        I guess reject if if not clear majority is sane, but +4 seems a bit excessive
      • 2012-06-21 17300, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Where are you seeing it? :)
      • 2012-06-21 17305, 2012

      • Freso joined the channel

      • Freso
        Can I get you to drop a y-bomb on http://musicbrainz.org/edit/18057922 so that I can add the third disc in an hour?
      • 2012-06-21 17302, 2012

      • Wizzcat
        I'm just reading http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Data_Quality, no idea if the code reflects the docs
      • 2012-06-21 17317, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Oh
      • 2012-06-21 17339, 2012

      • Wizzcat
        I would guess http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Edit_Types is the actual conditions used in the code though, otherwise what's the point
      • 2012-06-21 17314, 2012

      • reosarevok is trying to find the code
      • 2012-06-21 17325, 2012

      • reosarevok
        But finding anything in our code is HARD
      • 2012-06-21 17338, 2012

      • Freso
        reosarevok: "git grep" :D
      • 2012-06-21 17302, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Freso: I know... but I was hoping to avoid connecting to the sandbox :D
      • 2012-06-21 17312, 2012

      • Freso
        reosarevok: "git clone" :D
      • 2012-06-21 17341, 2012

      • reosarevok connects to the sandbox
      • 2012-06-21 17342, 2012

      • Freso is feeling very helpful :p
      • 2012-06-21 17303, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Of course, it's also hard to know what exactly I'm looking for
      • 2012-06-21 17307, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        what, you don't have a local clone of the mbs just sitting around?
      • 2012-06-21 17309, 2012

      • reosarevok
        But I guess I can try "quality"
      • 2012-06-21 17320, 2012

      • reosarevok
        kepstin-work: not in this laptop
      • 2012-06-21 17322, 2012

      • Freso
        One more vote on http://musicbrainz.org/edit/18057922 and I'm good to go after the bot's next inspection.
      • 2012-06-21 17301, 2012

      • Freso
        ("This is Ibiza" releases in general needs to get cleaned up a bit...)
      • 2012-06-21 17342, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Cue comment on Ibiza being a traditional hippie paradise
      • 2012-06-21 17322, 2012

      • Wizzcat
        trance comps are pretty far down on my list of things that need fixing :P
      • 2012-06-21 17332, 2012

      • Freso
        Wizzcat: Well, their not exactly my top priority either - but I just stumbled across them, as a reggae compilation CD's freedb lookup returned one of these ibiza ones as "(disc 2)", so I went to see if I could merge it together to a proper NGS release.
      • 2012-06-21 17344, 2012

      • Freso
        I couldn't, but I found this other release that I could. :p
      • 2012-06-21 17313, 2012

      • reosarevok
        So, nikki found the code
      • 2012-06-21 17320, 2012

      • Freso
        kepstin-work: http://musicbrainz.org/edit/18057922 - vote? :D
      • 2012-06-21 17325, 2012

      • reosarevok
        It does pass on expiration with one yes vote
      • 2012-06-21 17334, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        reosarevok: is that also true of the edit to convert something at high data quality to normal?
      • 2012-06-21 17340, 2012

      • kepstin-work would assume so.
      • 2012-06-21 17347, 2012

      • reosarevok
        It does seem like it
      • 2012-06-21 17357, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I linked to the code on style anyway
      • 2012-06-21 17317, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        right, so I like the "rename it to protected and reduce the immediate apply threshold to 3 votes" then :)
      • 2012-06-21 17345, 2012

      • Wizzcat
        Freso: I was just kidding, lord knows I've edited my fair share of weird music
      • 2012-06-21 17317, 2012

      • Freso
        Wizzcat: :)
      • 2012-06-21 17325, 2012

      • Freso
        So have I... So have I.
      • 2012-06-21 17316, 2012

      • Wizzcat
        trance is extra evil though since there are so many dumb DJs who don't have existing artists in the db, not to mention mashups
      • 2012-06-21 17322, 2012

      • mr_maxis has left the channel
      • 2012-06-21 17340, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Wizzcat: poor trance DJs. They're not (always) dumb. Just not very original
      • 2012-06-21 17353, 2012

