I think people sometimes don't get what MB is/isn't.

Do we actually *know* what MB is/isn't, CallerNo6? :D

hahaha

I think everyone in the team has a different answer :p

(and I don't even want to imagine the rest of the users :p)

er, what they think of it, not them in general :p

What I meant was, I think from the outside it might look like a database of tags for picard to use, rather than a serious data source.

At least, I /hope/ people wouldn't have such cavalier attitudes (if they understood how seriously mb-editors take the project)

mbz is srsbsns

internet is srs bzns in general

we need CatCat to whip us up a meme

something like, whenever you put false releases in musicbrainz we kill a puppy

voting choices: yes / no / abstain / you will wake up with a puppy head in your bed

A disc with same barcode and cat no, made in other country, is a new release or just a new release event?

Made or sold?

If it has different text and logos and made in X stuff, different release

no.. just the medium is different: one is cd silver, other cd black

one made in Holland, other in Germany..

but following what u told, probably are different releases.. Am I right?

Yep

reosarevok: thank you!

what's the procedure with these?

I brought it to y'all's attention this morning

so should I just cancel?

heh

Let's look

um, thanks?

it'll still fail because of that No vote

(I abstained while I was looking at a ton of edits looking for wrong things and abstaining on the rest)

No, it won't, 2-1 now

I figured as much

But still, I wonder wtf :/

me too

he just sniped me with it without explanation

looking at his other edits it seemed he either made a mistake or was trying to be vindictive

Possibly just a mistake? Dunno, don't think I know the editor

he was voting almost always on merge edits

most of his votes were Yes

the only other No votes I saw, he left notes

iced in for another day

anyone votes on http://musicbrainz.org/release/cca2c698-8e31-40... ?

derwin: There are no open edits as far as I can tell.

someone must have approved

I'm pondering attempting to leave the house tomorrow

the streets are covered in ice

aren't you in texas?

I am

we had a huge ice storm Thursday night

it hasn't melted yet

huh...

yeah, I know, it's unusual

all the schools are closed

I can't quite get my head around the idea of somewhere I always imagine as being really hot having ice

apparently it's warmer here than there o_O

it gets excruciatingly hot in summer

but our winters are flaky

the entire US has been unusually cold

this is sheets of ice, too

snow can be shoveled; ice has to be crushed or melted

clearly you need ice skates :P

I have some

but I'm a fatass, so the ice would shatter under me and the blades would dull

I have some too, but they haven't been used for years. I never live close enough to an ice rink

mine had to be custom made... twice

I have huge feet (US size 12)

approximately 42 in European sizing IIRC

I had to learn these when shoe shopping at Nordstrom

I've given up on shoe sizes, even the same brand varies way too much

I assume your feet are small enough you can shop anywhere

nope

damn

welcome to the club

heh, I had a look and it seems most of my shoes are sketchers (labelled as eu 42, uk 8, us 11), but the reason I have so many is because I find their sizing more generous and can therefore fit my stupid feet into a higher proportion of their shoes compared to other brands

I haven't owned a decent pair of Skechers in years

I have one left over from high school but my feet are too long for them now

the first ones I got were in america in 2004, I still have them...

I was still growing in 2004

I only have 1 semi-decent pair of shoes from then

a pair of off-brand Mary Janes we bought for my cousin's wedding

the tread is completely worn off the bottom

a meme? every time you delete a release from the database, another albion moose gets shot :( please think of the moose!"

also its.. 9th f december!

psh i they close scholes in .tx for a bit of ice and 3 degrees c? please

are there 6 inches of ice on the streets?

well not now, but will be later in the year

it's called "holke"

we use ice and sant

sand*

they said on the news that they either didn't have any or it wasn't working

lol not working

local governments are obsessed with budget cuts

they refuse to stock winter supplies, thinking we won't need them

well it *is* texas

not exactly the "winter capital" pf america

:)

I know

I ran into people at school who didn't own anything warmer than hoodies

well hoodies are warm? just put a jacket on top

was it I'm doing ot day

that's all they had

no jackets

one jacket?

erh hoodie

I didn't ask

I was wearing a knee-length cashmere coat

I finally bought a proper coat last year. until then the best I had was a fleece jacket

oh mani wore my fleech jaket foreve

snow! to bad it wil all melt tomorrow since plus degrees. but it's probably snow again

first time this year it snowed yesterday

and it's my birthday! D

:D

I have to drive 2 hours to get to some real snow though :)

I don't think I've ever seen enough snow to ski on

2 hours, isn't that enough to cross half of austria already?:)

Two hours barely gets me to the next real town.

1/4 of austria probably :)

I can get to salzburg in 4 hours, which is probably in the half

Someone savvy about what language this might be ? https://musicbrainz.org/release/f640544a-a33c-4...

some language spoken in Mali, apparently

possibly Bambara?

yeah, looks like Bambara is right http://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwmusic/article/M...
