(Random?) Bug creating new entries with duplicates in the database in certain conditions

I was surprised I got partially rejected for "game exists" for a game that didn't exists when I went through some PS1/PS2 entries. But then I tried to see why and realized there were two entries one after the other, for example: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/128955 and https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/128956.  Then I thought that I've seen this pattern before. And the only thing I can think of, is that I probably went back with my browser to re-enter the game's name (It's not that easy to find the Japanese name - since there are options on how to write them! :D) and by doing that it seems the database made a duplicate entry, but without the images I had uploaded. Could someone check/confirm?


EDIT: On a side-note while checking this, I would also want to make a wish to moderators that please double check the information you moderate and from as many sources as possible, especially from dedicated websites (not just MobyGames whose publisher data and regions are sometimes questionable). For example I was stunned that I got rejections as "Game Exists" for https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/128210 saying that it exists as entry https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/111855. I know both Commodore 64 and Commodore Amiga very well, and I'm 100% sure that these are two completely different platforms! In doubt, please choose "SKIP for next 24hrs" instead. I certainly do that when I'm not familiar with the content. Thank you.
