        so I've just added a CD by Waco band Adeline, and found that the existing "Adeline" is actually three different bands mashed together, none of which are the one I'm after ;-)

      • atsampson
        when splitting the existing one up, should I leave the one that has the most releases in it as the existing entry, and move the others out to new ones?

        take a look at the artist editing history, see which Adeline came first, and move the rest out.

        Oh nice, one of the release adds has the classic "Come On Eileen" or "Come on Eileen" capitalization example.
      • 2014-09-14 25728, 2014

      • atsampson
        hm, so from the history, it's actually *four* different artists -- it was originally created for a vocalist who appears on various other peoples' records!
      • 2014-09-14 25753, 2014

      • KRS-Cuan
        ARs seem to be for the vocalist, so make this her entry.

        Adeline Petricien's done much more than all the others put together, so it makes sense to keep it as hers...
      • 2014-09-14 25712, 2014

        Don’t forget to add good disambiguation comments, to the remaining one as well.

        Because it’s a separate edit (Add medium).

        That particular bot will hopefully observe the bot CoC in the future, so that they will come in with less pace.

      • 2014-09-14 25736, 2014

        hi all. there are 2 works with exactly same name. but none of them have all info available. [1] https://musicbrainz.org/work/7dda3daa-9c7f-304d-b…
      • 2014-09-14 25735, 2014

        [2] https://musicbrainz.org/work/fe770046-644b-328b-8…. [2] url is good. in my opinion, adding vocals info to [2] is good. i f i merge with [1] does [2] data overwrite [1] ?
      • 2014-09-14 25707, 2014

      • chirlu`
        Vocals? As in, who sang it? That goes to the recording anyway, because different singers can sing various performances of the same song.
      • 2014-09-14 25731, 2014

        or more approriately, how to merge them properly ? and ithink there is no need to click edit option of the work & directly click merge.

        Our guidelines don't really mandate any language/script for disamb comments, do they?
