Guidelines / Comment Box

  • Most database objects have a comment box

  • Insert any relevant information that doesn't fit the predefined fields

  • The comments from the comment box are visible to all of visitors.

  • Do not copy/paste long sections from other websites. Rephrase instead, take into account the relevancy of the different elements for a SecondHandSongs context.

  • Links

    • Internal links are allowed and encouraged when the comments refer to other database objects (G)

      • If the description matches the object name, just paste the URL
        • Example: Have a look at the comment section of Henry Colt and how it refers to Kal Mann and Chubby Checker.
      • If you want to give a different description, use the syntax: [=description=]

        • Example: If you want to link to Elvis Presley, but you want to refer to him as the "The King", write [=The King=]
    • External links are forbidden (R)

  • Quotes

    • Always use double quotes ("..."). We prefer double over single quotes to prevent confusion with apostrophes.

    • Always use quotes when referring to an unlinked song or release title.

    • Never use quotes when using an object link.

  • Comments should be neutral, so avoid (for example) opinions and jokes.

  • Full stop

    • If the comment is not a full sentence, don't use a full stop. Example: Tess Gardella
