Errors, Missing, and Conflicting Information1.7.1. The general principle of entering information into Discogs is to reflect what is written on the release as much as possible. When the information printed on the release does not match the audio on the release, we enter the actual audio content, and outline the error in the release notes. It is important at all times to communicate the errors and nature of the correction with other users, using the release notes and the submission notes. Any doubts should be discussed in the Database forum. If the doubt remains, the release should not be updated, but the doubt can be noted in the release notes.
1.7.2. Artist names, if the credited artist is totally incorrect, should be changed to the correct artist, and the correction explained in the release notes. Spelling and other errors in artist names must not be corrected, but instead be entered using the Artist Name Variation (ANV) function. Any suspected artist name spelling error can be explained in the release notes, but this isn't mandatory.
1.7.3. Track titles and release titles must be entered as they appear on the release (please note specific instructions at the release title and track title guidelines), except where there is a proven error that deviates from the intent of the artist. Reasonable proof must be provided for the error correction to be accepted (for example, that you hold the release, and have checked the audio content). We require that the mislabeled track is 100% verifiable as an unaltered copy of the original track in order to allow a name correction. If the track was an altered or alternate version in any way, the altered / different name should apply unless it can be proven otherwise. Any title error that is corrected should be mentioned in the notes.
1.7.4. Incorrect tracklists should be changed to reflect what is really on the release, the errors that have been corrected must be entered into the notes.
1.7.5. For conflicting information printed on different parts of the release, the most complete and correct version should be chosen. If it is not apparent which is the most complete and correct, the boldest version should be chosen (for example, the artist name on the cover of the release, the tracklist on the rear of the release etc). Again, any differences must be explained in the release notes. Please see the title guidelines for specifics of how to choose the right title.
1.7.6. Missing or damaged parts - A submission can be made when the submitter possess a release with missing or damaged parts (for example, a missing sleeve, a missing disc, or a torn label). The submitter must have enough of the release in their possession to reasonably guarantee the basis of the submission is correct. There must be clear release notes and submission notes left stating the missing parts that were not available at the time of submission. External information can be used to fill in missing information in this case (for example, tracklists), but the submitter must state what information has been externally sourced, and cite the source. The information must be reasonably seen to be accurate; if there is doubt or disagreement, please ask in the Forum.
