Re: [Banshee-List] Wikipedia plugin

["Jeremy Slater" <jasl8r gmail com>]

Not sure if this is a good suggestion or not, but what if you first try to go to the band specific page with the attached "_(band)" in the url which exists when disambiguation is needed.  Then if that page "does not have an article" or whatnot you can go to the page without the attached "_(band)" in the url.  I don't know if that would be more accurate than google or not.

Excellent!  This is what OSS is all about :)

Patches are more than just welcome - they're encouraged.  If you've got
a better way of
doing this, don't hesitate to contribute :)

I haven't changed it much since 0.0.1, other than I've been
experimenting with using
google searches of wikipedia to better find the right pages - for
instance, when I
play a song by Kansas, I get info about the state.  Searching google
for 'kansas band'
returns only results with both words in it, and I use the auto-redirect
to push it to
wikipedia.  It seems to return better results (about 95% of the time I
get the correct
page, versus right now probably only 75%).  Aside that, patch away my friend!

I will be putting this in the banshee SVN or my personal SVN (which I'm
setting up this
weekend) and we can work together better :)

I look forward to it!
