[mb-users] Is their an artist property for an artists place of birth ?

[Maurits Meulenbelt]

That could be amended by using town or city for place. Off course, with 
so many cities in the world it would be impossible to make a list like 
we do with things like release country (I think release region would 
indeed be a better word), so it would have to be entered as a string 
like we do with album and track titles.
The question is however, do we want to add such encyclopaedic 
information? We already add links to relevant Wikipedia articles, which 
normally mentions the place of birth as well.
