If you're referring to Constellatia, I added the link earlier today when I saw your comment. :)
I'll add an email notification so that I can be more responsive. I can add these links quickly, the problem is noticing when you add a band.

^ Like I said, you currently can't add links yourself - I'm asking that for the time being you let me add the links.

Please don't use the release comments to post bandcamp links - that is a LOT of work for me to clean up. If you need the bandcamp link for the artist urgently, please post it here and I will add it for you.
BTW: I'm working on enabling everyone (or at least collabs and pa genre chart members) to add external links. I realize that you are used to doing it yourself, please bear with me. :-)

^ That's why I created PF, so that releases can be "Progressive Folk", "Progressive Folk Rock", or even "Progressive Rock/Folk". Or "Heavy Progressive Folk" etc.

Unfortunately, I honestly think there can be a case made for both! Some bands definitely come from the folk traditions (The Pentangle, Steeleye Span, Malicorne), some want to give their folk music a rock edge (Spirogyra, John Martyn) or their rock music a folk edge (Jethro Tull).

Hey, how are you doing? I've been busy re-activating the auto-tagger, and now more than 80% of all the pa artists are connected to the corresponding artist entries at pf. That means that I'll soon be able to list candidates for the pa charts, based on the progressiveness assigned by pf users (and the RYM auto-tagger), automatically filtering out artists that are already on PA. Hopefully you'll find it useful
An unrelated question: In the Prog Folk/Rock genre, would you say that most of the bands are mostly Rock with Folk influence, or the other way around? I'm wondering how to tag them, either as "Progressive Folk" or as "Progressive Folk Rock".

It's this one Would seem reasonable that a minimum of one album is added when the entry is added as we need one album to review.

The artist Gordy added yesterday is a good example of why artist entries by themselves are problematic - "Locomotive" from the UK. It's difficult to find releases via Google. In that case it would be extremely helpful if someone who already knows some of the releases would just add them to the database. It's always much easier to find info on the combination of release name and artist name.
Another option for me (which I am pursuing) is simply adding all the releases which are being added to PA, in a semi-automatic way. That would also open up an interesting option for the genre charts: If all PA artists are in the PF database (e.g. for all the PF artists we know whether they are on PA or not), I could provide input to the genre charts: A list of all the artists tagged as progressive which are not already on PA. Working on it

My idea for the new Progfreak is that I'm adding all the links. I have built some scripts to help, so it doesn't take me long to do it. The only disadvantage is that you need to wait a little while for the links to appear. The advantage for me is that I keep track of the releases that get added, and I can make sure that there's also cover art, release dates and tracklists (if possible).

Just put in the base text information & Mike will handle the links in PF. I suggest that the links are put in the genre team thread on PA so that the team members can access from there if they want to get them before Mike puts them up on PF. Something like this :-

I think i did that. I realize now it's the wrong way. I won't do it anymore. Someone explain to us how to add links on the new PF.

One small thing: I noticed that some collabs are adding releases with bandcamp links as titles. Could we please find another solution? For all releases that you add, I'm adding all the necessary links in a timely fashion. I have an efficient way of doing that, and for that to work all you need to do is to add releases with the correct title.

Well, after some consideration I have reconsidered. My main motivation here is that pa collabs enter some releases and assign basic tags to artists during the evaluation, to improve the PF timeline. But I don't really want to force anyone to do anything, that wasn't such a good idea.
So I've just removed the requirement and instead there's now an info text that reminds team members that there's no release with minimal tags. They can then decide whether they want to take the time to add them or not, and I will not judge them either way. Sorry for the trouble! Prog on
