[edit] Request for deletion

I went through and found a bunch of Ben Folds Five songs that are really just Ben Folds (his solo career) and marked them for deletion.

[edit] Goear.com

I don't know if you know this site. It's a site where you can upload songs, something like YouTube but with songs. I think maybe it could be cool to start linking songs to this site. I've heard that the administrators of the site pay to the SGAE (the Spanish RIAA) so they can host copyrighted material, so there should be no problem with this. The only problem is that the site is a little chaotic (like YouTube) with songs repeated, artist names with wrong formatting and things like that... so the work has to be done manually. If you like the idea maybe i can change the Template:SongFooter to add Goear.com --Unaiaia (talk) 04:59, 11 December 2006 (EST)

Interesting... how does that work legally since I'm sure the Spanish RIAA doesn't pay any money to non-spanish (ie: non-SGAE-member) artists and there are normal artists on there (I saw Tool right on the main page)?

Is it just one of those deals where they only pay protection-fees to the local gov't and hope that foreign companies don't sue across borders (since it's hard)?

-Sean Colombo 23:04, 11 December 2006 (EST)

They say that the SGAE and the RIAA have agreements, that sounds pretty right to me, since Bars Gyms and other placer where they put music have to pay only to the SGAE but they can put any music, Spanish or American. --Unaiaia (talk) 03:47, 12 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] Response from server

Please have a look here when you have time Remiss 12:45, 14 January 2007 (EST)

I'm also having problems with this. I use the REST api, but AFAIK it applies to SOAP as well. Foreign characters show up wrong and most likely this is due to the chars in mediawiki being UTF-8 and PHP treats them as iso-8859-1 and therefore it's not possible for the clients to display these chars correctly. Look at this page for more information about PHP and UTF-8 [[1]]

Jurp5 08:56, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

I think it's fixed now? This is the URL I used to test the REST version: [2], and it's the same song I used to test the SOAP client. I haven't tested it from too many different platforms... but all appears to be well for now.

Please let me know whether it is working or not for you guys.

Thanks,

-Sean Colombo 14:38, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

There are still problems with Japanese songs: 川田まみ (Mami Kawada):Radiance, Kyu Sakamoto:Sukiyaki. The first gives no results even though the song exists 川田まみ (Mami Kawada):Radiance. The second song, Kyu Sakamoto:Sukiyaki, has ???'s where the kanji would be.

- teknomunk (talk,E) 14:53, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

Thanks for the examples. I've been messing with them for a while and I've got nothing yet. I'll keep poking at it when I get back from an appt. I have to go to.

-Sean Colombo 16:21, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

OKAY! So it appears the problem was that some strings with foreign characters come in with UTF8 and others don't. I messed around with it and yet again I think it's fixed. I used the following test-cases:

Let me know if anything is still messed up please :)

-Sean Colombo 20:51, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

Starting to look good :) But you still have to change the encoding in the response. I haven't checked the headers, but the response from the SOAP server says <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> I tested with a few songs and the actual response from the server seems to be utf-8 characters :D

Remiss 02:53, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

Hmm... To clearify, the characters sendt are UTF-8, but the SOAP api thinks it's still iso-8859-1 and doesn't set header and the xml encoding declaration correctly. Remiss 08:00, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

Hmmm... I looked at nuSOAP and it appears they didn't finish making the functionality to set the UTF8 encoding. Some code was in there but was commented out, and the comments aluded to some bugs from not utf8_encode/decode problems. I don't want to modify their code directly because then the SOAP code wouldn't be very portable. I'll look into newer versions of nuSOAP, but that would probably break a ton of other stuff... :-/ hrmmm. Still working on it...

-Sean Colombo 12:42, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

Hmmmm.. Okay. I know nothing about nuSOAP, but as far as I can see from the response it is sending it should suffice to set header("Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8") and changing the xml declaration to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" > ... If you want to do this and need help testing it you could copy it to a new script, modify it and I could run some tests on it Remiss 12:58, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

Any progress on this? Remiss 10:11, 27 April 2007 (EDT)

Maybe... try using server2.php and see if that fixes it for you. I know that sets the encoding correctly now, but in one of the clients Iwas testing it in, this caused the data to show up as question marks. Let me know if it works for you.

