I started added this year’s 30 Days of Dead, where Grateful Dead releases a song a day for the rest of the month.
I created the release with the first song, then added the second song the next day. When I went to add the third song today, it’s forcing a vote. It didn’t do that for the second song.
Without getting into the background of the artist/editor - I am trying to merge 2 pages.
The person voted no, as you can see. Yet, at the same time, he admitted they are the same person.
Your edit needs more details. I agree with the “don’t get into the background of the editor” idea, but your edit notes sound a lot like that.
Reading the edit comments, it sounds like “Rodrigo Barbosy” is a singer who uses “Honicli” as a stage name, and they think it should be a different artist entry, and they are hampered by a lack of skill at musicbrainz edits and poor English skills.
If someone wants to do something legitimate on Musicbrainz, but is making mistakes doing it, I think we should be trying to help them, not fight them.
If that is not the case, a better explanation of why their goal is not legitimate is in order.
Also, consider that this (creating the second artist entry) may be one legitimate edit amidst a batch of bad edits (deleting links/information they want to hide?)
I’m working with a new Label called “Bay Street Records” as their artist “Otto” It’s owned by Dave Stewart (Eurythmics, Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks). There are going to be releases from smaller artists like myself and larger including Joss Stone and was curious if there were any auto editor’s available to help out with any releases and getting the back end with this fantastic database all in check. We’ve already achieved BBC Radio 1 play and as this is the go to database/community it would be great for it all to line up.
The original version of this album was wildly incorrect: One CD instead of 8, track titles were translations from somewhere instead of the original Japanese versions, and one of the tracks was completely missing. Votes on the medium add/removals would be appreciated and maybe the recording merges too, but those aren’t that important at the moment.
EDIT: Doh! Just realized I put Japanese titles on the English Pseudo-Release. Rather than try to redo all the artist and relationship stuff it would be much easier to just make a second set of changes for the correct translated track titles after these changes go through. Most titles are already in English, it’s just the handful that are not.
I have replaced a “bad import” DVD with a properly checked tracklist. (The duffer here actually shows “audio” tracks, when it should be identical to the BluRay tracklist already in MB).
While we are in limbo of this change over it makes the Release look odd as it currently shows up with two DVDs.
