Just figuring it all out. ;) so, you think it should be going to specific entries that need the most votes.. like. particular advance searches? I'm not positive how to do that.
LOL Ah, that's sweet Martin!
thank you.. and true
:-/
I've been doing some puid entry earlier..
MartinRudat
hmm?
Nyght
Hmm, on which part?
there was a handful there. ;)
the biggest, how do you propose I do the search for advance votes
MartinRudat
puid entry... though my thoughts on cleaning involve turps, and (if the surface will survive it) a wire-brush... =)
the search for advanced votes?
MartinRudat blinks and re-reads, I missed some bits, it seems...
Nyght
ah, just starting on the a's in my collection.. working down the alphebet, getting some things put into the db that weren't already there.. totally don't want to do the variant discs I still have to do from liners though
Schika: don't have flash here... would I be shocked if I did?
Nyght
You had said instead of the type of votes, it would potentially be better to do votes that needed to be voted on.. I agree, but have no clue how to do it.

hi
g0llum is now known as keschte
Nyght
hi keschte
MartinRudat
G'day g0llu... keschte.
keschte
heh
MartinRudat grumps about people changing nicks while he's still typing 'hi'... =)
i'm sorry :)
brb
Nyght
hehehe he caught me too. I just changed in midflow. ;)

hi keschte! =)
keschte
wonderful mornings
or time of days
ruaok: here?
Nyght
not that I've seen
keschte
Nyght: do you have the necessary info for the wikidocs stuff?
MartinRudat
Nyght: hmm... are you planning to add say... "HowToVoteOnAddReleaseEdits"?
Nyght
I'm not really sure. I had asked for Wolfie to look it over, and perhaps give me a sorta idea of if it was going in the general lines of "okay" but then he distracted me with soundtracks.. or, nechtro, distracted us.
keschte
common problem.
how can i help you?
Nyght
Martin, I can't even say I know how to vote on add release edits. ;) Shall I say, my views are a bit.. skewed. ;)
Schika
MartinRudat, it's a game about abused cuddly toys and you are the doctor
Nyght
kesche, would you glance over it and see if you think it's more or less okay? Martin had suggested to doing a list of the most needed votes, and I like that idea, and was thinking of that anyways, but I don't know how to do the URL for the advance search to pick up the ...
MartinRudat
Schika: ah. that's neat. I should really get mol working so I can use flash...
Nyght
specifics. Like, if I was going to take them to the AddRelease votes.. how would I do it?
keschte
i don't know if we have to create a heap of new content...
as far as the porting is concerned, i'd use wiki subpages like /Development/Subversion and /Development/SubversionModules etc, and basically paste the content from these pages: http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/browser/mb_server/t... into the wiki. then we can start intertwingling the content.
i feel these pages need not be integrated into the other wiki too much, the purpose of wikidocs is to have the pages in an editable place, such that no html coding is required to make changes.... not necessarily wiki pages like others.
Nyght
okay, that was sort of what I had gotten from Don, or Ruaoc, that we were trying to go that direction.
keschte
hmm... i've heard other opinions before. they'd like to start from the leaves and work towards the trunk of the wiki tree. but that is almost unmanageable and takes too much time.
MartinRudat chews on amazon... I don't think I would have added an ASIN for an album with a different tracklisting...
but since we discussed that, i've seen not much change (for a month, maybe).
oh, a quick remark: http://test.musicbrainz.org/doc/HowToVote <-- the mechanism of wiki docs does not display the title of the document. you have to manually add a title = Some Title = at the top of the document, else it looks rather weird :)
Nyght
Somethings can be so .. slow, and yeah, you can't go from the leaves to the trunk, you have to start from the trunk and go outward.
So, move the How To Vote up, before the preface?
keschte
well, i think i'm going to have a stomach ulcer before this gets live ;)
yes.
ok, i'm done cunting today :|
Nyght
ah, well, if you can point me to the pages that need the shifts from moderate to edit, and that sort of thing I will gladly do them, I just started looking myself and most of the pages I tripped on didn't seem correct for that sort of thing.
I can do this as I get more thoughts towards what to "do" with it. ;)
keschte
there's a search box on the top right.. i've used that, it works :)
you have to press search in page text tough, not the titles
though
Nyght
so basically every instance of the moderate switched to it's appropriate term?
yeah
I was told that. ;)
MartinRudat gumbles at amazon... they've stopped selling the version of Shirley Bassey's Singles Album I've got...
you might check in the other amazons, though singles I think are the most difficult
MartinRudat
Nyght: it's an album collecting her singles... there's at least two versions, with two different sets of cover art... one amazon.com is still selling, and one they presumably had a few copies left over of, because it was on amazon.com last week...
keschte
ok.. i'm running off.
today is the pool cleaning day :)
keschte has quit
MartinRudat
huh. that's odd... I didn't put the label, cat# and barcode in the annotation it seems... but I did go look for it on google...
MartinRudat shrugs; gotta go dig the disc out again, I suppose.

hiya Joan.

morning martin
MartinRudat prods the "Billboard" VA CDs he's got... they're all one or two tracks different to the ones already in the db...
mudcrow
morning Joan
Joan_W
morning mudcrow - it's pouring up here
that'll please nikki
mudcrow
bleeding hot down here
Joan_W
it will move down to you during the day
and I was going to wash the car today
mudcrow
I need to wash mine, its starting to look like a mobile sand dune
Joan_W
that's why I'm glad it's raining - at least it will wash all the dust off.
MartinRudat hmms... did billboard keep seprate aussie charts in addition to uk charts?
I doubt it Martin
MartinRudat is trying to figure out why he's got a bunch of CDs 'Billboard Top Rock 'n' Roll Hits' ... and they're all slightly different from the ones in the DB... despite identical titles...
Because they re-cycle titles every couple of years
re-arrange the tracks, shove a couple of new ones in - and hey presto easy money
If they were honest the titles should read "Billboard Top Rock 'n' Roll Hits 1998" or whatever year they put it out in
I've got my cynical head on this morning
MartinRudat
supposedly they're all pulled from the top 100 charts for the year they're titled for... which was why I was wondering if there was more than one billboard chart...
MartinRudat prods his computer... it locked up for something on the order of 30 seconds while ejecting a CD... how lovely.
mudcrow
blah! to Aussie releases. :p always a PITA
Knio has quit
MartinRudat
mudcrow: I'm beginning to form that impression myself...
mudcrow
are Australians anti internet? I always struggle finding info on any Australian/New Zealand band (that isn't internationly well known)
Joan_W
just pulled Billboard up and there is an Australian chart, but it is only available to subscribers
Knio joined the channel
MartinRudat
mudcrow: I dunno. perhaps they are.
Joan: that would explain some differences between the australian billboard albums and the ones on amazon, I'd imagine.
