I'm curious as to what type of info people choose to enter into the encyclopedia. I prefer to input the following information.

1. Events
2. Company websites, corporate info
3. People's official websites
4. Finding manga titles licensed by companies.
5. Official websites for anime or manga titles.

I've entered extremely high amounts of seiyuu data and a sizeable number of staff and episode titles. A few other things here and there (episode counts, op and ed themes) but mostly those first three.

Usually, the only thing that I am astute enough to take note of is the series summary. It's also fun to keep track of voice actors and actresses, but other people like to fill in that data early.

I add anything I can, except the summary, although almost all the shows I've seen have pretty much all the data entered in them.

Recently I've been translating and entering seiyuu and staff info for many of the October anime. And the episode names too I suppose.

I try to enter episodes, volume names, staff, and official websites. I try not to enter the summary, because I don't want to make a mistake in the summary istake which would probably happen for me.

I just submitted an Error report on a piece of Read or Die OVA trivia (read: significant plot spoiler), and did a couple Error reports several months ago on the age rankings of Betterman & Rurouni Kenshin (kindly explaining that a "Teenage" rating would be more befitting of them than "Older Children"). I tried to submit episode titles for the Read or Die OVA, but in checking over the DVD could find none. Oh well. Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop

I did just input some trivia in the Rurouni Kenshin section, though. Namely the pieces about Hajime Saitou and characters based on Shinsengumi members.

Hmmm I've done a lot for the Inuyasha anime Encyclopedia section. I added the first 50 espisodes for japanese romaji titles,then I added the English titles for 127-132. For Genres for the 2nd IY movie I put in Supernatural, Romance,Drama, Shounen and Fantasy,fixed the age rating(for the series),I suggested to add the anime 3rd IY movie Tenka Hadou no Ken,also the premire date too and I think thats everything thus far. Not bad eh?

I enjoy adding names from credits and contents to the encyclopedia. I've added lots of other tidbits like pictures and voice actor information. Last week or so I added my first summary. It was for the manga Shaolin Sisters. Go enjoy it!

I like to pick anime/manga that don't have much info on it and research the title and then add in the info. I've added a few manga into the database, such as some of Kaori Yuki's work and a couple of others I've enjoyed reading.

I love doing research. Anime smallmouth

Hours on the computer. Shocked

Cool I find anything I can using different search engines and going into site's links and such. Sometimes I won't find much info on a particular title, but I try. If I find a good site I'll link it. But alot of manga I help input info are scanlated, so I can't add those kind of links.Anime smallmouth Also another good way is to ask on forums.Anime smile
