==What I do at MusicBrainz==

* I edit. Quite a lot.
** slowly go through my own CD collection adding missing core data (usually release events, basic URL links etc). This tends to get sidelined by my other editing activities below though, bizarrely.
** fix other people's edits to the [[Style Guidelines|StyleGuidelines]] and add missing data (typically release events and URL ARs)
** create and split (disambiguate) artists with the same names based on Discogs, Wikipedia, googling and other sources. Time consuming but rewarding. [[User:mudcrow|mudcrow]] and [[User:drsaunde|drsaunde]] do a lot of this too; they're awesome.
** the odd back catalogue population stuff, usually drum & bass labels (e.g. [http://musicbrainz.org/label/d521583e-7fa6-4d0c-8a2b-84311d8908cb.html Renegade Hardware], [http://musicbrainz.org/label/8562598d-60d1-4bd6-8b85-4d709e951770.html Hospital Records]), and also New Zealand hip hop artists/labels (which have limited data availability unfortunately)
** Nine Inch Nails tidying, particularly related to [[Live Bootleg Style|LiveBootlegStyle]] and other boots.
** [[Advanced Relationship|AdvancedRelationship]] mass-tagging for the odd release I really love. I don't do enough of this.

* I vote, a reasonable amount. We don't have nearly enough voters helping others learn the [[Style Guidelines|StyleGuidelines]], fixing edits and keeping an eye on destructive edits like merges and removals.
* I actively help users on [http://forums.musicbrainz.org/ the forums].
* I read the mailing lists a lot; pipe up on style issues occasionally.
* I try and do bug triaging on MB's [http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/ Trac BugTracker], for [[Picard Tagger|PicardTagger]] in particular.
* As of August 2008, I'm a [[Transclusion Editor|TransclusionEditor]] and am now trying to play an active role in leading, improving and tidying the [[WikiDocs]] documentation, particularly around use of the website and Picard.

==Wiki pages to keep an eye on==

Just a random collection of pages in the Wiki I want to remember.
* [[Cover Art Sites|CoverArtSites]]
* [[Featuring Artist Style|FeaturingArtistStyle]] (lol)
* [[Rating System|RatingSystem]]
* [[Not Yet Released Releases|NotYetReleasedReleases]]
* [http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/conditions.html Edit Conditions] (why can I never find this page manually!?)
* [[How To Change Cover Art|HowToChangeCoverArt]]
* [[How PUIDs Work|HowPUIDsWork]]

==Things that still aren't clear to me==

* how the heck [[Tracks With Multiple Artists|TracksWithMultipleArtists]] corresponds to [[Mash-up|MashUp]]s, [[Medley Style|MedleyStyle]], [[Versus Means Different Things|VersusMeansDifferentThings]] and/or [[Multiple Title Style|MultipleTitleStyle]]? I am very confused by how they are supposed to go together in these cases so have been "making up style as I go" I think, in retrospect. e.g. [[Release:dd65aa2d-b723-4e39-8fb5-64773058dcba|a MashUp]] :-/
* why [[Live Bootleg Style|LiveBootlegStyle]] is dead in the water, but used everywhere

==Queries I watch==
