        then I think there is some point of agreement... so long as there's not then edit wars adding and removing the spaces on only personal preference... :)

      • jesus2099
        reosarevok: The lack of official rules and mixed useage I was looking for convincing points and found A. school books (space) B. official propaganda in big letters over each street walls (space) C. why not historical reasons (space) it’s just that.
      • 2012-01-12 01209, 2012

      • jesus2099
        I’m not saying historical reasons is the most important stuff at all

      • BrianFreud
        jesus2099, aren't those about the most "official" sources you could find, lacking an actual official office of the language?
      • 2012-01-12 01232, 2012

      • jesus2099
        BrianFreud: It’s what I believed, yes
      • 2012-01-12 01245, 2012

      • jesus2099
        as much official as it could be
      • 2012-01-12 01212, 2012

      • BrianFreud
        but you keep saying we should ignore Foolip's sources
      • 2012-01-12 01233, 2012

      • hawke_
        I’d say we should follow language as it actually is, and not as some authority claims it should be.
      • 2012-01-12 01250, 2012

      • jesus2099
        BrianFreud: not ignore, I say them less significance
      • 2012-01-12 01205, 2012

      • jesus2099
        hawke_: how it is ? IT IS MIXED
      • 2012-01-12 01216, 2012

      • BrianFreud finds it kind of amusing that the most debated point in any caps standard ever is over whether to include not even a space, but half a space :P
      • 2012-01-12 01222, 2012

      • jesus2099
        in this mix, I extracted the most official stuff and it says spaces
      • 2012-01-12 01256, 2012

      • jesus2099
        BrianFreud: when it’s a space before pucnt. it is to be narrow. but technical difficulties prevented this in many areas, just like the accentuated capitals
      • 2012-01-12 01212, 2012

      • jesus2099
        but it looks more natural with the narrow (for natives)
      • 2012-01-12 01219, 2012

      • jesus2099
        (for people used to read books)
      • 2012-01-12 01234, 2012

      • jesus2099
        (this is french I’m talking about for instance here)
      • 2012-01-12 01202, 2012

      • jesus2099 should write to vietnam’s minister of culture and ask her/him to release an official document on language typography :)
      • 2012-01-12 01207, 2012

      • BrianFreud
        :D

      • jesus2099
        just for those guys on MB
      • 2012-01-12 01221, 2012

      • jesus2099
        for those handful of titles
      • 2012-01-12 01252, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Hey, wouldn't it be funny :p
      • 2012-01-12 01203, 2012

      • reosarevok
        You could ask him to send us some money too while he's at it then :p
      • 2012-01-12 01211, 2012

      • jesus2099
        BrianFreud: IIRC (which doesn’t mean In IRC as I first thought), I used narrow in my first edit note in vietnamese ;)
      • 2012-01-12 01244, 2012

      • nikki
        you could make an alternate proposal that just drops the standardisation. it seems there are more people in favour of that
      • 2012-01-12 01254, 2012

      • jesus2099
        nikki: I just DROP IT (remove the chapter from my RFC-WIKI) and update the thread by saying « hey, something’s changed »  ?
      • 2012-01-12 01238, 2012

      • jesus2099
        this will be some major, improvement as far as i’m concerned.
      • 2012-01-12 01252, 2012

      • jesus2099
        the →,← was wrong place
      • 2012-01-12 01218, 2012

      • jesus2099
        nikki: but I haven’t seen people not in favour with current RFC btw :p
      • 2012-01-12 01227, 2012

      • jesus2099
        neither -1 nor +1 ;p
      • 2012-01-12 01239, 2012

      • jesus2099
        but I will propose the drop as it’s better than nothing
      • 2012-01-12 01245, 2012

      • nikki
        I would probably include some mention of it that says both are allowed and that we prefer what's on the cover, but basically yes
      • 2012-01-12 01226, 2012

        BrianFreud: It takes ten people an hour to dig a hole. How long does it take 20 people to dig half a hole?
      • 2012-01-12 01235, 2012

      • jesus2099
        nikki: I’ll try to write that but my english is poors and I probably won’t find such example to copy/paste from other lang. guidelines :)
      • 2012-01-12 01245, 2012

      • jesus2099
        but I’ll try because it sounds cool

      • nikki
        jesus2099: "including spaces before punctuation (as in french) and not including spaces before punctuation (as in english) are both acceptable. the version used on the cover is preferred"?
      • 2012-01-12 01218, 2012

      • hawke_
        BrianFreud: Well, the joke is that there is no such thing as half a hole… It was just the first thing I thought of when you mentioned half a space.
      • 2012-01-12 01230, 2012

        lol

        but how nicely said, anyway !

