[23:48] derwinafter all, I want to be my government name everywhere I go.

oh god not that warmelink thing again :p

haha

juhae, that was pretty awesome

(even with the madness at the end :P )

ocharles, I imagine you are adding the links to all the SoundCloud pages you visit to MB? :p

aar? juhae?

CatCat, After Action Report

Basically, someone telling what they did in a grand strategy game

In a relatively cohesive and history-like way

Entity or editor?

entity. Editor is practically impossible, I only check out a few new editors here and there

Ok

Same here then

Then came the "Merge recordings" edit

too many edits ;)

that's a lot of autoeditors.

Mostly because he expected all their open edits to be clear but not autoeditable / things that needed input

Again, it worked before Merge Recordings

hmm. I suppose that's true.

(and to a lesser extent works)

before merge recordings

Of course, as nobody seems to enter notes for merge recordings

It's kinda hard to vote now

Same here

I tend to leave my Estonian release adds open for example

As I am not fully confident with them yet

But in general, yeah

Merges and removals

Still, 46 right now

Nothing too terrible

all my merges have notes, at least :)

ok, not all.

but most of them.

(as I found a lot of Spanish ones that didn't)

most independent releases that I've seen around here don't either

and most big label releases before the 2000s as well

:/

But but but they're the only useful thing the industry has devised in the last 20 years!

Why don't they use it :(

japanese labels seem to love them, at least.

Yeah

French ones seem to do the same - or at least the French DB is huge

If only other countries did the same

yeah, it's annoying that the isrc standards don't require that they're made public.

it's perfectly valid for a label to have them on a spreadsheet on someone's computer somewhere :/

P...p...public?

But that's dangerous!

People will, like, PIRATE them or something!

nikki, what labels?

major labels?

Oh

Both

Major and indie

I found few ISRCs in both

I don't find that many on smaller labels, it's usually the major ones

I wonder what would happen if ISRC tried to change the standards

(towards mandatory public display)

hmm. I wonder, Why don't we have a blog post on musicbrainz.org every once and a while (maybe once or twice a month) describing the RFCs proposed on the style council, and their status?

to give a public notification of what things are changing

Because nobody wants to write them, I guess :p

hmm. I suppose.

If you can convince nikki that Style Leader includes that... it might work :p

for a while, CallerNo6 was doing something like that on the forum

but iirc he said there wasn't much interest in it

hmm.

maybe integrate it with the hypothetical on-website notification system :)

kepstin, http://forums.musicbrainz.org/viewtopic.php?id=... if you or anybody else want to post anything. I haven't completely given up on the idea. Just got busy and sidetracked.

CatCat / Wizzcat: http://mb.lmfao.org.uk/reports/wikipedia?d=no

This is a list of all artists that are linked to a page in the Norwegian wikipedia but have no country set

In case you feel like taking a look

:)

(other people can change "no" for their own country code and help too!)

(et, lv and a few others are empty)

yi and yo are the ones I know to be emptied

nikki had a list with the amount of URLs in each domain

juhae, srotta: http://mb.lmfao.org.uk/reports/wikipedia?d=fi

there were four, working on the second of them

Wow, http://mb.lmfao.org.uk/reports/wikipedia?d=de is so long it takes quite a while to load! Anyway, Mineo, LotR, Shepard :)

it's limited to 1000 entries, de might hit that

en, obviously, does

murdos, http://mb.lmfao.org.uk/reports/wikipedia?d=fr ;) and lidel / czaja, http://mb.lmfao.org.uk/reports/wikipedia?d=pl

incidentally, eo had artists from: Brazil, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden :P

Oh, wait, I know someone who might: jesus2099, http://mb.lmfao.org.uk/reports/wikipedia?d=fr ;)

heh

For no particular reason

haha

en of course has artists from everywhere imaginable

Yeah

That's why I think it's more useful to filter by countries first

To make en more of an en kind of list

huh, amazing, nothing in jp

I guess we have lots of competent editors for jp stuff though, heh

that's because it's language codes, not country codes

japan is the second most common

(er, japanese)

oh, yeah, ja

I wish those were the same :/

Heh

Same about ee vs. et

yeah, us should be a language code

Indeed

That way we could have an gb.wikipedia one that wrote words in the British style!

(none, unsurprisingly)

heh

You could probably add many pop acts there

You could argue it fits more than en.

haha

heh oh man, 32k

Wow

More fi than es?

And so many sv?

Curious

Is it sad that I know all of those by heart? :P

No

It means you fit in

Oh good.

Adding a release... the "Edit Note" tab says "Release Group: (new release group)" when the "Release Information" tab shows that I'm using an existing release group? Has it always done that and I've just never noticed?

Oh well. It wound up in the right place. Alls well...

I think it issue, yes

FUCK my LAG eating words

I think it IS A KNOWN issue, yes

I have read something fairly similar lately while using the Scheduling Game
