There seem to be a lot of instances of mods removing the simplest 'see also' summary line from the label listing and inserting it into the biogs, where it has often been already stated. This doesn't help people trying to understand whats happening, or navigate easily. Redpunk commented about merging kept to the exception rather than the rule as you could end up with the discographies looking a complete mess. So why do we have the mishmash Edison Bell in our labels, which is a company not a label. According to the list, there are only 5 true 'Edison Bell' only discs, which I suspect are all mis-listings or unattributed promos, but we end up with a 12 page (~600 items) label listing which has ignored Winner and 'The Bell'. I've tried to make it as useful as possible, but I'd much prefer it wasn't there. During the first quarter of the 1900s, many companies tried to disassociate their new (often cheaper) labels from their main labels. Examples Winner, Zonophone, Cinch, Regal, etc...