-Sean Colombo 13:17, 27 April 2007 (EDT)

Yup, that works as it should :] Remiss 18:59, 27 April 2007 (EDT)

Cool, I've rolled that out into the main SOAP file now (server.php). If this broke things for anyone other than me, let me know :)

-Sean Colombo 19:30, 27 April 2007 (EDT)

Great, thanks for fixing this issue! :) Remiss 03:18, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] LyricWiki page links in API results

Hi,

Can you add the URL for the album or the songs in the API results? Because I want to link to LyricWiki instead of Amazon. Or maybe both.

I think it's an useful feature, and not a big deal for you to add it, I guess.

Thanks

That's a good idea. I will make this post glow green so that I remember to do it when I get a chance.

-Sean Colombo 21:59, 29 January 2007 (EST)

DONE. The return value 'url' has been added to getSong().

Thanks for the suggestion,

-Sean Colombo 22:19, 2 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Getlyrics Xml

Getlyrics type=Xml doesnt have the XML content-type and encoding send in the headers(use the header function in php)

and add something like <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> (dont let php parse it ;) )

-Jurp5 10:29, 4 February 2007 (AMS)

Cool, I'll add that header stuff. I'm going to be changing it around a little, I'm hoping to make it wrap the entire SOAP so "getLyrics" probably won't even be it's final name. When I can, I'll add a sub-page about it to the SOAP page so that people can use that as an alternative for any of the functions. This should be fairly soon.

-Sean Colombo 12:29, 4 February 2007 (EST)

[edit] api.php

Can you document api.php?

-- Jurp5

212.45.32.219 14:44, 8 March 2007 (EST)

I'll try to get on that as soon as I can... this week is a little insane (aren't they all? welcome to life :)), but it should be quick to doc it so I'll try to get on it.

-Sean Colombo 14:50, 8 March 2007 (EST)

:-/ I'll get on it tonight & won't sleep till it's done. Sorry it took so long (like waaay too long). It'll be at LyricWiki:REST

-Sean Colombo 15:55, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

Alright... a really basic version is up at LyricWiki:REST. The REST version of the API needs to be made into a more complete implementation of the API through the same code-base as the SOAP. The getSong() function works though, and that seems like the bread-n-butter of the SOAP. If you need some other functions soon, let me know and I'll get on that when I can.

G'Nite,

[edit] Wrong responses

when using SOAP/REST for Storm In A Teacup - Red Hot Chili Peppers

I get this as lyrics:

#REDIRECT [[Red Hot Chili Peppers:Storm in a Teacup]]

Jurp5 09:43, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

Interesting... the problem there was that the page was using the wrong capitalization but there was a redirect which pointed to the wrong title, which the SOAP found and then tried to lookup the correctly-formatted-version of (which was the original... recursion!).

I moved the page to the right capitalization and it works now.

-Sean Colombo 03:04, 7 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Typos on pages created by Bots

Hi Sean. I was just looking up Instrumental and accidentally typed it in as Instumental, and at first didn't realise my typo, so I found it odd not to find any Daft Punk songs listed as some of them have Instrumentals (e.g. Aerodynamic, Crescendolls, Nightvision).

Upon closer inspection of my search result, I realised that I myself had a typo. But quite a few pages have appeared in my search, and I have taken the time to correct them. Upon further inspection of its history (so far only two I have inspected), I found that they were created by Bots. And that left me wondering how Bots function/operate since I would really like them to be slightly adjusted for typos (such as Instumental) if that's the case and I believe it would be of great help, too.

-- BryghtShadow 04:09, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

Hi, I checked out some of the pages you edited... and it appears that the original scrape of lyrics (we got the first 200,000 or so from a web-spider) just happened to scrape pages that had that typo in them. Janitor or R2-D2 might be able to help fix this if they run into it. Good catch!

