Thanks, Menace! Here's another one: http://demozoo.org/productions/38310/ is really a 4k procedural graphics production.

And this is a graphic entry. http://demozoo.org/productions/58927 (can't change it to graphics)

menace - 14:00 2 January 2014 #

Unlock: Both fixed. Thanks for spotting them. :)

Thank you! Well, I'm going trough the Vantage stuff a bit. If my mind, btw., is not completely out of order, these guys are the same scener: http://demozoo.org/sceners/36016/ and http://demozoo.org/sceners/24624/ (he changed the name to Sweeper at some point, and this is the current name, too)

menace - 14:26 2 January 2014 #

Unlock: I'll trust your mind. Merged the two.

There are apparently two different guys named Marq.
http://demozoo.org/sceners/1760

Mr. Reunanen has not been in groups called "Repulse" or "Propulsion", and has not released any music (that I know of).

Saga_Musix - 23:57 2 January 2014 #

Well, if you are absolutely sure that those belong to a different Marq, you can simply create a new scener with that name and re-attribute them. ;)

menace - 06:05 3 January 2014 #

Funny, though, that the Repulse / Propulsion guy released at Assembly - in Finland. Where the "original" Marq is also from. What are the odds?

One more time, back to the real name thing. The irony is that his (The Update's) real name was in this duplicate entry all along. :)

http://demozoo.org/sceners/1131/
(I guess you can delete this one.)

Please delete http://demozoo.org/sceners/42785 (Valladay is a group/music label, not a scener -> came in from a misinterpreted result file). I have already added a group and reassigned things to show up properly.

tomaes - 09:28 3 January 2014 #

Also, this is another alias of his: http://demozoo.org/sceners/17446/
Could be merged with his main entry: http://demozoo.org/sceners/17346/

Pleae merge these sceners - Poxoft / AmiGanS is the same person as Niq Music / AmiGanS. Thanks :)

Unlock - 09:30 3 January 2014 #

Err... Please merge http://demozoo.org/groups/5967/ into http://demozoo.org/groups/45615/ - i created a duplicate.

menace - 10:26 3 January 2014 #

Tomaes: http://demozoo.org/sceners/1131/ deleted. However, as for the Schoko alias - are you positive it's an official link that the two are the same? We try to be smart about not spoiling the whole "I'm-using-an-alternate-nick-for-weird-ass-releases-and-noone-knows-its-secretly-me" fun. I'll hold off on merging those two.

Unlock: The whole Valladay mess should be sorted now :)

factor6: Fixed. Since the two nicks are under the same group, I assume it's no secret. I also noticed you had added uZeroNiq as an alternative spelling of Poxoft - which you can surely tell if you think about it is not correct. :) Have fixed that as well and added it as an alternative handle.

Unlock - 10:29 3 January 2014 #

Thanks Menace, looks good! However, Alias Medron is not an ex-member of Valladay - he's a current member. It's just not a C64 group and thus probably was not listed in the september 2012 issue of Attitude.

Re: merging vs. not merging, secret aliases etc.

Music copyright bureaus have had to solve this same issue a long time ago, because many composers, lyricists and arrangers have used secret or semi-secret pseudonyms for example, just like Menace said, for weird-ass releases. Or if they just didn't want people to know relate some types of work with the rest of his works. For example the Finnish composer Toivo Kärki used at least a dozen different aliases http://www.discogs.com/artist/589906-Toivo-Kärki

I'm not sure it even matters if two aliases belong to the same person or not. How about shared pseudonyms? I mean, a handle that was used by multiple people. Like a certain joke/alias group where the guys after a few years didn't remember who was who...

tomaes - 12:03 3 January 2014 #

menace: Good thinking. Though, I thought part of the fun of a site like this is exactly to discover and document those kind of connections. Sometimes it's an open secret, like the many groups and handle incarnations of Curly Brace etc. In the case of Schoko, you can leave it separate, I guess. :)

yzi - 12:23 3 January 2014 #

Maybe not a "fix me" thing, but I can't invoke the "Add new scener named 'bla-bla'" function on my iPad. On the bigger Mac's Safari it does work. On the iPad, trying to tap the function from the sub-menu just clicks the entire submenu and cannot distinguish which menu item was "clicked". Something to do with the lack of "mouse over" stuff?

yzi - 12:29 3 January 2014 #

…now that I tried it again, I'm not sure anymore. Maybe it did work on the iPad as well, but the way the whole menu flashed confused me. And the fact that I had to first press Submit on the "Editing music" window, and only THEN the "Add a new scener" function would be invoked.

speaking of open secrets, please merge:

I added a wrong screen dump, how do I remove it ?

menace - 14:59 3 January 2014 #

cba: Tell us.

menace - 15:00 3 January 2014 #

yzi: we simply do not have a mobile experience yet. Use a desktop browser, for now.

menace - 15:01 3 January 2014 #

RufUsuL: I will check with Arto, and we'll see how he feels about it. :)

cba - 15:01 3 January 2014 #

Menace: Ah there is no option yet to do it myself, too bad :

http://demozoo.org/productions/97289, the main screen dump has to go.

RufUsul - 15:53 3 January 2014 #

menace: ok, but it's really easy to see on this website ;-)

menace - 06:33 4 January 2014 #

RufUsul: Someone beat me to deleting http://demozoo.org/groups/8709/

As for http://demozoo.org/productions/4677/ - who is the author, then?

tomaes - 09:54 4 January 2014 #

Please delete the low-res screenshot taken from pouet:
http://demozoo.org/productions/3805/

(I have prepared a high-res set, which I will upload shortly)

RufUsul - 13:44 4 January 2014 #

menace: sorry, i couldn't find the author for http://demozoo.org/productions/4677/ but i'm sure it's not CAREBEAR ;-)

RufUsul: I have the original raw Partymeister data from Revision 2011 here, and it was definitely submitted to the compo as Title:"SAFETY IN THE KITCHEN", Author:"CAREBEAR" :-)

Fixed.

Thanx to Leia's little self-promoting post on FB, I noticed that http://demozoo.org/productions/9810/ and http://demozoo.org/productions/3752/ are same, same, but different. :P

menace - 10:43 7 January 2014 #

Ziphoid: Merged.

LB - 14:13 7 January 2014 #

http://demozoo.org/sceners/6605/ is a group

LB - 14:15 7 January 2014 #

Also delete this: http://demozoo.org/sceners/5356/ -> V.M.M.K. is a group as in http://demozoo.org/groups/11076/

LB - 14:42 7 January 2014 #

also delete http://demozoo.org/groups/41935/ (or merge with http://demozoo.org/groups/11076/) Vihaiset Multi Media Nuoret is just a name variation of Verärgerten Multi Mittel Knabe :)
