http://mainlynorfolk.info/ is a highly accurate and detailed site for (mainly) English folk music. I refer to it frequently in edit notes and annotations.
I would like to see it whitelisted for OtherDatabases for ReleaseGroup, Work and Artist, e.g.
RG http://mainlynorfolk.info/martin.carthy/records/themoraloftheelephant.html
Artist: http://mainlynorfolk.info/martin.carthy/
NB there are often subpages for Biography and Discography - not sure whether to link them separately
Work: http://mainlynorfolk.info/martin.carthy/songs/bonnymoorhen.html
Generally these are trad. songs, including lyrics, so perhaps add to the the lyrics whitelist too?
I have discussed this with the owner, and he is agreeable to being linked to. We had a discussion about static URLS, which I quote:
You're welcome to link to any Mainly Norfolk pages.
The pages are mostly static. There are already many links from Mudcat and from A Folk Song a Day to my site and I'm not interested in letting them get stale.
Every now and then, I reorganize a bit; e.g. yesterday I consolidated the two song pages
http://mainlynorfolk.info:/june.tabor/songs/bonnymay.html
http://mainlynorfolk.info:/watersons/songs/thebroomofcowdenknowes.html
(which are basically two versions of Child 217) into one. But in such cases I redirect from any "lost" page to the new one, so if you access the former address you will automagically be forwarded to the latter. But I usually don't redirect to moved album cover pictures; if you want to use some, you'd better copy them.My site grew out of discographies of about twenty artists that got directories of their own and are listed in the left-hand column. Later the number of artists was too big to be listed there, so "newer" artists have single discography pages like http://mainlynorfolk.info/folk/records/<artist>.html
If a song was sung by one ore more of the "earlier" artist, I use the earliest of these versions and place the song in the corresponding artist's directory at http://mainlynorfolk.info/<artist>/songs/<songtitle>.html
If there is no suitable place, I use the generic directory http://mainlynorfolk.info/folk/songs/<songtitle>.htmlUnfortunately these rules can't be deducted just from the song title so it looks a bit erratic. But the resulting page usually is static.
Best wishes,
Reinhard