-Sean Colombo 12:56, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

Thanks. That typo mistake also helped me find the next topic: "Sugar Babes / Sugababes?" so at the same time I thank those typos.

Also, another typo (I think it is a typo) is this one (Fall Out Boy:Thanks For The Memories). I've seen both titles, but I'm not sure which one is correct.

And I'm not sure but the other track titles in the same album might also have title typos or the link just shows up wierd (like this one. It says 'Fame < Infamy', but the actual page is 'Fame Less Than Infamy')

-BryghtShadow 06:19, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

According to MusicBrainz[3], the Fall Out Boy song is titled Fall Out Boy:Thnks Fr Th Mmrs. I think that it gets pronounced as "Thanks For The Memories", but the official title is the former.

The second case [[Fall Out Boy:Fame < Infamy|Fame < Infamy]] doesn't work correctly, which is why the title is Fall Out Boy:Fame Less Than Infamy; it is a problem with the MediaWiki software.

- teknomunk (talk,E) 09:45, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

So the proper title is Thanks For The Memories, right (got a little confused on the title order)? Ok. So if that is the official title, then should we move the page? I'm think that we should, but what's your opinion?

For the second case, I now understand perfectly.

-BryghtShadow 14:01, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

I think he means that the official title is the one without vowels ("the former" means the first and "the latter" would be the last, right?), so it should be in the right spot. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thnks,

-Sean Colombo 14:01, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

That is correct Sean, without the vowels. Sorry if I was ambiguous about that.

- teknomunk (talk,E) 14:05, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

Ok, thanks. -BryghtShadow 05:31, 19 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Sugar_Babes:Ovaload, and Sugar_Babes:Overload - 2 versions?

Hi again. This time, I've seen two Sugar Babes lyrics pages with slightly different titles here and here. And in line 37 of Overload there is, what seems to be, an error not found on Ovaload.

I'm wondering, are there actual two different versions of the song? Or is there just one, but two pages were created? (I'm not really sure but I think there was just one song.)

Sorry for all the trouble. -BryghtShadow 05:05, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

No trouble at all! :)

Odd... it appears that Overload is actually a song by Sugababes, see here who are commonly confused with Sugar Babes. Good catch on that one :) We probably should do a mergefrom Sugar Babes to Sugababes

-Sean Colombo 12:47, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

I agree that we should merge it. I was finding it odd because somewhere at the back of my mind, I had a feeling Sugar Babes was spelt Sugababes. So just to clarify, there isn't any artist called Sugar Babes, is there? Oh, wait, there was...

So if there is an artist/band going by the name Sugar Babes, and the spelling of Sugababes gets confused with Sugar Babes, we can't make any redirects, can we? Hmm... I really don't think so, but after checking up Sugar Babes on Wikipedia, I saw only one song, which makes me reconsider that.

-BryghtShadow 01:55, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

I think the redirect is safe since Sugar Babes seemed to be manufactured to make some soundtrack (or something) then flopped out of existence. I doubt think their lyrics will ever surface online. (Couldn't they have just been the Nutrasweet Babes or something to make this easier? ;))

-Sean Colombo 02:29, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

Oh, ok... cool! :) (True. I agree with a quite different name. Nutrasweet Babes... that would have been a great, name had they survived the extinction)

...ok, so now what were we supposed to do with that page? Should we delete or merge? I'll create the redirect when I know what to do.

[edit] Patrolling

I was talking with teknomunk about possibly starting to patrol edits. (I think that the new auto-templates for pages may be mucking up some spammers and creating empty pages.) I seem to recall seeing when I became an admin a way to mark a page as patrolled, but can't seem to see how to patrol anymore. ??? --Kiefer 15:53, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

Cool, that'll be a good idea. Anywho... if there is an exclamation point in the Recent changes then:

For new pages there is a [Mark Article As Patrolled] link at the bottom-right of the page
For modified pages if you click the "(diff)" link from recentchanges it will have "Mark-as-patrolled" on the right hand side in the part of the header that has info about the diff (right below the summary and next to "Next Diff" if there is one).

