My voting policy :-)
These are the simple habits I follow when I have only limited time to spend on MusicBrainz. If I have more time, I search evidence by myself and vote accordingly.
« Add release » edit
If I see a duplicate, it's a No.
I instantly vote Yes if I have, as Edit notes, a direct link to official (artist's or label's homepage) page track-listing that is true to the MusicBrainz Release page.
If there is no Edit note at all or no link to legitimate page (However cool site, I don't consider freeDB trustworthy for valid information) I Abstain.
When there is no Edit notes, I may not click on the MusicBrainz Release. But if I do and I see a link to Amazon with similar track-listing, I may vote Yes anyway. But I usually prefer immediate and official information rather than commercial or fan information.
« Add relationship » and other edits
I vote Yes when I know it's true or if There is convincing explanation in Edit notes.
I vote No when I know it's wrong then I justify it with an Edit note and I'm open for new arguments.
An amazon track-listing has to be true to the MusicBrainz Release listing.
I Abstain when I don't know and there is no convincing explanation in Edit notes.

To do
Tiếng Việt fixes
Finnish tiếng Việt fix of incorrect tiếng Việt in following American releases — I have started for tracks for which it's easy only.
- The Music of Vietnam, Vol.1.1 (there must be other volumes to check too)
- Folk Songs of Vietnam
French fixes
- oe → œ
- Look for 〝œ*〞 releases
- Look for [〝œil〞, 〝œuf〞, 〝sœur〞 and 〝cœur〞] tracks

