There's something

Haven't used it in forever, but it should work?

some scripts

that should basically be all of them

i tried the amazon one and it didn't work. dunno if it's my system or not.

tried to import https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QNYZ6N8/

what is there to import? I don't see a tracklist.

oh, i didn't even look. i pulled it out of itunes.

you linked the CD release to the itunes one? (:

actually no... i linked it back to Amazon since iTunes is digital. I just changed the medium to CD.

is there a policy on cover art resolution vs quality tradeoffs?

since its an archive, you can upload the best one you find

https://beta.musicbrainz.org/release-group/da64... has cover art at 3000x3000 or so, but it's visibly a scan + slightly blurry for some reason

https://www.levykauppax.fi/artist/shiraz_lane/c... meanwhile has a 1000x1000 version that does not appear to be a scan

musicbrainz apparently doesn't like ralph stanley

revi: around?

Yaniel: scan > not-a-scan, other than that it’s mostly subjective. A release can have multiple scans attached though, so if two separate people both scan their own copy of a release, I’d say it’s fine for two sets of scans to coexist in CAA.

to scan or not to scan

Hm... That's why I didn't upload my scans one time: someone did it a few hours earlier(!)

adendum to what freso said though_ if it's a diital release then we'd want the digital (ie not a (cd) scan) version of the artiwork :)

and but also, I don't think that " A release can have multiple scans attached though, so if two separate people both scan their own copy of a release, I’d say it’s fine for two sets of scans to coexist in CAA." isn't in the guidelines I don't think. but I like it! so i think it sohuld be added

I actually have done this on a few releases where it's difficult to gauge stuff

one was this where the "artwork" was actually stickers *on* the jewelcase

very difficult to scna :D

iconoclasthero: why? is there a bug on the ralph stanley entry or something?

this is more of a scan vs digital version of the cover art for the physical cd question though

thne i'd say scna al lthe way, and only the digital version sohuld have the digital uh version

of artwork

OTOH when bands put their physical discography online w/ covers they generally aren't going to be using scans

(ideally even the same files that are printed on the booklets)

in which case I personally would always use the "digital" art (since it has no printing/scanning artifacts)

I wouldn’t.

why not have both

reosarevok: hi

catquest: no, just that i had to enter 100% of 4 RS CDs.

although to be fair, one of them was in the system not linked to a media

also, why is a comment and a make all edits votable a thing for just attaching a TOC? I mean who's gonna argue that and what is anyone going to put in there except "picard"?

seems if not redundant unncecessary.

seems—if not redundant—unnecesary. (punctuation is not unnecesary in that sentence)

eh, I like the irony of typing "disc at hand" in the comment field

I bet nobody would have guessed so otherwise

I’ve begun to note where I have physical disc from when adding physical releases, rather than just saying that I have it.

i doubt it will help too many people if I put in State of Delaware Library System.

lol

revi: it was about marking stuff for translation in Commons but it got resolved already, thanks :)

ah k

(I'm in the Wikimedia Estonia board and we're running the science photo competition atm)

revi: actually, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wik... still needs it I think :)

done

<3

reosarevok: if you have quick free time https://musicbrainz.org/edit/64909098 :-p

Done!

thx

revi: also, trying to translate that page, it gets stuck in "loading" everywhere, any idea what that can be about? :/

lemme try...

hmm... it loads to me on Safari (on iOs)

Hmm, ok, will try a different browser

no, same. It's not the page itself that doesn't load, but if I click on a specific line, the translation memory bit on the right won't load ("Loading...") - it also didn't save the translations somehow

ah that part

let me try that part

> Saving the translation failed: This namespace is reserved for content page translations. The page you are trying to edit does not seem to correspond to any page marked for translation.

hmmmmmmmmmm

(asking on #wikimedia-commons )

Thanks! In any case, no Lua error anymore is a good starting point :D

since nobody was around https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Help...

whoops, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Tran...

Freso: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCEewyIE_0c  seems relevant to your interests

revi++

Next time we really should look into this stuff before literally the first day of the competition :D

(I'm pretty sure I said the same in 2017 though...)

lol

true... :P

Quick event question: https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Room says the full event name is <<Red Velvet The 1st Concert "Red Room">> but I am not sure if I should that full name or the shortened one "Red Room" (artist https://musicbrainz.org/artist/4f0cb3b7-6c06-43... )

What would Koreans expect to see? I feel the full name isn't too crazy and could be used, but dunno :)

reosarevok: I just went with Korean Wikipedia and did the shorter one

reosarevok: I do frequently find myself thinking I should listen to more ska, yes.

zas: ^ got ska recommendations?

Spoilers! :D

Freso: Indian ska works? The Ska Vengers

wait. there is indian ska? dood cool.

hm

"The Ska Vengers is a New Delhi based band that blends Ska, Dub, Punk, Jazz and Rap"

that was pretty good actually https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeBflNNVVr0 

would someone please look at http://www.classic.meltingpotblog.com/2013/07/0... and https://musicbrainz.org/release/0dc77005-26b1-4... and https://musicbrainz.org/artist/a9432ef4-b661-43...

i don't know how to fix this and i'm tempted just to cancel the entry.

well, you could just fix the artist.

The question is: Are Poe identical to Playboys of Edinburg or not :p

https://img.discogs.com/M-ERzx956I4EST2EM-HIOPK... 

yeah, that is the question

should it be a new artist or should it be p'boys of edinburg?

for the former, "Poe (formerly known as The Playboys of Edinburg)" for the latter it is pretty clear.
