Good to know. I thought it should be similar to Spanish, i.e. only the first letter of the title should be capitalized. Apparently not.

Yeah, it is not similar to Spanish at all. In case of doubts, feel free to contact me, I'd be glad to help y'all

https://www.metal-archives.com/users/Ve ... 20SubHuman adds wikipedia + discogs links, facebook pages to individual artists, at least one bogus label (fucking doomgáves records), several album versions that have been deleted (saint vitus danzig, oak ...), one Solstice demo "version" that looks identical to the one already listed, minus a more "extended" J-card scan...

not sure about this one either: https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/122973//718686

48% well meaning, but in need of schooling...

I've already sent him several messages telling him to stop doing most of these things already, which he has seems to have stopped doing since then. Sent him a message about adding Wikipedia links and told him to read the site rules before making more edits.

this is like a time crime, but while going through cd booklets I realized https://www.metal-archives.com/users/spankee 's lineup on https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/A ... abs_lineup was entirely inaccurate (not just "current lineup"), so maybe that wasn't his only offence...

also have a look at this https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/ ... ark/759001 and fix as appropriate. the exact credit reads "layout and artwork by tobi & mark at locust constructions"...

He doesn't seem to completely understand the additional notes section

https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/C ... neo/720088

https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/D ... eam/426476

https://www.metal-archives.com/users/dimiarch

Has the habbit of adding links with "band name @ site name" instead of simply the site's name

I just caught him adding a guesswork-lineup to an album:
https://www.metal-archives.com/users/Salpius

for this album:
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/K ... ker/721387

I have a scan of the booklet given to me by Wolfmond Production which is going to re-release it in jewelcase format next week.

Image: http://www.bilder-upload.eu/show.php?fi ... 465097.png

Edit: fixed, T.R. was, as of the info I have, not part of the recording, they are currently still searching for a replacement bass player

Also looks fishy on this one. Like he just hit those boxes and confirmed, didn't even make it look somewhat better than on the band page
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/W ... own/657127

I've already previously warned this guy for adding guess work line-ups, but he seems to have ignored it. I've flagged his attention to a report and asked for his source of the line-up. If ignores it or can't provide one, I'm going to send him a critical warning.

EDIT: Warned.

Added 2 duplicates within one week which are his first 2 changes after 3 years of silence.
https://www.metal-archives.com/users/LiquidxFantasy

One got nuked already, the other one is this with a very minor change to the recording info (changed "ocations" to "occasions":
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/S ... all/722183

Added raw links to Notes and added versions with raw links in Notes (I've cleaned all the links):
https://www.metal-archives.com/users/vger

Sent him a message.


Nuked the other version, but not going to send him a message/warning just yet. If he continues, feel free to re-post and I will.


Sent him a friendly reminder.

From what I saw, he's also sloppily adding a lot of bandcamp releases

Like, do we need 2 of those? (also: Bandcamp was founded in 2008)
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/W ... ath/720816

or 2 of this?
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/T ... nal/720909

Other duplicates of him:
edited a track to reflect that the song is a cover: https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/R ... ity/705051
2 digital versions, one CDBaby, one Bandcamp: https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/D ... ecy/719095
Wrong release date, correct one has also been added by you, Stormy: https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/S ... ent/720910
Completely absurd release date + potential duplicate since there's another digital version (also added by him and also incorrect release date, I guess): https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/D ... ogs/720914

And another absurd release date for a bandcamp version:
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/D ... und/719072

I think, those are all the really obvious ones, don't want to dig into every single edit of him, but looks all pretty sloppy

https://www.metal-archives.com/users/Salpius

Tell this dude to not add Judas Iscariot lyrics.

Warned. The one album he edited, Heaven in Flames, seems to have been the only release with a mod warning about the lyrics, so I've also edited the mod warning on Judas Iscariot's page itself to include the fact that lyrics should not be added.

Disappointed by wojty666 (Metal demon, almost 82 kilopoints)
This Album shows he still doesn't know about capitalization rules and adding producers, mixing/mastering personnel, etc. to "miscellaneous staff" menu.

https://www.metal-archives.com/users/KMorket

added 5(!) duplicates to this:
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/A ... gra/552256

Seems to be a band member or something.
He seems to have added duplicates in the past (~3 years ago)

Also the album looks badly added in general, so I cleaned that up.
Only the duplicates need to be nuked.

Nuked the duplicates and sent him a message.

FRANKSTONE is back adding duplicates again
https://www.metal-archives.com/users/FRANKSTONE

2 for this:
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/M ... ock/712305

1 for this:
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/M ... ong/723775

Previously:

noone of more than 30 moderators can't send him a message? noone corrects the errors?
great, men.
3 years ago you were much more agile....

next item:
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/G ... vil/721638
three duplicates for digital release: bandcamp, itunes, amazon
there's another one on google play, can I please add it too?

Added 3 duplicates in the last 3 days after some months of hiatus.
https://www.metal-archives.com/users/John%20Hartigan

anybody?
will someone at least remove duplicates I've mentioned in my last post?

And he continues. Another 3 duplicates

Nuked and sent a message.


Sent wojty a friendly reminder.

I noticed a user systematically adding lyrics to cover songs. Should this be encouraged or even allowed? Sometimes cover versions don't exactly follow the originals, so adding the lyrics as copy-paste from the originals is a guessing game.

Not a biggie, but could someone leave Taravilyaion a friendly reminder that it is called "Digipak", not "Digipack"?

Edit: thx

Message sent.

Added lyrics one by one: https://www.metal-archives.com/users/UnpureRec

Warned.

Hail.
Mallefcus does something strange with Arandu Arakuaa's lineup. He adds and removes (same) personnel.
Maybe I don't understand something, sorry.

I think he tries to merge the different roles of the individual members into one field and removed the therefor redundant entries.

He just confused Pífano with piano, but corrected that later, doesn't look too strange to me.

All he does is adding useless duplicates:

https://www.metal-archives.com/users/Willovan

His last 15(!) edits have all been duplicates that can be nuked.

Warned and duplicates nuked.

Could someone remind Pittdestroyer that we don't separate different coloured vinyl of the same version?
https://www.metal-archives.com/users/pittdestroyer

He separated 2 Angelcorpse vinyls over the past 2 days that were perfectly fine into 2 versions because of the vinyl colour.
Already reported one of them, the second one is this:
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/A ... ods/728177

Sent him a warning instead of a reminder message, as someone like him should definitely know better by now.

Downgrade that to a notice, Stormy. Listing different versions isn't his main specialty in the site's work. He usually asks me about the how tos for the different versions and I have a couple messages of his still unread in my inbox.

Sad with Helvede (Metal Lord !!!) who doesn't seem to know capitalization rules.
This album made me sad.

https://www.metal-archives.com/users/Tokarson

https://www.metal-archives.com/users/mynegation

These two need to be told not to add guessed lyrics. It was to the Batushka album.

Both have been warned by Hellblazer in March 2017. One seems inactive, the other doesn't edit that much. All fine as of now
