Misleading artist name The Last Artful, Dodgr has resulted in separate entities, whereas (at least in case of this album) it’s just one person with a comma in her artistic alias

Hello you loverly AEs. I made a typo when adding an Disambiguation. Tried to correct my error seconds later - and now it is stuck in the seven day queue.
Can someone kick this through please?
My error (which was auto-accepted): https://musicbrainz.org/edit/62448649
My correction (stuck in the queue): https://musicbrainz.org/edit/62448660
It should be “Made by ARC”
Thanks @chaban

Minor thing, but easy to miss. The label on their Bandcamp used the Greek capital letter omicron ‘Ο’ instead of Latin capital letter o ‘O’. I’ve made the necessary correction.
There is absolutely no way it was supposed to be the Greek letter, since the titular Oko is a member of Yoruban spirits/deities, Òrìṣàs.
Please vote through my sub-event edits on
so, on the off-chance people actually use the listing to plan their attendance, they actually have the correct info.
It looks like an editor made a mistake and is about to vote down a couple good edits.
They didn’t change their votes yet but are still active.

By looking at the voter’s editing history, they made some questionable edits, such as https://musicbrainz.org/edit/62629573 and https://musicbrainz.org/edit/62629240…

This isn’t unusual. Older users forget how complex this site is for new editors. And finding the rules even harder. Seeing the edit notes can take a long time for many new users. It is a reason why I have often tried to suggest that there needs to be a small “welcome” team who helps the noobies.
The edits pointed out there are fairly sane to a non-MB user. Not many people use those apostrophe’s outside of here. And the Capitalisation rules can take a bit of getting used to as they are not natural.
There needs to be a better way of lifting these kinds of edits into a training channel to better assist people who are often accidentally making lots of mistakes like this. Something that can slow their edits more. Or flash them up properly to an AE who has time to look. I’ve often tried to step in and assist, but usually get no where. So just have to fix their mistakes another time and hope they see the corrections one day.

i agree with IvanDobsky that there needs to be a small “welcome” team who helps the noobies. i found it is a steep learning curve when i started and im pretty tec savvy it would be even harder for those that are not tec savvy

I think it was 6 months before I realized I didn’t have to check “make votes editable” to receive votes on an edit :-). I did it on every edit. I’m glad I did though, because I got a lot of good feedback and learning from it.

Me too. I have to admit that I felt a bit dumb when @Freso (I think it was) asked me why I was asking for votes on stuff that should have been auto-edits.

Isn’t that back to front? Surely it should be “Make Edits Voteable”?

@tigerman325’s words, not mine. The actual wording is “Make all edits votable.” Even so, it’s pretty clear what @tigerman325 meant.
Thankfully allvotes are editable. If we all had to stick with our original opinions/votes that would be bad.

Yeah. I was paraphrasing and got it backwards :-). But my point was understood I hope. I guess at first I thought all edits had to be voted on the be accepted. Not sure why.

It’s been 48 hours since I responded to someone voting against 2 edits who hasn’t gotten back to me:

Background:
The label Pioneer LDC was renamed and rebranded into “Geneon” in the year 2003. In other words, the Geneon imprint did not exist in the years 2000-2001. You can check the cover art for those releases to deduce that they are rebranded reprints.
Six hours to reply isn’t that long. They may just be on a different part of the planet to you and currently asleep. Or away from the computer enjoying the RealWorld™. Give them 24 hours at least before worrying. @CyberSkull is one of the good guys.
I get people ignoring me for a whole week. Some people just refuse to read edit notes.
In this case you NOP will override their edits so all it well.
(This forum is total rubbish at dealing with a VPN as I have had two post get stuck in “saving…” One of those was long and annoying to loose)

Where did you get “Six hours” from? As I said, it’s been 48+ hours. You can verify this by checking the timestamps.
The votes don’t extend the voting period, so if it were you, how close to the voting expiration period would you wait before reaching out for input from other editors? (Unless you would only wait 24 hours, in which case I waited double that…)
These are simple, non‐destructive edits. If they’re contested, it’s fine to have them not pass at first until the situation has been sorted out and y’all are in agreement with the proper way forward. It’s also fine to post it here to get more eyeballs on it, but do not shame editors for not replying within a couple of days. They’re volunteers, just the same as you, and we have no claim for more of their time than they feel like putting in themselves. (And this editor is already putting in a fair amount of time!)
