Why does it matter?

Actually, the admins have been meaning to tackle the musical artist entries the same way they cleaned up the anime entries, but it's just a LOT harder. Sorry, but you can probably expect that this won't be changed anytime soon. It's a huge topic and would take many brave souls to attempt it. ~_~;;

PS: Sky - it matters on a whole... not just "likin park." The entire database needs the overhaul, but, well... I already said above that it's HUGE.

*Thinks about it*

I guess you're right...the number of different spellings for certain bands is entirely ridiculous. I can't imagine the effort it would take to go through and consolidate all of those :/ We'd probably lose a good fifth of the entries in the database.

Don't forget

-linkin park- and
lincoln park

and whatever other bastardized spellings.

There's that, and there are also "i dunno lol" listings of many, many, many kinds - you'd have to either watch all of those and attribute them, which is a punishment that no one deserves, or do some kind of quarantine/deletion mojo to let these morons fix their damn listings, which they wouldn't bother to do anyway.

My inner spell-checker/perfectionist twitches, but seriously, nobody has that kind of free time.

Alot

There's currently over 46,000 entries in the database that would have to be gone through.

Is it possible to just delete those entries? I mean, it's their fault for using the incorrect spelling after all.

/mmmm, good ol' harshness

Wouldn't that go against the point of the .org? You know, cataloging every AMV ever made (by people that use the .org, that is)?

:/