        And that's bad! :D
      • 2012-01-12 01259, 2012

      • nikki
        as you'll notice, I didn't capitalise the start of the sentence either
      • 2012-01-12 01204, 2012

        "Often" meaning "extremely likely"? Or "often" meaning "common enough to be worth mentioning"?

        thes most common case (with DiscID)
      • 2012-01-12 01259, 2012

      • hawke_
        That happens by default for new recordings
      • 2012-01-12 01259, 2012

        (with the checkbox)
      • 2012-01-12 01203, 2012

      • reosarevok

      • 2012-01-12 01210, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (the other checkbox I mean)
      • 2012-01-12 01218, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (the "transmit changes to recordings")

      • jesus2099_
        AH ! « Also update the recording with track changes » checkbox copies both the title AND the duration ?
      • 2012-01-12 01233, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Although I guess that's only if you *change* them, huh
      • 2012-01-12 01251, 2012

      • reosarevok
        jesus2099_: if you change them, yes
      • 2012-01-12 01256, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Only, there's a bug now
      • 2012-01-12 01259, 2012

      • hawke_
        I still think that’s a terrible idea
      • 2012-01-12 01207, 2012

      • reosarevok
        so if you change only the duration, it doesn't copy it
      • 2012-01-12 01213, 2012

      • jesus2099_
        Maybe the APPLY TOC stuff should be appliable on recs altogether with tracks (currently only tracks)
      • 2012-01-12 01218, 2012

      • hawke_
        probably fine *if* the recording is only on one release
      • 2012-01-12 01218, 2012

      • jesus2099_
        with a similar checkbox ?

      • reosarevok
        hawke_: why?
      • 2012-01-12 01247, 2012

      • jesus2099_
        hawke_: it’s handy if it was previoulsy added from a shitty release and you are now adding a cooler release
      • 2012-01-12 01204, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Most users who might do the wrong thing by mistake won't even care about recordings anyway
      • 2012-01-12 01209, 2012

      • jesus2099_
        shitty release = no TOC, va compilation, etc.
      • 2012-01-12 01224, 2012

      • hawke_
        reosarevok: yeah, but it also means that if you’re adding a shitty release you’re going to screw up the recording titles of a bunch of tracks
      • 2012-01-12 01246, 2012

      • hawke_
        And the RE doesn’t give enough information to properly show you the impact of those changes
      • 2012-01-12 01258, 2012

      • reosarevok
        hawke_, someone who adds a shitty release won't select the right recordings :p

        …but that just makes it worse
      • 2012-01-12 01221, 2012

      • 2012-01-12 01228, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Because they're unchecked by default
      • 2012-01-12 01239, 2012

        jesus2099_: It’s a checkbox in the recordings page of the release editor now…

        I’d much rather that recording titles and durations were auto-calculated from the tracks, all the time

      • jesus2099_
        indeed

      • hawke_
        It’d be one less thing to worry about

        reosarevok: Overrideable, but yes.

      • hawke_
        reosarevok: just use the most common track title
      • 2012-01-12 01233, 2012

      • jesus2099_
        or we could display half-transparant layers with all track titles on supperposed so we could blurry see the most common title appear :)

        Or we could just average the unicode indexes at each character position :p

      • jesus2099_
        this transparant thing would be a fancy userjs
      • 2012-01-12 01249, 2012

      • hawke_
        kovacsur: it would certainly be amusing to see how they turned out

        Anyone want to comment on this proposed update to CSG: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/User:Hawke/Proposal/C… ?

        It would be cool if we would put <ins></ins> for added stuff  and <del></del> in wiki rfc stuff ?

        It pretty much just updates it to cover NGS without trying to change too much

        BrianFreud: I didn’t get really how or what using this users for exactly… (._.?)
