All the community staff members at Genius are taking 1 hour every day to focus in on one specific Genius project and we want YOU to join us! Anyone can propose a project that everyone works on for the week. For more information on Genius Power Hour, check out this thread.

Examples of good projects to propose:

For the last 10 minutes of the power hour, record what you worked on and your thoughts (questions, ideas, practical suggestions, visions, bugs, etc) on this page. You should say what you literally did in this hour and also share your takeaways (what you learned or what you think we can do to make things better). Share your experiences with the world!

Here’s the process:

  • Choose which annotation you want to keep/delete. Generally you want to keep the one with the most upvotes or the one made by a new contributor.

If you’re on a trivial song:

  • Leave a suggestion tagging the user who created the annotation you’re deleting and ask them to copy the info over by either editing or proposing an edit

If you’re on a popular song:

  • Send a message to the contributor whose annotation you’re deleting

  • Copy and paste the info from the one you’re deleting into the one you’re keeping

  • Delete the annotation you just copied the information from

  • Edit the existing annotation with the newly merged info

  • Move the brackets in the song lyrics so the annotation now covers both lines
