In SI or American units?

SI (as written in the instructions). After all this is for idol info, and that's always given in SI.

I've submitted a handful of relationship information (these two people are married, this one is that one's mother, these two are siblings...) via Other information, but sometimes I see marriages entered through Chronology. Do you have a preference?

A marriage is entered in [Chronology] when the date is known, otherwise it's in [About]

I take it from the entry form that the correct format to use in the staff credits is:
Insert Song ( )
filling in ( ) with Lyrics, Composition, Arrangement, or Performance

But I've tended to use (and I have seen others use):
Inserted Song ( )

Even though I've used the latter, I think the shorter form is probably better (and since it's used with the new infotype too...), so it possible to alias the Inserted Song ( ) positions to show as Insert Song ( )?

I'd stick with Insert Song, as it should a two-word noun, not a noun with a pp-adjective.
