Is it clear that the correction is wrong? The verbatim text in the booklet does misspell his name, but vgmdb's composer and performer fields often deviate from the booklet. A case in point would be the crediting of composers who were not mentioned in the original booklet.


In this case, to accommodate the misspelling, "Charles Martinee" has been added as an official variation on Charles Martinet's artist page:

http://vgmdb.net/artist/8230

which itself seems wrong, as "Martinee" is not actually an accepted variation on the artist's name. It's just a typo, and nothing more than that.


If I had to suggest something, realizing I have much less background info than the editors here, it would be to:

- Remove Martinee as a listed variation on the artist page
- Link the album performer to the artist page using the correct spelling
- Mention in the notes that Charles' name was misspelled in the booklet, as it is an interesting factoid about the album
