Yeah, colon is the appropriate subtitle punctuation according to the guidelines

The colon is, not the semicolon (although that one is used to separate composers from performers in classical album artists).

Doh, that’s what I meant. Brain fart.

Actually, we aren’t required to use the colon if there’s already an alternative dividing punctuation mark ("-" in this case), see https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Titles#Subtitles.

@psychoadept please, re-read the guideline more carefully. There’s a part about alternative dividing punctuation marks as well as one example that uses “-”.

@reosarevok re:https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/STYLE-837 - told you that the example wasn’t enough and people would still insist on using colons :wink:

yer ill use the colon because the only place iv seen any thing used is on the websites if they use any thing there nothing on the album its self (on the ones i have any way) they just change the writing stile on them. for the Subtitles

Sure, if it already has punctuation we’ll use that. I don’t think I mistated (aside from the semi colon part, lol). The guideline still says use a colon unless there’s already other punctuation, and in this case there’s not. The exclamation point comes before the 10, so it’s not a divider.

I guess I was confused by “Psalty Kid’s Praise 10 - Salvation Celebration!” which came from Amazon. My post should be ignored, then.

I would never follow the the text layout of a shop. Especially Amazon. Many of these older CDs are uploaded by all kinds of random people into their Marketplace stores. I have seen some awful typos, errors, junk artwork and plain mess.

Disk artwork comes first, followed by the Artist’s own website or Artist’s words.

This is also why the style guide is there - shops like Amazon are just trying to sell any old stuff and don’t really care about accuracy. So we have to tidy up their mess. :slight_smile:

You are doing this the right way - looking at actual artwork and tracing back to the original sellers of the product. Then a good application of common sense
