[mb-users] making discs in a series be consistent (some existing, some new)?

[Thanks for all the feedback on my other questions. I'm still
collecting data and opionions on the remastered Jesus Christ
Superstar question]
There are a series of Various Artists CD's put out by Hear Music of
which I own several. On the spine of the jewel case they all say
<Artist Name> artist's choice
e.g.
Yo-Yo Ma artist's choice
on the front cover is a geometrically laid out
artist's choice <Artist Name> Ma music that matters to {him,her}
e.g.
artist's choice Yo-Yo Ma music that matters to him
on the CD itself is
<Artist Name> in one spot, artist's choice in another, and various fluff
There are several examples in the db already that include more or less
of the above information:

Amazon has a bunch of them and is inconsistent about including the
"Music That Matters to {Him,Her}.
I think all of these disks should use the same scheme and so I have
the following two questions:
a) I think that "<Artist Name> artist's choice" is the Right Thing
To Do, since it matches the jewel case spine, is less wordy,
respects the publisher's capitalization, and doesn't include the
marketing tagline "music that matters to {him,her}"
b) assuming there's a consensus on The Right Thing To Do, should I
just go in and make the edits and let the voting proceed?
Thanks,
g.
