I don’t know the band but I’ve had a look at these edits. Seems like the band is known under multiple names and these new editors either don’t know our guidelines or actively ignore them. I’ve left a bunch of edit notes and No votes on unexplained destructive edits.
Because of the unusual edit activity, I guess these are vandals, the same is also happening on Wikipedia and on Discogs.
Maybe someone who’s already edited these artists could help here, other than these beginner edits which never have an edit note, I’ve seen edits by @ibitsu, @thedeadinme and @drsaunde.
Could we please get some more pairs of eyes to vote down and report this set of sockpuppets who are keen to hijack artists (and vote on each other’s edits)?
I accidentally added a bunch of performer credits to the wrong Richard Thompson release. If someone could approve the removals rather than leaving them out there for a week, I would feel slightly less embarrassed.
I’ve done a bit of clean-up on my own artist page, moving several releases to a new artist page. if I could get several edits approved, that’d be lovely~
Would it be possible to get some votes on Edit #87511559 - MusicBrainz please?
As the edit notes indicate, the release is an instrumental album, and was created using recycled recordings for the vocal versions of those songs on other releases.
Also, I have a few open edits that I’d love to get closed where an artist with two performace aliases was credited incorrectly with one alias, and had the “credited as” field set to the appearance of the other alias. If I could get some approvals for these that’d be fantastic, as I could then get all my music for this group tagged this weekend and be done with their business.

There are two sources with slightly different claims. The booklet of the CD release of says Tom McKenney worked as “Engineer”, the digital music store that sells the MP3 release says he worked as “Recording Engineer”.
Is there a guideline how to weigh sources against each other and or if the more specific “recoding engineer” should be used if there’s a source for that?
Copy \ paste error means I ended up with an Edit note in the disambig. Can someone bump this edit through to clear away my daftness. Thank you https://musicbrainz.org/edit/87846514
