The Ryko Armed Forces lists PL&U with a question mark, but the Columbia cd does not.
Which way should we do it? -- JohnH

JohnE 16:01, 26 March 2006 (CST): From memory, the Ryko re-releases fixed a few problems that occurred with the initial releases. I think it is with a ?, but could be corrected on that. I have always included the ? on the EC Home Page.

Image naming

  • Perhaps a general naming convention would be good to start with, and then expand into the specific types. Included in this could be guidelines for the different types: large, small, thumb, with rough or preferred dimensions. - JohnE 18:24, 26 March 2006 (CST)
  • Naming of Albums ssems different to the rest of the naming scheme, as Album is spelt with a capital letter, whereas other image types take a lower case, e.g. concert, ticket. - JohnE 18:12, 26 March 2006 (CST)
  • The examples of Album naming given for Costello & Nieve do not contain Album as is required by the naming convention. Is this an oversight? - JohnE 18:24, 26 March 2006 (CST)
  • Bibliography images: I think country should only be used where there are magazines with the same name available in different countries. In these cases the coutnry should come after the mazine name:
1980-05_Rolling_Stone_US_magazine_cover_large.jpg
1983-09_Rolling_Stone_Australia_magazine_cover_large.jpg
  • Question: Is it possible to renaming an image once it has been uploaded and inserted into a page? - JohnE 18:24, 26 March 2006 (CST)
