Putting in Dates ⟨User:HMABOSTON⟩ [#32472]

The editions your uploading from the 19th century on most items do not have a date because in this century, most countries except for the USA for publishers did not include dates alot of the time on a edition (until the early 20th century). When there is no date on the Score printed (penciled in doesn't count, must be printed by the published, stamped doesn't count either like from a library), please put in "n.d.(ca.XXXX)" if its an approximate date with no sources to refer to. "n.d.[XXXX]" is for using for sourcing it from a third party site. "n.d.(XXXX)" is for if the date is on the edition, but the scan is missing it.

Did I neglect to click "ca." a couple of times when I did not know the exact date? But in the future I will follow the style of "n.d.(ca.XXXX)"

Many times already, you need to look closer on the files your uploading, either title page in your case would have this, most of the time with these editions, its not on the first page of the score. When you put in just the date without n.d., we assume its already dated on the score, when this is not how our formatting rules work for that.

One more thing, please be careful about which upload tool your using, you uploaded a Engraved edition as a Manuscript, those are two entirely different types of tools! Especially when your mass uploading like this almost every day. You need to slow down a bit, think twice before doing the upload and check over your details that you put in. Your making alot of errors. One thing you can do is check Page ---> History to see what got changed on a workpage and start following those changes.

Once our new website version coming, it is going to have a much better tutorial system for all users that will be required to go through step by step on how to enter in details in fields properly, its one of the biggest hurdles alot of users such as yourself face in the beginning, when they want to do mass file uploading on here from big volume editions but they make tons of errors or do not put items on the correct page.

And I would be happy to make a $500 contribution for the cleanup effort! Tell me how.

You don't need to make that contribution for cleanup, thanks anyway. The best thing is to go to here if you want to donate something under "Other" ---> "Donate". There are people like me already assigned to doing cleanup metadata standardization work on here.

https://imslp.org/wiki/4_Sonatas_for_Piano_(Clementi%2C_Muzio) This one stumped me. I can't easily match these four sonatas to existing listings. And is it a collection?

»donation page does not exist«

Did you try going under "Other" ---> "Donate"?

That worked
