Not to mention its the contributors that actually have added the data. Without it, the site wouldn't exist.
On a side note, please make your signature as text, images aren't allowed.

As Josephson said, it helps the readability of the site. A lot of sites allow graphic signatures, but most of them have the option to hide them. We wouldn't have that option on this forum software.

you guys have me all worried about the additions I made to discogs now haha.
they must be making a pretty penny though - I mean Ebay are tied into discogs aren't they
you type in a barcode when you sell a CD, its discogs that it pulls the info from...we put that info into discogs...discogs making some kind of royalty from the API?
for a second I thought to myself "hell, we should be getting somthing back in return for all that help!"
then I remembered that what we get in return is a massive free-to-use database of music hehe!

Lol how?
Anal deletionists occupy sites other than Wikipedia, sadly. If I recall he was banned for submitting releases that "don't exist."
I personally stopped editing Discogs a while back after another user decided to set out on a vendetta against me and had over half of the changes I had made reverted. I complained to the admins about it and was told "if the album isn't physically in your hands, it doesn't exist."
I tried to make contributions after that but the other editor watched my contributions like a hawk and would revert them nine times out of ten despite them adhering to the above rule... oh, and site staff still sided with him too.
actually they did exist, it was just that cuz certain people hadnt heard of them they decided in their own minds that they must be made up. i provided photos & soundclips as proof & a couple of people also said they had them too. so after that i closed my account & stopped submitting on there
Wow, I've been relying on discogs.com for album info for the past few years. Didn't expect it to be run by ignorant pricks. Now I finally understand why the info on the site is so outdated right now when it comes to hardcore releases. XD

Discogs allows images to be uploaded. Very easy to show prove of existance. Unless it's a bootleg, or white label.
But when it comes to Wikipedia, it's somewhat understandable. I've heard how many times DJ Sharpnel has been added and removed because they didnt have a proper release out. But then Wikipedia is overflowed with information that could easily have been on another website dedicated to that matter.

Funny. that's what I just meant. Let detailed stuff like that exist on a DEDICATED space. An Encyclopedia (which wikipedia is trying to be) Is supposed to only contain the most noteworthy of details, or a summary as wikipedia itself descibes an Encyclopedia :P

If it's like that, then ofcourse i'd say its wrong, but just for fun sake, do you have any images uploaded so I can see?
