"It happens quite often that an edit is entered to e.g. change a track or release title even though it has been changed in the past already. To prevent people from changing a title again I think it would be good to show a summary of previous similar edits.

E.g. the track title F**k the System of the artist System of a Down keeps getting renamed to Fuck the System even though the album cover specifically states it has to be F**k. When a track title edit is going to be entered again, a summary of previous track title edits should be displayed with all the comment on those edits or maybe just the initial edit notes. When people try to rename it again they will see what happened to that track name in the past and might decide not to change it based on the comments of the previous edits.

The same goes for alteration of release titles, album merges, etc."
