    Evergreen should be Evergreen :D
  • Silver Sands => Silver Sands
    Pop Molecule => Pop Molecule

    Thanks in advance...
  • Please consider fixing the tracks I listed in my last posting (that posting contains a link to an even older posting with unfixed tracks, by the way).

    Thank you :D
    :D

    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.

    Ogre You Asshole to "OGRE YOU ASSHOLE" (Source, source, source). Thanks!


    Musicbrainz.org disagrees with all the sources... I know a lot of japanese bands like to do things all caps and all, but I'm holding off on this one.


    ...! Lol, the official name is in all caps, but I guess it's no biggie. Anyway, can Last Night in Town and March On Electric Children be correctly capitalized, please?


    If the all caps is official, that needs to be pushed through on musicbrainz.

    Interestingly the "March on Electric Children" has the on not capitlized, but is is it not an adverb in this case and SHOULD be capitalized. Are we supposed to march on electric children (like on top of them) or March On Electric Children (as in to keep marching on?) I capitalized the O in this case. Need to push a change through music brainz.
  • thanks for fixing my last suggestions so speedily..

    Play2 Towers > 2 Towers

    please, and thank you!
  • All right I have finished all requests Except for all the songs that had the "with" in them. I need to look up capitalization guidelines on those, even with the wiki reference, I want to check musicbrainz.

    Now, for everyone in this thread. Before you post back saying "OMG YOU FORGOT TO CHANGE MINE CHANGE THEM PLEASE OKAY THANKS!" understand that we are facing a bug that is causing some of our changes to revert on their own. So there is a good chance that I did NOT forget and I was bit by the bug, so please be polite in bringing these back to our attention. One of the staff members is looking into this problem now.

    @capriconus. I got back through the older posts you referred to and got them changed. I hope they are not part of this bug I just mentioned.

    @everyone, make sure I did not give you a reason why I didn't change something.

    Just be polite bringing things back to our attention. This is not an easy thing to do, it takes time and patience to go through this thread and try to get things right. I wish I got a penny for every letter I've changed!

    Thanks a lot. I have another request, if people could please limit change requests to something like 5/post, it would make managing going through the changes easier and help me not miss ones in posts as well. It's easier to look at shorter posts than long ones with 8 or more change requests in one.

    Thanks again, Happy scrobbling.
  • That's really cool of you to take all this time to satisfy all our fastidious requests, tank you ^^!

    So I have another error for you to change, could you please change immi to immi? You can see on her website the proof: http://www.im-mi.jp/.
    Thanks in advance!

    No, it seems like you've fixed them permanently this time :D And please forgive my persistence, I was just worried my posting might have been overlooked when more and more newer stuff got fixed whereas "my" tracks still remained faulty.
    So thanks, great job! :D
    :D

    No problem. My frustration was aimed at no one in particular.

    If they don't revert I beat mannan and I traded missing yours. Nothing wrong with persistence, this bug has just been driving me batty :D

    Happy scrobbling...

    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

    PlayDancing in the Dark -> Dancing In The Dark
    PlayCosmic Journey -> Cosmic Journey

    All the 1st letters in capital because this is how the album tags look like:
    Album page

    Thank you!
  • Hi, guys. Thanks for changing Celia and The Mutations to Celia And The Mutations a while back (shortly before the site update). Unfortunately, it has gone back to how it was before. Please have another go, when you get the chance.

    Cheers, Rob
