why does Japanese artist releases only use UPERCASE in the album/track titles?

good question.. i wanna know too!

Schika japanese are weird and get special rules

because japaneesers are WEIRD peopel, live with it :)

because when the write it has nothing to do with grammer it has to do with making text look a certain way

they arent all written in only upper case

they don't have casp and othen think a G and a g are different letters

so when they write lower case letters does it look different then upper case?

so they only goafterstylistics, meaning that its quite isnentional and its always consistnet

yes

damn this is horrible

I need to go to bed

bad spelling

the japanese language has no concept of capitalization, so it transfers into english letters i guess

hmmm ... well then I don't touch these releases anymore

good!

as well as a American Enlgish to International English translation dictionary

im the same Schika

teleGUISE: + l33t 5p34k 3nc0d3 4nd d3c0d3 ch3ck3r :P

0m0 g0dz n03z!

Schika: ;O

teleGUISE, XChat seems to correct "teh" for me automatically

schika: i started researching that "at the least" "at least" comment and going to shoot the english teacher ( i believe) that told me that

mustaqil_ just the word 'the' (teh)?

omg i got teh clap

should I shoot mine or you have to shoot your teacher?

it was a bit back.. can't remember if it was my teacher or just someone who was a teacher...

but my thinking is the one who told me.. cuz it looks like the idiom "at least" is correct

I've not found/noticed any others

what's happened to all the album covers?

we removed them all to save space :)

not that they were save here in the first place but....

or should i say "at least" is acceptable ...

though dictionary.com does -not- present it as the first choice when searched for

http://musicbrainz.org/album/1d6acc6a-6ccd-418b... isnt showing any artwork, yet its a valid amazon url http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00063...

I spent bloody ages adding artwork

mudcrow_ I have found that to happen several times to me as well.. and it doesnt make sense cuz usually

teleGUISE, http://dict.leo.org/?lp=ende&lang=de&se...

whats your language preference set at?

I get the best results in use of http://dict.leo.org - so far as I know

im sorry your amazon preference

its just looking at images at amazon.com and not where I linked the image too

amazon.uk

schika: wheres the english?? i click the british flag and everything is still german

one side is english the other german - always

no i meant on the main page... itself .. not the result page

never mind i see the text tag 'english version' on the left hand side

i was clicking the flag thinking it would change... which it should but...

mudcrow: not sure... no matter what amazon country i set it does the same.. like i said ive had the same thing happen with US ASINS when for sure amazon us has a image -not- a user one.

and i look at the url and it will be the same -exact- format as a working one.. just a different asin

i haven't been able to narrow it down but i guess filing a bug report with the particular album and asin might be enough to try and track down

regarding to [untitled] tracks, I did this http://musicbrainz.org/album/4a7a026d-8c42-45ec... to differ all the [untitled] tracks from this artist.

im sure someone wont like it.. but "at least" :) distinguish them.. so im ok with it

err.. crap "at least" it helps distinguish them..

teleGUISE, where are you from? UK or US?

you cant tell from my spelling :)... The U.S.

for my excuse ... we learn in Germany the british english

in the least and at the least must be 'proper' english back from ancient times and the idiom 'at least' must have been new skool or 19th century stuff

like "dance" with attention to the "a"

not sure how old u r.. but schooling back in the day, tended to be more concerned with "as it was written in the year 1504" vs. what is commonly excepted and considered correct in modern society

u know we used books with cloth covers and binders and were taught what an abacus was once used for :O

LOL @ teleGUISE

nikki by chance did you glance at that crypto link?

wolfsongopera_ Hey.. I even know how to use a rotary dial telephone

vaguely

teleGUISE: I *have* one of those

s/there/their

nikki_ where is it made and how old is it?

don't know, quite old

I remember when it used to be our primary phone :)

if you remember some time ... take a look .. curious

whenever... today.tomorrow.next week.

might want to buy/bribe it from ya if it's something i dont already have and unique

noooope.

http://musicbrainz.org/reports/generated/NoScript/ gives me a 404

I noticed that

ok

same with /nolanguage/

nikki_ OH... forgot don't know if you saw.. that I Thanked yourself and inhouseuk for the bogus date report and that we celebrated cuz I cleaned it off. All removed and corrected!

those reports new?

no

teleGUISE: it doesn't say anything on it

teleGUISE: but it looks like http://www.telephonesonline.co.uk/_images/produ...

just a tele report...

nikki_ ah.. ok just a Euro version of the American workhorse the 500 set --- heres a nice bright one for ya - http://oldphones.com/catalog/500lime-2.jpg

that looks far too modern :P

It is a semi-modern one.. cuz may be hard for you to notice but the 'curly' cord is flat wire instead of round and the plugs are modular and not hard wired in

the numbers look weird too.

older -real- original ones had thicker round curly wire

hi

hi don!

that was a Bell/ATT/ITT version... the GTE ones were slightly different... they were the oddball company

ours always had the numbers inside the finger holes

i was just going to say that ;)

I don't remember if it ever had letters, the round bit in the middle had so many stickers on it over the years that I've no idea what it originally looked like

wolfsong: do you want to work on the Wikidocs stuff?

and luks: are you around?

well the letters should have been there.. it was a way to encode the number

yes

if this guy actually gets $235 for this still... i will fall over!! ... I would be rich - http://oldphones.com/Detail.bok?no=13

you are maintaining the PicardTagger page on the wiki, right?

i wouldn't say "maintaining" :)

aaah, while entering track durations, it will not clear the "?:??" field "on active" - I mean when I tab or click into the field

well, you keep it up to date :-)

donredman: yes

yes

it is one of the first wiki docs pages.

schika: stupid question but does it have a disc id by chance?

So, if Rob would give you WikiDocsModerator status, you could shove up the revision number, everytime you want a wiki change to appear on the main site

someone asked for a handy german speaker?

I try to figure out how to submit disc id's for my vinyls ... o_o

Shep, was I, too late now though

donredman: sure

I know you're not a handy, don ;)

It's alrady added, you should be able to mod out the capitalisation if you need to

Shepard!

donredman: do i need rights?

yes, please?

wolfsong: yes, I'll ask Robert

ruaok: ping?

schika: luks could tell ya how :)

and is there a howto?

or luks can you do that, too?

and what?

or wikidocsmoderator privs?

nope, i can't do that

-or

done. log out and back in.

for both luks and wolfsong?

now, yes

thanks

moin �brigens :-)
