13 Jul 01 - 09:01 PM (#506117) Subject: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: Joe Offer Check out our new feature: Unanswered Requests This is a PermaThread™ controlled by Burke and by Joe Offer. Note that all messages posted here are subject to deletion or editing. Burke Posted this message in another thread, and I think it's a good idea. -Joe Offer- Subject: RE: Non-Music threads thoughts If you see an unanswered music request thread that's at the end of the Forum Menu and ready to drop off the menu, post a link to it (or the URL for the thread) in this thread. Be sure to give the name of the song being sought. As time goes on, we'll work out a system of maintaining this PermaThread™ - in the meantime, I'll just delete your links when I see they've been answered. Thanks. -Joe Offer- Please post lyrics in the original request threads, not here.thanks.From Burke: Here I was, thinking about how to work out the details of my suggestion. Instead it has taken on a life of it's own. Obviously it was an idea waiting to happen. Post the answer to the original thead & a note that it's been answered here. I'd like to see some kind of way to make sure the requested information is still needed. I don't want to try to judge how important a request is to someone, but I'd hate to see a lot of time spent on something of only passing interest to the questioner. Maybe after a request has been refreshed a few times we could ask if an extended search is desired. If the reply is yes anyone can list it here, since the person with the question might not know how to make the link. I think I'd also like to see time limits listed if they apply. If the reqest if for a wedding 2 months from now, I think we'd want to know that after that it can be deleted. What about including a date of initial request, date of addition to this thread, or some other time stamp in the link? Someone who keeps up on this thread will be able to check the most recent postings. If the lists are consolidated from time to time, a date will help us see what we might not have checked yet. I have no idea where the answers might turn up. My thought is that someone who knows the answer may just be gone for a few days & would normally miss it. Now they can check here. New folks can check it out. If I did this correctly, you can copy the text below & just replace the threadid from the desired thread. <a href=/thread.cfm?threadid=19340>Click here</a>

16 Jul 01 - 08:26 AM (#507536) Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: IanC Can I suggest that when we've found anything in here we ALWAYS REFRESH THE ORIGINAL THREAD rather than posting it here. If we don't it could be very counterproductive, by only having one thread alive when there could be quite a few. Also, it will end up spawning a whole load of stuff on this thread, or another quite divorced from the original enquiry and other information which may have been provided in the original thread. The forum already splits up information quite enough as it is ...

16 Jul 01 - 10:45 AM (#507625) Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: MMario Well, as I discovered during The Great Tune Search(TM) - the passage of even a few days can make a difference in whether or not information is available on the web. So some of these may show up on google where 3 years ago or 3 months ago or 3 weeks ago they did not. Or new members since the request may have the information - or a passerby may notice the thread and respond... |

16 Jul 01 - 07:23 PM (#508109) Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: McGrath of Harlow "but I'd hate to see a lot of time spent on something of only passing interest to the questioner."
Well in a sense the original questioner isn't necessarily the only one that matters. If the replies to a thread indicate that other people are keen on seeing a song tracked down, I'd see that as good enough.
And that's another reason why it's good for people to post to threadslike that, even if they haven't extra information - to indicate interest, and in the process to keep the thread alive, and the chase active. |

11 Mar 10 - 04:27 PM (#2862090) Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: Joe Offer Looks like there are some songs to clean up in our Unanswered Requests database. I've been working on the database today. The database is in our QuickLinks dropdown menu, which is on almost every Mudcat page. Take a look through the database and see if there are any requests you can answer. If you can't find the lyrics in print or online, think about doing a transcription from a recording. If you start on a song, others may join in and help. If a songs to be added to the "unanswered" database, or if a request in the database has been answered, post a message here to let me know. If a request is only a few days old or if it has been answered, we don't add it to the database. The database is just for old unanswered requests. -Joe- |

18 Aug 15 - 08:55 PM (#3731291) Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: GUEST,999 The unanswered request area needs tending to. About two years ago I spent weeks looking and was able to find or develop good leads (ie., on YT or videos, sites, etc) for a minimum of 150-170 URs, but nothing happened with any of them so I stopped. However, I applaud what you're doing. |

18 Aug 15 - 11:51 PM (#3731310) Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: cnd Thanks. My guess is that they don't truly consider it "answered" unless you actually copy/paste the lyrics onto there or transcribe them yourself. That's at least the bar I've been using. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to greatly reduce/stop soon. Lyr Req: Back to Donegal (Rory McLeod) answered Lyr Req: Ballad of Gordy Ross (Ted Longbottom) was answered by GUEST Origins: The Ballad of Soapy Smith (Al Oster) has been answered since 1998!

