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?)

Are these 2 edits correct?

Hello,
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.
Here are some edits made by myself (Otto) and my manager Grant would be great if these could be upvoted

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’m pretty sure this is correct, but between the format and the language would like to get expert opinions: https://beta.musicbrainz.org/edit/74896399
Hello everybody peeps,
It would be really helpful if I can get a few people to pile in and vote this duff DVD out of existence.
https://musicbrainz.org/edit/75019732
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.
Thanks 
Kia ora koutou,
Could I get some input on this edit (and related recording edits):
https://musicbrainz.org/edit/75171343
I can’t remember what MB stance is on this kind of extra title information…
I like having (instrumental) in the track names in this case because otherwise the tracks are identical to the non instrumental release, length and all. But perhaps this edit is correct, and ‘instrumental’ should be moved to the recording disambig? I also like leaving tracks exactly as titled on the release page.

Merged zombie recordings (recordings without release) created by a beginner editor into real recordings created by the same editor: please vote.
Here is the original edit which created a media with later abandoned recordings. I do now know the DB structure good enough, maybe the abandoned media shall be merged into the new media created by the same beginner editor as well.
Unclear how to set release group artist credit with featured track artists: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/75295026

Related to the last vote request:
New release added to get round changes being voted down in the last release… not ok @ebozzz

Again, my entry had little to do with "trying to get round’ the voting. and everything to do with wanting a entry that was less redundant…
Pretty sure artist intent doesn’t apply to fields like disambiguation:
There lots more similar edits but I can’t possibly link all of them.

Errr… WOW! One band member making tons of edits almost as if they are intentionally trying to break every single guideline in the book. I don’t think “Artist Intent to annoy everyone and have their own personal set of rules” is supposed to be a thing.

As long as the artist keeps these whack-a-doodle edits to their own project and nowhere else, I’d be inclined to just let it be.

I looked at them briefly and likewise decided it wasn’t worth the bother. (Despite their insistence that the capitalization is artist intent, their cover art does not do so consistently, which undermines that argument.)
