morning, is there a list of musicbrainz mirrors anywhere without a rate limiter?

I can put some server power behind a few mirrors, but would be good to test it first to see if its worth the effort

I'm not aware of a list of mirrors at all

guess I will make my own mirror then :)

Are rejected edits taken into account for lifting limited user status?

http://musicbrainz.org/user/MusicMatch%20Inc.

They are at 9 now.

9 accepted vs. 115 voted-down.

you missed the dot :)

And no, they shouldn't be

And gah that user

Oh, no, you didn't miss the dot, xchat is just stupid, sorry :)

he didn't, your client just didn't link it.

The question is: should they be.

dot is completely valid character in url

Most clients don't parse it at the end because it is also a completely valid sentence delimiter.

It's always awkward to end a sentence with an URL though.

Especially questions.

Seems I'm slow today :)

limited user wouldn't really matter with that, would it? it doesn't limit editing at all, just voting

Hmm, true.

I guess it's better to let them keep using that account, if only because their utter crap is easier to find that way

But argh :(

I don't understand why people are blindly voting no on all that editor's edits

I cherry-picked my no votes, though I guess some of the release adds might be okay with fixing.

some of the release adds I looked at linked to itunes and seemed fine except having the packaging set to jewel case... but still they had two no votes

Cover art sourced from Wikipedia should generally have better replacements.

I should check the Marina releases.

I didn't look at cover art, but perfectly-sourced release adds with a couple small issues are not a reason to vote No :/

(not at you)

Who are not here, it seems.

I don't think they're IRC people

But I suspect Senax is just no-voting everything by the guy

he said he is

Dunno.

And salo is just following the no-votes as usually

I've seen salo here occasionally, but

Somewhat understandable, but still not the best way to deal with dunces.

I mean, there's plenty of us around, if you think someone's edits need attention, find someone willing to do more than just vote no on everything whether it's right or not :/

I feel like I should go around blindly yes voting on things with no votes just to even up the numbers a bit :P

I've considered doing that before

heh

With the recent change to the editing system, three quick nos don't suffice to shoot down an edit. So there's more time to spot those edits and form your own opinion.

Maybe I should bookmark a search for edits with 2+ no votes.

I'm pretty sure the idea behind changing it wasn't to encourage people to do it even more though :P

v6lur: hmm, you don't happen to know if Metro Luminal are playing anything apart from the two festivals in Tallinn and Pärnumaa this summer, do you?

huh? i didn't even know they were playing anything at all!

which festivals?

The Patarei thingy, and that one in Kilingi-Nõmme

hey I’ve just found out that it was still possible to search edits according to any user’s vote, it’s just HIDDEN SEEKRET ! http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-5681

haha nice

The little wikipedia preview should skip italic text

the wikipedia preview needs a lot of work

is there a ticket for that?

Lotheric: no, it shouldn't

right now it comes straight from some API they have for mobile stuff, which is what decides what to exclude or not

no?

it should skip links to disambiguation pages, certainly

not *all* italics, presumably :P

Lotheric: wikipedia should use their own fucking templates for that, which are skipped by the API already

:)

reosarevok: it's not by templates, it's literally a list of types of elements to exclude :P

ianmcorvidae: however it works, what I know is that when it's done in the silly real-italics-text it is served, and when it's done properly with a template it's not

Fixed

(will show still I guess since it'll be cached)

well, italic or not, you get what I mean :)

what counts is the end result

hehe

https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fexte... :P

most of the templates use div is why it works :P

but it's stupid

and we should really be doing more of the parsing/formatting ourselves to work around the hackiness of their thing

though probably fetching interwiki stuff from wikidata should be first :P

Lotheric: Happy Canada Day

thanks

kepstin_: Happy Canada Day

navap: Happy Canada Day\

and anyone else i missed

for me it's happy overtime day though :)

300% ftw