19 Aug 15 - 12:06 AM (#3731317) Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: GUEST,999 The situation is a bit more complicated than that, cnd. It's not a lack of will. It's a lack of time. There were app. 2000 URs going by a memory that is years old. A rough estimate would be about 1700 of them still outstanding, with a few hundred located but needing placement because they have been found. It's not that the folks here don't care. It's that the admin just don't have the time to file stuff away. |

19 Aug 15 - 02:35 AM (#3731328) Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: Joe Offer I guess I don't think of this Unanswered Requests database as often as I should. When I see somebody has posted to the PermaThread, I go to each song, make sure it's formatted and labeled correctly, and clear the database and this thread. But I've been working fulltime on the Rise Again songbook for the last year, so I got behind. And I don't just check the song off the database and forget it. I try to review and reformat every song before clearing it. CND, it's very important for you to document your source for these lyrics. Did you find it in a book, transcribe it from a recording - which book, which recording? Did you find it on a Website? Who's the songwriter? Is there any background information? It's not only important to gather lyrics in a hurry. It's also essential that we learn source information so we can ensure the accuracy of the lyrics. Thanks. -Joe- Here's a guide for formatting lyrics you post, so that they're in the standard Mudcat format: http://mudcat.org/detail.cfm?messages__Message_ID=2691343 The songs may or may not be added to the Digital Tradition Folk Song Database - that's up to Dick and Susan. I try to make sure that the songs have ADD and the song title in the title of the message where the lyrics are posted. I also have a distinctive way of formatting the title once I've proofed the lyrics and found the most credible lyrics postings on a song. If the message title is properly formatted, it's easy to find songs in the Old Advanced Forum Search, found in the QuickLinks dropdown menu on every Mudcat page. If songs are posted and titled properly, they are immediately available in the Forum to anyone who searches for them with the Old Advanced Forum Search. It takes time for posts to be indexed for the main search engine, but they're immediately available in the old search. |

19 Aug 15 - 12:28 PM (#3731503) Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: cnd Sorry Joe; I'll try and do better in the future. Much of the time I don't have that information, though. Most of the time, I hand-transcribe them from Youtube videos or audio clips. I'll try and go back and fill in some of my holes. I have tried doing the title like you like before, but every time I try that, it ends up with a huge hole between the title line and artist info below it. Which HTML thing should I type to get it the right way? |

20 Aug 15 - 01:14 AM (#3731667) Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: Joe Offer I'd prefer to do the HTML on the title, cnd. That's my sign that the song has been reviewed. It does help, however, if you have ADD and the song title (in title case) in the message title box, and then the title in ALLCAPS above the lyrics, followed on the next line by the songwriter name in parentheses, then a blank line, then the lyrics, then any notes and source info. If you transcribe a song, tell us that you did so and tell us what you transcribed from. If it's in a publication, give us the title. If from a Website, give the URL of the Website. One early stage of the Rise Again songbook was the collection of lyrics after the committee had built a list of songs to be included in the book. One volunteer programmed a "bot" to roam the Internet and collect the lyrics. Then other volunteers added chords to the lyrics. When I got to the project, the lyrics and chords were reportedly finished. I looked at the lyrics, and found they were awful. That's the usual quality of lyrics on the Internet. That's why we like source-documented lyrics here at Mudcat. No use perpetuating mistakes if the source is crummy. I promise I will get to work on clearing these, but I'd better get back to work on the Rise Again Songbook. I haven't seen a copy yet, but I understand it's out or almost out (scheduled for Sept 1). I'm working on the supporting Website, which will have links to YouTube recordings and online information about all the songs. -Joe- |
