      • SultS
        looking at their discogs page
      • 2012-06-11 16301, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        in this case, I'd suggest removing the discogs link so you can split the artist.
      • 2012-06-11 16322, 2012

      • DWSR
        kepstin-work: Bah, now I have to wait for the edits to get applied.
      • 2012-06-11 16350, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        if you ask really nice, you could get some people here to vote on it so it passes quicker :)
      • 2012-06-11 16309, 2012

      • DWSR
        I was about to say.
      • 2012-06-11 16352, 2012

      • DWSR
        Anyone want to vote on my last 4 edits so I can get this change done? http://musicbrainz.org/user/b.m.andrews/edits/open
      • 2012-06-11 16317, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        you don't need to remove the 'collaborated on' ars
      • 2012-06-11 16325, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        the split will handle those automatically
      • 2012-06-11 16328, 2012

      • DWSR
        kepstin-work: Ah, I just did it in case.
      • 2012-06-11 16336, 2012

      • DWSR
        I'll cancel those then.
      • 2012-06-11 16338, 2012

      • DWSR
        Anyone else? Just need 1 more vote apiece.
      • 2012-06-11 16311, 2012

      • SultS
        changing release quality to normal on http://musicbrainz.org/edit/17950031 , berhaps I can get some votes? definetly does not have any release level credits, some of which could be added now some later… and the remaining data is somewhat incorrect as well
      • 2012-06-11 16355, 2012

      • DWSR
        SultS: I'll vote swap you. :P
      • 2012-06-11 16358, 2012

      • kepstin-work notes that the release quality setting doesn't even protect recordings, anyways.
      • 2012-06-11 16316, 2012

      • SultS
        DWSR: I already voted on yours :P
      • 2012-06-11 16324, 2012

      • DWSR
        I know, I voted on yours as well.
      • 2012-06-11 16330, 2012

      • DWSR
        I'm just shamelessly plugging at the moment.
      • 2012-06-11 16306, 2012

      • SultS
        thanks :) I guess I should check how many do I need for it to pass (at some point)
      • 2012-06-11 16349, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        SultS: it says right on the edit page.
      • 2012-06-11 16357, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        "5 unanimous votes"
      • 2012-06-11 16312, 2012

      • SultS
        to pass right away
      • 2012-06-11 16314, 2012

      • SultS
        I assume
      • 2012-06-11 16326, 2012

      • SultS
        but in 14 days maybe less
      • 2012-06-11 16350, 2012

      • DWSR
        no
      • 2012-06-11 16353, 2012

      • SultS
        +4 seems to be the number
      • 2012-06-11 16358, 2012

      • DWSR
        It needs 5 unanimous votes.
      • 2012-06-11 16302, 2012

      • DWSR
        Otherwise it rejects.
      • 2012-06-11 16329, 2012

      • DWSR
        Suggestions for how to handle http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/this-is-dubstep-… #36 and #37?
      • 2012-06-11 16339, 2012

      • DWSR
        I'm using the compilation special purpose VA at the moment.
      • 2012-06-11 16359, 2012

      • SultS
        GetDarker is an artist?

      • SultS
      • 2012-06-11 16304, 2012

      • DWSR
        Cool, that's what I was looking for.
      • 2012-06-11 16305, 2012

      • DWSR
        Thanks.
      • 2012-06-11 16328, 2012

      • DWSR
        Edits get applied at ~xx:05, right?
      • 2012-06-11 16301, 2012

        DWSR: modbot runs every hour on the hour, and takes a while to run.
      • 2012-06-11 16327, 2012

      • DWSR
        Yeah, figured.
      • 2012-06-11 16355, 2012

      • DWSR
        Is there any way to save a partial release?
      • 2012-06-11 16300, 2012

      • DWSR
        In like a user sandbox or something?
      • 2012-06-11 16304, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        nope.
      • 2012-06-11 16356, 2012

      • reosarevok
        huh
      • 2012-06-11 16310, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Where did people get the idea it needs 5 (or 4) unanimous?
      • 2012-06-11 16331, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        reosarevok: it says so on the official guidelines talking about data quality.
      • 2012-06-11 16343, 2012

