        there is a yellow (open) edit : https://musicbrainz.org/user/Jybz/edits/open
      • 2022-07-10 19117, 2022

      • aerozol
        Amazing! nice job
      • 2022-07-10 19121, 2022

      • jybz
        on something I added; a copy paste from discogs, but the title on discogs is truncated.
      • 2022-07-10 19147, 2022

      • jybz
        What can I do to apply the correction ?
      • 2022-07-10 19157, 2022

      • jybz
        Waiting 7 days ?
      • 2022-07-10 19134, 2022

      • aerozol
        You have a grace period of I think a day if you just added it - otherwise you can ask here for votes/auto-editors to approve some edits immediately
      • 2022-07-10 19129, 2022

      • jybz
        I open it and edit it within 5 minutes, but need approval. Anyway, good night !
      • 2022-07-10 19140, 2022

      • aerozol
        You can link me and I'll approve it :)
      • 2022-07-10 19142, 2022

      • aerozol
        Night!
      • 2022-07-10 19104, 2022

      • jybz
        (how to "link you" on an edit ?)
      • 2022-07-10 19142, 2022

      • aerozol
        Ah, I found it in your open edits I think, is it this one? 'Grand Canyon Ouverture'
      • 2022-07-10 19153, 2022

      • jybz
        Yes; this one
      • 2022-07-10 19108, 2022

      • aerozol
        You can click the title of any edit and then you will be on the page for that edit, and can share the URL
      • 2022-07-10 19112, 2022

      • aerozol
        Approved - this edit changed the recording but not the tracklist btw. Confusing I know :D
      • 2022-07-10 19127, 2022

      • jybz
        ah ! I thought I should link on a hypertext "link to someone" or adding a comment like "@aerozol" :D I'm definitly tired
      • 2022-07-10 19153, 2022

      • aerozol
        ooh no nothing fancy :P
      • 2022-07-10 19108, 2022

      • jybz
        Oh... Should I also edit the track list ?!
      • 2022-07-10 19132, 2022

      • aerozol
        If you want to! Usually you can edit track list and then tick 'update recordings' in the next tab to make it quicker
      • 2022-07-10 19158, 2022

      • aerozol
        You have this in hand and it's written 'Ouverture' on the back?
      • 2022-07-10 19108, 2022

      • jybz
        No; I don't have it in hand... Let check 5 minutes on net.

      • jybz
        this is NOT the same support, that is for tape, and not for CD
      • 2022-07-10 19157, 2022

      • aerozol
        Yes, I found that too haha. But if that's like that and Discogs has it wrong I imagine it could have CD wrong too
      • 2022-07-10 19108, 2022

      • aerozol
        You should sleep! Only lunchtime here
      • 2022-07-10 19140, 2022

      • jybz
        Already... Time is running ! Good night

        Hello ! How to add an alternative ? I'm pretty sure that I ripped this one : https://davidneale.eu/elvis/elvis-recordings/cds/… but metabrainz only have this one https://www.hessa.eu/CD's/Always%20Elvis%20-%…
      • 2022-07-10 19140, 2022

      • jybz
        The second link precise : also known as "The Dutch Album."
      • 2022-07-10 19106, 2022

      • derwin
        hi
      • 2022-07-10 19123, 2022

      • jybz
        but the covers are slightly different
      • 2022-07-10 19133, 2022

      • derwin
        in general the easiest way to add any release is to find it on a site and use an importer
      • 2022-07-10 19144, 2022

      • derwin
        and if there's multiple different versions of a release, that's what "release groups" are for
      • 2022-07-10 19152, 2022

      • derwin
        they contain all the different versions or alternatives as you say
      • 2022-07-10 19127, 2022

      • derwin
      • 2022-07-10 19112, 2022

      • derwin
      • 2022-07-10 19119, 2022

      • derwin
        so... use the discogs importer?
      • 2022-07-10 19155, 2022

      • jybz
        Perfect. How to use the importer ? From musicbrainz website or from picard ?
      • 2022-07-10 19141, 2022

