but would users gain any practical advantage?

ZaphodBeeblebrox: let me check

ZaphodBeeblebrox: yea, pm me an email address

ocharles: luks was kind enoughto already do it :) thank you still

ah, cool

http://musicbrainz.org/edit/15939348 looks like it needs some more eyes and some discussion outside of the two people who're talking right now, in case someone wants to check

and once you've voted on this edit, you can vote on http://musicbrainz.org/edit/16064154 that already circumvents the probable result of edit 15939348

congrats wikimedia! $20 millions collected! http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/01/02/wikimedia-...

Yeah, now if they found a way of doing that without annoying half-a-screen banners it would be amazing :p

(I admit it is impressive though)

yeah, I admit their banners were too agressive

I guess it *is* what works for them, but I'd love them to try and make them smaller and see if they get less donations because of it

(I also don't think such an approach would work on MB now because a huge part of our use comes via ws and we can't put banners there)

I do think some reminding about donations to MB makes sense though, maybe for example after blog posts for releases

well, just a small reminder - from time to time - about existence of donations would help

Especially the CAA one, for example

(the actual release, once the Archive is ready)

(not the code one)

yes, I agree

lolcat, what is tl dr territory ? :)

jesus2099: too long / don't read

tldr / "too long didn't read"

Yeah, that

wow, new one for me :)

murdos: it would seem the whole "begging for donations" thing does work :)

I know who ZaphodBeeblebrox is

ocharles: it does work for Wikipedia, which is a page based on actual views

Would it work for MB, based mainly on ws?

reosarevok: I was being a bit sarcastic with that comment

:p

(it does work, but wouldn't work as well for mb because we're just not as important as wikipedia)

True, but we don't need $20 million either :p

(they would be great, but we don't need them)

:P

ocharles, move to a cheaper country instead, instant raise :p

reosarevok: ah sometimes “they” ask for server names here, in the IRC ?

i'm doing it wrong, planning to move to a more expensive country :P

reosarevok: that's why MB should have a more appealing visual, and start being indexed by google

Which one was that?

reosarevok: the wiki page with server names :)

murdos, agreed on both counts, the visual part is harder, the index one should start soon I hope

What happened with it?

it should be one aim of MB to attract more website visits

jesus2099, that was at ocharles

:D

jesus2099: at you, "they" is ruaok, mostly, and yes

He sometimes asks for names here

three guys : ruoak, mostly and yes. ;)

LOL

Oh, but Yes are several guys!

(also, they're boring)

I like jiji and kiki but it probably sounds stupid out of context

All our server names do ;)

heh, jiji was one of the ones I was considering

That took a while, but complete catalogs are a godsend

reosarevok: and no, it's not on userscripts because it's still too basic

Yeah, as I said later, adding a "part./live/inst./cover" thing to it would be needed before it was useful for non-autoeditors

and not adding the work as soon as its clicked :P

Why not?

nikki: it’s nostalgic feeling, if you add them once, thanks :)

reosarevok: the number of times I've almost misclicked that link is crazy :P

And yet, *almost*

I've misclicked it once

Still not a big issue

Even less for non-autoeditors, who can just cancel

what userscript are you talking about?

murdos: "Add work from this recording" in the sidebar in the individual recording page

Something nikki and bitmap did a long time ago

reosarevok: it still gives me fright every time :/

+a

nikki: have you seen my update of http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/118691 in backlog?

yep, just looking now

ok

Yay, on to the last page! :D

murdos: do you have the single version in preview (streaming etc.) somewhere so I can maybe ear check myself your merge ?

I got my copy back (album version) and ripped it this time

jesus2099: no

resubmitted AcoustID / PUID

ah ben bravo

I only ask to be convinced

I’m not

yet

hey, maybe 10 heures !

(deezer) has it ?

I wonder if i'm the only one unable to connect to userscripts.org

I’ll try that tonight

Mineo: You’re the only one

Mineo: I just could a moment ago

(but it’s frequent slow down or crash because of auto updaters in some scripts)

http://userscripts.org/tags/musicbrainz works atm for me

hmm, I haven't been able to reach it for ... a few weeks?

(userscripts best page)

not even right now ?

no :/

it might be a proxy/firewall problem then.......

or your ISP ← hey I nkow some acronyms !

murdos: awesome, it works for works :D can I upload that version to userscripts?

or maybe you had a userjs with autoupdate too frquent (involuntarily) and then userscripts blacklisted your IP ?

Mineo: ↗

nikki: yes please ;)

isp is unlikely, it didn't work at my parents' house and the university network

nikki: of course you can

nikki: doesn’t work for japanese works

So no IP either. Mineo, maybe it just hates you

nikki: correction, it does not work for all of them (i tested only works that had wikipedia pages of course)

for example?

jesus2099: it doesn't now, that's why it needs a correction

(unless you mean murdos' correction)

アランフエス協奏曲〜第2楽章 - is gtranslate right in saying this is the Concierto de Aranjuez: II.?

http://musicbrainz.org/work/4e7f3ea4-7bb3-3f62-... doesn’t work although we have (even without disambig. comment) http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/COSMOS_(宇宙)

I didn’t even try funny stuff

I don't see a wikipedia link on that page

reosarevok: yes :)

Cool :)

reosarevok: it’s second somethgin←what’s the name for works ? it’s a chapter in a book for instance

Movement

second composition also

ah

(is the English name)

But yeah, that's what I needed :)

There are 3 of them ? see http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/アランフエス協奏曲

Yep

I know about the piece (it's Spanish)

I just needed to be sure it was the right one :)

Mineo: what’s your browser version ? that’s so strange !

Last page of the 22 of recordings! :D

I know the piece too, it’s great !

reosarevok: ↗

:)

nikki: http://musicbrainz.org/work/074910e9-6305-3e00-... works

nikki: maybe because of the “(…)” !!!!

jesus2099: the script retrieves Wikipedia urls from url ARs, you need to modify it if you want it to try to find pages based on the entity name

jesus2099: ok, this is really weird. I was going to say the browser most likely doesn't matter in this case, but for some reason, opera loads it (slow and without any css, but it does) :/

nikki: you might want to remove the "Right now it doesn't work for works." parts

reosarevok: so impatient! this site is really slow you know :P

Mineo: it just loaded slowly for me too (although it managed to load with CSS too)

kovacsur: OH ! How dumb (me) ! I thought it was AUTOMAGIC !

the admin tab always takes forever to load >_<

Mineo: OPERA RULES

jesus2099: of course, adding all the wiki pages you can to works is completely recommended! :D

reosarevok: you bet
