Hey, cool, we made it up to 4 pages without personal insults. I'm really glad that Grendell showed up.

So between these two moments where do you store all this research?

That was exactly my point... I don't, obviously.  ...

I'm sorry, but that ain't gonna happen. You store the result of your work ...

Actually, as an academian (I think my two masters degrees qualify me there) you DO store your research.  I have files and files of it.  Yes, I store the results of my research - my papers - but each paper also has a bibliography, a long attachment of documentation that indicates the research done.  And, at any given time, I could pull out any of my papers, turn to the bibliography for a citation, and then pull that article from my file.  In the academic world,  a paper without bibliography is nothing more than opinion, and no professor or editor would accept it. 

Now, everything considered, do we need to have an annotated bibliography with every common name contribution?  No.  That would be excessive.  Academic research is tedious.  And, alternately, are there sources that are used so much that you simply 'know' it?  Absolutely - in my case the book Highbrow/Lowbrow comes up so often that I don't have to pull the text to know when I've cited the central thesis of Levine's argument, I can simply cite him, I know the work that thoroughly. 

But simply saying "I did the research and this is the result" can be said by anyone.  I could say "plastics make you fat, I did the research!" but everyone would laugh at me unless I had something to back it up.  I don't think you should have to provide a page full of academic citation as to why X=Y, but a couple of links to different sites shouldn't be too difficult.

Caused by T!M's condescending attitude in his fourth post on page 1.

Divergent credits are already rather rare, but erroneous contributions absolutely unproven.

At worst eradicated by our voting and screening process.

So T!M is right.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. 

The UK release of 9 songs was recently submitted with wholescale changes to cast an crew with the German release as the source. Thanks to a vigilant voter it was noticed that there were significant differences in the credits (And this is the same region) I am sure many will go unchecked so if we have a couple of examples we may have more.

For me there is something vaguely dishonest in submitting data for disks you don't own or intend to own as you have to add them to your collection as Owned, ordered or wish list. There being no category for "added to update disk I don't own" the implication is that any submission falls into the above category unless the notes make it clear otherwise.

Not one single user cares about whether credits differ between different home video releases of the same film in all these bbbbB-bbBbb-Bbbbb common name type of topics.

What is your opinion about those surveys, and their results?

Another omnipotent user? 
How can you claim that not one single user cares? Have you spoken to all of us, or even bothered reading this whole thread?

bbbbb, I'll thank you to exclude me from your omnipotant claim that no single user cares about credit variations between different releases.  I, for one, do care.

I'm fairly confident I'm not alone in that stance either, though I certainly will not make a such an unsupportable, biased claim.
