Francesca & Franco Contini: How to differentiate "F. Contini"

[Lebon14]

Hey guys.

For quite a while now, I have been entering a lot of info on Discogs about past Eurobeat volumes as well as finishing people's job on new ones.

However, there are these two names that I can't differentiate in the writing of Eurobeat songs. They are, as you can read in the title of this thread, Francesca Contini and Franco Contini. They both share the "F. Contini" shortning and both appeared on A-Beat-C tracks. And they both share the first 5 letters of their name and Alberto is either credited as "A. Contini" or just "Contini" so he's easy to spot.

Their Discogs links:
Franco: https://www.discogs.com/artist/636135-Franco-Contini
Francesca: https://www.discogs.com/artist/622060-Francesca-Contini

The only hint I have is that Francesca mainly worked on Norma songs? I mean, that's principally where I saw her in my recent work on Discogs (Recently: SEB 243, 60, 74, 77, 78, 79 and started working on 80 today).

So, for those that have followed Eurobeat longer than I have, can you lighten me up so I can be better at crediting?

Cheers y'all.

P.S I know it's a bad title, couldn't find something better.

I was going to say nice discovery, good vigilance, because who would think about two different persons using the same shortcut in credits...

Quickly it has turned out, I think you haven't dilemma anymore. This is just Discogs, database of fans.

Check out a simple trial - where if not in SIAE.



I have checked several songs from Franco Contini profile and everywhere the same. Do you get it ?

Now take a look what's happening when I enter this mystic name, looking for himself:



The name doesn't exist, and the tracks signed supposedly by him are registered for the one and only Francesca Contini.

Franco doesn't exist? Wow.
Hum. I feel stupid as I edited tons of stuff earlier to somebody that doesn't exist. >.<

Thanks for the tip, Crockett. That will make things much easier in the future.

EDIT

I created a Mass Edit thread in the community forums in order to Mass Edit out Franco and credit Francisca:

I'd be delighted to have approval for this!
