In good faith, I attempt to expand the database and improve on existing entries in accordance with the guidelines and management directives as I understand them, and I trust that many others have the same goals.
During a recent exchange: https://secondhandsongs.com/error-report/43147
Bastien make it clear that his direction and expectation is that contributors handle all matters within their respective authorities (i.e. not defer to editors), otherwise take no action. Up until that exchange, I would handle smaller edits myself, yet defer to editors via reports regarding pics, more detailed bios, basically anything that may depend heavily on individual editor subjective preferences and when the missing info was a mix of changes I could handle myself and those requiring an editor anyway. Now I either make smaller edits or take no action.
This morning I scanned a string of reports by Bastien that seem to directly conflict with his direction. Some examples:

https://secondhandsongs.com/error-report/44314
https://secondhandsongs.com/error-report/44308
I am struggling to reconcile all of this, so assuming there remains some confusion on my part. With the goal of better understanding, requesting some guidance and clarification....
