There's a magazine section and then there's "not manga but related" Why not catogorized it into Manwha instead.

A lot of manga being release here like Nambul War Stories & Yongbi the Invincible and many more are not in the Encyclopedia. Are manwha not important?

All "not manga but related" are not manwha, so turning that section into a manwha section doesn't really make sense. Anyway, for this site I think it's a "no" to if manwha are important or not. They recognize a connection to manga though, so that's why it's in the not manga but related section.

The magazine section is in there because there are tons of anime magazines out there, and also in Japan most manga are serialized in magazines.

No. the manga section would have to be waaaaaay more complete than it is before we think about adding extending our efforts to manwha.

Maybe you can add an encyclodist to help that will focus on manwha. The trend of manwha is exploding with Tokyopop, ADV & CMP licensing and releasing more. I only suggest because it seem more people are interested in it, yet it's lacking. Ironic that manga like Samurai Champloo on it's first volume and not being release here have an information page while manwha which are licensed and on thier 8th volume here are not.

Well hopefully one day we can get a list of manwha being release here. Just a suggestion.
