  Wrong Carlos Peña This is  Guatemalan Carlos Peña  If you know that she might mistake the two artists (because she isn't guatemalan and not even latin), then why don't you post the correct picture with your entry? We wouldn't have situations like this  I always post pictures for my artists, because 1. Some of them are hard to find and 2. I save time for Laurinda and exclude mistakes like this |

I save time for Laurinda and exclude mistakes like this Because literally didnt know there was another artist called Carlos Peña, I was as surprised to discover that, I never had that as a possibility, I thought that if you wrote Carlos Peña on Google you would only see the Guatemalan Artis, I guess i was wrong |

I guess next time you should make sure there are no mistakes to be made |

I guess next time you should make sure there are no mistakes to be made Yeah next time, i should be more careful, is the first time something like that has happended to me so hopefully i can make sure is also the last. But you make a very curious point, the google results are different depending on which country is your internet connection from, for examole, I that live in Guatemala, and my internet is local, if you dont specify which Carlos Peña, the default result is the Guatemalan Singers, but for example if you are in mexico is the football player, if you are in the Dominican republic is the baseball player, if you are in the US you see the Big Time Rush Member, and in other countries a popurri of all of them, is very curious, to see how google tries to personalize the results |

Even if you don't understand a crap to the local language. Google is generally extremely bad at distinguishing people with the same stage name. And even if he gives you the pictures of the right singer, the other information may be randomly wrong - they may also change from time to time. For example, when you do a research on the singer  Alexia, you may obtain her photo but the birth place of  Famagusta, an information which concerns actually the singer Alexia. So for example, if you're looking for information about the Norwegian singer  Sigrid, go to google.no and choose the language "norsk" then type her name. And if you need it, translate the pages into English with Google Translate (NOT your own language, Google Translate is far more efficient to translate from any language to English). With that method, you will be 99,99% certain to obtain information about the right person. I also use a similar method on Amazon. If you're looking for a CD, a DVD, a book or whatever from a given country, you can generally obtain better prices on the local Amazon that on your national one. So I created an account on Amazon.it and there is no problem of shipping to France.  The only constraint is that if you have a problem, you'll have to deal with it in the local language... |

The way I do it, works for the most part (mistakes are always possible). In some cases it takes me hours just to make sure or to find a big enough picture. My track record is pretty good too. In all editions I "only" got two completely wrong and two semi-wrong (not with the correct band-member - which how am I supposed to know). So yeah, if you want to avoid mistakes on my part just include a picture or give me some source to refer to The times I Googled for pictures and just got items or business logos. Adding "band" to it sometimes makes it worse and it gives me rings ;; But after so many editions I have some tricks up my sleeve too  (but way too many to explain now, if you need to know you can pm me) |
