Crop Cricles I first appeared in Germany as a bonus expansion shrinkwrapped to the Carcassonne base game in 2009, and was later available directly from the publisher Hans im Glück in 2010.

Yes I know, what I am asking is why isn't it then stated as first released in 2009?

Because it wasn't available as a standalone mini until 2010.

Is that a requirement for an expansion to be released in a standalone form to be considered released for the first time?
If so, why is it not applied everywhere? For example Shrines and Heretics is correctly stated to: Heretics and Shrines (or Shrines and Heretics) was originally released by Hans im Glück in 2007 as part of Count, King and Robber. ; despite being only released as a standalone in 2008.

I think the Crop Circle page should include a sentence similar to the one in S&H page. Something like: "Crop Circles I was originally released by Hans im Glück in 2009 included with the base game in some German versions of the game. It was later made available as a standalone expansion in 2010."
That is, after all, the year it was first available and actually first released.

    There is a something interesting I have noticed in the Historical perspective of scoring  page, more specifically in the
A summary of changes over time section. The entire page only takes german and english publishers into consideration and the information reflects that. However, publishers in different countries have editions not corresponding to those present in the A summary of changes over time section. For example a Czech/Slovak edition from circa 2002/2003 has the following configurations (following the format of the section):

    Scoreboard – 50 points, brown
    Small (2-tile) City – 2 points
    Farmer – stands up (tip: place farmer lying down)
    Farmer scoring – 2nd edition[/li][/list]

I propose to include a disclaimer on the page regarding this issue, something like "The information about release differences is derived from german and english editions only and does not necessarily relfect the situation in countries with different publishers."

Thanks for the heads-up.

I added a disclaimer with a similar idea. Let me know if it works for you.

That seems appropriate. Great, thanks! There are in fact other similar cases in the expansion rules such as different points of meeple vs figure distinction recognition or small city score. I suspect those all stem from the source used for translation of the rules and subsequent consistency.

One notable thing (which I am not sure if present in any other publishers or languages) is that Czech/Slovak C1 Exp. 8 rules, constituted the first time the 2-point small city was changed into 4-point small city - and even then the wording implied it was only to be used when playing with that expansion (presumably to make the decision between grabbing the city or converting to castle something actually worth considering).
I could go on and on about these curiosities, but it is no longer relevant - every C2 release is up to date with the 3rd edition rules and figure vs follower distinction.

A small typo on the page of Scout expansion for H&G footnote 9:
Question: Once I have placed the hut on the Agriculture tile, can anyone place a hunter in that meadow? Answer: No. But of course you may connect two (ore more) meadows later in the game, as usual. Then you could have a hut getting points for the size of the meadow and a hunter scoring for the animals.

I've just found a couple minor typos in the German Castles page, in the section concerning Dragon movement:

"The dragon affects the whole tile when it lands on it, but it may represents to steps in its movement."

"Represent" has an "s" added to it, and the wrong "two" is used.

The River page contains the following typo at the begginning: The 1st. Edition of River was release in 2001.
The sentence should read: The 1st. Edition of River was released in 2001.
