#musicbrainz

really, someone used a filesharing site as source for adding a release? :D https://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/1d3aee63-2...

anyway, fixed that release :|

SothoTalKer: to be fair, a lot of filesharing websites probably use MB :P

could i get some votes on https://musicbrainz.org/release/cca67a12-b2a9-4... ? thanks!

i replied to https://musicbrainz.org/edit/47728122

Freso: could you also approve https://musicbrainz.org/edit/47728121 please? i see you approved the medium/recording edits which changed the same thing, i forgot that RG edits are not listed in release edits, so this one was out of sight. thanks!

also any input on the edit release edit is welcome

ok so i think my edit should not fail now (though language and script are filled in)

because one of the edits was reverted (which i missed)

so it seems like the editor changed the AC with autoedits before they saw my open edits (which should also not happen)

so at least i know it was not a deliberate attempt to make my edit fail

REMINDER: 2017 MeB T-shirt Ideas go here (Monday is decision day!): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GvlEBkiW485...

CatCat: good morning!

yea hi

orry

yeah i saw

its fine

that edit is magical i think

anyway i approved that one edit

cause i also thought its changing stuff to new values (and not reverting previous)

to be fair to fmera, it's easy to miss open edits whne you see an error

i just hope my edit release edit won't fail because the language and script is already filled in

it shouldn't (just approved it)

not sure what is the logic about conflicts

it shouldn't (just approved it) :D

erh

I've had so many by now that i hardly notice thme :D

could you also approve the RG edit that i did?

link it?

for the future: linking a few of those stores in the edit note is a good idea

i thought the edit is a nobrainer

nope :)

you're claiming that it's " feat. " exactly

and that if someone has problems with how it's displayed on the cover art, they would just let my edits pass and then submit the AC edits

proof is always useful for voters

so the people could vote on them

the thing is that i added the store links in the same edit chain

but the relationships are autoedits

well unfortiunatly i can't see those as they are auto's i think? so it's always usuefullto paste a hload of links in the edit note

too bad you can't see all the related edits in the same edit chain

anywa: for the future: what isaid earlier

:)

i'vehad to re-learn that lesson myself

so i thought it's redundant (e.g. the same edit note would also be displayed for the add relationship edits)

looking at 10 year old edits of my own going 2wtf was i doing?"

yeah i will try to add more stuff to the notes

+1!

also, what to do now about this release

with edit notes when i doubth: more is better

medium + recording has one AC, release + rg has the other AC

no idea. i'm going ot try focusing on instrments and not debussy

wish me luck!

good luck and have fun!

:D

also even though my edits didn't fail (luckily), is still have issues with editors making edits on entities that already have open edits. i acknowledge that you can miss it by accident, but if you are an experienced editor (which i assume autoeditors are) and you are making an autoedit, you should look at the open edits to check if there's anything conflicting and then discuss it before

submitting your autoedits

and as i said in the edit note, i don't have any issues with discussing the topic of digital media cover art vs store AC to figure out which one should be used

There are the countries "Germany" and "East Germany", but strangely, "West Germany" missing.

how to add it / request it?

Assigning releases "made in West Germany" just to "Germany" is not optimal IMO.

(I'm referring to the "manufacured in"-relationship)

spitzwegerich: that's because West Germany officially just switched into Germany for ISO - DE was the "Code used for West Germany before 1990 (previous ISO country name: Germany, Federal Republic of)"

So there's no different country in that sense in the official ISO list, West Germany is Germany

spitzwegerich: i was thinking the exact same thing. i had several older cd releases was made in "west germany"

reosarevok: but that's a code weakeness

in reality, it's not true ™

(i mena if iwe had area-credits maybe)

was "West Germany" the official name? :)

quick question about digital media releases: does what is displayed on the cover art priority over what is displayed in the store or a streaming service? (iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, Spotify, YouTube)

i know in the case of physical releases it does, but not sure about digital media

cause "digital media covers" can sometimes be a little weird
