Issue 1272: Minor title correction and extra information

New issue submitted

Assigned changed to »castle_ghost« (previously »None«)

Dear Murrough,

thanks a lot for adopting and feedback.

I cross-checked with my copy and added the “The”.

Since the editor originally adding the entry did not set the pagenumbering flag, I have added order numbers instead of page number, i.e. 1 for the dance and 1,2,3 for the tunes. I thing the majority of publications in SCDDB has been entered with order instead of page numbering. Using the age number for the dance seems not the best way, since the descriptions including all 57 varieties reach up to the 2nd last page in this 1-dance publication.

Ad Formations: I agree that it might not be sensible to attempt to list all formations including all 57 varieties. It is not the typical dance you would choose for class from a Formation search ;)

I agree and re-set the TLC level.

Furthermore, I have checked the dance entry itself and added slip-step, because at least Second Set, Second Figure contains these as well. And I added some Extra Info to the dance. Please have a look.

Finally, I have set the Status to “Tunes: verified and complete” - I left Steps and Formations at “possibly incomplete” because for the former some Reel-of-Tulloch-like steps have been suggested and possibly other Highland like steps elsewhere.

Best, Heiko

Dear Heiko, Thanks. You are much more thorough than me!

I am happy with numbering by order rather than by page, but I think it was the other way when I previously adopted The Kangaroo Paw (http://my.strathspey.org/dd/publication/1009/).

I like your extra information. Though I suspect Hugh Foss might have been hoping it could be more common than a demonstration dance. I have tried it with a reasonably expert group and think the “6 yards apart” instruction is quite large. The group doing the video look like they are a bit closer than that.

The video comment has a link to an online source of the instructions (http://www.scottish-country-dancing-dictionary.com/dance-crib/celtic-brooch.html) which I just noticed is not currently entered for the dance. Would you like to add that? I guess a link to a MaxiCrib is OK even if wholesale incorporation of them is not?

By the way, is it just me or is it a known common problem that despite always clicking the “keep me informed” check box, actually I never get emails these days? Im sure it worked in the past but has not for many months at least. These days when I submit an issue I check the issue page manually a day or so afterwards. Cheers, Murrough.

This is OT for the issue system but in order to make Murrough see this, here goes:

Murrough, the reason you’re not seeing copies of action notes is that, for whatever reason, your mail server does not accept e-mail from my mail server. Here’s a typical error message:

strathspey@landon.org.uk: host mx.landon.org.uk.cust.a.hostedemail.com[216.40.42.4] said: 571 5.7.1 Message contains spam or virus or sender is blocked : name84_84edd04c9f80d (in reply to end of DATA command)

It does not condescend to explain exactly what it thinks is wrong with the message and I have frankly no time to engage in guessing games or protracted argument with foreign e-mail administrators. I regularly check that my mail server is not on any of the 50+ leading e-mail blacklists and it is invariably in the clear. It is also obvious that the issue updates are not spam, nor being plain text, do they contain viruses, so what your e-mail provider finds objectionable in them is a mystery to me. Maybe you can set them straight; they might listen to you because you’re their customer, they certainly have no reason to listen to me because I’m not.

To add insult to injury, e-mail to the postmaster@landon.org.uk address is also refused, which is a violation of RFC 5321, section 4.5.1. Not a good sign.

Hi Heiko, hi Murrough, is there still anything unclear regarding this issue or can we close it?

Disposition changed to »Fixed« (previously »New«)

I think its fine to close this.

I also agree with closing!
