It’ll probably need more time than over this month, but that’s ok too 馃檪</p> <p>Don’t be afraid if you don’t find anything to do, just adding correct ASINs or even just *voting* is help, you can also help by documenting good links for others in the wikipage.<br /> Do you own any Bob Marley etc. releases? please add TOCs and label info 馃檪</p> <p>* Wikipedia pages: [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Marley">Bob Marley</a>] [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wailers_(reggae)">Wailers</a>] [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Marley_%26_The_Wailers_discography">discography</a>]<br /> * <a href="http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/CollaborationOfTheMonth/BobMarley">CotM:BM page with more links.</a></p> <p><b>A little about the name “Collaboration of the Month”</b></p> <p>It has also be contested that perhaps <i>Collaboration of the Month</i> is <a href="http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/BadTerminology">BadTerminology</a>.<br /> Therefor, after that discussion, I set up a votable string for either “keep as is”, “change to ‘Cleanup of the Month'” or “other” on the [<a href="http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/CollaborationOfTheMonth#head-0ea38f9002645a656eec70b9bc28a27e9d3e3fcd">main CotM-page</a>]: if you’ve got some time and an opinionated soul, head on over and vote 馃檪</p> <p><b>In closing:</b></p> <p>Thanks for now, and sorry for the delay. I’ll be making these posts regularly whenever we’ve decided the collab(cleanup) has been sufficiently finished and a new one picked (either by consensus of vote, or by me (as we didn’t have enough people for a vote previously)<br /> Finally please add your pet peeve or idea to <a href="http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/CollaborationOfTheMonth#head-10d47dd5592301f03e468af89aa71d8051f973c2">the list</a> and or vote for what month you’d like ’em in.<br /> Freso already said June would be great for “The Dubliners” and (unless someone can come up with why not) I see no reason not to continue with that after Bob and his cats.
