That's not nitpicking, that's correcting errors.

Please post any errors you find here:

Thanks!

A little off topic, not missing info - but what's the official process for flagging up any mistakes?

Only I spotted 'Star Wars: Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan - The Auro[u]r[/u]ient Express' is missing it's 2nd 'r' - not a massive error, but I put that particular part into the search and obviously it didn't find the title.

Cheers (and sorry to nit-pick!):)

A request for users to be able to add multiple writers etc to a comic was made a couple of years back. It on the 'to do' list. It's especially important for comics which contained more than one story.

Sorry for the delay in getting new data approved. We are putting more people like Argus on this to help Al.

OK, I'm (slowly) adding information as I'm rebagging issues (Thor & Hulk at the moment)

to the writer/artist/inker fields (and covers when I know for sure). The problem is, there

is only a place for one of each, and some issues (hulk 218 for instance) has two writers,

two 'illustrators' an 'embellisher' and a 'colorist'. Which person goes where? Which of the

above is the 'inker'? Arrrg... I'm so confused!

Anyone have any clues?

Fair enough! I'll put in 4-5 tonight, and let
you know when I've completed them. Thanks
a ton for the help argus!

I didn't notice any bullpen items from you when I looked. Please don't give up.Why don't you put one in and PM me, and I will at least look to see if it is making it across to the approval screen. I only recently got access to look at pending requests.

I can't approve them, but I can verify that they show up.

Thanks!

Alrighty, I was holding off on filing the Thor's until I got
a response, but I need to move on. I'm going to take
silence as a negative and proceed to other titles. I'll
have them organized and will be able to get to them easily
if/when I need to later on.

I think it would be a great project.

I don't have the necessary permissions to check to see if your requests are currently in there still. Perhaps an admin could just take a quick peek and let you know if they are still pending?

Being recently made a moderator, I see more of how much time being an admin (unpaid, BTW) takes up. There are truly many things being worked on, and these people have jobs/families/group therapy sessions, whatever. So my advice from earlier still stands.

Be patient.

(But, a quick confirmation your stuff is still in the cue would probably be more reassuring to you.)

Another bump. I'm adding my early Thors and noticed that
none of them have Writer/artist/inker information [I know
the majority of them are Lee/Kirby, but some of the inkers
and stuff is different]. I would love to enter this, but don't
want to waste my time if it isn't ever going to get posted.
Can bneely or someone let me know if this is a project I
should take on.

Thanks!

OK, just want to know if it would be a waste of time to plug in the info. I'm slowly working through
my 10Kish comics and re-bagging/boxing, and I'd like to help where I could. Since I have to put my
hand on every issue, it would be a good opportunity to get whatever info I could from them.

You are following the process correctly then. I do not have access to the database to check on that for you, so hopefully an admin can chime in here.

What is the correct process for updating missing information? I filled in some blanks
I saw in the db, but it gave me a message about 'when the info is verified' and after
a couple of weeks, there is still only the [u]ADD[/u] link for the fields.