I'll try to patrol a bit too... the admins are spread across so many time-zones this might actually work out really well :)

Thanks,

-Sean Colombo 15:59, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

Thanks! I knew I had seen those before, but Wikimedia.org was not very helpful! --Kiefer 16:08, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

I also changed my preferences so that my edits are automatically marked as patrolled. --Kiefer 16:11, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Recent Uncap

What's going on with Senses Fail:Nj Falls Into The Atlantic? NJ is the correct capitalization, so why the lowercase j? I thought that we kept the capitalization the same as the original song title whenever possible, except for initial letters always being capped? I's confuse-ed.--Kiefer 13:27, 23 April 2007 (EDT)

Hmm, yeah ~~I'm not sure what I did was the right way to go about it~~ (for my own clickage: LW:PN) I'm sure that what I did was the wrong way to go about it. Right now, if it is "NJ" the SOAP has no way to get to it, because "Nj" redirects to "NJ" which it then parses (trying to match the standards) and gets "Nj" again. I think this just means that the page should be "NJ" but I have to make the SOAP understand that when a redirect points to the same title with different capitalization that it should not re-un-capitalize (worst word ever?) the title.

Good catch,

-Sean Colombo 15:22, 23 April 2007 (EDT)

Okay...I think I got that. :-) If I'm going to be the "Constable of Capitalization," I gotta make sure I'm doing things right! --Kiefer 15:34, 23 April 2007 (EDT)

Okay, now what's up with ABC and Abc? "ABC" is the correct capitalization of the band name (Wiki), but you have it redirecting to "Abc". It should be vice versa (after the Abc songs are moved, of course.) I restored ABC and created the links that were on the Abc page in preparation for moving to take place. --Kiefer 08:20, 5 May 2007 (EDT)

I found out that I had created ABC when Abc already existed. I'll batch move it to the right place now.

Thanks,

-Sean Colombo 15:07, 5 May 2007 (EDT)

Has anyone else noticed the irony of the Lyricwiki:Page names policy? The one page that dictates how we should be naming our pages doesn't even follow the convention itself? :-) --Jeff (talk,contrib,E) 08:48, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

Hey, you've got to have the exception that proves the rule, right? ;-] ----Kiefer <img src="/images/5/58/KieferE.jpg" alt="Esperanza" /> <img src="/images/f/f9/KieferTalk.jpg" alt="Talk!" /> 09:25, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

HAHAHAHA! That's hilarious, I never caught that. I'm going to quietly move that now... shhhhh ( -_-).

[edit] Spam and Modifying $wgSpamRegex

Recently, we have been getting a lot of spam from a new spambot designed to target MediaWiki software. It is being used aggressively and has spammed at least 50 pages, possibly more. When I wrote this, I still had pages to fix.

Would you please email me the contents of the $wgSpamRegex so that I can do some testing to get this bot blocked? I would greatly appreciate this.

- teknomunk (talk,E) 22:21, 29 April 2007 (EDT)

N00bz... sometimes I wish I had the time to make a hobby of pwning spammers.
Here is the spam regex as it was today:

$wgSpamRegex = "/".
	"online-casino|buy-viagra|adipex|phentermine|adult-website\.com|".
	"display:none|[Uu][Rr][Ll]=|overflow:\s*auto;\s*height:\s*[0-4]px;|^\s*[0-9]{7}[0-9]*\s*$/i".
	"s-e-x|zoofilia|sexyongpin|grusskarte|geburtstagskarten|animalsex|".
	"sex-with|dogsex|adultchat|adultlive|camsex|sexcam|livesex|sexchat|".
	"chatsex|onlinesex|adultporn|adultvideo|adultweb.|hardcoresex|hardcoreporn|".
	"teenporn|xxxporn|lesbiansex|livegirl|livenude|livesex|livevideo|camgirl|".
	"spycam|voyeursex|casino-online|online-casino|kontaktlinsen|cheapest-phone|".
	"laser-eye|eye-laser|fuelcellmarket|lasikclinic|cragrats|parishilton|".
	"paris-hilton|paris-tape|2large|fuel-dispenser|fueling-dispenser|huojia|".
	"jinxinghj|telematicsone|telematiksone|a-mortgage|diamondabrasives|".
	"reuterbrook|sex-plugin|sex-zone|lazy-stars|eblja|liuhecai|";

