[mb-users] A cute idea

[Lauri Watts]

I just landed at rate your music for some reason, and i've never
really paid attention to it.  They have some database issue, so you
can't add an album with a dupliate name, but you can change an album
name to the same as an existing one.

They have a pretty cute workaround to it though, namely:
Any edits you do within 30 minutes of adding a new album to their db,
are auto approved.  Obviously, this only applies if you were the
person who added the album.

I wonder if this isn't something we could consider?  It's all too
common I add an album, and realise I typo'ed something as soon as I've
just hit submit on the last page, or worse, don't spot it at all until
after the album page loads up at the end.  As an autoeditor, it's no
big deal, but I see a lot of times someone adding an album, then a
pile of small fixups to stuff they didn't catch while adding it.  Then
I sometimes see people entering edit notes to the original album
addition, saying things like 'you need to fix x', not realising
there's an open edit to do just that a couple of voting pages later.

So how about it?  Developer folk, how big a deal would this be to
implement?  What does everyone else think of it?  I can't really think
of any down side, and several positive results.
