I *think* that should be safe to remove across the merge. It's certainly safe to remove from the release you're merging *into*

Titles will remain as the ones of the release you're merging it into, so you can ignore that if you merge into the correct-ish one
2013-03-09 06848, 2013
johtso
ah, that's good
2013-03-09 06820, 2013
johtso
so what about the label? The incorrect label will be copied over right? So do I just open the merge edit, then wait for it to be merged, and then correct the label?

reosarevok: i don't like that edit, but i am not about to get in a web of tangles with teleguise
2013-03-09 06859, 2013
reosarevok
johtso: well, I'd enter the removal for the incorrect label
2013-03-09 06806, 2013
reosarevok
It will either be removed, and all is fine
2013-03-09 06826, 2013
reosarevok
Or fail, and then it'll tell you it couldn't remove it and you could just enter a removal again
2013-03-09 06848, 2013
johtso
reosarevok, aha, so step 1 enter edit to correct label on release, and then enter edit to merge?
2013-03-09 06811, 2013
reosarevok
I doubt the order in which they're entered matters much
2013-03-09 06818, 2013
reosarevok
It'll depend on the order they apply in
2013-03-09 06825, 2013
reosarevok
I guess you could remove it first, yes
2013-03-09 06842, 2013
reosarevok
That way if both expire after 7 days, I guess that'll be dealt with before the merge
2013-03-09 06854, 2013

About the linked edit: the main question is - are legal name artists and legal name aliases on the performance name mutually exclusive?
(but suspicious than the other edits fixing this mess are untouched)

exept for jesus voting yess on a few of the fixes, thanks man!

CatCat: greycat is Russian and probably subscribed to that artist, salo follows a search of no-voted stuff (I think) so will see it because greycat voted no, and jesus seems to be voting on more of the fixes
2013-03-09 06830, 2013

Easy solution! :)

was that to me intgr ?

Heh no, I wanted to type the command "/c" but forgot I had already typed it
CatCat: That would make them have different values, and since discogs is mostly a collector site, that matters
2013-03-09 06821, 2013

Not that much for MB - although theoretically they'd be different releases for us too I'd say, but I doubt anyone'd care enough to enter them :p
2013-03-09 06802, 2013
CatCat
it gets to the point where its probalby just a differnt pressing
2013-03-09 06812, 2013

CallerNo6: heh, I certainly would see different colour vinyl as a different release
2013-03-09 06814, 2013
CatCat
so this pressign has silver text, the first had white, etc
2013-03-09 06834, 2013
CatCat
but yes
2013-03-09 06847, 2013
CatCat
it am happy for the return of release events
2013-03-09 06809, 2013

reosarevok: really? I wouldn've thoughtj it'd be enough to note "available in five colors, collect them all!" in the annotation
2013-03-09 06818, 2013

lol
2013-03-09 06819, 2013

seems to be "release in colours2
2013-03-09 06837, 2013

but i see what reo mens, but again, seems same release
2013-03-09 06842, 2013
CatCat
this sort of thing.. ugh
2013-03-09 06858, 2013
reosarevok
CallerNo6: Pretty much every person I knew cared about vinyl colours enough to be like "I have the red one and you have the black one and we have different releases"
2013-03-09 06821, 2013
reosarevok
Well, they wouldn't say it like that, because they are punks, not metadata nerds, but still, they see it as different
2013-03-09 06837, 2013
CallerNo6
reosarevok: oh, so you're gonna play the "I know people" card.
2013-03-09 06806, 2013
CatCat would see it sa the smae release, but different "editions"
2013-03-09 06815, 2013

like shiny pokemon

Okay, I defer to the collectors, as long as it doesn't lead to a proliferation of recordings.
2013-03-09 06841, 2013

er, _further_ proliferation

Also, I don't understand why the android MusicBrainz app doesn't need to read my contacts, when every fucking other app thinks it's a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

I want to go through a bunch of recordings and group them, but I'm still not sure how to approach it to avoid doing more harm than good..
Is it enough to listen to the tracks on spotify to see which recordings are which, or do I have to be careful about remasterings?

johtso: Considering its age, I'd be wary of "noticeably different" remasters (especially when remastered for digital releases). We don't have very good guidelines for this sort of thing at the moment, though.
2013-03-09 06802, 2013
johtso
jacobbrett, it's a shame there's no way of adding information about the sources of recordings without having to go into subtle differences
2013-03-09 06821, 2013
jacobbrett
johtso: How would that work when often there are only subtle differences to differentiate them? You could relate the Masterer and mastering date, I suppose.
