Re: [mb-style] RFC: "changed name to" AR

Actually this _is_ probably a matter much easier solved by (lots) of changes to the database. We'd probably need an "artist" object that can have many names (both in sequence, for name changes, and in parallel, for aliases maybe). Releases could be linked to that generic artist. Their "artist nam

From: "Rob Keeney" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The fact that an artist wants to go back and change their past should not create a constraint on MB. Another illustrative example that I'm more familiar with is Wendy (nee Walter) Carlos. While I respect her wishes to be now known as Wendy even to the poi

Folks -- I'm also quite concerned about this proposal, and what it means to artists who have changed their names during their careers *and chosen to retroactively apply that name to their earlier recordings*. The artist that I've spent the most time looking at is the Irish performer who was

Re: [mb-style] RFC: "changed name to" AR

I think an important element of my initial proposal was ignored in the discussion---though maybe I didn't express it very well: The point is, I'm _not_ trying to create a guideline for "what to do with a band's releases when the band changes name". That's for the editors and artist subscribers t
