* Focus on releases. Currently you're doing 1 or 2 edits on a release then change to a completely unrelated release/artist/track. Instead: pick a release, try to add as much "safe" information as you can, then continue on a new release. [[User:Murdos|Murdos]] 08:28, 28 May 2010 (UTC) |

* Don't add partial credits. E.g. it happens that you add a "composed by" credit for only one artist while the work was done by 2 or more artists. I'd prefer that you do not enter any information rather than partial and misleading information. [[User:Murdos|Murdos]] 08:28, 28 May 2010 (UTC) |

Spotter errors. Are they fixed?
- Edit:12582655 Two different artists added for only one performance credit. Murdos 15:58, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
- Will do that. Nothing is running now, but before I restart I will add a check for common 'ancestors' in the equivalence map. Jeroen 16:11, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
