is https://community.metabrainz.org/c/picard/13 the best place to discuss features, etc., of Picard Version 2.7.0.dev3?

My name was added without my consent to an artist entry. I've edited the page to reflect my current name, but the old name is still in the history. Is it stuck there forever, or is there a way to scrub that?

so you're saying you're a subject/artist type entry?

or something to that effect

got a link to your page?

ah i see what happened

you're definitely on the right track with the edits

i cant personally answer about scrubbing edit history info

definitely hang out here for a bit though

IIRC it has been discussed on dev meeting before

it does seem likely it would have come up before

so that would amke sense

hyprfnt: we don't have a way to change the edit history at the moment, but we already have a plan to allow that for birthdates

Once that is implemented, I can also see it used for deadnames that are not used for the music itself

(the plan is that a birthdate that was requested as private would be replaced by something like [REDACTED], and I can imagine that would also work here

)

that would make sense

a null placeholder

(there was a huge discussion about deadnames that were used to put music under originally, since it's hard to find a good compromise between keeping the credits people have in their files vs getting rid of the deadname, but as far as I understand that's not the case here anyway)

yeah this case at least appears to use a stage name

I'll make a note on that feature request noting we could consider using it for deadnames too, at the very least

Yeah…I read a discussion about it on the…forums? Seems like a complex subject.

published ones are tough, cause it's obviously desirable to keep up with people's wishes

but it's also true that htings were definitely published under specific credits

hyprfnt: I'm sorry you had to read through that, it wasn't the most civil and constructive discussion we've ever had :/

I'll make a private note about your artist so that once we do implement that option I will hopefully remember to use it

No worries. And thanks.

id almost suggest finding a way to tag deadnames in the intervening time, but i imagine that's not particularly easier than just doing the fix outright

MBS-11829: Allow redacting birth date of edit data

thanks for making the note though ...i was just going to ask about that

is it safe to assume AcoustID is dead? https://acoustid.org/stats

d4rkie: I think lookup still works, submission has some issues recently. There is some discussion of this on the forums

I don't know whether submission is completely dead or not, but I'd assume luks will get this fixed soon

submission seems to be down for a week at least

my timing to get back to editing is impeccable XD

at least with acoustID I can just submit them later and merge the recordings if they overlap

CatQuest: No need for ozone to be permanently here, I think. We’re not getting that much UV radiation in here.

how is acousticbrainz populated?

derwin: By people submitting to it.

d'oh, the beets plugin only queries, and does not submit.

oh hrm, "absubmit"

that is.. not what I would have expected it to be named

There has been talk about merging the two, but IIRC they were both made as GCI projects, so it made more sense to develop them in separate to make the tasks smaller and more self-contained.

And then it's just something that noone’s gotten back to. :)

btw way not integrate absubmit into Picard as opt-in?

would be dope

how can I make this the proper way? its a single remixed single?! lel https://beta.musicbrainz.org/release-group/24ea...
