Any French speakers about? http://musicbrainz.org/release/9faa156e-eadb-49... track 7, I feel like the parenthesized portion should be (Éveils infâmes) rather than (éveils infâmes). Thoughts?

hi folks, Popular a decade ago (in the UK at least) were CD singles that had 2 releases, with different tracks, remixes, etc. Is there official style guidelines for entering release titles for these. Obviously in teh same single release group should have say (CD1) and (Cd2) on them. Or nothing at all if nothing is on teh cover.

I have seen different ways of doing this thus looking for guidelines.

Rovastar: I remember that. but as far as guide for it.. uhh th only one I can think of to know is nikki. it might work if you pm her?

she ight be busy thoguh

Rovastar: this has been discussed various times in the past on the style mailinglist. I think it's OK to put them in the same release group, and probably in most cases the CD1 or CD2 should be in the disambiguation comment field, not the release title.

hrm, : The data you’ve seeded contained the following errors:

Unknown field: as_auto_editor

Hi, I'm Rishav and I'm interested in participating in GSoC'15

neat

I went through the ideas page but most of the ideas seemed exausted?

What kind of projects are you looking for in the next term?

babel42: I'm not sure, but there are ppl here generally...

Hello, I have a couple of questions

Tre0n: welcome

1, when a song has X feat. Y, and Y is a member of a band that's already in MusicBrainz, do I credit the band or make a new page for the individual?

feat is a little complicated

Yeah I gather

but in general you would probably add the artist as an individual

derwin okay

sampsyo: do you have beets gsoc

righto

I'm editing an album with many featured artists that don't exist in MB yet

Is there some easy way to add them all?

I'd think MB would auto-generate or something, but I can't put in the edit without crediting something in the MB database

am I in for creating 5+ new artist pages here?

ZaphodBeeblebrox CatCat i don’t have ebay account and it shows Australia as my country !? so i can’t help you.

when you're selecting an artist, there's an option at the bottom of the popup for creating an artist

I didn't see that, one sec

might have to scroll

check some of the existing artists first though, if you select one the preview turns into a link to their page

yeah righto

what's the case if an album is released in a foreign country, but the song titles are all clearly in english with no trace of any other language?

do we apply english style guidelines?

derwin: no, never done that -- think we should?

Hi

I've an error message on your website

Attribute (position) does not pass the type constraint because: Validation failed for 'Int' with value undef at constructor MusicBrainz::Server::Entity::Track::new (defined at lib/MusicBrainz/Server/Entity/Track.pm line 62) line 101

and so on, hence I can't «enter edit»

Is there anything I can do ?

Please

hrm.

Arthur_Rainbow: that sounds like an error

can you repeat it?

I'm having trouble viewing a page on the Wayback Machine. What encoding should I use? https://web.archive.org/web/20080301091010/http...

HibiscusKazeneko: Shift_JIS worked for me

Not for me, it didn't.

dunno then, it looks fine to me

It just shows up as gibberish symbols for me.

I could probably take a screenshot of the webpage and imgur it or something

it's like 90% fine: http://i.imgur.com/NRvHApq.png

would be nice if there was some way to manage a number of edits as a group

I edited an album earlier and ended up with 26 open edits from it

and the edit note is on every single one

it is kinda messy

wonder of foreign keys work on postgres json

derwin: The "as_auto_editor" was the tick box previously used for AEs to not use their "powers" on a given (set of) edit(s). However, with yesterday's release, that tick box's been replaced, so userscripts refering this need to be updated.

heh, this has to be the first time that somebody's adding the same album as I am at the same time

^ these two last tracks should be renamed I believe but how?

and can we get some more opinions on this: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/29914808?

artists without relations are deleted after "a few days", how long is a few days?

I think it's a weekly cron or similar

might be harder to tell if you aren't familliar with japanese scripts. but if you look closely to many times does the same kanji repeat (plus there aren't nearly enough kana - japanese doesn't have that much kanji blocked together)

ariscop: Cleanup runs daily, each run only considers entities that haven’t been touched for at least 24 hours.

ah

So, at least 24 hours, at most 48 (or so).

and i assume open edits will also hold artists open?

Yes.

excellent, thanks

being able to save and resume an edit would be nice

derwin: I tried to repaet it (wich implie rewritting every thing again) and this time it worked

Arthur_Rainbow: If it happens again, please put the whole error message somewhere online (including the stack trace, request parameters etc.). Without these details, it’s almost impossible to track down a bug.

ariscop: There are hundreds of nice-to-have feature requests on JIRA. :-)

chirlu`: you mean somtething as http://milchior.fr/mb.txt

?

Yes, that’s part of it (the stack trace). The full ISE message includes even more data.

ISE ?

That all I have on my side

Even just providing a URL or two is helpful!

Edit note

Oh right, in the release editor you won’t get everything unfortunately.

Anything more, or could I close this tab ?

If you have a browser (or browser extension) that lets you view request data, you could open that and re-submit so that it picks up the request.

E.g. Firefox has a Network Analysis tab in its developer tools.

chromium

Nope, I re submited, and it sent me to the Add Release page, so it seems I can't help

sorry
