Why did modbot see fit to tell me this: http://musicbrainz.org/edit/17402368

presumably it's explaining why that edit was entered

since it was probably automatic

ianmcorvidae: Hmm, I guess so. It doesn’t really seem like its useful information to send to me though, since I already know I edited the artist name

hawke_: voters

you aren't the target :P

then it shouldn’t be sent to me :-p

I read it as “hey, you didn’t need to change the artist, it was already changed over here”

go make a bug if you care, then :P

or even “edit failed, this other edit already did it”

yeah, there's a case for "edit notes modbot adds when it creates edits don't need to be sent to the person who caused those edits"

probably not enough of one for it to actually become a priority any time real soon, but :P

what is "works" meaning as type in MB?

shit where change lang at i18n.mbsandbox.org now i have chines or japan

ok go to browser pref

Seems this bug I manual edit site prif to Cyrillic lang encoding, but i still get hieroglyph

also it auto change when i go to "Browse" link

and in transifix translation no langs with hieroglyph

dubwai: not all languages are translated, and no, japanese is not there

dubwai: nikki's been playing with japanese lately; remember that i18n.mbsandbox.org is just a test server :)

i know, i try to help with russian translate

ah; we probably just haven't updated it recently, if you've been doing it on transifex lately

i18n.mbsandbox.org is a bit out-of-date

yesterday nikki give me this link to see translate results, 20 minutes ago all will good, but now hieroglyph instead of cyrillic

dubwai, are you asking about http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Work ?

yes

i never used it as editor

ohh, i alwas ignore wikis :-)

If it helps, an MB Work is similar to an FRBR Work, which you can maybe read about here: http://www.frbr.org/2006/02/10/in-russian

oh, wait, that's not what I thought it was. hold on.

too many hard words for me :-D

on your link

ok i understand what is it, at wiki

but it's really to translate some thing to russian because too many words no have exact translate

*hard

i try to see how they translated on *BIG* sites such as yandex.ru or vk.com

but they not music oriented

sorry, this is the frbr link I meant to paste: http://www.ifla.org/publications/translations-o...

for comparison, here is the FRBR Work in English: http://archive.ifla.org/VII/s13/frbr/frbr1.htm#3.2

what differences in meaning "Create an Account" an "Create Account" ?

*and

i don't think there's any difference in meaning between the two

ok i also thing the same

ha why this http://forums.musicbrainz.org/ have name "forumS"? it's single forum! or not?

seems that in english its normal

dubwai: It is several forums. :-)

i arleady google :-)

i think that forum it's single site :-)

Nope, forum just means basically place to get together and talk. And the site contains five of them: one for talking about website support, one for tagger support, one for style discussion, etc.

thx for detail answer

ugh, my screen session quit on me

How long ago did I get disconnected?

1:13-1:24 by my clock, nothing happened here or -devel

I'm more wondering what happened to my screen session

Anyone know an easy way to get album art of a release group?

of a release *group*? I guess query each release and choose one somehow

Last.fm and open album artwork only seem to do it for releases. maybe i should just pick an arbitrary release in the group

MB also just does by release

so probably

earliest official release, perhaps

navap: tail the log?

wag the log?

no?

Wag the tail?

pity

shower, school, test, bye!

[09:36] DWSRnavap: tail the log? <--

what did that mean? :)

tail (the command)

Which prints the last x lines from a file.

hm

(i.e. the tail end of the file)

says "unknown command" here

welli must go, schover, school test bye

shower*

CatCat: It's a Linux/Unix thing.

hi… i was wondering if there is a way to generate a feed for a list of bands to stay on track with their new releases?

goiken: muspy.com uses musicbrainz data to do exactly that :)

thank you :-)

We are supposed to do that ourselves too, but it isn't implemented yet :(

ah… but they allow me to enter a list… alright then

reosarevok: it's implemented, it's just got one outstanding bug and hasn't been turned on

Well, ok. The result is it doesn't work, anyway, which is the interesting part :p

But good to know it's only one bug away from readiness

transifex guys came through, now i am cool, but how do I "join the norwegian team"?

CatCat: you go to https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/musicbrain...

Click Join team

Request it

And I think either Wizzcat or an admin (nikki?) can approve the request

weird, that wasn't ther before

ok thanks reo, now i go for school

CatCat: approved

hum, is there a search engine for isrc's ?

in mb or elsewhere?

no, elsewhere, to put in mb

see the three external links on http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ISRC#Resources

those are the only ones we know of

thanks :-)

I did not think it would, but scpp.fr has the isrc's I was looking for, great :-)

can I convince anyone to fix http://musicbrainz.org/release/c2b36d08-1c58-4a... ? :P

tsince it's on discogs, sure I'll fix it

yay :D

weird, there's two artists named 'Scope DJ', both without disambiguation comment

or the release editor was just being buggy

or the edit artist form

it was a merge either way, so no big deal

umm

wtf, that's the tracks actual name?
