Maybe if you put it at the top of it?

I think we'd still have an UI problem if it is at the bottom

maybe...

it is a completely bogus property anyway

heh

you could also have a script per name

(*every* name, also for artists, tracks, recordings, label)

there is no reason why it belongs at release level, or even at tracklist level

it is clear in 99% cases (i.e. can be computer determined), and in the interesting cases (e.g. mixed script in tracklists) it can't be used

hrglgrmpf, heh, looking at the release your bot edited ( http://musicbrainz.org/release/b5e822f9-bbf3-4e... )

1983 South Africa CD?

Something sounds wrong to me :/

huuu :-)

it was the first one

heh

Discogs have no date for this one

it is 2 times on discogs:

:-)

should we add both links?

I... guess so?

In case more stuff gets added to the http://www.discogs.com/artist/Evoid one

hmm, I could also just fix discogs :-)

If you can, go ahead

I don't know...

I don't know if I am allowed to

they normally have this: only edit your own releases policy

(releases that you physically own)

Hmmm, *technically*, the 1983 date is possible

Although unlikely

remove it

99% this was meant as original release date, for the tags

hrglgrmpf, I've seen the back cover

It's copyright date

So basically, it can perfectly be a reissue - that one wouldn't change AFAIK

yes, would be cool

heh

I just can't handle all my subscriptions

>30 pages after 3 days

Actually, maybe I should add a ticket for that too

hrglgrmpf, even discounting your own bot's edits?

yes

I voted on all those

:/

just too much floating in

I have to unsubscribe from a few

I ran a script a month ago that subscribed me to every artist I have on my hard disk

heh

Ik

*Ok

If I did that I'd die

I suspect

But I imagine there are a few ones which get lots of edits

it's pretty equally...

I have a "stuff" folder (music I don't really care about but I don't want to delete music), and a "music" folder (music I like)

I thought this helps me categorize :-)

if I see edits coming in and think: "WTF is this artist, I don't even know" I move the music to "stuff"

heh

hrglgrmpf, (nikki, kepstin-laptop and SultS maybe too?): http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-3951

hrglgrmpf: I think setting ascii stuff to latin is fine if there's nothing set now

hrglgrmpf: although if you can figure out how to use unicode properties, [\p{ASCII}\p{Latin}] would include all the other latin characters too :P

nikki: I do it in rounds :-)

1. round -> ASCII

see how many are left

reosarevok I see it being useful, but maybe won't find much use by most of the users. Voted still

2. round -> Latin

see how many are left

SultS, that's why we people who *could* use it should vote on it ;)

but my code is slow :(

if there are still too many, look how many safe choices there can be made further :-)

I would vote for 12 months or even unscheduled maybe but I still want the ticket to be in and people to know some of us care :)

nikki: and your results will change every time you run the script :-):

(about doing ASCII first)

hrglgrmpf: yeah, but it's already brought up some weird stuff

I'm actually doing it super-safe: only if *all* names (artist credit, track name of the release, the mediums and the tracklist) are in ASCII, it will set the script

like 103 releases set to cyrillic which are really just latin

these are errors we only have because we allow setting the script by humans

yeah, exactly

So, nikki, should hrglgrmpf_bot go wild with setting ASCII to Latin?

I'd say, modbot should set the script automatically for the safe choices

Or is there any possible downside?

reosarevok: it is already going wild :-)

reosarevok: I already said so

Ok

Just making sure! :)

Yay for botting!

python mechanize is great... I didn't know it before I saw luks script

I had no idea that it is this easy to script the release editor...

I mean to automatically use it

mechanize exists for perl too

:o

and 'Network.HTTP.Browser' for Haskell

I've written my own http-handling module once for my b-thesis :-(

Doh, I wrote 2 mailing list posts on the train tuesday morning, and forgot to actually send them

maybe we need language guessing, too...

who will categorize 65032 releases without language?

http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/35fz9t/ :p

hrglgrmpf: we used to have something in mason that would try and guess the language... it gave some pretty hilarious results

s/hilarious/awesome

Except for actually using them that is

nikki: I'm using pythons guessLanguage for my mails, it works pretty good

I think if all the track names are put together in one long string, it can work pretty well

hrglgrmpf, care to make a test? :)

well, later :-)

I mean in genersl

*general even

like, only setting "English" if it is >99% sure would help alot

just to make the report interesting again

I think something like ocharles's scheduling thing would probably work though, detect the language of a bunch of things, and then show people a screen with the tracklist and the guess where they can say yes or no

Hmmm

well, but if I just get 1000 times a normal English tracklist, I will give up because it is boring

hrglgrmpf, add filter-by-language!

People who are bori... I mean, monolingual can use the English list

:p

well if you detect the language first, you could store the percentage too and make sure people don't get 1000 99% matches :P

unless they want it...

hmm, I always asked myself what "Multiple languages" is giving us

basically nothing...

yes, that is good

nikki: hmm, if you feel like it, you can add the license type I think :-)

it has been around for 2 weeks now :-)

ok

license!

:)

I'm still not sure how to support it properly by the server though

Yeah

so that download URL and license can be selected both at the same time

but should be possible

I would -re-add the page we used to have

?

does that mean they deleted the account?

Oh, hrglgrmpf: I was thinking about the discogs artist edits

How are you processing them?

hrglgrmpf: e.g. http://classic.musicbrainz.org/edit/relationshi...

Would it be possible to autoedit them if a) Discogs has only 1 artist with that name and b) the coincidence is over a certain threshold?
