^ Those last two seem to be by different labels and ASINs, though they oddly enough have the same release dates. Listal has yet to decide whether Music should be merged if two albums are essentially the same. It hasn't become too big of an issue, as Movies, TV and Games have been.

Either way, keep posting music albums like what you mentioned in these last two posts in case the decision is reached to merge albums. [EDIT: Nevermind. See next post.]

No point in posting albums to merge since there are literally thousands of them, I plan automatically merge them at some point, it's not possible to merge them individually yet.

(the last one is the Japanese Import, not sure if it should merge in or not... I would consider is another edition of the same game.)

Done (though the year is listed as 1969), done (it appears this game's versions have been merged quite a bit before), and done.

Thanks Pumpkinate!

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine is all over the place across platforms:

Xbox:
www.listal.com/game/warhammer-40000-space-marine-xbox-360-59911
www.listal.com/game/warhammer-40000-space-marine-xbox-360

PS3:
www.listal.com/game/warhammer-40000-space-marine-playstation-3
www.listal.com/game/warhammer-40k-space-marine-playstation-3

PC:
www.listal.com/game/warhammer-40000-space-marine-pc
www.listal.com/game/warhammer-40000-space-marine-pc-65584


Now the question... Is it best to title them
Warhammer 40K
Warhammer 40,000
or
Warhammer 40000

There seems to be no consensus in other databases either... Amazon has them all listed as 40K, except the digital download, which is 40,000...

While I don't know much about the game, I found its official website where it's frequently typed as "Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine", so maybe that? The only thing is people will search "40000" or "40K", but the "Did you mean...?" search feature should at least help with the first one.

I'd go with Warhammer 40,000. It's the name as written, and officially, but people tend to use 40k as a casual short-hand version. Worst case scenario, add it as an alt in the title so it comes up properly in searches.

Good idea - just put "40k" in the parenthesis if necessary.

Got it. And it didn't even fight back!

I'm going to have to get back to you on that last one, since the new search feature has made merging temporarily unavailable.

I'll be gone for a week, by the way.

Alright, problem fixed and done.
