not getting too many trick-or-treaters...

...and fuck. Here come the 502s again.

what is the best criteria or rules to merge identical recordings ? please see this link it has multiple recordings : https://musicbrainz.org/search?query=+Bolo+Bolo...

Well, a basic starter is that they should be the same length

Be sure to check the AcoustIDs

can somebody please confirm the release merge is good : https://musicbrainz.org/edit/29904436

wardhan: is that actually a 2-disc release?

No, it isn't.

hawke: no. when i selected merge it has shown error that artists are different.

I highly doubt CDs were commercially available in 1982.

(in India, at least)

wardhan: The reason the track artists were different is because of https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Style/Specific_typ...

(which may need to be adjusted for Bollywood releases)

HibiscusKazeneko: so should i cancel the edit ? and merge both recordings individually ?

Yes. Please merge the recordings. The releases will have to say separate.

(I suspect the version from 1982 is either an LP or cassette)

HibiscusKazeneko: ok. i will right away merge the recodings one by one.

Please post the edit links here when you do.

HibiscusKazeneko: i did first try with "Merge mediums and recordings"but it has thrown up error both have different artists.

Please, do not attempt to merge the releases. They appear too different to be the same.

HibiscusKazeneko: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/29904588, https://musicbrainz.org/edit/29904587, https://musicbrainz.org/edit/29904582, https://musicbrainz.org/edit/29904578, https://musicbrainz.org/edit/29904576

voted :)

HibiscusKazeneko: thank you :)

no prob

same recording appears with slightly different name. one is short form & other long form appear on 2 different releases : https://musicbrainz.org/recording/19c1f84f-2752... & https://musicbrainz.org/recording/ed2ee579-34cd...

should i merge them or create some sort of relationship ? please advice.

or is it okay to use work from https://musicbrainz.org/recording/ed2ee579-34cd... & create relationship with release https://musicbrainz.org/release/83d6831c-a0f8-4...

they seem to be the same artist, same song, same time so go ahead and merge. just be a little careful if they are different ie a live performance vs studio recording etc

dns53: just now seen ur message. merging right now.

would anyone care to vote on this edit? http://musicbrainz.org/edit/29905312

adding a bunch of release will be easier if I don't have to pre-edit the artist credits to match this edit on each release

*releases

flamingspinach: I voted.

thanks :)

FULLWITH TILDE is a de facto standard of Microsoft. I think that I should use WAVE DASH.

よかったね、生き甲斐を果たせて

In print, shaped so the same, does not matter either. However, I think that I should be standardized when I entered into the database.

I agree :)

xps2: ちなみに一応さっきは MBChatLogger に話しかけてたんだけど、勘違いされたかなｗ

flamingspinach: なるほど

Hm. The tilde looks better here than the dash, but that's probably a font issue.

Freso: yeah, and the dash is more "correct" anyway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilde#Unicode_and...

Freso: e.g. メイリオ(Meiryo) is same shape. http://i.imgur.com/aGe8P8Z.png

DO you guys know if murdos comes around sometimes?

Many people are highly allergic against nuts.

uuhhh

don't ask for candy from strangers if you're alergic to something that is usualy a contenceof candy?

idk

xps2: https://imgur.com/vUjDdGj

also even zooming in http://i.imgur.com/aGe8P8Z.png they look identical pixel for pixel

Freso: those doesn't :D

Hence why I said "here" and "probably a font issue".

also look identical here

probably try downloading code 2000? or maybe that's the issue

... I don't really care about it?

well sorry for suggesting it then

hrmph

They both are represented properly and I'm not going to be looking at too many wave dashes at any one point.

:)

ZaphodBeeblebrox: I just posted the image to show xps2 that just because the same symbol is used for both characters on his system, does not make it universally so. I also voted yes on the edit, so it's not like it was an objection to it either.

I don't really care either.

For being a wave, I actually like that symbol more than the other one.

and that I cnt have a cheese sandwich or noodles with broccoli&cheese unless I do so

Waves are usually symbolised starting at the baseline, not at the top or the bottom of it.

*represented

Freso: then you have to define which is "that one" ;)

The one on my system.

but anyway. i ant eat chocolate unless i buy it

cant even

Freso: I only gave the example which looked same. I know that an appearance depends on the environment. Not appearance but the meaning of WAVE DASH is right. Therefore, I voted.

xps2: And so did I.

In Japanese CD, a tilde is used by neither a subtitle nor paraphrasing. Mostly, it is not TILDE but WAVE DASH. A long time ago, TILDE was used instead of WAVE DASH. Therefore, in the web page, it may be a tilde.

xps2: ... I voted, yes. You don't have to convince me.

Eh.

* I voted yes.

Freso: I know. Sorry, I only wrote for other persons.

Is there a way to disable the auto-editor checkbox by default?

because some edit failed a while ago because of a no-vote and I disagreed so I thought I'd re-enter the edit so more people could vote. And I failed tu uncheck the box and I feel like a d***

It's gone now, anyway :p

You now have a "make edits votable" one, and you should not check it by default anyway

We want to move towards more edits being autoedits, not less

You can always revert the edit, then re-enter it as an open edit, anyway :)

reosarevok: I don't check it by default, it is checked by default :/

The new one is not

But what I mean is that you *should* auto-edit by default

In the rare case something should not be an autoedit, and you forget, just revert and re-enter

The only non-reversible edits are the ones you won't be allowed to auto-edit anyway, so

Reverting in this case can't be an auto-edit

I can auto-edit add relationships, can't remove them as an auto-edit

Oh

Oh well

In that case, a vote on the removal is basically equivalent to a vote on the add

Only difference is the rel is there for up to 7 days, which doesn't sound tragic

:)

It's weird though to enter an edit I don't want in the first place :p

a bit, admittedly, but

I don't want the remove edit to pass

Well I can no-vote it for you :p

Unless I think it should stay, that is :D

What is it anyway?
