 ===== Gathering and Submitting Dump Info (Detailed) =====
+The more information that can be gathered about a dump the better. If you want to provide more details than the bare minimum found in the [[submission:general|general dump info]], then please take a look at the section below.
+Reminder: Not all the information below is required, but if you can help fill gaps in the information submitted then it helps the preservation community as a whole.

 General Note: If you are submitting this info to a person/group in order for them to add it to a database, you can skip the transcription of some things, and leave it to them. But it can make the process smoother if you do the transcription yourself. Also, things that are derived from the ROM image itself can be skipped if its a known hash.
+  * **Dump release date**: For public releases of prototypes (etc)
   * **Link(s)**: Link to dump/release post/page, if applicable.
   * **Languages/Language Select**: Some games either show a language selection screen at startup or in the game options. Note that it is possible to submit a game without checking the languages, but this then needs to be stated in your submission.
