Aparently their on vacation the last 6 months or so, because when ever I try to add new manga there never added . Also there are mistakes on certain series I like but I don't have the power to correct them I guess if you want something done right you gotta do it yourself.

First, there are many, many titles that have yet to be formally added. When you submit something, it goes to the bottom of the list and the staff will get around to it. As far as joining the Encyclopedia staff, there's no application process or anything, and asking to join probably won't get you anywhere either. For such positions, you don't choose it, you're chosen. There are people with thousands of Encyclopedia submissions who aren't on the staff.

King Mob, don't take this personally, but judging by the grammatical content of your post, I don't think you qualify to be an Encyclopedia Staff member.

For the record: there's no error report submitted by you pending for correction. Furthermore, with only 31 valid submissions (not including one borderline spamming for NTHT) and five posts, we have no idea whether you are suitable for the job or not. |

I don't understand how writing a short explanation in the trivia section about the meaning of the statement that they show before the beginning of every ep of NTHT is considered spamming. If this list you mention is as long as you say it is don't you need more people working on it than? As for the error reporting I didn't bother writing up a report because it can't be easily don't without going into great detail

Okay, since you've started the subject, let's take a look at what you have written:
The first two sentence were basically correct (a better estimate would be ~15 billion years), yet, it's barely related to this title. It's like writing a trivia "Japanese high schools call their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year students ichinensei, ninensei, and sannensei, corresponding 10th, 11th, and 12th grades in American system, respectively" for every campus-themed anime, or "samurai is the Japanese equivalent of European knights, and bushido is roughly the Japanese equivalent of chivalry" for samurai-themed titles. They are facts, but they are just...barely related facts. No need for "master of the obvious" here. Starting from the third sentence ("we as human...") there's no more "trivia" but your personal opinions and feelings after watching this title instead. Writing personal reviews in the trivia section is considered as borderline spam.
We do have been considering recruiting more people, however, like I said in my previous post, you have yet demonstrated your capability. No offense, but with your current record, there are dozens, if not hundreds, more suitable candidates than you. |

Well no one knows for sure how old the earth is also a debate on the subject would be pointless... It never said you couldn't give personal opinions it just that I had to post a fact. You call what I said a review? It's just a comment on the current state of humanity

All of that's a personal opinion. Not saying that it's a bad opinion and that I don't agree with you, but it is an opinion. |

Regardless of which, comments and personal opinions have no place on the Trivia section, King Mob.
BTW, it's spelled Invisible, NOT "Invisable." |

It would be great if the trivia section said that. this is a forum not a article so one shouldn't expect everything to be perfect. thanks grammer Nazi someone told me about that but I decided to keep it that way |

Why? Also, it helps to read the Important Information for Contributors thread before posting anything on the Encyclopedia. |

Actually... some of the staff expect that. I just hope for it. What I expect is idiocy. And I'm seldom disappointed. - abunai |

You must not have been disappointed with the forums much this last week, then. Especially this weekend. |

With rules like that I'll try my best not disturb the perfection of these forum by posting here as little as possiable. I was just so use to most sites like this (manganews & animeinfo) adding submited info within a few hours or days that I thought that you guys were understaffed because I submited the D-ash manga like 3+ months ago as well as one other manga and it's still not up
