I sometimes find releases that look very much the same, and one is marked as released in all of Europe and one in a single country within Europe. Current example:... (full message at <https://matrix.chatbrainz.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/chatbrainz.org/EsPPEEEknHHsDyCaqaXNNEZn>)

Nik | Klampfradler 🎸🚴🏻: I would ask in the edit history, check very very closely for differences in scans or original source (if given), and then merge if still sure. Editors being uncertain of what to set the release country to is pretty common! Whether to merge into EU or Germany... dunno either LD

Unfortunately, the edit history for one of the two releases doesn't go back to the creation of the release 😉

hmm... how do i handle an artist that was born in manchuria?

should i credit their birthplace as what it is now or should i be opening AREQ tickets?
Nik | Klampfradler 🎸🚴🏻: If there are scans and the scans are *identical* (down to the small print), then that is usually an excellent reason to merge imo.

@macularguide You should credit that artist's birthplace as it is now.
