I believe this is never going to have a solution as long as we continue using too subjective criteria. If we try to imagine a situation where the Collaboration AR did not exist, so that an Artist could only be part of a group, we would sometimes disagree on whether some musical formations constitute a group or not. The intermediate Collaboration level does not improve things, of course. So either we accept that each time deciding the suitability of the Collaboration AR will be left to the editor and the voters (and we accept too that later some other editor and some other voters may decide the reverse), or we remove the Colllaboration AR entirely. -- Frederic Da Vitoria (davitof) Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org
