====About stating the obvious sources==== | |||
* In cases where the source can easily be figured out, it shouldn't be listed at all in order to reduce the clutter. Some examples of this case, but not limited to, are well-known, established English fansub groups such as FFF, Commie, Vivid, GJM, DameDesuYo, etc. which most of the time use JP BDs and/or DVDs for raws, and relatively older dual audio release groups such as CBM, DHD, etc., which use US DVDs and/or BDs for raws. Therefore, their sources shouldn't be credited unless it's deemed necessary to do so. | |||
** If most of certain group's releases are similarly structured and different from default ones mentioned above, default note can be added to the group's description.<br>(Check [https://anidb.net/g6269 DmonHiro]'s page for example.) | |||
* For groups that specialize in releasing raws only (Ohys-Raws, Leopard-Raws, etc.), only HDTV/www sources should be credited, while DVD/BD ones only if deemed necessary. (If there are multiple BD releases from different providers, if BD/DVD audio was replaced with HDTV/www audio due to low audio quality or corruption, etc.) | |||
* For groups which releases feature a plethora of different sources (Hark0n, deanzel, EUR, etc.), it is encouraged to make as detailed as possible release notes, as long as they follow the most up-to-date standards. | |||
