Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: Joe Offer Date: 20 Aug 15 - 01:14 AM 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- |

Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: cnd Date: 19 Aug 15 - 12:28 PM 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? |

Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: Joe Offer Date: 19 Aug 15 - 02:35 AM 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. |

Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: GUEST,999 Date: 19 Aug 15 - 12:55 AM ' 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. ' Not quite. As an example, 'A Man Can't Grow Old' was requested first requested 30 Aug 00. The lyrics were located 13 Sep 12. It still shows in Unanswered Requests. People just don't have the time. [OK - Joe-] |

Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: GUEST,999 Date: 19 Aug 15 - 12:06 AM 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. |

Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: cnd Date: 18 Aug 15 - 11:51 PM 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.

Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: GUEST,999 Date: 18 Aug 15 - 08:55 PM 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. |

Subject: RE: PermaThread™ Unanswered Requests From: Joe Offer Date: 11 Mar 10 - 04:27 PM 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- |
