10-06 Wim T. Schippers (83), in addition to his activities as a visual artist and maker, creator and scriptwriter of television programs, was also active as a singer and songwriter. I also look back with great pleasure on his 'translations' of English hit songs, such as 'Rinkel mijn bel' (Tingelingeling).

[Edit]
I suddenly remember 'Hanging on the phone' :-)

Thanks. There were still old groups of items written under Various artists and Various. I have now changed all of those to Diverse kunstenaars as well, so that everything is neatly together. Various artists and Various are now at 0, so they will disappear.

ronvanderlinden I removed it. The translation - and as the English site indicates - is various artists

I have something I've been wondering about for a while. Why does it say "multi artistes" after diverse artists?
I assume this concerns a translation into English? But then it should be multi-artists.
But perhaps there is another reason why it is named that.

I will reject that change!
And I will ask Herman to complete the scans.

After very thorough inspection, it appears there is indeed a very small defect on the back of the sleeve of my copy. So I am creating a new item.
The fact remains that image 4 of the above-mentioned item is incorrect.

I would create a new item
Ask Herman to complete the scans.
Then we are left with the problem of approaching those who possess this item (which ones)?
The original entry is really one of the first and he was so happy then that he two
Scans had
(I have no idea if the cover is the same as your copy?)
And do there need to be an attachment?

Hi guys
What do I do with #9318 Alan Parsons Project - Tales of Mystery and Imagination?
Images 3 and 4 show a different copy of the same album. Naturally, both exist. I purchased the one shown in image 4.
Should I replace image 3 now? Or will you delete image 4 and should I create a new item?

Now I want to add Ray : Do You Think... (CDS)... butttt
I see Ray written on 2 compilation CDs.
Raymond Slijngaard has been entered on the 1 (without pseudonym after it)
On the other RAY (without pseudonym or real name)
Is it no longer the intention to do it this way?
Slijngaard, Raymond (Ray Slijngaard, Ray, 2 Unlimited, Ray & Anita)

It is helpful (and in itself clearer, so that you have the right one) if the pseudonyms follow the real name.
Because there are more dogs named Fikkie.

I use/used: real surname, first name, followed by -where applicable- the stage name: (first name, surname)(because the name is sort of "not real")
Should a stage name after the real name also be: surname, first name?

I also think it works well and is pleasant. I did Wieteke van Dort (I am at the D), and if you now search for, for example, Wieteke, you get to see Wieteke van Dort, Tante Lien, and De deftige dame neatly grouped together as artists. And you choose one of the three.

All items that, for example, Prince Rogers Nelson has collaborated on as an artist are now split into Prince and TAFKAP (and a few others, I believe), although you do not get the artist TAPKAP as a search result if you search for his real name .

That was correct; the reason was that only Prince had been added to TAFKAP as a name variant. That has been adjusted, and now if you search for his real name or his other names, you will see all the items he has worked on as an artist . The same applies if you search for just Prince or TAFKAP.

Please note: I am of the opinion that this is in principle the correct approach (the name on the item should be leading, even for pseudonyms in other categories), but the current structure of the database is inadequate to do so without creating other problems.

Agreed, but we have to deal with the current structure, and then this is the best possible option.

Adjusting aliases/artist names is time-consuming, which is why we adjust the most important things (artists) first.

Now, regarding the Artists, you are talking about three names for Prince.
But he has 31 different names under Composers, Lyricists, and Producers. (Not all of them are listed under LD yet; 8 so far, there should actually be more by now)
What happens to that then.

As you know, Frans and I are working on placing the artist name used for a record as the first visible name in the Music database. For Name Variation (so not visible), the actual full name is always used plus the other artist names used by him/her.
Do I understand correctly that there is a consensus on this within the administrators' group of this section?
The Handbook mentions other rules.

The original rationale for using the actual name instead of the artist's name was the desire to group all items by the same artist under a single heading. (Also in categories such as Books and Comics.)
All items that, for example, Prince Rogers Nelson has collaborated on as an artist are now split into Prince and TAFKAP (and a few others, I believe), although you do not get the artist TAPKAP as a search result if you search by his real name . And so, you can no longer generate a single comprehensive list of items under all his artist names.

Please note: I am of the opinion that this is in principle the correct approach (the name on the item should be leading, even for pseudonyms in other categories), but the current structure of the database is inadequate to do so without creating other problems.

And another 28 Tinas among the Artists
It really makes you sick with all these Tinas on the name list.

There are more than 250 artists named Smith. Regardless of the order of the first and last names, the problem with common names remains the same. What we can solve, however, is using the name that appears on the record, so that even a non-expert can find the mentioned artist in the A/Z list.

Hi guys
Can you combine Curly, Alexander and Breemer, Harm - Alexander Curly ? Because he is listed as two separate artists.

I really wonder who comes up with something like that, or who asks to do it this way.
Normally, I think it's the last name first and then the first name everywhere at LD.
So then it becomes, for example, if one takes Tina from the Artists
Tina Adair
Tina Arena
Tina Bride
Tina Brooks
Tina Chopp
Tina Cousins
And another 28 Tinas among the Artists
It really makes you sick with all these Tinas on the name list.

Is there anyone who can shed light on the artist/band Stephen Jones (Roxy) listed at #1061297 ? I cannot find those names anywhere in the images of that item.
Very confusing, since there is also a band called Roxy .
