yes. go to the site and click on music. where is livejournal.coms section regarding music? (hint: there isn't one.)

Just my two cents (a bit late, I know). ARs aren't about the music, that's what the album/artist/etc. views are for. ARs are for mentioning relevant information about the album or artist. It doesn't have to be find their music at url, it can be, find more information on them at url. A blog (LiveJournal, Wordpress, Xanga, or completely custom (or even static pages) design) is entirely as relevant for an AR as a MySpace band page is. ARs are not about where to find music. It's about anything RELATED TO the artist/album. ___ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style

I think the number of editors adding ARs for Russian artists (and the number of Russian artists) is probably correspondingly smaller than the number of editors who were adding ARs for US artists (and the number of US artists). So this doesn't speak to the importance of LJ URLs per se, just to the relative marginalization of Russian artists on MB as a whole (I would guess that there are less than a dozen editors working on Russian artists in anything that could be considered an active way). I understand that, I just feel that Ilya is making statements which we can't verify as we can't read Russian and the database doesn't really show that people are entering these URLs and need a better type to describe them. He complains that we're not making the distinction between blogs and communities, yet what proof, other than what Ilya says, do we have to prove we need to make such a distinction? There's always going to be cases where we fail to make the distinction between two things, but if we create new types for every single one, it would just be a big confusing mess. Currently, we don't actually ADD anything, we're GENERALIZING MySpace relation to include other social networking services. So your argument adding lots new types is bad is correct but irrelevant. ___ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
