I've been adding Saga-releases today (singles and compilations and even a new live-album) and for some reason a lot of these entries are added twice.

^ I guess you were clicking "add" too fast or too often. I even see the same single added twice to Studio albums. What's the use of hurrying?
By the way, to add albums according to PA guidelines, please read this: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=73146&PID=3942757#3942757 And here https://mega.co.nz/#!J9kmiKhC!b_auuURtu9UNqkbtGVIuaAy0yIeGNoJbqOxXCDV-BD8 you can download very simple and nice feature for formatting albums' info and calculating total times. Its description - in this forum thread: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=101257&PN=1 I just reported these duplications to admins, but please be more accurate in future!

^ Nice to read this.
I've edited your SAGA additions, you can use this one: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=52908 as an example of correctly formatted album info.

^ This one http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=17256 should stay, because it has reviews.
But its date, cover art etc should be changed (according to discogs, the album released in 2002, not in 2001: https://www.discogs.com/Hypnos-69-Timeline-Traveller/master/519914). This one http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=17198 (unreviewed) must die. Usually I do the following: 1. Correct the survivor page by adding the maximal amount of information (times, original artwork, releases etc). 2. After that ask admins to delete duplicated entry. I guess you'd like to do this.

^ And you guessed well ...DONE !
(I had already updated before the one to kill so it was just a matter of copy/paste to the surviving one) EDIT: And duplication deleted (Admins are really super-fast, these days  )Edited by Quinino - September 09 2016 at 04:57 |

Two Frank Zappa releases have been added to his studio albums, yet they are already here under compilations (with ratings and reviews).

http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42260 http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=52773 All three entries (2 by the same guy) point to the same compilation/boxset. None has reviews, so we could well delete 2 of them. Shall I contact admins? What do you think ? |

^ I don't think they are duplications. 17 discs (actually 11CD + 6 DVD-Audio), 4 and 2CD sets are different beasts.

^ Well, to my understanding the reduced editions are selections from the main release.
(Discogs agrees with me, but again what do they know...) It's the first time I see a (tri) duplication like this being intentionally done on this site, but I could be wrong. Edited by Quinino - November 13 2016 at 08:29 |

^ José, imagine we have all editions in one entry and you're reviewing 2CD set - little you may say about 17 discs edition. And vice versa.

Too many reviewers to contact. Some of them don't visit PA for a long time. For example, Bob Easy Livin (Last visit: 5/1/2014). I think forget it.

^ Right, if you agree I'll only add an explanatory note on the duplicated album's page
The others above are being carried out  |
