I was updating some profiles and a couple have parts that are all capitalized.

The specific title is 'The Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor: The Collection' upc 013138200891

there are 2 possibly 3 parts of the overview. The 'parts' are seperated in their own boxed section on the back cover. The 2 were part of the profile already but the first part is all capitalized the second part is normal capitalization. I would enter this exactly as is, with the first part capital and the second part as is. Would this be the correct way to do it? Or should it be only the second part that is entered? Or should it all be entered with standard capitalization rules?

The other part of it is the 3rd part that lists the episodes on each volume. Should this be included as part of the overview?

Additionally, both of the above situations also apply to the box set contents (except it only lists the episodes in that volume).

And a seperate but related question, For the child profiles, the Titles are currently 'The Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor - Vol. 1' should this be changed to 'The Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor: Volume 1'? The word volume is spelled out on the cover.

Not trying to nit pick, but noticed a few spelling errors while adding disc information to the profiles and while checking against the actual case, came across all this and figured if I'm submitting some changes would like to properly correct as much as I can

Yes, you can include the episode list in the overview if you want to. Just remember, it can only be a list of episodes - synopses aren't allowed as there aren't any on the cover.
The rest of the overview seems correct when it comes to capitalisation. If indiviual words are all capitals, then we keep them all capitals. If entire sections are all capitals then we standardise them.
Again with the child profiles, the overviews as they are seem fine, except they are missing the final paragraph that's on the cover, but you are welcome to add the relevant episode lists to each. If you do, I would remove the sentence "Contains Episodes..." as it's not on the cover and wouldn't be needed any more.
You are right about the titles of the child profiles: Vol. should be expanded to Volume as per the cover.
Hope this helps!

I would say that first block was part of the profile. It's not a "best ever" marketing blurb that you sometimes see at the top, I don't include them.

For the spelling, it should match what's on the box, even if the box is wrong. I just did one overview where every 's should have been just s, and everything that should have been 's was just s. Every single one of them!
