-====About stating the obvious sources====
+====Do not "state the obvious" when citing 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.
+# Do not state the source when the source is highly obvious and/or it is easily figured out; this is done to reduce clutter in release notes.<br>The most common arrangement currently prevalent in fansub groups (the "default arrangement") is as follows. Their sources should not be credited unless it's deemed necessary to do so, such as the use of a source atypical for the fansub group.
-** 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.)
+## Established English fansub groups (e.g. [FFF], [Commie], [Vivid], [GJM], [DameDesuYo], etc.) almost exclusively use JP BDs and/or DVDs for raws for their non-HDTV, non-www releases.
-* 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.)
+## Established dual audio release groups (e.g. [CBM], [DHD], etc.) almost exclusively US DVDs and/or BDs for audio, and very commonly for video raws; JP BDs and/or DVDs are sometimes used for video raws.
-* 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.
+# If a given group's releases differ from the default arrangement, but the group consistently releases in a given format for a significant portion of their releases, a default note should be added to the group's description '''instead''' of repeating the same note in each of that group's releases. See [[https://anidb.net/g6269 DmonHiro]]'s group page for an example.
+# For groups that specialize in only releasing raws ([Ohys-Raws], [Leopard-Raws], etc.), only HDTV/www sources should be credited
+## DVD/BD sources should be credited only if deemed necessary. For example:
+### Multiple BD releases from different providers;
+### Modifications to raws, such as if the group replaced the original BD/DVD audio with HDTV/www audio due to low audio quality or corruption; etc.
+# For groups that issues releases with an extensive variety of different sources ([Hark0n], [deanzel], [EUR], etc.), the release note should be as detailed as possible, so long as the note follows the most current standards.
 ====Standard forms of TV channel and streaming service names to be used in raw source comments====
