Requests for Votes Thread

I would like votes for my edit https://musicbrainz.org/edit/55589671

It is about adding the artist credits to tracks from the booklet. One editor says that in MB we only use back cover for artist credits. I disagree. I think if the booklet has more detailed information than the back cover, we should use it. CD back cover is very limited in space, so it often lacks detail.
Style guidelines for Theatre releases say: “Track Artist Credits should be as listed on the release.”

I would really appreciate your opinions on this one. So please vote!

In these edits the discussion is stuck around capitalization of words starting with an apostrophe and some fresh perspectives would surely help.

Due to a bug, one of my multi‐part works has one part ordered and the rest unordered and I cannot remove orders.
So I’m unlinking the only ordered part to be able to re‐add it unordered, as the other parts: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/55682473 ← I have to wait for this to apply to be able to end the fix and forget it, do something else…
Thank you in advance. :slight_smile:

A while back I was told promotional photographs and images were not to be added to the Cover Art Archive, primarily because they’re not cover art.
An auto-editor recently added a slough of these images to a release (so there was no chance one of us could vote them down). I called him out on this, all the while entering edits to remove those images he uploaded that are not cover art and cannot reasonably be considered cover art, yet that same editor hit me with a barrage of No votes, claiming that they “weren’t hurting anything.”

Edit #56146932 is adding a duplicate of this RG.
I’m not the only one who already explained to the editor how to add a new release into an existing release group without any response. Could someone please try it in French? Thanks.
I’m merging the RGs in Edit #56147068.

I mistakenly grabbed the wrong artist “B. Emerson” and it should have been “Bill Emerson”. The “B. Emerson” artist is being merged into “Wild Bill Emerson” in 3-4 days which would cause this edit to fail and be on the wrong artist.

Hi all,

Can someone have a look at those 3 edits :

https://musicbrainz.org/edit/56248601
https://musicbrainz.org/edit/56248786
https://musicbrainz.org/edit/56248788

I had to fix the releasegroup, album name and tracklist as it was… Let say “not correct” ^^

Thanks!

moved to Should we follow the guidelines if we don't agree with them?

Please don’t link to edits that you disagree with here, esp. without any discussion (here) of why.

Rather make a new post where you argue your case which can maybe/hopefully leave to a discussion of the guideline.

It is fairly self explanatory in the edit summary.
undid my own recent edits.
pictures of John Sherrill look like two different people. and at least one of them is now in South Carolina.
But they both started in Texas, are in the same genre, play the same instruments, and numerous sites have their discographies combined.
If they end up being the same person, i will redo the edits. But for right now, it is better to not include the questionable information.

I’d just like the edits cleared out so that I can start fresh.

I need some help with https://musicbrainz.org/release/9a12cec2-dbc7-4ac6-85dd-ab708db66cd5

My annotations on this release explain the problem and I don’t have the skills to fix it. If someone can fix it most of my annotations become redundant. Just leave the bit that starts ‘Packaging is…’.

Thanks in anticipation.

I’m changing the band’s sort name from ‘La Luz’ to ‘Luz, La’. Seems pretty obvious, but maybe I didn’t notice something. Anyone opposed?

I would like to remove these two artists from the band so that I can split the band into separate artists

Maybe I am missing something, but it seems this edit https://musicbrainz.org/edit/57074420 is one of several changing CSG correct Recording Artist Credit (performer) to incorrect (composer). Editor has neither cancelled edits nor answered my last note, with 2 days left pending.

I added a release with tracks 6&7 reversed then added the discid. When I found my mistake I have to remove discid before I can reorder the 2 tracks.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just swap the names and recordings?

Do you mean rename track6 to track7 and 7 to 6 (and recordings )? That could be easier and take less time. My only thought is that there are 2 sets of MBID’s that are going to swap there names with each other, is that the correct way to do it?

I mean rename the tracks and switch the connections to the recordings. That way the names and the MBIDs of the recordings remain the same.
