Welcome to the List of Earth-like Worlds! You can find the new version of the list at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12WDcf8DV63_5mJ9kZkJ0MrpinXZhoV6u9_n_nsu19fM/edit?usp=sharing. The explanation of the changes can be found in this post.
The previous version of the list, which is no longer updated, but includes some counts, charts and such which have since been removed, can still be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wo53h4TkUTTRNzkup6HAKpFe0hAtX82HNc4h33bTRaE/edit?usp=sharing
Now, the important information for submitting entries. Please use EDJP, or upload to the public spreadsheet (here), or this example form for submitting your entries:
To use it, copy-paste and edit the following code:
If none of the above are used, and you just list the names of ELWs, I won't be adding them.
Contrary to before, it's fine if you add an entry without a screenshot if the ELW has been uploaded to EDSM. However, if you wish to be verified as the first discoverer of the planet(s) in question, please submit a screenshot that includes text which shows that the planet is Earth-like, preferrably a system map shot with the planet info. If there's no screenshot, just the EDSM entry, then the first discoverer will be marked as unverified, and you'll be listed as the contributor. (Submissions with no screenshots and the ELWs not uploaded to EDSM won't be added.)
If you'd like to add your entries into a spreadsheet yourself, to make it easier and faster for me to add them, please go to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FvE1qKIvZY9_pgvD9FwLPP6YMLeka6kHyt4F3W51Se4/edit?usp=sharing. After you add stuff there, do notify me please so that I don't accidentally miss it! Also, if you'd like to have your separate sheet there that only you can edit, let me know and I'll set that up for you.

Notes on the sheet:
- If you decide to post your finds here, I won't be removing them later on request. Note that this only applies to finds made after 2017. Jun. 25, as that was when I made this clear.
- Incomplete submissions will still be listed (on a separate sheet), but will not have a rarity score nor will they be used in the calculations.
- If the "Submitted by" entry is empty, that means it was submitted by the first discoverer.
- Only Earth-like worlds are counted, water worlds or any other planet types are not.
- Earth-likes in inhabited systems at the time of their submission do not count. To qualify, the system must have allegiance type 'None' on the galaxy map. Earth-likes that were colonized some time after they were added to the list won't be removed, just noted as such.
- Once I've added your post to the list, I'll notify (and also thank) you by adding rep, unless I can't.
- An explanation of how the rarity score is calculated can be found in this post and some changes in this later one as well.
- If you find any errors, please let me know!
Sources and contributions beyond submitting entries:
- Glyn-ie, for creating the original list and also for suggestions on this one
- MattG for lots of things, including the map mentioned above and providing help (ideas, troubleshooting) with the rarity score calculation
- Jackie Silver for work on decoding the proc. gen system names and helping determine approximate in-sector positions for them
- Albreicht, for help with maintaining the list for some time
- SpocksOddSocks, for looking up the regions of lots of the non-procedural systems
- Myser, for some initial editing and testing
- Everybody who submitted entries to the list - see them on the "Submitters" sheet!
