What are the Guidelines for adding and editing?

At Viberate we try to map the whole live music industry under one roof and you can find over a million Pages of Artists, Festivals, Venues, and Events. Anyone with an account can add new Artist, Venue, Event, and Festival Pages or suggest changes for the existing ones. 

After you add or edit an entity Page, our curators review your entry and either approve or deny it. If your entry gets approved, it becomes publicly visible. When adding or editing Viberate Pages, you should stick to the Content and Link Requirements that apply for each entity:  Artist, Festival, Venue and Event Pages. 

Here you can find the most basic and general Guidelines, that apply to all entities: 

Add: 
- the entity you are adding is not in our database yet (check here how you can improve your search results)
- the entity you are adding is currently active:
                     -  an artist is currently performing and making music
                     - a venue is currently operational and is hosting live events
                     - a festival is ongoing and has live music performances
- the submitted information is correct
- add as much information and links as possible
- the links you are adding lead to the pages with content (posts, videos, tracks, etc.) 
 

Edit: 
- Do not change URLs in any way if the existing links on Pages are correct (meaning they have content and belong to the Artist), for example: changing http to https, adding or removing slashes, language codes... Such changes can affect Viberate analytics calculations, and will therefore be rejected.

- Do not remove the existing links on Pages if they are correct (meaning they have content and belong to the Artist), even if the content on social media channels is outdated (is more than 3 years old). What you can do is replace them with new links if they exist (e.g., the Artist created a new account on Twitter - in this case, you can safely replace the existing link with the new one).
