Thanks for offering your assistance. We greatly appreciate it. The best way to help, would be besides getting more people to come to the site(always a good thing), would be to feel free to enter information into the encyclopedia.

We're very much wanting ANN to be the one stop site for information about anime. One of the things I've been doing lately is adding company information and events.

One area the the encyclopedia could use assistance in is enterting information about manga. Information about what company is releasing what, who's the creator, translator, etc..

I'm sure Dan or Chris will respond as well with how you can help. Just find something you'd like to see be more complete on the site, and then start doing it.

Then you can be listed on this page for your contributions to ANN.

I'll echo what Isaac said: Just find something you'd like to see be more complete on the site, and then start doing it.

The encyclopedia was made as a system where users can freely enter information, so if you know something which isn't in there, feel free to add it. Episode counts are always a good thing; you can't possibly go wrong with factual information. Pictures and summaries can be a bit tricky though, make sure you read what kind of summaries and pictures we're looking for when you go to enter one. The lexicon could also use more entries, but writing up 200+ word entries isn't that easy.

You can also help by posting your suggestions about the site here. If there's something that you feel would make the site better, it's likely that other people would feel the same way. It hadn't occured to me to make the MyAnime lists sortable by rating, but when people suggested that, it didn't take me long to realize it was a good idea. I still haven't done it, but it *is* in my ToDo list Anime smile
