Hi all, so there's a long-defunct artist database from the early 00s that covered Australian artists. Ostensibly, the biographies and discographies were submitted by the artists themselves.

I've gone and scraped ~700 working archived pages + artist names via Wayback Machine. Ought I to add these URLs, even when Wiki pages exist for the artists? Should I consider submitting a ticket to elevate these URLs to a specific relationship type?

Guys, thanks for the responses, though I'm seeking very specific answers to my questions.
As for the second question, it stands that I'm seeking to find whether I should submit a ticket for the "Other Databases" whitelist. Seeing as the site has been defunct for over two decades, I'm informally querying here first. https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Other_Databases_Relat…
actually, there was this version where each bit with a character had the music replaced with that characters signature music, i can't find it again so if anyone knows about it...

hi. i tried to boot up mbslave today and seemed to get a sql constraint error

tried to init mbslave*. error: psycopg2.errors.CheckViolation: new row for relation "label" violates check constraint "label_label_code_check"
<discordbrainz> "<zemeles> Anyone experiencing..." <- a couple of our servers have been experiencing increased response times...I just adjusted the weights to try and help, but time will tell
Archie Buttle: imo it never hurts to make a ticket asking for a site to be added, even if it gets marked as ‘wont do’ - I think it’s useful for future editors to find in the ticket system. I have no idea if we whitelist defunct/dead sites! But it actually makes a bit of sense imo!
Better than nothing, and still great for reference! But not ‘archival’ quality by the looks of it

<05mathgeniuszach> definitely not, not sure where to scan it though

<05mathgeniuszach> I tried scanning a white piece of paper to see if I could correct the distortion, but I think it's positional distortion rather than color shift

mathgeniuszach: When my scanner finally broke I got a scanner/printer hybrid second hand for 20 bucks, with a good enough scanner (600dpi max). I reckon you could probably find one for free in your area without too much trouble - they basically give the things away after all. Refilling the ink costs twice as much more as a scanner/printer...

Honestly, the big printer companies (are there small ones though?) are fucking evil. Knowingly creating an insane amount of waste/not interested in longevity, and purposeful crippling of their devices to only work with their ink

But it’s good news for people who want an A4 scanner

<05mathgeniuszach> Perhaps. Though right now it's a little bit of a hassle while moving, so I'll get to that in the future. I think I'll do some editing from some camera photos just for something that's of enough quality

Yeah, I would just be wary of sinking too much of your personal time into something that you may want to revisit later, or wont be happy with. Depends on your OCD levels though :D

Always dreamed of getting one of those big commercial ones, heaps available - busting out zines and release covers etc! But where the heck would it go D:

<05mathgeniuszach> right now I'm just doing a high-quality picture in good lighting, perspective shifting it, and then expanding out the edges to effective size. So not much more than a few minutes each

<05mathgeniuszach> right now the imagines don't exist in any clean format online, period. So I want something to be out there until I have the time to get a higher quality scanner
