do it

shouldn't this be florence + the machine? http://musicbrainz.org/artist/5fee3020-513b-48c...

looks like this is when it happen, no discussion :/ http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=13621894

should i put in an edit and let people discuss?

ddayydj: or, add a note to the merge and ask why Senax went with "and" over "+"

so they'll get a notification even though the edit is closed?

its annoying, last.fm keeps correcting my scrobbles

ddaydj: yeah, the original editor and anybody who voted (except abstain) or commented will be notified.

cool, hopefully someone responds, otherwise i'll put in a change in the next few days

FYI: we're pushing out a new VM today and replication packets are going to fall behind for a few hours. the situation should fix itself in a few hours.

hi, i've got an artist in my collection for which i want to get notifications on new releases

last week there a a new release for that artist, but i didn't get any notification

is there a bug with that feature or do i need do to anything besides clicking the "notify me on new releases" link on the artist page?

oh, the new release fits into the categories that i want to get new releases for, as set on my collection preferences page

El_Rico: it doesn't send notifications :/

so it's a bug?

yes

narf :(

the only thing you can really do at the moment is to subscribe to the artist and check the edits

any chance this is going to be fixed in NGS?

it should be

sweet

alright, thanks for your help nikki :)

no problem

El_Rico: yea, it's already fixed

just a leeeetle bit longer and itw ill be released hopefully :)

glad to hear that, ocharles_ :)

Google is now matching donations up to $5k!

Ugh, no accountless checkout from paypal from chipin?

I guess it's too convenient for laundering./

sorry, no.

ruaok: So does Google’s “matching donations up to $5k” mean they will match any donation of $5000 or less, or that they will donate $5000 once others have collectively donated a total of $5000?

the latter.

they match the total amount, up to $5k.

thanks for the add on donation. :)

And does it apply to donations given prior to their offer?

I hadn’t yet donated, figured I might as well do so.

oh, I though you had previously.

Nope.

nice. we're at $2250 now.

Counting the Google matching donation?

and other donors gave $2k OOB from the fundraiser. So we're at $4550. Only $450 from maxing Google's donation matching.

with Google matching we're at $9550. :)

Wouldn’t it be 9100?

Kinda

Yeah

:p

sorry. previous number was bad.

But I’m sure we’ll get to $5000

we're at $2550.

so $4550 counting the other $2000.

I'm certain.

I think we'll cover the whole amount. :)

there are two companies who have promised to chip in who have not.

maybe even 3 companies.

I am almost beginning to like companies

haha

Stop killing the leftist in me!

:p

Ponies and sunshine and myspace and glitter!!

Ok, I'll just think of Gracenote

lol

ewww

Yeah, that worked

but without them, there would be no musicbrainz :(

srsly.

That's like saying "without killing pigs there wouldn't be ham"

Yeah, it is kinda true, but that's not what you want to remember!

:P

BACON!

Ouch, those donation fees hit hard on the large donors…should try to encourage large donors to use some sort of feeless method.

Like "big envelopes full of cash"

nikki: you have it better. speck!

but I do know that people seem to translate it as schinken, which to me is ham, which is definitely not bacon

http://musicbrainz.org/track/6e05fb3a-eedc-4870... parentheses broke

speck == bacon, schinken == ham

ah

ok

That was supposed to go in nikki's PM

But still

If anyone else knows how to fix RTL parentheses, feel free

and lachsschinken? (translating each part of the word really doesn't help me there :P)

reosarevok: somewhere we need to check if the title contains rtl characters and set the direction if it does

Ok, how do I fix it for now? :p

user script

Please fix it then :D

There are at least two of them there: http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=14088840

'rolled filet of ham' is what my dictionary says

reosarevok: they're fine, that's just what happens when you try and combine rtl and ltr
