uhm. it shouldn't be a goal to have 1000 or more no vote chaban.

Can't do anything about it. Maybe I should quit voting then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

honestly if that's your attitude maybe it would be best ¬¬

Cut me some slack. Over 8000 approvals last 28 days.
2020-05-29 15048, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox
yes and? it really is great that you're looking at a lot of edits - and approving, voting, checking, but approving a lot doesn't give you the "right" to vote no more. it shoudl be based on each individual edit itself.
2020-05-29 15028, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox
and before you start on me: i once emptied the editing que. voted on everything.
2020-05-29 15041, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox
(thought that was back whne that number was like 9000 but still.)

anyway this edit will fail. but if you look at it objectivly. it seems it's chaning the "." inot the actual name?
2020-05-29 15043, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox
so "technically" it was improving data
2020-05-29 15057, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox
imho "abstain" is good a vote here
2020-05-29 15008, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox
(especially since it will fail anyway)
2020-05-29 15016, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox
data has canged in the meantime

ZaphodBeeblebrox: chaban indeed voted Abstain at first.
2020-05-29 15050, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox
yes I noticed . wondering why the change ov vote :D

People complain when I vote too much No, people complain when I abstain... Maybe it's to the best I quit for real and let others deal with voting.
2020-05-29 15026, 2020
yvanzo
Because another edit fixed it in the meantime, I would have voted exactly the same.
2020-05-29 15027, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox will neve complain that peopel vote too much abstain
2020-05-29 15001, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox
my apologies chaban.

“No” votes should not be seen as a punishment, they should be seen objectively. :)

I've ranted about voting not too long ago. Someone asked me why I didn't prevent an edit...
2020-05-29 15021, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox
don't let others tell you not to vote abstain :)
2020-05-29 15034, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox
yvanzo: and yet thatis how they are de-facto persived :(
2020-05-29 15008, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox
(hench the blogpost rob wrote.. where is it. "edits that improve shouldnt be voted down" etc etc)
2020-05-29 15042, 2020
ZaphodBeeblebrox
chaban: you should ask them why *they* didn't instead ;) it's noons explisit "duty" to "prevent" or "approve" edits
2020-05-29 15027, 2020
yvanzo
ZaphodBeeblebrox: I agree, that should probably be better explained or documented.
2020-05-29 15036, 2020

it doesn't help that once someone votes no on your edits you get a mail like "someone has voted no on your edit #####!!" or the linke. even *I* 15 years and running autoeditor and oldbie, instrument inserter and all that. if i get one of those my initial reaction is "oh no!"

to a newbie it can feel like a terrible damning finger "you did wrong!!11"

I've been experimenting more the past couple days, trying to get responses or convince editors to cancel instead of voting No up front. It doesn't work good enough. I have to constantly check those edits and if they are not canceled change my vote.
^ Obviously incorrect. I'd prefer to vote No and "be done with it".

chaban: IMO it's fine to vote No in a case like this
2020-05-29 15015, 2020
reosarevok
I'd generally vote No and maybe suggest they can cancel it
2020-05-29 15020, 2020

(at the same time)

It does suck though if there's like 30 similar edits and you have to vote No on all though :/ Really not sure how to make it less bad tho

(other than making the email less scary)

YouTube channel ID or custom channel URL? I've seen these kind of changes go in the opposite direction as well: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/70080516 I know both are allowed but it seems problematic if editors change them to fit their preference or for marketing reasons. FTR, I don't usually change them, except once it seems: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/62224604 Shame on me :P
