Hi Nicholas,
a) Yes, it is about the person and the aliases together. As a general
rule, it's one article per person, not per name.
b) Different names is a quirk of the Wikipedia background - these
default to the title of the Wikipedia article on that person, and
there's no agreement on whether to put the article under the person or
the more famous pseudonym.
FYI, there is now a property for pseudonyms (
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P742 ).
d) I think the initial assumption was that there was a
1=1 match, but
if there are multiple musicbrainz id's representing facets of the same
entity, then Wikidata will support adding several.
It is possible to put several IDs coming from the same database.
Actually, I'm trying to do this with multiple VIAF codes referring to
the same author, and it could also become a "feedback" to the original
database.
