yvanzo: how does https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Style/Relationship... sound?

reosarevok: I think actually that unless there i an archive of some sort, saving old links is pretty useless :s

Well, I don't think we should force people to go check if there's an archive, in the first place

(although due to the archive process initiated by (forget the name) less and less links should not actually have a n archived version)

ie I mean. moing forawrd all links *are* archived

But also, if you're looking at band "The Common Name", and you find an old resource and are like "is this for the same 'The Common Name' band", and both list the same now dead myspace page or whatever, well, that's useful :)

well yes that's interesting

but use that as an example

(what I'm (slightly) worriedabotu is every single link that ever existed being on an artist)

even stuff that wasn't really that interesting or usefull

I did :) "and even if that doesn't exist it can be useful as a way to know that other page listing the same URL referred to the same artist"

yea i didn't get that for mthat. needs a little rewording? or as an example

Well, does it *hurt*? :) Most artists don't get that many links

Except for super popular ones, which probably don't have the links die that often

I agree that, say, keeping a ton of "interview" links, was someone to link them all, might be annoying, but then, those are likely to be archived and of interest to someone :/

I mean, yes

but also also, if something is archived. why not link to the archive link too?

(something i've been wondering about)

Well, ideally we'd do that automatically somehow

Although I'm not sure what's the best way

a second [archive] next to the [info] link?

Maybe. Just would be nice to only show that if it exists, but not sure how to make + store that check

Maybe bitmap or ROpdebee have ideas

hi, should I make a separate release for music videos (on youtube), or should I just put it as a (video stream) link under the digital release?

geoffreyy: music videos are separate recordings

reosarevok: I agree with adding a link to IA, it's not a good idea to make it unclickable, maybe it's just temporarily unavailable or at lease it might be available on IA

huh. "Guess case" turns "´s" into "´S" ? that seems... wrong?

into " ´S" actually

oh, I see. ACUTE ACCENT

"In proper typography, U+2019 is not only the right single quotation mark, but also the preferred character for representing the apostrophe."

’ is what you want yeah

well, unless it´s artistic intent ;)

atj: how does a-tisket determine whether something is an album or an EP?

opal: doubting it's artist intent, because it's possessive

it’s

what's the release

ugh they block tor

wonder if wayback machine can help me here

yeah that one works

I'm also capitalizing the artist name there. the promo copy uses caps, etc.

yeah definitely doesnt seem intended

(btw artist intent includes violations of grammar/spelling just for future reference)

i have a few releases i need to fix because other people arent familiar with those artists and their intent at all

yeah, unless it's clearly a typo, which, given that I mostly tag digital releases, imo happens more than actual artist intent

one release i have no idea what to do with is viper's ... uh, southwest hooligan i think

LOL, viper.

viper's sick

and at least i dont [off] my musical tastes :^)

say that to the camera not off the record see what happens

I think Viper's music is interesting, for sure

I wonder how many people have actually bought the insane private press CDs he has on bandcamp

there's so many of them, someone would have to be willing to spend a ton of money to collect them complete

i hear that if you buy directly from viper he legit just wraps shit in a plastic bag

yeah I thought about buying a "y'all cowards" shirt, but... reconsidered after some of the stories

i'd still gladly rep him

it's you'll btw

maybe even you´ll

oh right, I realized I needed to type it

and then typed the thing he meant lol

typo or artistic intent? :D

there's a really famous one in the bay area, mac dre "fellin' myself"

the lyrics say "Feelin'" and many sources correct it, but it appears to canonically be called "fellin' myself" based on streaming and cd

haha thats great

thought he was a lumberjack from that title

atj: does the "isrcs from spotify" site actually work for you?

Made a duplicate release group https://musicbrainz.org/edit/82363687 :p

loujine: do you know why this might be? https://beta.musicbrainz.org/edit/82335702

yyoung[m]: the reason why we make these unclickable (at least for display) is to give users a clear idea that this is not a normal working link, and because it's perfectly possible it points to porn ads or whatever now

So it seems fair to try and protect the user from that a bit - if they really want to go check, there's no problem with copying the URL and opening it :)

derwin: yes

you need to allow popups for the MB OAuth IIRC

reosarevok: It looks good, thank you.

Should this artist be a group? https://www.discogs.com/artist/153360-Parallel-... https://musicbrainz.org/artist/395c63fc-edfd-42...

Bakis Sirros (with some ocassional collaborators)

I've added some composed by work rels for "Bakis Sirros" via "credited as" https://musicbrainz.org/artist/395c63fc-edfd-42...

atj: I disabled various privacy things but maybe on the wrong sites
