It does that 6 times, once for each member of the band. The '0000 - 0000' texts are placeholders for unknown dates, the delete links allow you to remove that entry in case it is mistaken.
All the edits are then piped in to a holding tank where they're verified before being made part of the page. This results in very little attempts to spam the site, on the 'no broken windows' theory, nobody ever made it through.

I believe you. But it has to start somewhere. Maybe you'd be scraping this one...

I see.
I'm beginning to understand why adsense is the way it is, thank you for enlightening me.
As trollish as the guy you were responding to is, his criticism about the site's design doesn't strike me as totally inaccurate. I would encourage you to tweak it to, as he said, make the 'human voice' more obvious.
That's tricky because the whole idea behind daz is to register the 'graph', so the majority of the data consists of artists, bands, song and album titles, dates and connections between those.
It's like a giant network of musical collaboration, hard to give that a 'voice'. It's major use is to find music by bands that are related through one or more members.