      • Wizzcat
        really? high quality edits pass with only one vote? that was less harsh than I expected
      • 2012-06-21 17318, 2012

      • Freso
        kepstin-work, Wizzcat, reosarevok - thanks! :D
      • 2012-06-21 17334, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        Wizzcat: I think the point is just to make sure that they've been reviewed by *somebody*
      • 2012-06-21 17350, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        that 5-votes required to instant-apply thing is just stupid.
      • 2012-06-21 17349, 2012

      • Wizzcat
        reading that code high quality only comes into apply when edits expire without votes
      • 2012-06-21 17350, 2012

      • Wizzcat

      • reosarevok
        I guess the edits to change quality should also become normal 14-day, 3-vote ones
      • 2012-06-21 17358, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (dunno if "change to protected" and "change to unprotected" should need at least 1 vote to pass too)
      • 2012-06-21 17304, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        hey"
      • 2012-06-21 17315, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        I've been trying to find info that comproves this RG

      • 2012-06-21 17320, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        but no success
      • 2012-06-21 17325, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        any opinions?
      • 2012-06-21 17310, 2012

      • reosarevok
        "Uh, is that country, quick, run away"? :p
      • 2012-06-21 17357, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        didn't get it
      • 2012-06-21 17307, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        if you're asking yes it is country
      • 2012-06-21 17319, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Nah, just that I like you more when you edit rap :p
      • 2012-06-21 17343, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I have never heard of this stuff... I see drsaunde has done a couple small edits on it - you don't happen to have any info on this, right?
      • 2012-06-21 17345, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        oh thanks ;)
      • 2012-06-21 17353, 2012

      • 2012-06-21 17319, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        can I remove it?
      • 2012-06-21 17322, 2012

      • reosarevok
        And the original editor signed up, added this, and disappeared
      • 2012-06-21 17301, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Dunno about removing it, but I'd say at least change to low quality
      • 2012-06-21 17319, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        well, entered the edit, http://musicbrainz.org/edit/18058141
      • 2012-06-21 17333, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        this seems that the editor was adding a compilation but only added the first track
      • 2012-06-21 17352, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        but even though I can't find it so well, ...
      • 2012-06-21 17309, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        and don't worry, will be editing hip hop in a few seconds ;)
      • 2012-06-21 17355, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Good :p
      • 2012-06-21 17358, 2012

      • reosarevok is happy to see more people editing US hip hop
      • 2012-06-21 17315, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (which is far from my stronger area)
      • 2012-06-21 17319, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        I have been editing as I go. meaning when I add a new release I try to correct the things on the related artists. but sometimes I don't verify. is there anyway to verify what is there to be done?
      • 2012-06-21 17344, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        like, featuring on the track name that should go to the artist credits and things like this
      • 2012-06-21 17344, 2012

      • reosarevok
        What do you mean?
      • 2012-06-21 17346, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Oh
      • 2012-06-21 17353, 2012

      • reosarevok
      • 2012-06-21 17344, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        exactly
      • 2012-06-21 17348, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        thanks :=
      • 2012-06-21 17349, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        :)

      • reosarevok
        :)
      • 2012-06-21 17315, 2012

      • reosarevok
        That's why I don't use them, yes :p
      • 2012-06-21 17319, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        keep in mind that since the reports are automatically generated, each entry in them has to be individually and manually reviewed.
      • 2012-06-21 17327, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        yes that's what I was thinking
      • 2012-06-21 17342, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        e.g. there's a fair number of groups that have '&' in the name and aren't collaborations.
      • 2012-06-21 17355, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        yes, naturally
      • 2012-06-21 17359, 2012

      • reosarevok
        For the feat. one, though, 99% need changes
      • 2012-06-21 17305, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        yes
      • 2012-06-21 17311, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        so so many
      • 2012-06-21 17313, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        :/
      • 2012-06-21 17314, 2012

      • reosarevok
        either moving to the artist credits or, if they're classical releases, moving to the new classical style
      • 2012-06-21 17347, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        I never edited classical so I guess that if I have to I will have to study first :)
      • 2012-06-21 17347, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Well, the point is that the feat. in titles thing was the "correct" option (or well, the least bad we had) for years
      • 2012-06-21 17356, 2012

