I don't respond to questions concerning digital rips or trades for rips because I don't have the means to accommodate them.

Voting considerations
Runouts need to be consolidated per RSG §5.2.c.
First and foremost: Discogs is a peer review based community, people get butthurt if you vote Needs Minor Changes.
Use RSG §20.2.5 as touchstone, but is it worth the hassle?
Fix it if you can.
Comment if you can't. Vote correct if correct.
Vote neg if the last comment was ignored or if the last editor is the update bot or an inactive/closed/banned user.
If the last edit was correct, but you need/want to edit anyways, vote correct first, so that the previous effort will be rewarded.
RSG §4.3.3 "Locations within locations, for example, "Studio 1, Abbey Road Studios" should usually be entered into the Release Notes."
RSG §12.2.7. For side identification, please use A, B, etc. in place of 1, 2, One, Two, Side One, Side Two, etc. But don't bother arguing with people about "Side A" outside of tracks as it is not worth the effort due to a lack of clarity in the guidelines: San Francisco Ltd. - San Francisco Ltd.
mispress or misprint:
Misprint = There are errors in the text on the labels.
Mispress = Audio issues like Side A audio on Side B, not labels on wrong side, same labels both sides, wrong labels, etc.
RSG §1.4.4 "...Manufacturing tolerance based variations in the shades of label paper or ink color.
RSG §2.5.4: ANVs are not to be used for surname changes.
Mislabelings such as (correct) labels misapplied to incorrect sides, two of the same labels, or missing labels.
Unintended vinyl coloration caused by variation in vinyl stock, etc.
These examples would not count as a unique release"
- Even if a release has sequential track numbering (RSG §12.2.6), side specification of vinyl and cassette releases is mandatory (RSG §12.2.3). All other cases should use the standard Discogs positions (RSG §12.2.9).
- For the first time on vinyl! = marketing gimmick. If it's has been issued before, it's almost certainly a Reissue: acording to RSG §6.17.1, this term is generally independent of the format.
- Reissue (RSG §6.17.1) and repress (RSG §6.17.2) are two different, yet -sometimes- complementary terms.
- Vinyl must not stay on the free text field of a vinyl release. According to RSG §6.1.5, the free text field should not be used to describe things that are already in the Format or Description fields.
- If a vinyl record is plain black, there's no need to add Black to free text field: RSG §6.1.5.
- When adding a double (or multiple) vinyl release pressed on two different colors, always use the expanded format (RSG §6.1.2) so that each color can be added in the free text field.
- All Media format is your friend: don't be afraid to use it! :-)
- No matter any fancy term used by the band / record label, RSG §6.1.7 requires to put color first in free text field!
- When adding / editing physical (= touchable) releases, do not upload pictures of generic sleeves or digital mock ups taken from third party websites: this is not allowed. This common practice does not help other fellow collectors to better identify between each release. Please, see RSG §13.1.4.

Discogs submissions guidelines
ANVs which are surname alone (or misspelling thereof) or include real forename (or initial / misspelling thereof) belong to real name profile per staff ruling (See The Band - The Band).
No need to always say etched or stamped e.g. Cream (2) - Best Of Cream
Do not split the runout strings up into stamped and etched parts - they should be left in one line
How Can I Format Text?
LP + Album is goodjust LP + 33RPM or 12" is redundant
