ComicVine

An online open directory, ala Wikipedia, for Comics.

Comic histories are insanely complex and convoluted, moreso than any other popular entertainment medium. Realize then that the guidelines we've set here are merely an attempt to provide some standard conventions for an industry that has none. Characters often have multiple personas, timelines, allegiances, agendas and god knows what else. Remember, half of the major characters from DC and Marvel have literally come back from the dead a couple times. We KNOW these rules won't cover every scenario out there, so please, if you think there's something we can do to improve the system, let us know. Just please be patient with us, we've tried to make Comic Vine both intuitive, yet flexible enough to cover the chaos of comics.
Trust based user-submission
Comic Vine uses a unique system for content submission that involves heavy moderation for new or anonymous users and gradually opens up more options to the individual user as they continue to submit quality data to the site. Most users can gain live edit access (where submission show up on the site immediately) within a week or two of submitting approved content. Until that time submissions go through a moderation queue that is monitored by the staff, or most likely, volunteer moderators from the community. We try to get to new submissions within 24 hours. You will receive a private message once your submission has been approved or rejected and a history of your submissions can be accessed at anytime from within your profile.
