reosarevok, any chance of marketing an Alexa-alike that answers style questions?

Freso, CatQuest: found it. More or less. https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-3435

MBS-3435: Improve the 'vote on all edits' feature, and expose it to all users

a what

(it doesn't mention at all what the "improve" implies)

"Hey desk reo, how do I input the labels for this CD?"

I thought that was IRC

.. desk reo?

is he gruffy?

IRC is sort of like that, but then I have to take pictures and hope you're awake. :-P

reosarevok CatQuest: Seems like the edits are indeed open for a bit longer. :'(

yes

that thing is one of my less favourite changes

I feel if you can find 3 or atleast more voters, th tiem shoudl be shortened

doesn't matter if 12 people vote yes on it, it stays open for 48 hours no matter what

makes sense on osme edits, liek remove release

but things like remove relationships which can easily be readded.. ugh

reosarevok: Yeah, I think that ticket is a Won't Fix and should be for reporting editors instead. Should I just close it, or bring it up next meeting?

IMO just close

can't you guys force revertifications already? (qaccount admins)

CatQuest: Yes, kind of, but this ticket is for any auto-editor to do so.

hmm.. nah that's not necesarry and seems odd to me

since we have acount admins

so +1 just lcose from me too

Closed.

hey, has discogs opened up their db or are they just releasing partial dumps?

azertus: Discogs' DB dumps have been open for some time.

reosarevok: D: Label-Artist "founded" only works one way!!

yeah, I've been out-of-the loop for quite a bit

and it's all open now?

ohhh

Freso: well, ticket

heh

azertus: wasn't it always?

suggests*

(don't worry I won't suddenly become a discogs contributor) ;-)

Maybe not. AFAICT, it is fully open, except maybe the images?

also freso

I feel like I'm going crazy.. as far as I remember it used to all copyrighted, which was a huge reason not to contribute too much to it.

The db dumps are fully open, but site source, etc. is not.

So if Discogs disappears, it isn't possible to set up a ~1:1 "clone".

So the data is open, but Discogs as a whole is not.

got it.. I couldn't find the dumps linked on their site as well (without googling for them)

still better than nothing

I always felt a bit dirty for having added 8 releases there instead of here

ARG, wnhe I paste "Paris, France" in the area choser it should *understand* which paris I am talking about and not show me some village from arkansas

onestly,I think we should *remove* all these american villages with less than idk, 2000 people or what it is *unless* ofcourse there was something musical happening. in any case of that it cna be re-added

I'm like certain that 97% of stuff added to thme is missatribution also

can someone just give me the mb url for the right paris because I don't even

... why don't we show any info in https://musicbrainz.org/search?query=paris&... ?

holy shit

(it's the one with the FR- code anyway, so https://musicbrainz.org/area/dc10c22b-e510-4006... - but still)

the in-line search is better thna that, wtf

thank you reosarevok

Yeah, I think that's because by then ijabz couldn't be arsed already

It's because Paris is no longer Paris.

but that search is like. really bad.

Although I'm not sure how much we display in the WS either about areas, almost nothing useful IIRC

to be fix0ring!

Well, that's the old search server, so I doubt it'll get fixed

It'll hopefully be better in the new one, but

weeel

If not, maybe we should just load area_containment from the DB for display - bitmap? (or yvanzo I guess)

+1

atleast as stopgap. since the new search isn't go for a while

and this is kinda bad, I mean like, really kinda bad

(there is like no disambiguiations on areas?)

reosarevok: I would rather weight with the number of relationships.

And that would be awesome to have a relationship browser for areas and instruments at least.

I would be hella interested in a "visualisation" like thing for instrument relations like that thing Quesito linked

Freso: big band! <3

yvanzo: weighting sounds useful anyway, but it's still not very useful when you're looking at that search result from earlier and trying to figure out which is which of the non-France ones

I think my love for data is going to be my death

That's what I like to see. Young people planning for the future.

I found https://runalyze.com/ and the only way to create more data is to do sports :/

right, now I have moved all such credited from https://beta.musicbrainz.org/instrument/b4aab04... to https://beta.musicbrainz.org/instrument/26b4608... were appropriate \o/

slightly related, I'm taking recommendations for music mixes specifically for running

reosarevok: Oops, I considered inline search for Area fields in entity/relationship editor instead of your above link.

Leo_Verto: https://musicbrainz.org/release/dbc46b70-b527-4... ;)

ls
