Drums vs. drumset

I only really visit MusicBrainz and this forum so finding the IRC channels is a bit hit and miss. Trouble is I am trying to visit here to relax around my music hobby and get away from the computers. :smiley:

Thanks @Freso for the links. Have read those chunks now.

When the @FresoBot has been updated, I would think it would be useful if you can have a ā€œtargeted modeā€. Something that allows a whole Artist - either Band or Single person - to be targeted for ā€œcorrectionā€. This would then allow a swap from ā€œMembranononophoneā€ to ā€œDrum Set (drums)ā€ for Rock bands.

And if a bulk rename happens, the same bot can help undo those bands who have accidentally become ā€œDrum Set (drums)ā€ instead of ā€œdrumā€.

Maybe have a thread dedicated to ā€œInstrument Correctionsā€. Then an artist or band that is spotted as being heavily wrong can be corrected quicker. This would also cover the issue @hiccup mentioned above where ā€œguitar familyā€ has slid into an artist.

When looking at Nirvana saw lots of worryingly loose ā€œbassā€ entries too. This would be again handy if we can say "For the Band ā€œNirvanaā€ change all entries of ā€œBassā€ to ā€œBass Guitarā€. (I did see previous discussions on this topic too)

Human eyes will always be superior to a bot. So Human Checks are needed. Humans requesting the corrections seem important to me. The human should always have the last say. :slight_smile:
