Description

Hi,

Please ensure the canonical publication for all of my dances is the Grand Chain web site, or the Badger’s Sett.

Thank you.

Ian

Thanks Ian for pointing this out. You have listed your dances online in the “Badger’s Sett” at http://www.scottishdance.net/dances/.

The entry for the “Badger’s Sett” on SCDDB only has 26 dances. That needs to be updated to conform to your website.

A full update is a major job. I suggest that we editors split the job into four parts:

  1. Add the “Grand Chain” URLs to all the dances where they are missing
  2. Add all the “Grand Chain” dances to “Badger’s Sett” on SCDDB
  3. Add the dances that are not yet on SCDDB
  4. Cross-check and update the SCDDB dance details using the “Grand Chain” as source.

REQUEST: Can any editor who has completed one of these steps please tell us? Then we can avoid double work.

Done:
Step 3: I have checked that all dances from http://www.scottishdance.net/dances/ are already on SCDDB per se. Step 2: I have added all dances of the source above to the “publication” called “Badger’s Sett” where they have not been added so far. Step 1: I have added online resource links to all dances that had none so far, with one problem (see below).

Not done yet:
@Eric Ferguson for Step 4: what do you have in mind here?

Problems: The link for “Found on Strathspey” is dead: http://www.scottishdance.net/dances/Book/FoundOnStrathspey.pdf
There are dances from Ian that are NOT listed on the Badger’s Sett, so I didn’t add those to the said publication.

Ian sent through an email which enabled me to correct a few things. The dance “Found on Strathspey” has since been renamed to “Salt and Sauce”. I renamed it too, added its old name as alias and added extra notes from Ian’s mail. Ian amended his “Badger’s Sett” website accordingly. I asked him to come back to us by double checking the dances listed for his name (2 dances “unpublished” and not on the Badger’s Sett list so far: The Flame of Delhi + Scotland United. Once we get final instructions from Ian directly, we will be able to do final amendments.
