Requests for Votes Thread

Hello,

I would like to become an Auto-Editor, nominate me, please.

In my spare time I am engaged in adding music to musicbrainz that does not exist there, which I buy through bandcamp.
I have an understanding of styleguides and also a desire to work for the benefit of the community.

My musicbrainz profile: https://musicbrainz.org/user/roman412

Thank you.

I need some votes here: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/51965069 and https://musicbrainz.org/edit/51965070.

The issue is that a track has been consistently printed as “怱怱” (pronounced “chong chong”). 怱 is a more obscure way of writing 匆 (also pronounced “chong”), but both Chinese characters mean the same. 怱 is definitely not a typo, because it has been printed this way in the initial release and re-releases. The Mandarin translation of the Cantonese song bears the same title and is also printed as “怱怱” in the Taiwan and Chinese mainland releases. The other editor is trying to say that we should use “匆匆” instead because it is more commonly written as so.

I need some votes to correct a wrongly added disc ID. I’ve got lent some library CDs by Doldinger/passport and some discs were in the wrong package. Checked to late…

https://musicbrainz.org/edit/52114979 (faulty disc ID; 8 tracks)
https://musicbrainz.org/cdtoc/attach?toc=1+10+268799+150+30795+50497+79715+97622+120081+147672+169604+192804+220761&filter-release.query=passport+to+morocco (correct disc ID; 10 tracks)

Thanks

I got a no vote on a routine featured artist edit because of some uncited conflict with Last.fm’s data.

https://musicbrainz.org/edit/52080124

I’m having a problem as the editor is forcing an ISNI sort and that’s blocking other edits I want to make.

Edit #52155417

Is a remix with 100% new music a new work or a recording of the original work?

I share this view:

But I’ll let you all decide:

edit #52017124

PS: Please, just one vote!

So there’s this one editor who likes to add disambiguation comments to recordings, regardless of whether they’re needed or not. I entered a bunch of edits to clean up some of these unnecessary disambiguations and got bombed with No votes: title because long URL is looooong

This same editor also hit me with a barrage of No votes to remove non-existent relationships (after I called him out for adding them).

Can somebody tell me what’s going on with this edit?

I submitted it about a week ago to update the artist credits. The waiting period on the edit has ended but I am not seeing the changes in MB or in Picard.

Ignore this question. I don’t know if there was a delay in the waiting period expiring and the changes showing up on the website and in Picard but the changes are showing up now.

Hello everyone,

Could you please vote for this change, or maybe an auto-editor can do it : https://musicbrainz.org/edit/52316987

I think I made a mistake to solve a recording conflict, and adding this disembiguation string was not a good idea at all IMO.

Thanks in advance!

The MusicBrainz idea of “one day remaining” is a little confused as to what a day is. Always look closer at the actual expiry time. “One day remaining” means “less that two days” so can actually be 47hours…

There’s this one editor who’s been adding bootleg digital downloads of various releases. Recently they added two “versions” of the same bootleg, with the only difference being slight text differences in the cover art (which itself was badly Photoshopped in on both releases). There’s a bit of a debate whether both versions should be kept, or only one; I think we need some more opinions.

Any chance that I could get some more vote/input on edit #52337216. Editor is trying to change an entire instance (artist credit) of “feat” (no period) with “feat.” (with period), stating that it must be a typo.

There is only a day left in the voting.

I don’t usually ask for votes, but this is a major album release (new Janelle Monáe) and this edit could use early approval so as to avoid any more chaos: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/52492126

I explained everything in the note and provided the cd extraction log for proof (it’s from the same American issue). There’s an obvious typo (title swap) on the back cover track listing.

edit: also the release could use an annotation explaining that that the titles on the cover art (#11, #12) don’t align with the actual contents of the medium.

So there was a soundtrack album that came out recently, and it was initially released digitally as one medium with 27 tracks. It was announced in advance that the CD version would be on 2 discs, but there was nothing (at least when I checked) to indicate which tracks fell on which disc. I finally got ahold of said release and have 2 edits in the pipeline to split the medium in two; the reason I’m posting this here is I won’t be able to submit a Disc ID for disc 1 until the edit is applied.

I need a disambiguation updated. Thanks.

Trying to put this puppy to bed.

Why are those not auto edits, @Llama_lover?

I don’t know? Should they have been?

It should have been, unless you have checked the Make all edits votable. option of the release editor (las tab). :slight_smile:
