How about not restricting the amount of times companies can be list? For example Bakugan Battle Brawlers was released in Canada in French and English by Vivendi on DVD (along with Beyblade by Sony Wonder, and Spiders Riders by Vivendi). But I can't add them to the French staff because they've been listed in the English staff. Nor can I list Nelvana for the production of the French dubs because they've been credited for the English ones.

Regarding the titles lacking information, isn't the title display a bit indicative of the state of the encyclopedia entry? like if it has a lot of info, it would be in blue bold letters, and if not, it is just normal, and it gets darker (and thinner) the less info it has? On a different note, would it be possible to add a discussion thread link right on the encyclopedia entry (like "discuss this in the forums" or something.) the box on top which contains This title is in Seen all You rated this anime Very good etc could add "would you like to discuss this in the forums?" and hyperlink it to jump to the "official" discussion thread. It might help increase participation in the forums from people like me who usually just go to ANN to check out the encyclopedia entries. (I make it a point to go to the forums now though.  )

when adding information (such as plot or themes) is it possible to add a "justification" or "explanation" requirement instead of just the source? I've seen many entries that say "watched the anime", but watching the anime sometimes isn't enough (esp. when adding trivia).

Hello
Encyclopedia is best in all section. But i am preferred to use Wikipedia instead of encyclopedia. Sometime encyclopedia goes to different topics. |

 I wasn't sure where to post this error...
Just a small error in anime G list... I tried to add the Gravitation: Lyrics of Love (OAV) to my anime list, but when you select it in the anime section you get the listing for the manga (OVA)...  a link got mixed up?
thanks, mommi~ mommidono

Just a couple suggestions I wanted to throw out there:
-It would be good if you could switch between displaying people/companies works by date as well as by name. -The 'compare' function is very cool but a bit tough to use. It would be much better if you could have a checklist of things to compare and not compare. Also, it would be a lot easier if you could add anime to your compare list just by checking them off and then clicking a button in my anime. |

Found the above from a few years back, and this was what I was about to suggest. Bumping it back up, but also giving my suggestion about implementation: (forgive me if I use the wrong terminology) For roles in anime, you can enter precisions. This is how the "main" characters are at the top, followed by the "secondary" characters, and then everyone else. My suggestion would be for a similar field to be placed in the trivia submission page. Precision could be either "general" (or a symbol or something), or an episode number. When viewing the trivia page, anything marked with the precision "general" would be displayed first (like with the "main" characters section), and anything marked with an episode number would be listed below that, in order of the episode. Anything that's submitted without a precision would be listed below this. The one problem with this, would be where to put trivia that, while not being "general" trivia, appears in more than one episode. An example that I noticed this morning is on the Death Note trivia page (sorry, no link), in that the song "Nightmare" (1st ED) appears in multiple episodes, as an actual part of the episode (I noticed trivia that it's ringtones in 2 separate episodes/trivia entries). One option would be to have it entered as two separate trivia, one for each entry, or the other would be to have it listed under the first episode it appears in, but including the other episodes. |

Regarding the above:
I think something close to what you want could be achieved simply by sorting all the trivia alphabetically rather than by order of submission. Here's why: Many of the trivia pages already have a sort of organizational scheme to them. For example, many follow a certain format like "In Episode X, (Maybe Title of Episode,) you can see this thing that does some stuff..." This way everything would be organized into chronologicalish order. Then we would be left with the random trivia that does not apply to a single episode. These bits of knowledge would all then fall in line above or below the chronological part. If the submission guidelines outlined how the trivia should be worded, then going forward we could achieve some measure of structure. This would also make it easier for Dan to move this information into a more in-depth system later down the line if he so chooses. Here is something I've been thinking about: At work I'm used to collaborating with my co-workers on all sorts of projects. If somebody asks me about the small part that I did, I answer their question as best as I can and if they point out some way that what I did could be improved, changed or corrected, I try to do it. Why can't this mentality work here? Suppose there was a team of quasi-editors here who could see who submitted information, but couldn't change it. They then would be able to PM the original contributor about their information rather than merely submit an error report. If it's something simple, such as a spelling error, importance change then the OC could just edit their own submission rather than involving editors' time (who are prolific enough contributors that their time would be just as well, or even better, spent submitting new information). I know I would be willing to take advice on my submissions. Perhaps these quasi-editors could be picked by the current editors, or there could be a submission threshold, or a threshold to flag somebody to give approval. But then again, I might be underestimating the number of people who would be willing to listen, willing to talk, and the amount of time this could save the editing staff... |

Can the ANN reviewers and their reviews be added to the Encyclopedia? We all have a reviewer or two that we side with and it'd be very helpful to have that person's reviews on one page.

No, no, no. I'm talking about a single page that has all the reviews done by a single reviewer. Like how a voice actor's page has all of the roles they've done.
So, if I were to search 'Theron Martin' the first link that pops up goes to his page that has all of his reviews. |

That would be a suggestion to the editorial instead of the encyclopedia, then.

...but I'm asking if they (reviewers) can be added to the encyclopedia as people. Just a page with links to all the reviews a reviewer has done is what I'm looking for. Look at it like this: If reviewers were in the encyclopedia, I could go to Theron's page, for example, see all the reviews he's written and then click on a link that takes me to the review of his I want to read. It'd be very similar to thelist of reviews, except there would be separate pages for for the separate reviewers. |

I'm all but positive that question has been asked before. For now, you can get a list of reviews by a specific reviewer like so.
