Off for a few weeks/months. You can still join me by mail.

Update: I'm off community stuff (irc/ml), and not working much on my usual pet projects. Still, I can't resist killing a night or two editing random stuff :D

I was formerly known as ''The Creature of Dr'' [[User:TeleGUISE|teleSTEIN]], and/or as ''The Crazy Annotations Master'' - a somewhat overrated title I owned by... annotating... Lately, [[User:Yurim|Yurim]] has been calling me ''L.A.'' (''Lord Annotator'') - which probably means I'm getting old ;)
I'm supposed to operate mostly in the jazz sections of the database. Most of my usurpated glory comes from the fact most people thought my understanding and feeling of the genre was indeed encyclopedic knowledge of it :p

I'm a native french speaker, willing to help these who desperately need to fix french titles but can't (as long as they don't plan to call on [[Artist Intent]]). Note that if they do plan to, they don't need any expertise, they can mess the titles all by themselves ;) .

These days, much of my free time is consumed by the [[Jazz/Labels|Jazz Labels]] project.

Just my personnal memos and todo list, plus my bookmarks.
Some random stuff, memos, todo list, notes, bookmarks, dinosaurs bones...


==Extra-editing stuff I've been workin' on==
==Just my personnal memos and todo list==


Wiki:
* Never ending projects, editing suggestions:
* As far as I remember, my first contribution to the wiki was this tomfoolery:
** The [[Completist]].

* I then done my share in fleshing out the [[Jazz]] section:
** [[Jazz]]
** [[Jazz/Collections]]
** [[Jazz/Collections]]
** [[Jazz/Compositions]]
** [[Jazz/Compositions]]
** [[Jazz/Labels]]
** [[Jazz/Dates]]
** [[Jazz/Labels]] and childrens...
** [[Jazz/Places]]
** [[Jazz/Quotes]]
** [[Jazz/Words]]
** While as a whole the interest of these pages is pretty random, some of them happen to be valuable, and I suggest you take a look at [[Jazz/Compositions]] and [[Jazz/Collections]] for editing suggestions.


* Lately, I've been involved in the work done on labels, which sum up to: {{FullSearch|linkto:CategoryLabel}}
* Urgent tasks:
** get rid of the VA mess on jazz:
* I'm also the father of this other tomfoolery:
** [[Frogs Tidying Marathon|FrogsTidyingMarathon]] which happens to have generated +10k edits ;)
*** seek and document a maximum of these compilations
*** seek, retrieve, complete and harmonize all these collections with horribly hard to dig titles, like The Jazz Masters (mostly done)
*** squeeze down every possibility to obtain data, including pinging original add-moderators
*** destroy / fix what doesn't exist / is improperly entered


Style stuff I introduced:
* [[Advanced Relationship|AdvancedRelationship]] '''artist''' ''wrote liner notes for'' '''release'''.
* the new language ''Artificial (Other)'' (see the badly misnamed [[Artificial Artists|ArtificialArtists]])

==Editing plans==

* get rid of the VA comp mess on jazz
* Artists on the tidying radar:

==Style TODO==

* re-open capitalization style for abreviated words like 'Round
* obtain track annotations
* form the MB Jazz Strike Force with other jazz moderators, an informal group of moderators sharing/debating opinions (eg: on topics like track title variant chosen for harmonization), and coordinating tidying efforts, ensuring both that Jazz doesn't derive from MB style, and still doesn't loose its specificity - right now, the strike-force/thingie/stuff resumes to Yllona and myself communicating by throwing at each other rare jazz track titles, mood-driven and freely-word-associated, which is actually very fun

Revision as of 13:39, 7 December 2006

Who are you?

A moderator known either as dmppanda, Mangled, or Olivier. Any of these will make my IRC client go *blink* (if I'm on IRC) - otherwise, you can drop me a mail.

I was formerly known as The Creature of Dr teleSTEIN, and/or as The Crazy Annotations Master - a somewhat overrated title I owned by... annotating... Lately, Yurim has been calling me L.A. (Lord Annotator) - which probably means I'm getting old ;)

I'm supposed to operate mostly in the Jazz sections of the database. Actually, this part of the db is pretty much abandoned, so it wasn't really hard to look like I was a jazz guru - which I'm not.

I'm a native french speaker, willing to help these who desperately need to fix french titles but can't (as long as they don't plan to call on ArtistIntent). Note that somebody calling on ArtistIntent does not actually need any kind of expertise - they can mess the titles all by themselves.

Due to a demanding and variable professional life, I'm on and off depending on the period of the year and facts beyond my control (eg: if I got work, or if I got dough / spondulicks / wonga) - so you may either find me very easily, or have to wait a week for a mail answer...

What is on this page?

Some (auto)-editors, Volume 1: The Good

Editors I've been/I'm working with regularly:

  • Marcel Editor:Bad_Seed, who always answer yes for my spanish/portuguese laundry
  • Editor:mbase1235 a.k.a. Steve Coleman, on the project to fix his own discography

Editors I'm sometime voting on their edits:

Bookmarks: Things I should watch on a regular basis and I don't

Funniest typos

Track typos that made me laugh:

  • L'idole des jaunes
  • Would You Lie to Take a Walk?
  • Take Lobe Easy

Stuff that need to be addressed / answered

  • instruments "tap dancing" (Who used to dance) and "pocket trumpet" (Don Cherry)
  • ticket 2090
  • need to be able to return more than 100 results on search
  • GuessCase strange behavior on "Sittin' and Rockin'"
  • GuessCase french mode somewhat horked

Ideas for reports / scripts / crazy development

  • Have a report of all (supposed) homebrew discid
  • release date: mom' lil' helper
  • A XUL interface to the web service and/or the web site

Holy crap!!!!

Extremely politically incorrect thoughts

Disclaimer: whoever you are, don't you ever mention me as a reference if you think the same. These thoughts are the shame of the community, counter-productive, dangerous, and I'll deny I ever thought them if somebody asks me.

That being said...

  • "Preserving (album version) into titles just sucks"
  • "Using sentence mode for french capitalization is the laziest and most stupid move done by the french editors in MB *ever*. Nice going guys."
  • "Go to hell composer style!" (Shepard in a great moment of inspiration)

Spoken languages

(like Shepard, but worse: it's (a bit) more than "some" but it's (very) far from fluent ;) , which obviously is my favorite excuse to ignore things when I don't want to hear them) Template:lang fr-native Template:lang en-some