      • derwin
      • 2022-07-10 19158, 2022

      • derwin
        be sure to hit "guess case" so that you don't get discogs-style capitalization
      • 2022-07-10 19110, 2022

      • derwin
        and feel free to paste the resulting release and I can give feedback on how you did :)
      • 2022-07-10 19146, 2022

      • jybz
        hum... I'm blocked with "label : RCA Cat No: [...]" already exists
      • 2022-07-10 19101, 2022

      • derwin
        paste the existing mb release?
      • 2022-07-10 19151, 2022

      • derwin
      • 2022-07-10 19131, 2022

      • derwin
        that has barcode / catnum 74321 489202
      • 2022-07-10 19142, 2022

      • derwin
        yours is 74321 488062 no?
      • 2022-07-10 19131, 2022

      • jybz
        from discogs, "The Dutch Album" is 74321 488062 and mine, "The Album" is 743214892022
      • 2022-07-10 19152, 2022

      • jybz
        but maybe discogs is wrong and permutes them...
      • 2022-07-10 19105, 2022

      • CatQuest
        not probable
      • 2022-07-10 19111, 2022

      • derwin
        if yours is 74321 489202 how is it different from what is in mb?
      • 2022-07-10 19159, 2022

      • derwin
        oh, I see, the mb has the *name* of the one with the catalog of the other
      • 2022-07-10 19159, 2022

      • jybz
        the Dutch Album on MB is 743214892022
      • 2022-07-10 19135, 2022

      • jybz
        the Dutch Album on Discogs is 74321488062
      • 2022-07-10 19102, 2022

      • CatQuest
        maybe just typo on whoever entered it in mb
      • 2022-07-10 19131, 2022

      • CatQuest
        or maybe identical albums but called slightly diff in diff areas?
      • 2022-07-10 19106, 2022

      • derwin
        my hunch is that whoever added 743214892022 to mb just used the wrong name, but check the edit history : https://musicbrainz.org/edit/4212141
      • 2022-07-10 19124, 2022

      • derwin
      • 2022-07-10 19125, 2022

      • CatQuest
        yea
      • 2022-07-10 19154, 2022

      • derwin
        in general, releases imported from freedb in 2006 are low quality and might have an error like wrong cat number vs. title
      • 2022-07-10 19158, 2022

      • derwin
      • 2022-07-10 19119, 2022

      • derwin
        so... catalog number was added by a person who was also a beginner
      • 2022-07-10 19127, 2022

      • derwin
        and probably didn't realize the distinction between the two names
      • 2022-07-10 19127, 2022

      • derwin
        I would probably just change the release name here, because the catalog number and country and label are all correct..
      • 2022-07-10 19143, 2022

      • derwin
        (and, if I cared to, import the other one and add it to the same release group)
      • 2022-07-10 19103, 2022

      • CatQuest
        I agree
      • 2022-07-10 19123, 2022

      • CatQuest
        well *technically* a new should be added and all the relevant data moved.. but
      • 2022-07-10 19132, 2022

      • CatQuest
        are thre ddiscids tho?
      • 2022-07-10 19135, 2022

      • CatQuest
        eh
      • 2022-07-10 19140, 2022

      • CatQuest
        there discids
      • 2022-07-10 19102, 2022

      • derwin
        oof :/
      • 2022-07-10 19143, 2022

      • CatQuest
        no disc id so i say go for it, just rename the release
      • 2022-07-10 19155, 2022

      • CatQuest
      • 2022-07-10 19110, 2022

      • derwin
        oh, I thought you were saying there were discids
      • 2022-07-10 19116, 2022

      • derwin
        but I didn't see the edits adding them hehe
      • 2022-07-10 19123, 2022

      • CatQuest
        yea i was cheking
      • 2022-07-10 19135, 2022

      • derwin
        jybz: you following all this?
      • 2022-07-10 19141, 2022

      • jybz
        oups... Sorry
      • 2022-07-10 19147, 2022

      • jybz
        didn't follow...
      • 2022-07-10 19152, 2022

      • jybz
      • 2022-07-10 19156, 2022

      • CatQuest
        no worries
      • 2022-07-10 19157, 2022

      • jybz
        I will cancel it
      • 2022-07-10 19155, 2022

      • derwin
        hrm.. I mean, that is valid too, actually they're the same labels and stuff
      • 2022-07-10 19105, 2022

