IMHO, timings should always be taken from the exact release, please leave the durations blank if you don’t know them. And this concerns any medium really, not just vinyl.

Alright, here’s a separate edit that flat removes the track durations. Edit #108384926 - MusicBrainz Let’s see which one wins 
(I’d still like input on what you all think on displaying implied track durations on durationless releases, best over here Track durations for vinyl releases - #2 by IvanDobsky)

Hi,
What’s the official policy of MB, do we remove tittles such as “Rabbi” from a Artist name?
I cleaned up a bad recording merge on Elvis, but the performance relationships are still merged together if anyone wants to take a look at correcting them.
Bad merge / mixed recording: https://musicbrainz.org/recording/6b301af7-950e-4c2d-a016-64d9e52aa208
New correct target for “Just Because”: Recording “Just Because” by Elvis Presley - MusicBrainz
In general it’s all based on credits - if a performer doesn’t include their title on album credits, then it shouldn’t be part of their entry name. Unfortunately I can’t read Hebrew (I could ask my wife, but she’s a bit rusty 
) so I can’t say for certain what’s on that cassette.
Maybe add an alias with Rabbi or work it into the disambiguation?

Context: on the thread I have found a very weird series it was decided to remove all those off-topic artist series such as “death by…”, “arrested for…”, “studied at…”, etc. which indeed have been already successfully removed by other editors; comprehensibly only original creator is/was downvoting them.

Need some votes to clean up an artist credit.

I am confused by these Remove edits.
First - various CDs that appears in film box sets. Sometimes a deluxe boxset of a film is released that includes a music CD of the score. Surely these are MusicBrainz allowed?
A common thing that happened in the UK past was a newspaper would release a two or three disc album over a number of issues. A case would be supplied so you could house these all as one item on your shelf. Are these one or two releases? I am especially confused by the first of these two removals as it destroys the only record there is on a volume one. And the second would have made more sense as a merge?

Maybe the DVD-only releases should be removed (I don’t know) but @wcw1966 should at least be given the heads up that @Antiguastrea is removing their releases.

wcw1966 has likely stopped contributions due to ill health (edit: linked note where this is noted)
I have bought this up to no avail here: DVD Video content that isn't explicitly related to music (including stand-up comedy, feature films, television etc.)
These are more of these “fringe releases” where we need to have a proper debate about what we do and don’t want as a community before someone maverick’s this

I would like to ask for votes of this edit, as it is the start to fixing a bad merge.

Thanks
Me and another editor made edits for a new release.
Open to votes for or against, just want more of a consensus. Trying to rename track Little Things (Nia Archives remix) based on how it’s listed on Bleep, Qobuz, Deezer, Apple, etc, but another editor says it’s redundant to have (Nia Archives remix) in the title.
Discussion is here: Edit #108881232 - MusicBrainz
Full list of edits: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/d62614aa-ef2c-44cd-8a7b-91292755a1d0/open_edits
I had a feeling these edits were going to cause controversy. I don’t have a strong opinion, but trying to get them consistent and follow style guide:
Release groups merge: Edit #108977292 - MusicBrainz
Related change to track artists: Edit #108978730 - MusicBrainz
Edit to release title based on artwork: Edit #108977912 - MusicBrainz
There are a few more follow-up edits needed, but I figure these should be sorted out first.

No open edits yet, but it’s not a simple merge, and only one (possible inactive) subscriber, so gauging thoughts:
Half the Peter Cook & Dudley Moore/Pete & Dud releases are credited to the group, the other half are credited to the two artists.
Thoughts on what way to merge? e.g. split all the credits to both artists, or merge them all into the Pete & Dud group.
Sticking with the groups makes it easier to add the Wikidata\pedia descriptions to the groups as we know them. So much of the output was as them as the group. Seems natural to keep them like that.
Separated to individuals makes it easier to find everything Peter Cook did in one place. But is there not a plan to expand the website GUI to allow this anyway?
In my own collection, Pete and Dud are in a Pete and Dud folder.
