      • reosarevok
        Why?
      • 2012-05-25 14615, 2012

      • reosarevok
        It informs you an artist you're supposed to care about has been deleted
      • 2012-05-25 14627, 2012

      • reosarevok
        You can take action on it, for example by re-adding it with links this time
      • 2012-05-25 14636, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (which is the problem for most people who get that mail :p)
      • 2012-05-25 14655, 2012

      • reosarevok
        And if you added it by mistake and that's why you didn't use it, now you can happily know it's no longer there
      • 2012-05-25 14656, 2012

      • reosarevok
        :)
      • 2012-05-25 14605, 2012

      • hawke_1
        Well, in this case it was a merge.
      • 2012-05-25 14641, 2012

      • reosarevok
        So, you can shout at them if it was wrong :p
      • 2012-05-25 14600, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (but I think with merges, you end up being subscribed to the artist it was merged into... maybe not though)
      • 2012-05-25 14606, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (if not, you probably should be...)
      • 2012-05-25 14650, 2012

      • hawke_1
        I think I was already subscribed.
      • 2012-05-25 14607, 2012

      • reosarevok
        That's what usually happens to me :)
      • 2012-05-25 14621, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I add it, find out I added it years earlier with a hyphen or something, merge
      • 2012-05-25 14648, 2012

      • hawke_1
        can I complain about the fact that it gives the artist number instead of a name?
      • 2012-05-25 14622, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Yes
      • 2012-05-25 14629, 2012

      • reosarevok
        :p
      • 2012-05-25 14636, 2012

      • hawke_1
        (now I’m just digging for things to complain about)
      • 2012-05-25 14640, 2012

      • reosarevok
        You definitely can complain about that one
      • 2012-05-25 14646, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (not sure how simple a fix it is)
      • 2012-05-25 14647, 2012

      • hawke_1
        I would guess simple, but I dunno either
      • 2012-05-25 14637, 2012

      • hawke_1
        Ah, the reason I was thinking it was warning me every day is because I had it happen twice, and didn’t notice that the number was different
      • 2012-05-25 14607, 2012

      • hawke_1
        one was a merge, one was an auto-delete of an artist I accidentally duplicated and then didn’t use.

      • reosarevok
        No, but we have none that say "use wrong caps" either :p
      • 2012-05-25 14652, 2012

      • warp
        ok, fixed.

        Hmm, http://musicbrainz.org/edit/17748486 seems to do absolutely nothing.
      • 2012-05-25 14604, 2012

      • hawke_1 tries again
      • 2012-05-25 14606, 2012

      • hawke_1
        Yeah, that’s not working.
      • 2012-05-25 14637, 2012

      • hawke_1
        Also, the system isn’t letting me cancel http://musicbrainz.org/edit/17574797

      • hawke_1
        Is something Very Very Broken, or is it just me?
      • 2012-05-25 14647, 2012

      • hawke_1
        Oh, it got closed about half an hour after the no-vote
      • 2012-05-25 14652, 2012

      • hawke_1
        and about 5 minutes ago

        Can anyone else swap ’round the track/recording associations for tracks 8 and 9 of disc 2?
      • 2012-05-25 14602, 2012

      • hawke_1
      • 2012-05-25 14612, 2012

      • reosarevok
        huh
      • 2012-05-25 14619, 2012

      • reosarevok
        They do have the same name as the tracks...
      • 2012-05-25 14626, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Should I change those too?
      • 2012-05-25 14641, 2012

      • hawke_1
        I don’t know; I didn’t.
      • 2012-05-25 14646, 2012

      • hawke_1
        It’s apparently a misprint on the cover
      • 2012-05-25 14620, 2012

      • hawke_1
        I just want to get the recordings changed so I can re-do that edit.
      • 2012-05-25 14608, 2012

      • hawke_1
        Updated to the correct one
      • 2012-05-25 14652, 2012

      • ocharles
        hawke_1: the edit actually looks correct
      • 2012-05-25 14658, 2012

      • ocharles
        the display is the broken bit
      • 2012-05-25 14607, 2012

      • ocharles
        i'm going to try approving that and seeing what happens :)
      • 2012-05-25 14628, 2012

      • ocharles
        hawke_1: tracks 8 & 9 are what we're looking for a change in, ya?
      • 2012-05-25 14605, 2012

      • reosarevok
        ocharles: I think so
      • 2012-05-25 14611, 2012

      • reosarevok
        yeah
      • 2012-05-25 14620, 2012

      • ocharles
        k, don't think that worked
      • 2012-05-25 14658, 2012

      • reosarevok
        ocharles: actually, it did
      • 2012-05-25 14639, 2012

      • ocharles
        it did?
      • 2012-05-25 14643, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Yeah
      • 2012-05-25 14645, 2012

      • ocharles
        it didn't do what I expected then
      • 2012-05-25 14604, 2012

      • ocharles
        I was expecting track 8 to have mbid 4faeba10-39f5-451a-9c00-2c1ab64c2c27
      • 2012-05-25 14608, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Apparently they were wrongly ordered, and hawke_1 didn't change titles on the release because he was going to merge it anyway
      • 2012-05-25 14620, 2012

      • reosarevok
        So he only switched the recordings
      • 2012-05-25 14630, 2012

      • hawke_1
        Right

But overall it’s better, of course ! sadly I will be quite not available next week to review all this stuff be quite busy… Hope to get the chance to read and “vote” in http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/User:Reosarevok/Overv…

      • 2012-05-25 14636, 2012

      • reosarevok
        So mostly, the doubt was if it looked more useful
      • 2012-05-25 14638, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Good to see it does
      • 2012-05-25 14615, 2012

      • jesus2099
        Yes it does, but rthat’s maybe just my opinion :) but it does as it is closer to what it was before and what it was before was better than what it is now, IMO ;)

      • 2012-05-25 14616, 2012

      • reosarevok
        What would be the point? You want to vote with a +10? :p
      • 2012-05-25 14637, 2012

      • CatCat
        no i want to not be a head in the crowd
      • 2012-05-25 14647, 2012

      • CatCat signed with "1+" :P
      • 2012-05-25 14621, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Well, the idea is that it's clear what the vote is for. If you want to put "Plus I" to feel special, do so :p
      • 2012-05-25 14622, 2012

      • 2012-05-25 14613, 2012

        I mean, either have two lists, one for official stuff and one for everything, including official stuff
      • 2012-05-25 14622, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Or two lists, one for official only and one for unofficial only

        regarding “no status” I think it makes a lot more sense to assume they’re official — that way someone looking at the “main discography” ;-) can correct it and mark it as the right status
      • 2012-05-25 14601, 2012

      • reosarevok

        reosarevok: Regarding compilations— is “hidden until requested” still showing them among all the others when requested, or having a hidden compilations section that appears when requested?

        luks: Has the new-acoustID submission rate been pretty linear?
      • 2012-05-25 14639, 2012

      • hawke_1
        or has it petered out a bit?
      • 2012-05-25 14616, 2012

      • hawke_1
        (as people have already submitted the most common stuff)

        hawke_1: I'd say it's about linear for some time now

        still having more new acoustids every day that mb has puid submissions
      • 2012-05-25 14620, 2012

      • hawke_1
        luks: Are those new acoustIDs (or new fingerprints at least) only, or any submission even if already known?
      • 2012-05-25 14634, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        well, the question is how much *unique* music you have, versus the other people who've submitted -- but you should definitely acoustid everything you have anyway :)
