Oh - OK thanks. I'm still working it all out! Cheers. Steve

Hi Steve, and welcome to Freebase. I see you're off to a good start adding information about yourself, which we welcome and encourage. However, Freebase is a structured database, and the best and most effective way to add information here is to fill in the "Person" and "Musical Artist" properties. This will create rich interlinking between you and your work, and the rest of Freebase, and make it easier for people to find you. It will also make your information show up in search engines like Powerset, who use Freebase's structured data but don't scrape descriptions such as the one you've written.

I've started to help you structure some of your information already. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any help.

Ted Stevens: political stuff goes to Theodore Stevens

2008-05-23T07:51:20.0005Z

Looks like some stuff got strangely reconciled against the wrong Ted Stevens

Michael Kronenberger: MusicBrainz says performance name

2008-05-20T00:01:38.0010Z

That is all.

Trey Parker: Use of the alias field

2008-04-25T21:58:47.0007Z

This shouldn’t happen again. Thanks for noticing it.

Trey Parker: Use of the alias field

When MusicBrainz tells that X is also known as Y, we don’t necessarily know that Y is a fictional character played by X, as opposed to just a stage name.

It’s definitely a bug that the bot is re-adding aliases previously deleted, though. Sorry about that, and thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Trey Parker: Use of the alias field

2008-04-25T01:27:43.0000Z

It looks like your MusicBrainz bot is still adding improper aliases. Will this be fixed?

Trey Parker: Use of the alias field

2008-04-16T20:48:53.0007Z

You are correct - names of the characters that an actor portrays should not be aliases of that person. This is an artifact of some psuedonym refactoring that was done on musical tracks. In general, if you see another topic like this, feel free to delete the pseudonyms.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Should aliases really be used to include roles played by an actor? It seems very inappropriate to me.

Stewart Copeland: Split Klark Kent graffitti info

2008-04-07T09:44:34.0005Z

The Wikipedia information about the graffitti artist got glommed on here because of Copeland’s identical performance name. It should be split out.

Red Flag: Split: bad MusicBrainz data

2008-03-18T21:05:08.0005Z

Mike Dierickx does appear to have a vast number of performance names. However, Red Flag, SFX, and probably Galore are bands that happen to share names with him, and are not actually the person.

John Belushi: Test Discussion

2008-01-14T20:15:53.0012Z

My favorite SNL cast member of all time... I saw him when he was in Second City, and even then you knew there was something dangerous and wonderful going on.

John Spence: Don't delete; not sure about merge.

2007-12-31T19:02:53.0012Z

I marked this for delete, but then realized that the MusicBrainz keys are on this topic. I'm not sure that merge is a good idea either, though -- this topic is from a Wikipedia disambiguation page. Can the keys be moved to the proper John Spence topic, so that this topic can be deleted?

Thunderball: Merge, don’t split

2007-12-27T04:39:58.0012Z

Split was accidental. Merge should be into this topic; further, the MusicBrainz key should be dropped from Thunderball Barcelona/Raskin, as the erroneous MusicBrainz entry no longer exists.

Arctic Monkeys members: Split and merge

2007-11-06T19:55:24.0005Z

The MusicBrainz information about Matt Helders should be split from this topic, and then merged with his proper topic. After that, this topic can be deleted.
