OK: Supposing that you make a contribution and you discover that something about it is either incomplete or just plain wrong. What is the best way to fix the error / omission?

Do you resubmit only the part that was wrong with the corrected information, or,

Do you resubmit images and complete profile with the correct information?

Does it matter the time in between the submission of the wrong and right information?

Many thanks in advance.

There is no mourning period for prior submissions. 

If the contribution is still up for a vote you can simply resubmit. The old submission notes are still in the history but you erase the votes and submission and get a "do over".

If the old submission has been Approved then simply resubmit corrections and explain why.

I've caught errors when accepting the Approved change (based on my submission) and immediately submitted a correction.

If something is wrong it is wrong and the sooner the corrections are made the better.

If as Tweeter says the contribution is still up for a vote, you'll have to submit the complete profile with the correct errors.  If you were to resubmit only the part that was wrong (your first choice above), you will lose the rest of your contribution.
