I don't know if the wiki has some sort of.. language redirect so that if you have .no as language setting and go to OfficialStyleGuideline you are redirected to Norsk/OffisielleStilretningslinje - but many people wouldn't want that anyways

well... even if the wiki doesn't, you could do the redirect in the wikidocs setup.

copolymers? polymers made of two or more different types of monomers, iirc.

MartinRudat wonders if urllib2 uses its own resolver or something... the standard resolver works just fine, urllib2 chokes on what my router replies with (I think it's a little out of spec, but...)...

You seem a lot more easy-going on the information-less 'add artist' edits than me!
2006-06-07 15849, 2006
Nyght
Well... most of them will be deleted anyways, and on VA they are auto added. Therefore it's sort of a "freebie" vote.
2006-06-07 15808, 2006
Nyght
Sorry, most without any information will be auto deleted in 24 hours anyways...
2006-06-07 15822, 2006
SuperfluousC
do they? oh, in that case I'll just stop caring. lol.
2006-06-07 15857, 2006
Nyght
If there is information, they will stick around, and that's why I ask for sortnames and group type... but, ultimately those are pretty easy and while easily forgotten as well, they tend to be one of the first thing a new person coming to the artist sets.
2006-06-07 15827, 2006
Nyght
LOL well, it's still good to vote, and sometimes I get touchy and state I would almost vote no... or, of course obvious mispellings that will need to be merged...
2006-06-07 15852, 2006
SuperfluousC
so what's needed to make them stick? is sortname/type enough or does it take a release or relationship?
2006-06-07 15859, 2006
Nyght
duplicates, that's the sort of thing add artist does need to be checked on. The way I look at it if we can keep the add artists down, the most focus on the mods that truly matter.
2006-06-07 15809, 2006
Nyght
release or relationship.

2006-06-07 15814, 2006
Nyght
LOL well, it's really helpful to yes them... again, unless they're obvious duplicates, or mispellings you feel might be to some other artist.
2006-06-07 15828, 2006
Nyght
There's something about vs, and I can't recall that rule, so I don't vote on those at all...
2006-06-07 15854, 2006
SuperfluousC
okay. thanks.
2006-06-07 15800, 2006
Nyght
at the same time... and the reason why sometimes I shift to almost wanting to vote no is because I feel the add artist is one of those things that shows tendency to perchance stick around, and therefore it's best to start the user on their own edits.
2006-06-07 15829, 2006
Nyght
Just something I've noted... which is why I try to persuade them to set the type, and sortname... has to start somewhere. :)

probably, depends on what sort of problem you've got. =)

Great. Here it is: I get a Proxy Server Error when I attempt to import from freeDB.
