Re: [mb-style] Guidelines for Events

2015-03-28 Thread Héctor Arroyo 
Hi,

I would like to bring into the attention of the Style Council the need for
some sort of Event Guidelines in order to reach some consensus when linking
locations, events, artists and recordings. I've added a ticket on Jira [1]
with my thoughts.

I would really like to hear oppinions from other editors so we can
formalise a set of guidelines on the wiki and /doc pages.

[mb-style] Preferred way of adding festivals held on sparse dates and other things related to events guidelines

2015-01-16 Thread Héctor Arroyo 
Hi,

ATM I'm adding data for an upcoming series of concerts that will be held on
my hometown [1] and I'm not sure if I should link them together using a
parent Festival event or if I should use a Series instead. The fact is the
concerts will span two weeks (January 30-February 7), but only on some days
of the week (Fridays, Weekends and one Thursday).

So, should we handle these cases using a parent Festival event (even if
most days on the interval between the begin and end dates will have no
events at all) or should we use a Series event for linking the sparse
events together? I would go with the first approach (and even I've started
to convert a festival I entered earlier as a Series into parent-child
event ARs [2]), but I would like to hear opinions in favor of one way or
another.


Also, are there any plans for a guideline for events, or are there any
guidelines for them that I'm unaware of?

   - Things like title standarization, when/how to use parent-child events,
   how to set dates etc etc.
   - I've also concerns about the data duplication that happens on
   festivals when artists can potentially be linked 2 to 3 times (on the day
   they perform, on a child event for the artist performance itself and on the
   parent event that links each festival day together).