A little bit ago some spammers pwned our Send To A Friend form (my bad... totally embarassing), so I got a huge dataset of spam from the bounces. I made a script to re-send the bounced legit messages and in the process I had to filter out the spammy ones so I have some better Regexes around... I'll add some of that in with:

	"nexium|cialis|viagra|lipitor|laptop batteries|hydrocodone|doctorad|phentermine|tramadol|".
	"carisoprodol|ambien|v iagra|xanax|celebrex|valium|activam|lorazepam|".
	"(Human[ \.\s\n]*growth[ \.\s\n]*hormo|\sHGH\s|H[^a-z0-9]G[^a-z0-9]H|G r o w t h)";

PS: I heard we got on Digg today.

We also got onto LifeHacker today as well. No wonder the server came to a crawl about 2-3 hours ago. ^_^

$wgSpamRegexLines[] = 'display\s*:\s*none';
$wgSpamRegexLines[] = 'overflow:\s*\s*auto';
$wgSpamRegexLines[] = '\[url=';
$wgSpamRegexLines[] = '\]\s*\[http:\/\/.*\]\s*\[http:\/\/.*\]\s*\[http:\/\/.*\]\s*\[';
$wgSpamRegexLines[] = '\<a.*href=\"';

$wgSpamRegexWords = "online-casino|buy-viagra|adipex|phentermine|adult-website\.com|".
	"s-e-x|zoofilia|sexyongpin|grusskarte|geburtstagskarten|animalsex|".
	"sex-with|dogsex|adultchat|adultlive|camsex|sexcam|livesex|sexchat|".
	"chatsex|onlinesex|adultporn|adultvideo|adultweb.|hardcoresex|hardcoreporn|".
	"teenporn|xxxporn|lesbiansex|livegirl|livenude|livesex|livevideo|camgirl|".
	"spycam|voyeursex|casino-online|online-casino|kontaktlinsen|cheapest-phone|".
	"laser-eye|eye-laser|fuelcellmarket|lasikclinic|cragrats|parishilton|".
	"paris-hilton|paris-tape|2large|fuel-dispenser|fueling-dispenser|huojia|".
	"jinxinghj|telematicsone|telematiksone|a-mortgage|diamondabrasives|".
	"reuterbrook|sex-plugin|sex-zone|lazy-stars|eblja|liuhecai";

$wgSpamRegex = '/(' . implode( '|', $wgSpamRegexLines ) .'|'.$wgSpamRegexWords . ')/i';

This should work even without the Word matches, as it is basically all spammers include links in their payload.

By the way, the fact that this can be put on the site means that the regex is not working at all :(

- teknomunk (talk,E) 01:15, 30 April 2007 (EDT)

phentermine... viagra... c'mon block me :(

Drat... Trying again...

-Sean Colombo 01:39, 30 April 2007 (EDT)

The block of code exactly as provided works on my local install correctly, I wonder why it doesn't work here? I know that when I was working on the update, commenting out the line with display:none made it work.

The main target of the regex I wrote is to block links, which has been in basically every single spam post made on this site. So [url=www.lyricwiki.org] should trigger the spam blocker.

- teknomunk (talk,E) 01:53, 30 April 2007 (EDT)

Cool, it blocked me a bunch now that I used your code instead of mine. I had to turn it off to post this though... gonna turn it back on now...

Thanks for the help!

