound: Pierced Arrows: Musicbrainz doesn't agree, though their discography appears all caps, there news area, media area, etc does not. I think this is a case of art, and not artists intent. Did standar first letter caps

Zola Jesus - not convinced, no musicbrainz entry

Pintandwefall - not convinced, musicbrainz doesn't agree. I'm not a fan of myspace as proof in general.

@trixietrinian: 2 Towers got a bug bite. I tried again.

@grannygreen: You show me musicbrainz proof and you got a deal on your all caps/all lower requests.

@fromheartache: I will not go back through your list of requests. The first 6 were already fixed. If you think you already requested some of these, courtesy would dictate that YOU go back through your list and ONLY submit the ones that are not yet fixed. Your cooperation and understanding on this is appreciated. With all these requests we don't have time to sift through things that are already fixed.

@Fyh: re: Tristan Tzara, I'm sorry, but I won't just go down a long track list of single artist. Some of those are mistagged, etc. Some may have special caps rules. It would take me to much time to dedicate to a single artist and weed out the good from the bad, and look up guidelines across things as that artist seems like they may have some mixed language titles in there. I would be happy to entertain short lists of suggested changes, though. Sorry to be picky, but this caps stuff takes a lot of time and dedication and I need you guys to help focus the project and not send me into a tailspin.

Okay. Thanks everyone.

JONTE (MB, Official Website)

PUSHIM (MB, Official Website)

K.will (MB, Single cover)

BY2 (Official Blog, Official Facebook group).

Marco Dos Santos has the Dos capital in musicbrainz.

Joe le taxi was a tough one as I thought it was a mixture of french and english, but Taxi is friench for Taxi, so...

I hate Japanese titles why can't they be capitalized like sensible titles? Do you have scans of the actual album list from a disc? I'd like to see musicbrainz entries to 100% support this idea. Ah heck, I know that Japanese artists like to do this... I'll make the changes and go back and fix the Orges question too. But do me a favor and do some musicbrainz adds, okay?
