Last.fm changes the case of tags (incorrectly)

and bleh, you might think http://www.last.fm/music/Lard/_/War+Pimp+Renaissance would be correct, but having just ripped this cd, i happen to know that the interestingly spelled http://www.last.fm/music/Lard/_/War+Pimp+Renissance is actually the correct version.

EDIT: nm read teh box, seems to be a ripping/build in tag typo. ignore this one.

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.



Sorry, dude I was in a hirry last time. I now notify myself on what I do. in the document i list them in.

I totally agree about the wiki business, i am doing all what i can. Are others though? There is a group for 'wiki improvement' aswell if your interested. (I can't advertise on here, so look at my page) lol rules.

anyway, in my next post i only will list 5 lol. sorry about, must of missed the 'rules' for this.

Thanks Studogvetmed for the others! You're right, that's the right way to write the tags in French :)

Only made it through to this post http://www.last.fm/forum/21713/_/392009/39#f7199979 as my browsers acting up when loading pages again, so it needs a restart and I cried when I saw how long the album katasta requested changes to was (but I will get to it eventually).

I used french standards on the following, all lower after the first... I may not of done it perfectly. French speakers step in and suggest better if needed.

Granny green. I relented on the I hate myself.... song as I mentioned previously. It appears to have been bitten by the reversion bug.

Changed the album to all lower. PM me the musicbrainz edit ID, I will vote yes on the addition there.

Others that appear to have possibly been bitten by the reversion bug:

I've changed the Dancing in the Dark one THREE times. It ain't going to stay. Sorry.

Remember this thread is only about capitlization, not bigger mistagging issues like misspellings.

Is it possible to match 2 artists page? Because there is just an emphasis missing between the 2 pages. It's the same artist.

http://www.lastfm.fr/music/L%C3%A9a+Castel
http://www.lastfm.fr/music/Lea+Castel

Match it to Léa Castel please! Thanks.
