I closed a few tickets (with the help of yvanz who wrote the implementing code for the other databases ones). The Created vs. Resolved issues report is in the green!!!
Other than that, support and tons of editing, because people were somehow more busy than usual with my subscriptions this week :/

On the entity editor, I've pretty much finished making improvements to it based on Leftmost's feedback, and I'm now generalizing it a little bit to work for other entities besides Creator

This week I updated some of the existing How-tos in the wiki docs and created the How-tos for merging recordings and for reporting issues. Additionally I'm creating wiki doc pages for BookBrainz and some related How-tos at the moment, because BookBrainz is very under-represented in terms of information material.

There have been a couple of editors that basically did nothing but add links for a bunch of artists to weave.me.
2017-01-16 01640, 2017

weave.me seems to be a site that uses Wikipedia(/Wikidata?) data to gather information about artists.

Apparently they have a bunch of ads (thank you uBlock Origin!).

Do we want these links at all, or should we tell them outright to stop adding links to this site?

do we want them as a supporter?
2017-01-16 01656, 2017

What sort of information is gathered from Wikipedia?

I send one of them an e-mail last week telling them I was going to discuss it tonight, so they have had a chance to make their case.

To me, the question is mostly whether they provide own data.

If it’s only things scraped from WD, MB, …, then I don’t think we should link to them.

As far as I could see, their URLs are based on English Wikipedia, so people who really like the display could use a userscript to get the link from existing relationships.
2017-01-16 01659, 2017
LordSputnik
Actually it might be useful to link to them
2017-01-16 01603, 2017

We shouldn't allow people to pay to get us to link to them. We might as well add ads to the site then.