-Sean Colombo 02:07, 30 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Spam Regex

Thanks for getting the spam regex updated, it looks like it is working rather well. When I woke up this morning, there were over 400 edits and not a single spam post made it through.

- teknomunk (talk,E) 08:34, 30 April 2007 (EDT)

There is already some problems with the regex. Some terms, like common drugs, are used in lyrics and song titles (see User talk:Nespithe) and should not be in the regex. I also sent you an email about another issue. In any case, the current state of things is better than it was.

I'll let you know as issues show up.

- teknomunk (talk,E) 14:10, 30 April 2007 (EDT)

Glad the regex is working pretty well... I just took out the word refered to in that other page and another couple that I could think of that I know are in a lot of song lyrics.

Thanks for staying on top of this :)

-Sean Colombo 00:31, 1 May 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Going a way for a while... :(

I just finished the semister of college and I will be away from the high-speed internet that the college has and may not be able to access for a while. If anything important comes up, leave a note on my userpage like normal and I will get around to it.

Someone (or somebot) will need to update the Album of the Week while I am gone. I will be back full force this fall when I go back to school.

- teknomunk (talk,E) 18:38, 4 May 2007 (EDT)

Well I won't actually be gone until tomorrow morning, so if you have anything that needs to be done before then, let me know.

- teknomunk (talk,E) 18:56, 4 May 2007 (EDT)

[edit] GFDL Notice Recommendation

To compliment the disclaimer page, I think having the GFDL license icon in the bottom bar would help users easily identify how the site is licensed. Additionally the plate should/could link to the disclaimer page section containing information GFDL in regards to LyricWiki. It would attract more users (we don't want to have to read, just show us that LyricWiki isn't "stealing" our work). --70.89.126.81 18:55, 9 May 2007 (EDT)

We actually don't use GFDL. Although it is meant to make things free it often does quite the opposite. The main thing we had against using it here is that it requires the GFDL and all of the basic static-pages (like our licensing, about pages, etc.) be distributed any time any part of the site is. That cramps the freedom of the info. I think this is the same concern that wikitravel had (but I can't find their article about it).

I'm not sure what you meant by steal... but we're not sealing up the data from other people if that's what you were afraid of. However, we do quite the opposite and distribute it freely and rampantly (even through a lyrics API) - so please be aware that that will happen to any submissions.

Thanks for your contributions,

-Sean Colombo 20:24, 9 May 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Spam Filter Blocking Album Creation

Boxarocks asked my on my talk page about a Melvins album that he is trying to create. (the one from 2002.) Unfortunately, it contains within one of its words, a spam-blocked word. Can this be fixed? Thanks!

Oh, and I tried to add this with a page-wide edit and it was blocked because of a couple of your test terms. Grrrrrr. Those spammers are still harshing my calm! ----Kiefer <img src="/images/5/58/KieferE.jpg" alt="Esperanza" /> <img src="/images/f/f9/KieferTalk.jpg" alt="Talk!" /> 00:20, 10 May 2007 (EDT)

Hrm... I tried to make it so that the spam regEx wouldn't be applied to admins so that we could fix these things more quickly, but it appears there is no way to tell by LocalSettings.php whether you are logged in yet or are an admin, etc. I'll look into it more in a bit.

-Sean Colombo 07:54, 10 May 2007 (EDT)

You may try adding &&!$wgUser->isAllowed('block') to this line in EditPage.php:

if ( $wgSpamRegex && preg_match( $wgSpamRegex, $this->textbox1, $matches ) ) {

This should skip the spam check for all admins.

- teknomunk (talk,E) 00:32, 12 May 2007 (EDT)

By the way, you may want to archive the current page, it is getting rather long.

[edit] The Esperanza Newsletter

Why is it that every time I try to deliver the Esperanza newsletter to you, a spam filter keeps blocking it? There is no harmful content in the newsletter. If you can't fix the problem, then read the Newsletter in LyricWiki:Esperanza/Newsletter. -Sean gorter- 21:39, 12 May 2007 (EDT)
