MB Community Team ♥

I randomly came across this which kinda knocked my socks off, enough to revive the Community Team!

Check out what @subtlecoolness has done with this podcast series.

I know first hand how arduous it is to add a long podcast series. Brilliant job :tada:

Thanks @aerozol ! Your comment inspired me to go back and check, and… I started work on that series 4 years ago! Just part of my life background tasks to add new episodes as they come out now.

Wow, came across some edits by @nlg734, amazing!

Submits their own beautiful scans, and my kinda attention to detail with digital downloads :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Thanks! I’m glad the work I put into some of this is appreciated - I’ve definitely enjoyed working on adding to MusicBrainz, we even bought a new scanner so I could get better quality scans.

Sometimes the digital downloads are the hardest to work with, since some of those get changed up (looking at you, certain Bandcamp releases).

What a nice idea for a thread!

I’ll give a shout out to @ladywhiskers94 (MB Profile). I have seen them working hard in my KPop subscriptions often this year. And lately I have seen them working on cleaning up a particularly messy situation with the group BIGBANG. Thank you for all your hard work!

just want to give @CyberSkull a high-five for adding work aliases to the entire Pokemon Red/Green/Blue soundtrack (and likely others I haven’t come across yet)~

I guess it’s to be expected from MusicBrainz’ all-time top editor, but still impressive!

I don’t think I’ve had a (daily) subscription email crack 1k edits for an entity before:

Wanted to shout out @afrocat for being so patient and helping guide me with the very confusing guidelines for remixes and aiding me to become a better editor over time

Wowww, look at all the events that @RVMWSN has added for the VERA venue!!

It seems like they get a incredible band (or two) in every weekend - I think I’m moving to Groningen…

I want to shout out a new CritiqueBrainz user.

Usually I’m just sifting through spam on CB, but @kirk781 has been giving me lots of nice reviews to read, starting this year! Check them out here.

And another high-five for @sound.and.vision, who still posts the occasional highly entertaining review for me too. See their reviews here. I always love a good 1/5 review!

Thank you! I originally used to rate albums and even bootlegs on RateYourMusic but then ultimately shifted to AllMusic and this site. I wish to some day write in depth reviews [like track by track ones of say, my favorite albums ]. Meanwhile, I just hope more folks find their way onto here.

Shout out to @Askew1, a relatively new editor who has been super receptive to edit notes, picking things up quickly, and just all-round friendly!

But I really wanted to shout them out for this edit note:

:scream: :heart:
(FYI Askew1, it’s MB tradition to moan about the docs constantly - often with good cause, sometimes without!)

Crazy work on this podcast @diskotechjam :0

Probably safe to say that you recommend it? :stuck_out_tongue:

thanks! It’s one of the best science and philosophy podcasts around. :grinning: Real shout out to @derat though, their work on yambs has been a real boon for podcasts on MB.

Shout out @zVu3Xqt for the hours spent identifying and correcting hip hop recordings, often times popular ones with multiple clean/radio edits.

Shout out @elQuotho for having incredible attention to detail in the same vein, entering thousands of edits for hip hop releases, recordings, and works.

It’s satisfying voting on your edits. I understand how much time and effort can go into merging two recordings (rather, identifying them). Thanks for all you do.

A big shout out to @IvanDobsky and @bmwgser for their lovely collaboration in this thread!

Patient and helpful advice, given to someone who is equally patient and open to feedback. Warms the heart!
