ah ok I wait 1 minute and then ok

how are you posting to the list? it might just be a restriction on that interface.

they tell me etiquette blabla and link me to « What is a mailing list ? » http://n4.nabble.com/help/Answer.jtp?id=17 but i know what is a ML, it’s a total crap  ;P

ok done, i have to wait 1 or 2 minute between each post or something like that

ah, yeah, that restriction is just on nabble because they don't want people to use nabble for spam

if you sent emails directly, you wouldn't have that problem.

sending e-mails ? oww, come on…  ;)

or through gmane

gmane is superior to mail-archive and nabble

email is hard, let’s go shopping? :-)

gmane is quite strange stuff i don’t understand it :)

if you use emacs, you can connect to it from the gnus newsreader

well, all nabble does is take the stuff you type in, convert it to an email from a fake address, then send it to the list.

uh oh

or you can use the web interface

(well, or any other news reader program :P)

Thunderbird! :-D

kepstin-work: not a fake adress it’s only me setting a fake adress, otherwise you’re supposed to post with your true validated adress

but that’s not jesus2099 friendly

jesus2099: we don't allow secondary release types to be used only for one primary type.

just fyi :)

and when the same artist has both mini album and EP ? (like Galneryus)

IIRC

ah then would add "mini-album" is ok

and maxi-single is... tricky. it's more of a media description (12cm vs 8cm or 12" vs 7")

indeed

not only

and we already record the media size :)

in fr when we had singles. they were all on 12cm but we had singles (A or A+B) and maxi sinfgles (more than A+B)

I would support adding "Mini-Album" as a new primary type, but not as a secondary type.

imo mini albums should be displayed in line with albums, not appart, this is why i prefer sub-type

I would argue that a mini-album is a short album therefore an album

well, subtypes can be used with any primary type.

(thinking of onmyo-za)

maybe subtypes can be used with any primary type is a limitation that must be got rid of ?

Lotheric: it really is a separate type of release, imo; particularly in japanese usage.

jesus2099: no, that's the reason for secondary types

they aren't subtypes

ah

New image uploader is awesome, btw.

primary types are for things that are exclusive - something can't be an album and single at the same time

but mini albums i know in jpn are not to be extracted out of the album timeline

secondary types can be combined with other things.

like Lotheric they are just smaller albums

says

so not different from album, just smallers

but then we have EP that are shorter LP

hehe

but EP are apart from albums

mini albums shouldn’t

EP are like "side projects"

not always

like hors-série (don’t know how to say)

flamingspinach: what is mail-archive ?

jesus2099: http://www.mail-archive.com/

any of opera users here have migrated to the new chromium opera yet ?

http://www.mail-archive.com/musicbrainz-style [at lists.musicbrainz.org]/ in particular

to be honset when i end up on such pages in web searches i usually fear away  ;)

but thanks ) :

ok, my 413 Request Entity Too Large... seems come from to be trying to add a jpg, however it is under the 10mb limit

no chromium opera migrated peoeplK ?

snartal: 10mb is huge for a bug screenshot

I just updated it

you should be more around 100k something

Lotheric: the superior to v12 ?

v13 or something ?

opera:about

v12.16 it says it's the latest

My screenshot is 1.25mb.... I was referring to where it says maximum file upload size is 10.00mb

updated from within the program

ah ok so you’re still in "normal" opera, like me… the nexrt one is so different they don’t force it with the inline updater

it’s like you loose every thing… IRC, e-mail, shortcuts, hacking, feeds, etc.

I just use it when I have a problem with a specific site to compare (or I try with Firefox wihch I have as well)

ouch that's a radical change

because it seems they have dropped everything and they took chromium with an opera logo  :/

adding just mouse gestures (from the huge opera feature list) back in

ok, I zipped it and it worked.... dunno what is up with that.

zipping a jpeg ?

sounds wrong

Dunno what to tell ya, it worked.

well, ya know…

flamingspinach: do you have a screen that wide ?

omgbbq

how wide?

like your picture

what picture

sorry it’s snartal

why do i keep thinking of you all the time, flamingspinach

it must be love

 ?

something like that, maybe

snartal: you're aware that the artist credit renaming happens in a different numbered edit, right?

ok, then modbot should be adding a comment linking to those other edits :)

it’s a regression

there’s a ticket

ah, a regression in the modbot

flamingspinach: I don't see another edit under my open edits

there was a modbot text to link batch edits

flamingspinach: in the edit in question, there were no additional artist credit renaming edits generated.

flamingspinach: even though the user interface made it appear that the artist credits would be changed.

kepstin-work: oh

well, I'm glad that it's not the opposite problem :)

if I unchecked those boxes and it still edited the artist credits that would suck

So, if I do a rename artist credits... is there going to be additional modbot edits I will not see under my open edits?

they have changed to be your own edits now

recently

snartal: all edits generated by you doing things on the website should appear under your account now :)

ok, because I did a merge artist... all I get is a line which says "Rename Artist Credits Yes"

can I get some votes on this for tagging purposes? http://musicbrainz.org/edit/23276373

looking for some votes for this so i can start merging some recordings: http://musicbrainz.org/edit/23265979

Opinions Please: VIAF "Purpose" (listed as a group, with what is on the artist cover as an alternate) ... or Artist Cover "Bam Crawford's Purpose" .. or ... AllMusic/Discogs "Bam Crawford"?

most common as on cover

If they’re always “Bam Crawford’s Purpose” use that

if they’re usually “Purpose” but have a few releases as “Bam Crawford’s Purpose” then artist name “Purpose” with appropriate Artist Credits on the relevant release.

“Bam Crawford” seems wrong if he’s an actual person

(Presumably Bam Crawford would be a member of Bam Crawford’s Purpose though)

*she. ;-)

one of the things I've had knocking around in the back of my mind is a person/eponymous-band relationship.

Seems its already there.

is it?

Snartal's Really Cool Band is a group, of which Snartal, the artist is a member of.

that doesn't specify that it's an eponymous band specifically

ah, but this is more than member. it's more like, "any discography of [person] should include the discography of [eponymous band]". Like with e.g. Miles Davis

though it is a reasonable point that 'eponymous' could work as an attribute of member-of

CallerNo6: wanting a group's releases to show up on an artists page is not the same thing as a group having the name of the artist :)

agreed, I can't think of why an attribute wouldn't work

don't confuse the two :)

if we have an attribute indicating that a group takes its name from an artist, that would be separate from the relationship or attribute that indicates that the group's releases should be shown on the artist page.

one thing that would help here is having a real Person (as reosarevok is fond of asking for) rather than conflating artist and person

kepstin-work: understood. ianmcorvidae: agreed

(as in, there's the person itself and there's the person's role as a solo artist, and those are different things XD)

not that I'm volunteering to implement any of this crap, of course, but :P

man, we should just start a world-wide service that assigns every single person a uuid and stores all of their personal information.

:P

totally. because names are just search hints.

Yep, scan and chip them at birth!
