^ It's up to genre teams, but I prefer to keep 2 artist pages as they are.

Now from time to time the same albums are added to both pages, if there will be Ontalva - Vespero page, albums will be added to 3 pages. Smile

Well, I think to i.e. Jon and Vangelis. But at least now I know where I can write my review.

By the way, even if "()" is easier than "[]" with an IT keyboard, there's a number of tracks whose title contain a part between brackets, so years ago an admin (I don't remember who) suggested me to use "[]"

You are right about capital characters, but also in the lineup I've never used your syntax.

I've added probably more than 400 albums during the years and I've always used "-" instead of "/" with no leading "-".

No problems in following a guideline, but honestly I've never noticed it.

I'm not saying that the whole world depends on the type of brackets, but album pages look better if they are in the same style.

Additionally, how would I ask non-collabs to follow guidelines, if some collabs don't care about them?

Anyway, as there are already two full-legth albums and a live, maybe we should give Angel Ontalva and Vespero a separate own page.

^ I just moved "Carta Marina" to Ángel Ontalva page. And also added Sea Orm Liventure (as Ángel Ontalva & Vespero)

As for "Sada", you may see the difference. This is from your addition:

1. uwasa no onna [07:20]

2. theme for sada [06:24]

3. her eyes sparkled in a strange way [06:54]

4. day of truth [06:27]

5. a sense of clarity [08:26]

6. futari kiri [09:59]

Total Time 45:30

Line-up / Musicians

Ángel Ontalva - guitar

Alexander Kuzovlev - guitar

Vitaly Borodin - violin, piano

Alexey Klabukov - keys, synths

Arkady Fedotov - bass, synth, noises

Ivan Fedotov - drums

This one made according to guidelines:

1. Uwasa no Onna (7:20)

2. Theme for Sada (6:24)

3. Her Eyes Sparkled in a Strange Way (6:54)

4. Day of Truth (6:27)

5. A Sense of Clarity (8:26)

6. Futari Kiri (9:59)

Total time 45:30

Line-up / Musicians

- Ángel Ontalva / guitar

- Alexander Kuzovlev / guitar

- Vitaly Borodin / violin, piano

- Alexey Klabukov / keys, synths

- Arkady Fedotov / bass, synth, noises

- Ivan Fedotov / drums

Though that's not the point. I'll ask Admins to delete the album from Vespero page.

Sorry, which is the ignored guideline? I see now that the previous collaboration album is disappeared from the VESPERO page.

Is it possible that an admin has deleted that one (Carta Marina) instead of mine?

My entry is "Sada" and it's still there.

One error I've just made: After getting a PM from Vespero for a review, I added their last collaboration with Angel Ontalva to the Vespero discog (as in Bandcamp).

After that, I've had a sudden thought and I have checked Angel's page. Of course tha album "Sada" was already there.

I can reuse my entry for the next album I'll have to add, but as there's another "Angel Ontalva end Vespero" album under Vespero's page, I'm in doubt also abut that one.

If I were Roy, I'd think to a "link", so that collaboration albums can appear on both the artists pages but all the reviews are related to a single db entry.

I know that's not an easy change to the code and it's unlikely to happen.

Anyway, as soon as I add an album, I'll remove the duplicate.

There seems to be two entries for the band Elegant Simplicity:

Couldn't albums be overwitten as well?

Thing is Blackbirch has albums added already to them and I can't delete the albums. Else I would indeed just overwrite the bandname with another one

Looks like Blackbirch will need to be deleted but we cannot do that.
