Oh cool, I hadn't noticed this. I'm sure I'll find it useful at some point.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to anybody and everybody who works on the Encyclopedia. I consult that puppy several times a day - I love it! There is nothing Bochi-Bochi about my appreciation for it.

is there anywhere you can get an "overview" over your own submissions?

Wow, its been a couple of months since I've seen a update from the Encyclopedist. But that is all right, thank you for all your hard work.

Thank you Dan, I'm especially curious to try the precision feature.

Oh thank you! I think I have asked for this once a year for like the past 3 years. At one point the Shelf life columns were all entered in this manner. Then somewhere down the line a few years ago you guys stopped for some reason. Anyway, glad to see that the listing was put back in. Bochi-Bochi! Smile

Thank you for all your hard work. The encyclopedia is the feature that attracted me to ANN, and is the number one reason I return.

Is there any way to view all of your previous error reports? I know I have reported precision errors previously this would be a chance to cancel any outstanding ones and resubmit using the new method.

--edit--

I'm definitely liking this feature, although I now have the problem that there is no way to fully clear or delete error reports, and then there's the problem that "eps 1-3, 6, 8, 10-11, 15-17, 20-24" is over 30 characters..

I also would like to know that. Would be very convenient.

Also one problem I just encountered is that, when trying to include a song title in the "precision" field, if the title starts with "ep" you can't enter it, because the program wants episode numbers after any "ep".

I'm really, really glad for the last one, since it was tedious looking at the number of redundant entries being made (sometimes purposefully). It made the listings look cluttered and messy, and a chore to pour over, but now everything looks neat and orderly and is easier to navigate. The other updates have been great too, especially the streaming episodes links and the hiding of extra summaries/pictures. You've done a very fine job at keeping the Encyclopedia in top condition.

I'm curious; what song title begins with "ep"???

Well they let Dan out of the basement cage they keep him in every few months so he can walk in the daylight heh. A big thanks to him though, and the rest of the encyclopedia staff, for his constant work. Wiki ain't got nothing on Dan and the encyclopedia here heh.

Well, technically Wikipedia does, since a good portion of the time I see them quoting and sourcing things from ANN. Razz
