GUIDELINES / UNICODE CHARACTERS
Replaced the small number 2 with correct size one as per Guidelines 1.9.1 (Use Unicode characters)

When not using 'Written-By' to tag, here's an example of how to use 'Written By' instead in a release. The credits are not tagged against a tracklisting but instead are tagged in the Credits section ... https://www.discogs.com/Keni-Burke-Changes/release/892528

Info on runout grooves (version 8)
... https://www.discogs.com/forum/thread/810326
Additional guidance
... https://www.discogs.com/group/thread/809347
Example of one both etched and stamped
... https://www.discogs.com/Freestylers-Featuring-Tenor-Fly-B-Boy-Stance/release/58213
Example showing the 3 'dots' in a pyramid shape in a runout
... https://www.discogs.com/release/1201509-The-Intruders-Energy-Of-Love
Example text to state when editing a release (these are regulars in runouts)
... Added Lacquer Cut At and By according to etching on Side A's runout, and as per guidelines in group thread 809350 / POUNDA TA1PE
... Added Lacquer Cut By (or) Plated By [Eddy Gorecki] = [EG], as visible on variant nnn
MPO logo specific (use text in notes like below) and note that the ® doesn't always appear
... The runout info is hand etched apart from the MPO logo (and stamper numbers that follow it) which are laser etched
... Use the format "[MPO logo]® NN ######" where the NN is the stamper year and also add Pressed By MPO into LCCN

Info to add to notes when ▽420 ? is in a runout (there are lots, so be accurate - below uses P as an example)
... ▽420 P in runouts (there is a space before the P) translates as:
▽420 = Pressed By, PRS Ltd.
P = Lacquer Cut At, PRT Studios
Info on this is available using https://www.discogs.com/group/thread/809508 then Ctrl-F to search with 420 P in the search box, then go to instance 2 of 2.

MERGING
... Use left hand side as the one to remain, right hand side as the one to copy from
... Use text to state reasoning - be accurate! (All data, images etc from RHS is moved to release on LHS)

TRACK DURATIONS NOT STATED
... Track durations are not stated on this release but have been timed using ???? directly from the CD / LP

MULTIPLE 'Published By' CREDITS APPLY (plus splitting out band members/performers etc)
... Here's a good example ... https://www.discogs.com/Millie-Jackson-Live-And-Outrageous-Rated-XXX/release/1846988

ADDING ADDITIONAL ARTISTS to the title of an album
... Use this example The Jeff Lorber Fusion Guest Artists: Chick Corea & Joe Farrell - Soft Space
