MLB Rookie of the Year Award: Award or Award Category?

2008-10-11T00:38:13.0017Z

Is this an Award or Award Category? If it's an award category, what's the overall award? How do we model the fact that each year the honor is bestowed upon a player from the National League and a player from the American League, if not as award categories?

The Carpetbaggers: Split!

Alabama Song: don't merge

2008-10-08T21:22:32.0017Z

Made a mistake, this is a musical track of the composition.

Alabama Song: don't merge

This should just be a musical track for the actual composition, I think.

Thanks!

Must've accidentally hit the wrong button

Dragon Ball: Merge - same manga series

2008-10-08T00:19:07.0017Z

These two refer to the same manga series. They were both imported from the same Wikipedia article (one via a redirect). Please merge.

Television program: Home video releases

You can create your own data types in a user domain, if you like. That might be the easiest way to get this up and running.

Television program: Home video releases

2008-10-07T19:53:13.0011Z

Hey, I joined freebase not too long ago and have been using it to build an app that lets users mark which films they have watched or own on dvd or blu-ray. I've run into the issue of TV shows not being in the Film category, which leads to my question.

Is there a possibility of a data type that tracks home video releases? This would be a sub-type for both Film and TV shows. I realize that may be a lot of work, so it might be far down the road, but I thought I'd suggest it.

Overall freebase is a fantastic service. I really hope to see it take off in a big way.

Fantasy literature: Merge fantasy and fantasy literature?

2008-10-07T18:30:56.0012Z

I'd be in favour of merging.

MADE Clothing: Types don't appear

2008-10-07T17:46:59.0012Z

The type didn't appear until I posted this message. Now all is well.

MADE Clothing: Types don't appear

2008-10-07T17:46:03.0017Z

This topic is type company but the type doesn't appear on this page,

[
{
    "id" : "/en/made_clothing",
    "name" : "MADE Clothing",
    "type" : [
      {
        "id" : "/common/topic",
        "name" : "Topic",
        "type" : [
          "/type/type",
          "/freebase/type_profile"
        ]
      },
      {
        "id" : "/business/company",
        "name" : "Company",
        "type" : [
          "/type/type",
          "/freebase/type_profile"

        "type" : [
          "/type/type",
          "/freebase/type_profile"
        ]
      }
    ]
}
]

Fantasy literature: Merge fantasy and fantasy literature?

2008-10-07T00:48:18.0031Z

Do we need a separate genre for each medium?

That's what the separation of fantasy and fantasy literature suggests. If so, we need to be clearer about which is which, as right now books seem to be tagged with one or the other somewhat arbitrarily.

I'm not completely convinced that merging is necessary, but some form of cleanup or disambiguation appears to be.
