Discouraging Duplicates

I've taken some measures to discourage people from entering duplicate Artists and Venues on fanconcert.  On the Add Artist and Add Venue pages, a warning appears when someone tries to add a dupe.

It's not quite there yet -- but it's an improvement.  The duplicates currently in fanconcert are a great example of the kinds of new problems that this new kind of collaborative editing has to deal with.  Sometimes the best option is to just keep iterating and trying new ideas until something sticks.

What to do with the current dupes in the system?  I want to be able to merge them together somehow.  Dupes will be discouraged but still possible, so I'll need a way to deal with them.

Add to Favourites with One Click

I'm going to try to update fanconcert more often with small updates, like once per week. Now that I'm an independent consultant for Ruby on Rails, unfortunately I'm a lot shorter on free time for fanconcert.

The first example of a small update this week: you can now add artists to your Favourites from the artist page with *one click*. You can do the same things with releases (Release Collection), concerts (Watched Concerts) and users (Friends).
