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 don't know what I did wrong.

^ 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 thishttp://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.

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.

http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=17256

It's a duplication of this one (the one to retain)

http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=17198

Only difference being the cover art

PLEASE DELETE (want me to report Admin? Please confirm you agree)

^ 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. Smile

^ 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 Big smile )

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.

^ 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.

I can see no difference except the titles, and you?

(I will contact Finnforest and Mellotron Storm about the reviews if you OK me)

It's also necessary to contact Zargus (Last visit December 1, 2016).

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 Geek
