Re: [mb-users] Changing barcodes

Hi,

IMO:
1.In general, if you disagree with an edit, even if it's been applied 
already, leave an edit note asking for an explanation and explaining 
your concerns. If the editor doesn't respond to edit notes, and hasn't 
provided compelling evidence, by all means correct the data in question.

2. Of the two amazon.co.uk entries for that release, one is marked 
"limited edition". That, or something like it, should be added as a 
disambiguation comment for the corresponding release. (An note in the 
annotation explaining what the difference is would also be helpful)

3. I think you'll find that many (most?) of us speak OCD fluently.
