If an album has its title and tracks capitalized on both Bandcamp and the official YouTube channel, is it safe to say that it's artist intent and it should be capitalized on MB?

<12Aerozol> It's hard to say. Personally I think that is a sign of artist intent of wanting the titles to LOOK COOL, but not necessarily that the song name is 'literally' always meant to be in caps. I don't think there is a clear answer - you can probably go with your gut... If you really want to be thorough you could check if they mention individual songs in CAPS on their social channels, e.g. in a normal sentence

Yeah it is a bit of a difficult one (the artist's name is capitalized too). It was originally imported into MB uppercase but someone changed it to "MB capitalization" a few years back - I guess I'll leave it as is as it seems like it's a bit of a grey area.

Thanks :-)

you can try to get a look on the back cover on CD/Vinyl-rls (if it exists), compare with discogs.com or change it how you think it should be and wait what voters think. if nobody complains - all good. 🙂 from my experience HIGHCAPS on bandcamp-sites = better sales numbers intended. 😏

Back cover of CD is a example of where we should not follow capitalisation, unless there is another sign of artist intent. All caps is a common graphic design choice for packaging :)

sales numbers 🙂

MusicBrainz community? Is that getting added to the other channels?

*community

No, it is just for display in Matrix.

Why?

Because of the new MB Picard dev channel.

It makes it more clear that this isn’t a development channel, to the opposite of others.

I don’t see how it is different to the BookBrainz channel

BookBrainz channel is for both development and community.

BB channel is used for dev

> Community and Development channel for BookBrainz

I don’t know if there was a problem, but if that was the consensus somewhere

Then 👍️

It’s mainly to drive MusicBrainz Picard users towards this room, now that there is a development room for it too.

(For IRC users, we’re actually speaking about Matrix room, not IRC channels.)

Is this all in private chats?

No, it is a new public room, just created a few minutes ago.

That has been discussed in our main room.

Ah, not the renaming, but casing?

But it’s fine, just looks weird to me

Scroll a bit more for the creation of the dev room. 📜

reminding people that for #bookbrainz there exists also #bookbrainz-devel (which is invite only )

and if it would help now there are the matrix things, we could reenable this, move dev talk there an have #bookbrainz just be casual bridged to matrix/discord

<03reosarevok.> @vaclovas.: are you around?

<03reosarevok.> I just noticed there's some warnings about the Lithuanian translation

<03reosarevok.> And they seem to be because in singular vs plural strings, we have "Lithuanian, Singular (1, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91, 101, …)"

<03reosarevok.> Suggesting a string like "Ačiū, tavo {edit_url|redagavimas} ({edit_ids}) buvo įtrauktas į redagavimo eilę tarpusavio peržiūrai." will actually be shown for 1, 21, 31 etc. Does that seem to make any sense?

<11binzy_boi> Oof, seems that the IA is down again

<08zemeles> The CAA is acting up again

<02UltimateRiff> I was about to ask the same thing, lol

<08zemeles> How come there's a limit on how often we can send a message here?

@zemeles Probably to encourage people to type out full, cohesive, and thought-out messages instead of multiple small, one to two word long messages in rapid succession.

Like..

Probably a me thing

but this is so annoying

But that is just a guess based on my personal pet-peeve and nothing else. =)

<10volumetrique> I think discord users tend to type a lot of small messages. I sure do lol

Yeah, I've noticed that. I do have Discord myself, but I don't join any guilds, I only use it to send private messages to my friends who refuse to use anything else. It's a trend between them.

Not that I'm blaming anyone for using Discord over IRC. It's.. very spartan :P

Can IRC users "ping" Discord users? Or do we need to include their weird little username#1234 tags typed out by hand O.o

<02UltimateRiff> @zemeles I think it's to limit like, copy-paste spam too. I have yet to be stopped by the 5 second slowmode on Discord

Five seconds is nothing.

<02UltimateRiff> ridge: I've gotten pings through the bridge, I think you'd just need to mention the username

@UltimateRiff Thanks!

<02UltimateRiff> also, Discord got rid of the discriminators like, about a year ago?

<02UltimateRiff> (that ping worked, by the way)

Oh, interesting. Also, \o/ woot

re irc ping, actually you don|t need tp put the (irc) this at all, because that's not in my name (eg I'm just "MonkeyPython"not "MonkeyPython (irc)")
