I regularly run across song writing discrepancies between (e.g.) images on the actual related releases and official sources (e.g. ASCAP). This is a constant source of irritation for me, as I tend to default to the credits printed on the relevant releases while SHS seems to default to ASCAP, etc. Two recent examples:
While I understand that some decision has to be made based on a preferred source, I would also think that when there are such discrepancies between two or more strong sources, they need to be noted publicly in the comments. Such a policy would not only memorialize the findings but would also serve to mitigate against error reports on those questions.