      • reosarevok
        For passing unanimously, yeah
      • 2012-06-11 16354, 2012

      • reosarevok
        But for passing on expiration, it just needs to have votes
      • 2012-06-11 16330, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        It'll pass on one yes vote on expiration?
      • 2012-06-11 16340, 2012

      • DWSR
        No.
      • 2012-06-11 16346, 2012

      • DWSR
        It'll pass on 5 yes.
      • 2012-06-11 16355, 2012

      • DWSR
        But it doesn't need to be unianimous.
      • 2012-06-11 16359, 2012

      • DWSR
        It can be 5 yes and 4 no.
      • 2012-06-11 16307, 2012

      • DWSR
        (I think is what you're trying to say)

        reosarevok: http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Data_Quality does not make it clear to me at least
      • 2012-06-11 16339, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        reosarevok: perhaps the guideline pages should be updated to actually have this information on it.
      • 2012-06-11 16357, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        once we figure out *what* information is correct :)
      • 2012-06-11 16321, 2012

      • SultS
        “LowerDataQualityEdit Is hard to pass. It takes more unanimous votes than other edits in the old DQ (~ 1.5 to 2 times more).”
      • 2012-06-11 16337, 2012

      • SultS
        I can’t see info about pass on expiration
      • 2012-06-11 16342, 2012

      • reosarevok
        How can that page suck so terribly?
      • 2012-06-11 16328, 2012

      • DWSR
        reosarevok: Do you really have to ask?
      • 2012-06-11 16340, 2012

      • reosarevok
        "User lowers DQ legitimately. We suppose they enter legitimate edits right afterwards (or even just before)."
      • 2012-06-11 16342, 2012

      • SultS
        dunno, but it mentions reject on expiration twice without any additional info
      • 2012-06-11 16352, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Who the hell supposed that?
      • 2012-06-11 16305, 2012

      • reosarevok
        If I had all that information, I wouldn't need to lower the quality :p
      • 2012-06-11 16320, 2012

      • SultS
        oh, and thanks for all the voters :) I have 5 :)
      • 2012-06-11 16348, 2012

      • DWSR
        I'm all for downvoting quality.
      • 2012-06-11 16358, 2012

      • DWSR
        1) Because the system sucks and 2) because it's misleading anyway.
      • 2012-06-11 16353, 2012

      • hawke_1
        Can we just delete the current data quality system?
      • 2012-06-11 16306, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        hawke_1: that was my hope :)
      • 2012-06-11 16308, 2012

      • DWSR
        Seems to be a pretty common sentiment around here.
      • 2012-06-11 16326, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        maybe we can get the deletion of the current data quality system into the next schema change :)
      • 2012-06-11 16327, 2012

      • SultS
        I would have no objections :)
      • 2012-06-11 16340, 2012

      • DWSR
        I think this is an instance where no system at all is better than the current system.
      • 2012-06-11 16342, 2012

      • hawke_1
        A one-way data quality system might be interesting
      • 2012-06-11 16358, 2012

      • hawke_1
        but I doubt anyone has much interest in a new locking-style DQ system in general
      • 2012-06-11 16302, 2012

      • DWSR
        You could make the edits very long expiries.
      • 2012-06-11 16303, 2012

      • SultS
        but I’m off for now

      • 2012-06-11 16316, 2012

      • kepstin-work wonders what the process to delete the data quality system would be
      • 2012-06-11 16321, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        does it need an RFC?
      • 2012-06-11 16330, 2012

      • DWSR
        And make the required votes be like 10 unanimous or something
      • 2012-06-11 16356, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        It would obviously need a server ticket; would that be added after the rfc or immediately?
      • 2012-06-11 16316, 2012

      • hawke_1
        I think asking someone would be a good idea
      • 2012-06-11 16323, 2012

      • hawke_1
        whether that be an official RFC or not

      • 2012-06-11 16326, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        well, it has one almost-legitimate use right now: locking releases to make capitalization changes not autoedits.
