winner*

ah it's performed by a differnt person

95 hvar det

ka fanken, det finnes en englesk version >_<

and as always the english wikipedia blurb and not any more RELEVANT language

?

"Skepsisen var til stede også i forkant av den internasjonale finalen i Dublin 13. mai 1995, blant annet mente svenskene at «Nocturne» ikke var noen sang. Den fikk heller ingen poeng fra den svenske juryen, men vant likevel konkurransen med 148 poeng."

"scepticalism was there during the beginnning of the international contest also, among other things, the swedes meant it was "no song". it got no votes from them either. but still won with 148 points"

HAH

SothoTalKer: it's a general annoyance of mine that the english wikipedia trumps every other language wikipedia, even if : 1. the other wikipedias have better, long article. 2. the actual artist/song/whathave you is of a diff nationality and especially 3. if the en wiki is literally two sentences and the f.ex nowiki or dewiki are several paragraps or even starred article

ah you mean for wikidata links?

also if there *is* no english wikipedia artice the run down is ridiculous, for eample it will pick german before jugoslavian (i belive) which might be alphabetical (de before j) but it will. graviously puck svedish wiki before norwegina, which makes NO sense if it's a norwegian artist!

SothoTalKer: yes, but alos, if i f.ex link a norwwgian wikipage, it will *still* show the nglish wikiblurb

and that's just.. insulting

my hope is that chhaviredesign will fix these things

imho the blurb's language should be set by editors, but then can be owerwritten by useroptions. ie "show me the set wikipedia blurb / always show the language ____"

what do you think of that idea?

oh and also, to remain peace with the engloish spaikers. make sure that "only set to a diff language than eng if the eng wikipedia is inferior to the other language AND that the other language makes sense (ie not indonesian article for eg mozart)

is a guideline

KassOtsimine: and how do you know when the english WP is inferior? :)

it situiations where it is obvious

dunno, people should set their 3 preferred wiki languages in the options and we should list all available entries on the respective page somewhere.

oohh nice! that's not a bad idea

KassOtsimine: that requires a little bit deeper integration with wikidata itself, but i think it is doable :)

we could also add to cover more data from wikidata directly (:

yes. i'd deff like to have things like other databases linked to wikidata auto-populated once a wikidata item was linked to an mb one

and then also changed ifthey were changed at wikidata (but utilising an edit in our system and not done automatically)

always good with a aper trail

paper*

hello any people out there ,especially gci students and such, any one can read Bangla?

i want to find out if https://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8... is about the Bass violin explisitly or about things like bass(contrabass/double bass)

hmm ahh. the image onfused me, it seemd much too large to g\be the cello predecessor. but the person in the image is a child :D

also perspective

hmm! til: cello (violoncello)s are way bigger than i though

KassOtsimine: about a 1 meter long body. you've never seen cellos before?

actually, no

:(

it's very good to learn these things

if i'm to be a proer instrument inserter imust endeavour to know as much as possible

I grew up playing viola in school, so I just can't fathom *not* knowing what western strings are like.

heh

I kinda went to a "special" school and my education has been.. messe dup. i'd have loved to leanr more aobut instruments

on the other hand, eastern strings and traditional "quarter-tone" still confuse me a lot. Perspective

also, not english. it took much to long until i learned "viola" = "bratsj"

that's very similar to the german word for viola, "brastche" I believe

indeed

Bratsche*

SothoTalKer: thanks.

:-)

SothoTalKer: hello, can you say waht "violinfamily" should be in german?

need for alias in german

Violinenfamilie

danke!

and dutch, or finns around? same question please

also any french peoples

also: swedish, any indian alnguage please

why does 'three-second rule' edits not automatically apply to recordings?

is it intentional?

https://musicbrainz.org/release/7040d317-4f96-4... i had the wrong title here but fixed it quickly so it was automatically applied to everything, except the recording

who wants to make a ticket for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octobass :D

I'm a bit disappointed that it does not have 8 strings

:D

cheers hibiscuskazeneko

cheers HSOWA

?

oh "cheers" is a (probably wholly commonwealth) way of saying "thanks"

🥂

Usually in the States it involves alcohol

It's not commonly used that way in the US, though I find that most people don't bat an eye at it. (I've picked up the habit.)
