No way! A QUADRUPLE dupe??? This deserves its own separate post.

all done.

I must say I'm really glad you joined this game, Fergy. I can't keep up with Ebby lately. I'm only quickly browsing the forum the last few weeks. Always other stuff to do....... So thanks for doing all the clicking!

Fergenaprido · #3564

Haha, you're welcome. Sometimes I feel I can't keep up with Ebby either, but I try to do at least one batch each day. I've also come to expect his rhythm of posting now. His next one should come in about an hour.

joachimt · #3565

He's late.

Ebbywebby · #3566

"Game"? It sure would be nice not to feel like I'm being "indulged," and that the huge difference I've made to the ICM database is appreciated.

Don't get us wrong. It's really appreciated!

I'll talk to Marijn if it's possible to open up this little button to you alone without having other mod-rights.

joachimt · #3569

All above are done.

PS Today, I made my 1000th data submission to IMDb. Woo hoo. Most of them were runtimes, but there were also 120+ new film entries. And some English titles for foreign films, some spelling corrections, a few directors, etc. I must have earned some cred with IMDb, because my changes get accepted very, very quickly now. I don't even check to verify that my runtimes are accepted anymore, because they always are.

Just talked to Marijn. Turning it on for you alone would give you all moderator rights, so that's not going to happen. But we decided to turn the option on for every user. When he built the feature to update info, he didn't want to give it to all users because it's rather demanding on the database. But I got the feeling that nowadays 99.9% of info updates are coming from you (because you leave nothing left for others to bump into

), so we don't expect it to be a problem. When too many update-requests are made, the queue could get too long and things can get stuck, but I doubt that's going to happen.

He said he'll try to turn this on this evening (Dutch time).

But I got the feeling that nowadays 99.9% of info updates are coming from you (because you leave nothing left for others to bump into )

I've long had a fantasy that each user would strive to make his/her own lists and checking history "complete." That they would get their own runtimes, AKAs, genres, directors, whatever filled in as needed. Thus, all data naturally would be complete for any film that "matters" and draws checks. Then I would be content to sink into the background, stop my broad assault on the database and just tinker here and there with my own ongoing checks. But I don't think this will ever happen. However, if everyone gains the ability to make updates, at least SOME people will make such changes.... And I leave almost all television shows and episodes untouched, so other people who care could fill that void.

joachimt · #3576

Above are done.

Ebbywebby · #3577

Well, given the above, I guess I should skip submitting another set and just wait for the function to get turned on. Maybe there will be an announcement thread about the new "Ebby Amendment" or the like, and people will start using my handle as a verb. "Oh, is the director missing on that film? You should just Ebby it."

Really, it's kinda amazing that I haven't been granted limited mod rights (if that's possible) to do this stuff after how many thousand submissions, so I don't have to burden you. And now I feel like a little boy quietly sitting at the dinner table while the adults patronizingly chuckle about him.

I do indeed appreciate the work that you're doing, and I'm constantly amazed at how much you've found and fixed. You're not a burden at all; doing these kinds of updates was something I willingly agreed to when I became a mod, and I don't mind (granted, I don't think you had this big of a backlog back then

), and I love it when things are accurate and updated on icm; I do a lot of updates myself as well, which I don't post here. I was surprised to find a film I'd checked in the last batch I did for you (Allison's short), as I thought I'd fixed all of the runtimes for the films I'd seen.

We should rename that button to "Doing an Ebby" or something like it.

It didn't have a runtime on IMDb until I added it, so....

"Ebbify This"

Ebbywebby · #3581

Woo! I see the Ebby button now!

Ebbywebby · #3582

Well, there will be more, but I already exhausted my entire backlog (I think it was between 350 and 400 items).

It took about 40 minutes.

Ebbywebby · #3583

A bit surprising to go to my ICM page and find about 300 automated "Movie Updated" messages from the site...perhaps that feature should be turned off, if many people will be doing their own updates now.

You can turn that off in your settings.

joachimt · #3585

I came here to notify people that the Ebbify-button is working for everyone now and ask people to check if it's working, but I see it does. Glad to hear so!

So from now on you don't need to post update-info requests in this thread. Go to the beta-page of a movie. Hit the button with three dots and there you see the update-info button. After hitting that, you can refresh the page to check if everything went through as you expected (normally it takes only 2 seconds or so).

If something doesn't work like you expect, feel free to post here to ask for help.

Ebbywebby · #3586

How do you fix dupes? Just update both pages or what?

There's a separate button for that. You can still post those here.

Honestly, I think this deserves a separate announcement thread? It seems apparent that very few users read this thread.

joachimt · #3590

Maybe you're right. I'll make another thread for this.

I still can't fix the no-imdb-pages as well.

I should collect all the links you posted since PA made his last post here about the list he kept.

Ah, I didn't realize until now that the two IMDb URLs aren't QUITE the same. One is tt02095764 and the other is tt2095764. Strange. Clearly, the one with the extra zero is the outcast.

No worries. I also didn't notice it the first time I tried to fix this on the other forum; I was very baffled. Joachim pointed it out to me.