      • CatQuest
        yes
      • 2022-07-10 19120, 2022

      • CatQuest
        i was gonna say" or do what you're doing" but eehhh
      • 2022-07-10 19142, 2022

      • CatQuest
        i'm not really ven into this, so i'll but out.. too many cooks" and such
      • 2022-07-10 19159, 2022

      • derwin
        I don't have a strong opinion as to whether the title or the catalog number should be changed, because each is the only thing that differs
      • 2022-07-10 19112, 2022

      • jybz
        Ehm... I already cancel...
      • 2022-07-10 19158, 2022

      • derwin
        I am "just" another user and not offering any official opinion, but IMO doing either is valid and ok
      • 2022-07-10 19112, 2022

      • derwin
        the one thing that is for sure wrong is having that title with the current catalog number :)
      • 2022-07-10 19159, 2022

      • CatQuest
        same as derwin (thos i have a few more years on my belt, i can als obe wrong for usre :))
      • 2022-07-10 19117, 2022

      • derwin
        CatQuest: I haven't approved an edit before, but this one seems fine to do that with, given that jybz is tagging rn?
      • 2022-07-10 19132, 2022

      • CatQuest
        wich one, link?
      • 2022-07-10 19140, 2022

      • CatQuest
        changing name/barcode?
      • 2022-07-10 19146, 2022

      • derwin
        (the hypothetical one I presume that jybz will paste in a moment)
      • 2022-07-10 19101, 2022

      • CatQuest
        sure. i say go for it. just say we discussed it in irc (and if yo ucna be bothered a link to said discussion)
      • 2022-07-10 19138, 2022

        kk
      • 2022-07-10 19149, 2022

      • jybz
        Hummm... Actually, it looks like it was automatically applied; except the bar code..

      • jybz
      • 2022-07-10 19112, 2022

      • derwin
        would have been good to specify the reason you're changing the barcode ("wrong title for this barcode, I chose to change the barcode")
      • 2022-07-10 19116, 2022

      • derwin
        in the edit note

        On the cover we read :
      • 2022-07-10 19134, 2022

      • jybz
        always elvis the album
      • 2022-07-10 19107, 2022

        But the page :

      • jybz
        always elvis
      • 2022-07-10 19128, 2022

      • jybz
        Should the title be the first or the second ?
      • 2022-07-10 19131, 2022

      • derwin
        look at the disc
      • 2022-07-10 19152, 2022

      • jybz
        Ok; disc is clear.
      • 2022-07-10 19143, 2022

      • jybz
        Should I clic on "copy the release title to the release group" ?
      • 2022-07-10 19121, 2022

      • derwin
        I'm not sure of any actual policy here, but I would use the subset as the Release group title

        so like one is :
      • 2022-07-10 19149, 2022

      • derwin
        "Always Elvis" and the other is "Always Elvis (The Dutch Album)" so I would call the release group "Always Elvis"

      • jybz
        me too. So I select to copy.
      • 2022-07-10 19124, 2022

      • derwin
        2/3 versions are called "Always Elvis"
      • 2022-07-10 19137, 2022

      • derwin
        so yeah, copy.
      • 2022-07-10 19135, 2022

      • derwin
        (and in the edit note explain the above reasoning)
      • 2022-07-10 19152, 2022

      • jybz
        Oh noo... Again, it tells me that the label RCA:74321489202 already exists...

      • derwin
        does it give you a link to the release with that catalog number?
      • 2022-07-10 19155, 2022

      • derwin
        (or might you be editing a cached copy with the old catalog number?)
      • 2022-07-10 19156, 2022

      • jybz
      • 2022-07-10 19120, 2022

      • derwin
        you haven't selected the label yet
      • 2022-07-10 19145, 2022

      • derwin
        so that error is saying "blank label" and <same catalog number> is a dupe
