Hmmm, would it be a mistake to add the cover art of the version of an album which has the same cover art as the other?

If they really the same, it's perfectly OK

Even minor differences make it unsuitable though

What if it's virtually impossible to know because the archives don't have it but it links to another way to get the music which at the time it was linked, it used the same album art?

It sounds probably fine, at a certain point you have to use your best judgement

Two examples of this (one of which is an edit because I didn't think this would be an issue) just for future reference.
I'm trying to tag a dump of ELO music, bit AcoustID isn't working for a significant portion of them, like "Strange Magic". Are a lot of popular songs missing audio fingerprints in the musicbrainz database?

Also I'm not sure if there's an error or not. I select a few files and hit "Scan" and nothing happens or shows up in the status bar.

got it working. I needed to install chromaprint-tools
@CatQuest Thanks. Never had to report anyone before. Yes, that is the same editor.

.. what does "cf." even mean

He is also adding redundant disambiguation with terminology differences from the ETI. Something to with how his tagging software works or because he can do it without any votes. https://beta.musicbrainz.org/edit/71821249

if anything the 4.0 part should be moved to the disambiguation (or I guess "quad mix") for the recordings (the tracktitle should stay as is)
i think I have like *one* sacd thing (some pink floyd thing) but i have no idea how to separate sacd from cd "layer"

(or if the recordings are actually differnt on my release :P)

Yes. CD layer can have discid. SACD layer often has stereo and multichannel. Style guidelines say to include both but it is acceptible to leave the stereo off the SACD layer for convenience. But they should not be removed if someone has added them.

The recordings are likely the same. There are a few SACD releases where there are differences (track list or recordings) between the CD and SACD stereo layer, but it isn't common.

Regular CD players can only play the CD layer. There are usually options on an SACD player to prefer the SACD stereo or Multichannel or even just play the CD laye.
There's some variation for what is considered notable between different wikipedia projects and languages but since the largest ones are fairly strict it ends up impacting Wikidata

E.g. the German one is notorious for being incredibly strict about it
