If you mean the 1999 RTS Homeworld, there are scans of pages 107 through 109 of the manual submitted as proof. But you are right, what is posted on MobyGames differs even from that info.

There were three different submissions that updated those credits.
2nd and 3rd had manual scans as source, but the 1st one is when Wes Eckhart was added. However, that submissions had no source and it was done on January 14th, 2000, which is when site still had less than 1000 games or so, less than a year after MobyGames was created, and back then we didn't require source for anything.
In that very first submission, only these credits were added...
Original Concept: David J. Williams Lead Design: Erin Daly Design: Adam Bullied, Quinn Duffy Lead Programming: Luke Moloney Programming: Jason Dorie, Drew Dunlop, Keith Hentschel, Bryce Pasechnik, Falko Poiker, Gary Shaw, Darren Stone Music / Sound Programming: Shane Alfreds, Myriam Joire Lead Artist: Aaron Kambeitz Graphics / Artwork: Wes Eckhart, Andy Lang, Kelly O'Hara, Erin Olorenshaw, Arthur Shimizu, David T. Cheong Sound: Paul Ruskay, Roger Savoie Art Director: Rob Cunningham Documentation: Rob Cunningham, Thomas Graham, Aaron Kambeitz Executive Producer: Ron Moravek Producer: Curtis Terry Director: Alex Garden Writing / Dialogue / Story: Martin Cirulis Acting / Voiceovers: Brian Arnold, Heidi Ernest, Ian James Corlett, Campbell Lane, Tina Savoie, David Sobolov, Michael Sunczyk, Jason Wingham, Lucas Wolf Undetermined: Frank Roberts Special Thanks: Vangelis
Not sure the source of those credits, since one of the job titles is called "Undetermined". Not sure how valid are they. Do you know if any of these are incorrect? Best way would be to compare it to in-game credits which are probably much more complete.

A lot of the names in that list do not match up with the game credits.

I doubt we can ask user for clarification of that 18 year old submission, but it all points that the source is unreliable or incorrect. Should I reject that first submission of credits?
I could just edit the credits submission and delete specific names that are incorrect and leave those that are correct? Which would be a better solution?

That's also a way to go if there are things to add, and not just delete. If there are only things to delete from that first submission (you have the list of it in earlier post in this thread), all you need is point to names which needs to be deleted and approvers can do that more quickly.
