        ruaok: rather late response but it looks like it's back, people have been uploading stuff

        • 2012-05-14 13522, 2012

      • ruaok
        yeah,seems it was fixed about 6 hours ago

        • 2012-05-14 13517, 2012

      • nikki
        yay, 8328 open/applied add cover art edits

        • 2012-05-14 13504, 2012

      • ruaok
        nice.

        • 2012-05-14 13508, 2012

      • ruaok
        moving right along.

        • 2012-05-14 13522, 2012

        • 2012-05-14 13513, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        stuff's been adding slightly slower than, say, the first day

        • 2012-05-14 13518, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        but it's still going at a very nice clip :D

        • 2012-05-14 13508, 2012

      • nikki
        yeah, and the number of new cover art relationships has dropped right down. only one in the last few days

        • 2012-05-14 13558, 2012

      • nikki
        I imagine people are still adding asins though

        • 2012-05-14 13507, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        well, asins are still useful :P

        • 2012-05-14 13523, 2012

      • nikki
        I mean that people are probably still adding them to get cover art

        • 2012-05-14 13505, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae spins up my "add cover art to the main timeline graph" branch on my sandbox so I can graph this :P

        • 2012-05-14 13516, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        http://ianmcorvidae.mbsandbox.org/statistics/time…

        • 2012-05-14 13530, 2012

      • nikki
        do we track how many cover art relationships there are?

        • 2012-05-14 13539, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        uh

        • 2012-05-14 13543, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        don't think so, no

        • 2012-05-14 13552, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        we don't have things for individual relationships

        • 2012-05-14 13554, 2012

      • nikki
        bah

        • 2012-05-14 13518, 2012

      • nikki
        that graph needs more x-axis labels

        • 2012-05-14 13532, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        yeah, it's optimized for longer time periods

        • 2012-05-14 13535, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        because it does it by month :P

        • 2012-05-14 13503, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        by which I mean, because the labeling is by month

        • 2012-05-14 13517, 2012

      • nikki
        tsk tsk. all my maths teachers would have knocked marks off for that ;)

        • 2012-05-14 13536, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        heh, having full days just meant that the labels were unreadable :P

        • 2012-05-14 13527, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        I guess you could re-run the MB.Timeline.setupGraphing command to change it :P

        • 2012-05-14 13536, 2012

      • nikki
        I don't care that much :P

        • 2012-05-14 13508, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        yeah

        • 2012-05-14 13513, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        although you should at least file a bug for it

        • 2012-05-14 13525, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        no guarantees that I or anyone else will look at it, but worth having it documented :P

        • 2012-05-14 13542, 2012

      • demosdemon
        on 1/9/12, there was the most edits ever in a 1 week span 131,364

        • 2012-05-14 13535, 2012

      • nikki
        you're from the future :o

        • 2012-05-14 13552, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        you don't use american date ordering :P

        • 2012-05-14 13501, 2012

      • nikki
        yeah, I know :P

        • 2012-05-14 13521, 2012

      • nikki
        I had to think about what it meant, so I couldn't resist making fun of you guys :P

        • 2012-05-14 13523, 2012

      • demosdemon
        I usually avoid the confusion by listing the short form of the month

        • 2012-05-14 13549, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        I usually expand things out too, yeah

        • 2012-05-14 13513, 2012

      • nikki just uses yyyy-mm-dd

        • 2012-05-14 13516, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        I should just start using the japanese markers

        • 2012-05-14 13532, 2012

      • demosdemon
        or unix timestamps

        • 2012-05-14 13534, 2012

      • nikki
        which will be meaningless to almost everyone here :P

        • 2012-05-14 13534, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        and yeah, year-first is usually unambiguous

        • 2012-05-14 13551, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        sure, but it'd be clear if people looked it up :P

        • 2012-05-14 13509, 2012

      • nikki
        could confuse everyone and use japanese eras >:D

        • 2012-05-14 13521, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        heh

        • 2012-05-14 13539, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        I don't even know how those work, so 'everyone' is probably right :P

        • 2012-05-14 13557, 2012

      • nikki
        I have actually seen a couple of releases listed on websites with the era years

        • 2012-05-14 13516, 2012

      • nikki
        I know in theory how they work, but I have no idea when each era starts and therefore have no idea what year it is now

        • 2012-05-14 13542, 2012

      • demosdemon
        I really hate the Gregorian system

        • 2012-05-14 13524, 2012

      • nikki
        ah. apparently it's heisei 24

        • 2012-05-14 13520, 2012

      • nikki
        I suppose "H22.2.22" was just too much fun to resist

        Hmmm

        • 2012-05-14 13504, 2012

      • demosdemon
        I know know more about the Japanese era system than I think I ever needed to know

        • 2012-05-14 13512, 2012

      • demosdemon
        s/know/now

        • 2012-05-14 13555, 2012

      • demosdemon
        but, it's also really easy

        • 2012-05-14 13550, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        yeah, I mean, it's just an assigned-prefix system

        • 2012-05-14 13556, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        the hard part is knowing what prefixes relate to what dates :P

        • 2012-05-14 13538, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        although conveniently the current era started the same year I was born evidently

        • 2012-05-14 13525, 2012

      • demosdemon
        January 1, 1989 was the first day of the year 昭和６４年 (Showa 64). But the Emperor died on January 7, 1989...so Showa 64 was only one week long. January 8, 1989 began the current "Heisei Era".

        • 2012-05-14 13547, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        yeah, 1989 is both S64 and H1 depending when in the year

        ianmcorvidae: i'm no perl hacker, so would you like a python script that makes a datafile from an MBID that already has cover art?

        • 2012-05-14 13552, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Well, ideally you're not supposed to do that, but to use the actual images from each release

        hi! about cover art: http://musicbrainz.org/release/19897eed-4630-451e… the only source for the cover art of this single is : http://www.bored4music.com/2012/04/new-single-bes…

        yes it does. so it's ok to add it? save it to my computer and upload it under the cover art tab?

        another doubt. added this when there was nothing on amazon. http://musicbrainz.org/release/05454821-481c-480e… (http://itunes.apple.com/album/whyd-you-have-to-be…)

        now amazon has it but the release date is different. http://www.amazon.com/Whyd-You-Have-Good-Single/d… (one week difference)

        can I associate the ASIN or it's best to leave it like that and add a cover like I did on best coast?

        Different people have different opinions on that being one release or two

        In any case, if you can add a cover that'll always help MB more than just an ASIN ;)

        even if my source for the cover is amazon?
