Can we see a Discogs style revision history for submissions, and a log of deletions somewhere?

I'm pretty sure there was a submission for Julien Baker's blue Mexican Tele that I contributed to (like a year ago). Now I only see her "Standard Telecaster" listed as being submitted without proof.

Not sure what is going on here, vandalism or did someone ask for it to be removed? I've checked my mail but I don't think I got any notification that anything was wrong with it.

Since it's not possible for any of us to submit an item without a source, nor make an edit that leaves an entry source-less, my assumption is that any entry without a source is the result of a technical/backend/database-transition type of issue. I've been hanging out here a few years now, and I've only seen a couple of instances like this out of tens of thousands of entries.

I haven't heard from anyone on the inside re: what happened here in this specific case, but regardless, I'm sorry to see this happened to your entry. All of your other entries are very carefully-crafted and on-point. You put a lot of work and thought into your submissions (thank you, seriously, thank you), which makes the loss that much worse.

Do you know if the source you used for this blue Tele still exists? Any chance you'd be able to edit this submission and bring it back to its former state?

Yeah, no problem. I more or less remembered the details so knew what to Google for. I might have had another link to an interview in there or something originally, but I think all of the info that was there is basically restored now.

Makes sense that this was a glitch of some sort, otherwise it would probably still have some contributors listed and I would have been notified of the changes, right?

Good to hear it wasn't anything I did wrong, thanks for the kind words.

Exactly. The entry's edit logs only go back 2 months. Every edit anyone had ever made would be in the logs (Artist page > Artist gear entry > Edit This Submission) if entry's data was still in an organic/uncorrupted state.

No problem. Thanks for circling back, and thanks for the new submission today. :)

Or something like wikipedia's log (lol)