      • reosarevok
        So there's loads of stuff to move
      • 2012-06-21 17308, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        yes I assumed that
      • 2012-06-21 17332, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        I will continue on correcting as I go
      • 2012-06-21 17332, 2012

      • reosarevok
        And you can ignore classical, really. You have more than enough fixes for a lifetime without having to touch it
      • 2012-06-21 17343, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (if only I listened to my own advice sometimes...)
      • 2012-06-21 17356, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        and if I have extra time I will try to contribute using this reports.
      • 2012-06-21 17306, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        http://musicbrainz.org/report/NoScript is ridiculously small nowadays, with our automatic script-setting bots :)
      • 2012-06-21 17316, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        ahaha
      • 2012-06-21 17339, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        oh that's right
      • 2012-06-21 17350, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        2 pages
      • 2012-06-21 17308, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        it is impossible to have a list of artists that don't have their discographies completed right?
      • 2012-06-21 17318, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        (wikipedian, yes ;)
      • 2012-06-21 17312, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Pretty hard
      • 2012-06-21 17356, 2012

      • reosarevok
        But in US hip hop at least, my bet is "most"
      • 2012-06-21 17319, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        if we could figure that out automatically, we'd probably be able to add the missing stuff automatically, as well :)
      • 2012-06-21 17337, 2012

      • reosarevok
        kepstin-work: not necessarily
      • 2012-06-21 17323, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I mean, we can compare what we have for an artist to what discogs has, or even (slightly more complicated) to the discography in the wikipedia page
      • 2012-06-21 17349, 2012

      • reosarevok
        But discogs imports almost always need some human corrections, and wikipedia often lists only titles
      • 2012-06-21 17309, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        but that doesn't work in general; you'd need to have a discogs or wikipedia link, then assume that the discogs/wikipedia links are complete
      • 2012-06-21 17337, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Ok, call it "artists for which we seem to miss stuff" :p
      • 2012-06-21 17309, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Adding more stuff is useful even if that doesn't complete it, after all
      • 2012-06-21 17313, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        don't know if the goal of MB is to "clomplete" artists but if it is maybe it's necessary to verify each one but that's soooo complicated
      • 2012-06-21 17328, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        complete
      • 2012-06-21 17339, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Yeah, "complete" is a very subjective and complicated thing
      • 2012-06-21 17348, 2012

      • reosarevok
        "Add all you can find" is easier
      • 2012-06-21 17304, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        yes
      • 2012-06-21 17305, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I mean, the goal is to have EVERYTHING by EVERYONE
      • 2012-06-21 17312, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        ok ;)
      • 2012-06-21 17325, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        well will continue on editing
      • 2012-06-21 17328, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        thanks ;)
      • 2012-06-21 17338, 2012

      • reosarevok
        But that's a platonic goal more than a realistic one, so "more and better" is more like it :)
      • 2012-06-21 17342, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Cool!
      • 2012-06-21 17323, 2012

      • 2012-06-21 17310, 2012

      • tri_marianaaf
        it seems that there are two releases
      • 2012-06-21 17320, 2012

        so, I was temporarily distracted and didn't realize the track parser had not, in fact, detected the track lengths and included them as part of the track titles instead.

        all sorted now, but can I canvas for a few well-placed votes on the edits?

        reosarevok yes, noticed that you tried to convince the editor to comment the edits with no success.

        tri_marianaaf: add a new release for one of them (preferably the digital)

        That one mostly, but if people feel like it, there are the recordings corrections too, at http://musicbrainz.org/release/1454900f-8b9c-44fa…

      • tri_marianaaf
        it seems that both of them are digital

        I'd argue for a 'grace period' even, where editors get to correct mistakes like these within a 15 minute window, say, without needing votes.

        tri_marianaaf: yeah, might be :/

        MJ: you're not the first. Problem, it seems, is that it's easier to propose than code :)
      • 2012-06-21 17304, 2012

      • MJ
        Yeah, I am aware of it.

        a bandacamp release is worldwide right?
