Some dumping questions

Hi, I'm new to the Redump project.  I've been using it for about a week now to verify alot of my backups.  I've been wanting to submit some dumps to the database, but I'm not sure I entirely understand what warrants submitting a dump.  Obviously a game that is not already in the database should be submitted, but when does a game need more dumps?  Is there a point where a disc doesn't need anymore dumps to be sufficiently verified?  What do the different status indicators mean?  I'm sure this information should be readily available, but I can't find anything despite searching the site and forums.  If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Welcome, bcrew1375!

You may find some dumping guides here:
https://redump.info/guide/
https://wiki.redump.info/index.php?title=Dumping-Guides
More info you may easy find on this forum.

What do the different status indicators mean?

Yellow - possible bad dump (must be redumped).
Blue - one dumper (must be verify).
Green - two or more dumpers (good dump).

I found the guides already.  I've have to be blind to miss those Image.  I couldn't seem to find anything about the colors though.  I tried searching "disc status" and "status indicators" and got nothing.  I realize now that hovering over the indicators gives a description of them Image.  Thanks for the info.
