Hi everyone,  
I made a mistake on my artist profile. I accidentally renamed the artist Philippe A. Deschamps to Philippe Deschamps (French Ambient Artist).  
My intention was to keep them as two separate entities:

- Philippe Deschamps: My main project (Ambient).
- Philippe A. Deschamps: My specific moniker for piano solo works.

I tried to cancel the edit, but I’m stuck in the ‘Open’ status and the profiles are currently confused. Could an auto-editor please help me reject the wrong rename or apply the correction?  
Link to the artist: [Philippe A. Deschamps - MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/artist/76380fa5-ecb9-4eb3-9723-39aeddd893f4)  
Link to the pending edit:

> **[Edit #145168934 - MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/edit/145168934)**

> **[Edit #145168920 - MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/edit/145168920)**

I have now added a disambiguation: “piano solo moniker of Philippe Deschamps” to make the distinction clearer for the future.  
Thanks a lot for your help! Philippe"
