Just curious, what's the usual turnaround for error reports that have been submitted? I submitted some error reports for [url=anime#6907]Deltora Quest[/url] about a week ago, and one of them (episode title correction) has appeared as an alternate title in the 2nd column (don't know if that was from me submitting it or someone else), and none of the others have had any response.

Someone is submitting inaccurate (or flat-out wrong) information as trivia, and I want to know if I should keep submitting error reports for them, or wait until the ones I already submitted are taken care of.

Some reports are dealt with within one day, if a staff member happens to stumble upon it, and it's easy to handle (e.g. plain wrong information with one or more reliable sources to support the statement), others can take months.

Some error reports might be correct, but if checking the correctness of that error report takes too much time, it's often left untouched until someone can give additional sources to support that claim.
In the end, all error reports are looked at, but it may take some time.

Regarding your error reports for Deltora quest, this concerns 5 reports on wrong titles. Therefor, you need a staff member who can at least read japanese correctly, and not all of us can do that (I can't do it anyway).

And please continue to submit errors, even before the ones already submitted are taken care of. You might forget them, and if noone else notices, they may never be corrected.

heh... most of them are either wrong information on the trivia page, or inconsistancies with naming from the books (and one mistranslation)

I think it was the "alternate title" that showed up for "Endon and Jarred" that confused me, since I did submit the error of mis-romanicization.
