There are some inaccuracies in band's bio and in album's information. (Caution -- all the inaccuracies I'm talking about are in the band's members' names and in songs' titles; I'm not familiar with the group's repertoire and, therefore, cannot say anything about the rightness of, say, lines-up).
 
First of all, the band's name is MODRÝ EFEKT; is it possible that the diacritic upon "Y" also will appear in the name in the alphabetical list?
 
Then, the name of leader of the band is Radim Hladík (with the accent on the "i"), it should appear in all albums' infos as well as in the bio; moreover, there's a typo in the bio when his name is written for the first time -- it appears as "Haldik" yet it's "Hladík".
 
Then, the albums.
1.Meditace - Kingdom of Life
Line-up -- written:

- Vlado Cech / drums
- Radim Haldik / lead guitar
- Jirí Kozel / bass guitar
- Vladimir Mišik / flute, vocals (2-6 to 10)

+ Jaroslav Cmehil / recitation (1)
- Lesek Semelka / vocals (1-3 to 5)

Should be:

- Vlado Čech / drums
- Radim Hladík / lead guitar
- Jiří Kozel / bass guitar
- Vladimír Mišík / flute, vocals (2-6 to 10)

+ Jaroslav Cmehil / recitation (1)
- Lešek Semelka / vocals (1-3 to 5)

...well, I decide to give up. Try to understand me: I seriously believe that every single word and every single name should appear in their right form. And as long as I post in the "Report omissions and errors" section, it's my duty to find the right forms and to type them for the following copying and pasting by the Editors Team. It's the ant's work, however; I can do something and find something, but! -- I cannot be sure in every Czech word or name I type. Of course, I know all I've typed here is right, but how many things I can't repair just due to the fact that Czech isn't my native language neither I have the Czech keyboard??!? I would like to help you, but I truly think that there's more effective way (MODRÝ EFEKT, he-he, which means (or, should mean) "wise effect"; I may be wrong, though, since I rely not on a dictionary but on the phonetical similarities) -- namely, to contact with any Czech forum member (the best choice is michna since he (or she) did the last updates to some band's albums), and ask him to check the words and names; for him (or her) the task will be much easier than for me (also a Slavic speaker).
So, what are your thoughts?
 
Some other inaccuracies I found:
 
In album 33 (Triatricet): the song "Avignonské slecny z prahy", I think it should be "Prahy" since the names of cities are written with first capital letter.
 
The surname "Krachtovil" should be replaced by "Kratochvil" in all the albums this name appears..

I've done everything that is coloured red in the quote above. On the PC I am using at the moment, the acute accent  ( ´ ) does not appear in the administration section where I edit artist/album details (screen resolution and font issues), but I have copied and pasted the name Radim Hladík so it should be correct now.

As for any other inaccuracies, I don't speak Czech and so do not have a clue which letters in which words should have accents. When I edited the albums' details I noticed that michna had made several changes, so I will leave it up to him/her to correct any further inaccuracies in spelling or accents in the details for these albums.
