Author names stored incorrectly #36
Comments
Thanks for letting us know about this. |
I don't think there is anything wrong with the code, there is just a lot of inconsistency with the data that someone will have to go back and correct. I believe Marcia's new UI will help to fix this going forward. |
Would be nice if the field stored and encouraged you to use existing values. |
Thanks Tom & Ben. Yes this is the case. I added the author_names field just as a quick and simple fix to add the Google+ author links, and didn't make the input fancy (the data type is simply an array of strings) since Marcia was going to overhaul the content editing tool. We can retroactively fix some of this data inconsistency through backfills later. |
aloha @petercollingridge! if you'd like to send me those 7 cases, i'll update them to be consistent. the new-ish (and still being iterated upon) interface for editing videos/exercises will prevent these author name inconsistencies in the future. https://s3.amazonaws.com/uploads.hipchat.com/6574/17223/utgk2kki7s66nmv/upload.png thanks for all that you do! |
What information do you need? I'm calling: /api/v1/playlists/library/list The titles of the videos are: Thanks for that. I really wasn't a big problem, I just noticed they were inconsistent. The new interface looks very nice. Peter |
Hi Marcia, I happened to be logged in to devshell. The full list is 36 items long: Video(readable_id=u'increasing-ventricular-contractility---inotropic-effect', Video(readable_id=u'adding-a-coach-and-creating-class-lists-on-khan-academy', Video(readable_id=u'creating-khan-academy-accounts-for-users-under-age-13', Video(readable_id=u'institutional-critique--hans-haacke-s-seurat-s--les-poseuses---small-version---1884-1975--1975', Video(readable_id=u'giorgione--the-adoration-of-the-shepherds--1505-10', Video(readable_id=u'pair-of-centaurs-fighting-cats-of-prey-from-hadrian-s-villa--c--130-b-c-e-1', Video(readable_id=u'exekias--attic-black-figure-amphora-with-ajax-and-achilles-playing-a-game', Video(readable_id=u'ara-pacis-augustae--altar-of-augustan-peace---13-9-b-c-e---rome', On Mon, Nov 5, 2012 at 1:23 PM, Marcia Lee notifications@github.com wrote:

Just curious - the genetics 101 videos (e.g http://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/heredity-and-genetics/v/genetics-101-part-1--what-are-genes) have Sal as the author and yet they are not narrated by him. Should there be another author for them? |
@petercollingridge That's definitely a mistake. I've removed Sal as a listed author, so currently there isn't anyone listed. |
The value for the key 'authors' in video objects is generally a list of strings of individual names, however there are 7 cases in which there is a single string "Beth Harris,Steven Zucker", as opposed to two strings.
Rishi is sometimes referred to "Rishi" and sometimes "Rishi Desai".
Karl Wendt is sometimes stored with a space after his name, sometimes not.
