yuppers

what's up ruaok

heya.

get my comment on the blog?

just read your blog post.

:-)

cool

+1

go to test.mb.org

I did

oh I was at staging

err.. no I was at test :)

based on the first round of feedback I've changed things around a bit.

low, unknown, high

Ya I was playing with metallica

don and I had discussed bad, unknown and good.

but that looked ugly and gave the wrong impression.

I don't like the idea of making an edit to change the quality though :(

well, its a data safety issue.

we don't want people setting an artist to low, making THEIR changes and then setting back to high.

I think quality is subjective and each person who stumbles across a release should be able to show their opinion

true...

you want a rating system, basically.

yes

that's VASTLY more complex/

popular artists who have a lot of subscribers will obviously get higher ratings...

not even in the same ballpark.

making things harder to mess up

yes, I know

what is implemented now *is* a big step in the right direction I think

I'm not convinced we need that.

I'd like to tinker with this approach first. if it fails we can regroup and reconsider a full rating system.

so, the question that I want to answer, (hopefully before I leave for 5 days) what the levels should be called.

and what should something be by default?>

I think the current system is ok, but no the best...

an advantage of giving +/- 1 is that it represents several opinions... if you see that Metallica's Master of Puppets has +223 you know pretty confidently that there's probably nothing to fix here

not

what about unverified / unkown / verified?

ruaok: ?

I've thought about this so much I think I've overthought it. I think.

:)

280 * 20 = 5600 EDITS!!!

how can we vote on all those?

lol :)

ruaok: can you please add a "approve" vote option? :(

we have that for automods....

a radio button like Yes/No/Abstain/No Vote

I think that could considerably cut down the queue size

I'd prove you wrong ;)

that will lead people to abuse it, which in that turn means you're actually right.

but lets just say that is not the goal of the excercise.

okay, but I think that we've entrusted the autoeditors with power... and we expect them not to abuse it

its all about checks and balances. adding an approve voting option is not balanced.

ruaok: could it read "Data quality" rather than "Quality"?

it kind of gives the impression that it's the quality of the artist since the addition is on the same line as other information about the artist

BrianG: yeah, that needs improvement.

in general its quite ugly right now.

and adding the word data will make it worse.

what about just moving the data quality stuff to the "Info:" line?

or where the change quality link is

some how combining the link and the status into one spot

sorry im just baked-storming.. theres a million ways to display it i guess

brain*

heh. mr freud your stoner slip is showing...

but that is actually a good idea.

everyone on test.mb should be an autoeditor

you are. just auto approve the edits.

this doesn't look too good. I don't like adding information into the link bar.

and albums don't have a "info" section the way artists do.

can't auto aprove my own edits?

i see no place to auto aprove

ioh wait

nevermind

never saw that before

theres an awful lot of blank grey space

i'm sure something could go there.

y0

what about this?

took forever to find it heh

seems like the current layout is hacked to death

i like that spot

maybe just stick it to the left of language

[ ### Data Quality ] Edit | [ Danish, Latin ] Edit | [ Album, Official ] Edit

heh

go check it now

almost

fresh

from hacked to death to fresh in 3 minutes. :-)

well i was talking about two different things, but yeah

ok, the artist data quality now looks the same way

and live on test