Hot topics
Capitalisation
What
As dmppanda said, I don't Like This Odd and Funny Capitalization system (6608599). I wonder where it comes from in the beginning (From English language habits?). The version of Picard I have doesn't allow to override the uppercase/lowercase scheme so the way titles are named would impact me if I used MusiBrainz to tag files. It impacts everyone using MusicBrainz to tag in fact, having them to apply an Action in mp3tag afterwards for example.
Why
It makes reading uncomfortable, unpleasant, slower and it's aesthetically questionable.
Where
As long as this comes up only in english language I don't have my word to say because I am totally unaware of rules that are usually used in there. But when I see French With Those FunNy thIngs (CapitalizationStandardFrench), that makes me wonder… I am french and never used nor read this often except from people who are used to name their MP3 like this and they don't know why. I think it's even worse for romanised Japanese as Uppercase and Lowercase is something that doesn't exist in Japanese (CapitalizationStandardJapanese). I could at most understand Uppercase for カタカナ and lower case for the rest (ひらがな、漢字) or uppercase only for first letter of proper nouns and first letter of title.
What I advocate
Keep it simple (KISS).
- Use lowercase for every character except
- First letter of the title is in UPPERCASE
- First letter of proper nouns is in UPPERCASE
CapitalizationStandardJapanese
Same as CapitalizationStandardFrench or even simpler :) :
- Use lowercase for every character except
- カタカナ is in UPPERCASE
Who
I respect everyone's point of view (I am myself, a real pain), I just put here this list to remember everyone's :) It's a personal interpretation of editors intention based on one or more edits or statements I came across so I may be all wrong (thanks Editor:murdos for making me realize this ;) ).
Editors who use Funny Capitalization (I mean no offense)
- Editor:dmppanda uses it for everything while he doesn't like it
- Hey there. Funny to find my name here, on top of the bad boys list :)-. I don't actually mind you freely interpret and represent what I think and do about Capitalization questions - be it "true" or not to what I actually think and do - as long as you don't mind keeping this note here, as readers may want to have a different truth, straight from the horse's mouth - errrrr panda's mouth: CapitalizationStandardFrench has nothing to do with CapitalizationStandardEnglish. There's no "it": each language has its own set of rules. So, I suggest you keep the issues separated (actually, I don't have any kind of opinion about romanized japanese capitalization). Neither english or french cap are derived from "people's habits who are used to name their MP3 like this and they don't know why" ("not knowing why" being more your own situation as you stated above) - but, as clearly indicated (from the CapitalizationStandardFrench), they are derived from typographic conventions and current usage at Wikipedia, who can hardly be regarded as people doing fUnNy thINgs. Both supporters and detractors of the current (french) SG have publicly admitted that typographic conventions are rich, have a lot of variants, and are not universally followed either way. If you take a look at a bookshelf, you will definitely find examples - so I guess your statement that you've never seen anything like that is... clearly an exageration :p - unless you're french and illiterate, which I'm sure you're not (illiterate that is :-)). As for your questions about their origin, I hope I addressed it just above (if not enough, hopefully, you can research things yourself now, and read typography related articles, at Wikipedia for example). During this summer discussion, it was suggested that we should follow the common practice in libraries. There, you will find one of the origin of some french capitalization rules: sorting. Now, about the supposed complexity of the rules, both the supporters and detractors admitted they were not complex (including some non-native)... I'm somewhat confused that we finally found someone thinking they are... Indeed, they are way simpler than english cap for example. Last, a slightly unrelated note: your "voting policy" doesn't mention that you first (before anything else) check if a release is there or not... I'm sure you do, and you possibly want to state that in your policy, don't you? -- dmppanda 21:10, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- You're welcome here Panda! Thanks! For the duplicate check : No I did not do that. In fact I never thought someone could think of inserting a duplicate release, I realise it could happen not sooner than today with the 6606479. Thanks for pointing this out :) – Well yes you found someone who thinks 15 lines of rules and exceptions were more complex than the simple 3 lines rule I wrote above :) – No I'm not illiterate :) In fact, I checked my books for the first time right now and I found very few FuNNy CaPPeD ones... I even found 2 books in the same serie that use different system (same collection same everything) « Les fourmis » and « Le Jour des fourmis »... Why « Jour » (2nd book) and not « Fourmis » (1st book)... By the way, I'm so relieved that my favourite book is printed the perfect way « La main gauche de la nuit » ;) – ♡jesus2099- 2007.3.28 0:36
- Probably because the (cheap) publisher hired two different typographers and/or couldn't be bothered to be consistent. Fortunately, libraries and serious online resources like Wikipedia, use a standardized capitalization. Look at: [[[Image:pho1_172708.jpg]] this] is your favorite book... which sure appears as this on Wikipedia... La Main gauche de la nuit. Funny, hey? :-) . -- dmppanda 08:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think I sound like a stuborn but most of my book titles are good looking, like « La main… ». BTW I don't know of foreigners who can spot a substantif or a qualificatif in a french title… Well I know what to do for the moment : I stick to Vietnamese releases and some Japanese where there is not yet El33t STyLe titling — Yes I love pestering you with this FunNy cApS 7h|Ng ;) ♡jesus2099- 2007.3.28 14:49 (France)
- Ok... so you have the "Livre de poche" edition, right? So, would you actually trust the publisher catalog? (as we all know "covers" are not consistent between different editions, especially covers with fancy fonts) - then here you go: "La Main gauche de la nuit", on the publisher website... -- dmppanda 13:12, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

- Editor:Kerensky97 uses it for romanized Japanese (6621588, …)
Editors who don't like it (besides me)
- Editor:mll (6541497)
Editors who want further discussion to find a consensus
I absolutely fail to understand how any of these edits you link to (both Editor:mll and Editor:murdos edits) demonstrate a dislike/like of CapitalizationStandardFrench... -- dmppanda 11:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Because both 6603788 and 6541497 are simplifications which are similar to my 3 line simple CAP rule. Anyway, this section is temporary because I don't really understand its usefulness myself apart from (me) having a bit of reflection at some time… ♡jesus2099- 2007.3.28 14:49 (France)
- Well... that sounds also very similar to the 5 lines cap rules we have... Go sentence case most time... unless you meet one of the following cases (and none of these edits deal with any of the specific cases). -- dmppanda 13:12, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
