Subject: New section on artist pages... alternate spellings
Written By: ChuckyG on 06/24/08 at 1:15 pm
Check the Avril Lavigne page for an example of all the different ways we've seen Avril Lavigne's name misspelled on the website. Most of these corrections come from Wolveresos and the previous editor who worked on the corrections for the parody index.
more will appear as Wolversos works on reviewing the names, not sure if he's still doing it or not though.

Oh yeah, I've seen performer misspellings all the time on the site (and I ain't talkin' bout intentionally misspelled names, like Outkast or Nu Shooz). If people aren't sure how to spell the performers names, why don't they look 'em up, or try to find CD's by them?
other performer names I've seen misspelled on the site:
Sarah McLachlan
as: ~ McLacklin, McLaughlin, Maclachlan...
Limp Bizkit
as: ~ Bizket, Bikzit...
Red Hot Chili Peppers
as: ~ ~ Chilli Peppers, ~~~ Pepperes, ~~~ Papper's...
Nirvana
as: Nivana

Maybe they simply forgot a letter.

That's true, in some cases. Others have spelt the name completely different. Such as Good Charolette for Good Charlotte.
In reviewing new entries for sections, I notice some people have used a capial I in place of a lowercase L...but I don't notice that until after I go back to edit existing entries. ::) Such as "EIton John"; names like that should be added to the flagged list.
