:* No, of course not, just like I don't 100% trust MusicBrainz. But I make sure that the tools will never repeat the same edit, so if there's a fix, it won't be re-added. It helps that editors are watching the artists they know. By the way, I'm not focusing on Discogs in particular. I think the next data source on my roadmap are the structured infoboxes on Wikipedia.

* 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)
