I think I've done some things in seperate edits. Sorry about that guys. I'll do that no more!
EDIT
Can I just clarify - the "Why Should We Add This?" is just a quick note to the mods right? It doesn't need perfect grammar too does it? Because I've just been quickly typing in a quick reason for it's addition.
"I have submissions that re coming to the 24 hour mark and they still haven't been checked. Are you short of support or something because it's really taking a long time"
Think how many people are posting submissions at the moment dude. It's no rush really - just keep editing away and your earlier stuff will get approved eventually. They will catch up, but it's going to take them a while.
Ive got stuff that's 1 day old, I'm just slightly confused cos last night i added some images which were moderated within minutes and now it seems like its been all day.
Sounds good, it actually keeps people in check and is a good way to have a few posts here and there and to make the content in posts more interesting. Very nice.
You guys are in some serious help for moderators, I can tell. If there is anything I can do to be a part of that, please let me know. I know you guys are overwhelmed by the new site, but the boards are going to hell fast, I would be glad to put my experience to use. Let me know when its an appropriate time to step forward.

Yeah, same here. My submissions only seem to get through when staff is online. This would imply submissions are handled on a last-come first-serve basis, which is the worst idea ever, because then my stuff won't get accepted for another week, if not more.
If all my uploads and edits were accepted, I should've had like 3000 points right now. If they just would've accepted my stuff and given me 1000 points, they wouldn't have to worry about me anymore. I wanna edit a lot of pages, but I don't like the idea of having to wait for my edits to go live (what if I put an hour of work into writing an article from scratch and someone else beats me to it?), so I've been spamming screenshots first.
But I'm willing to bet that even after I get my 1000 points, all my old pending stuff won't automatically live, so I expect this to take a very long time...

I just think there is such a big content overload going on that the staff has their hands full. I think once everything settles down and they have a chance to regroup and recruit, submission entries will go more smoothly.
I'm glad my submission for a certain game didn't went trough moderation, because I totally forgot to look it up ..hehe. Once more users get past 1.000 points this place will get better and better.

Yeah I agree. The problem right now is that so many people are posting to get to the 1000 point mark that the submissions are flooding their inbox.
"Which is why they need more then like, 4 people who approve stuff... Honestly I think it could go a little faster though, even with 4 people. :P "
According to the podcast over 20,000 seperate submissions have been made since launch, and, I'm guessing, that it would take a long time to process all of that content with any number of moderators.
Has anyone been able to deduce what happens if you submit a better page for a page that already exists? Do they replace it, combine them, or reject the newer submission?
"Has anyone been able to deduce what happens if you submit a better page for a page that already exists? Do they replace it, combine them, or reject the newer submission? "
That is up to the moderator reading your submission. If your information is correct, more informative, and/or well-written it will more than likely replace the previously submitted content.
Aha, someone else going for the Mass Effect characters. I guessed there'd be some people doing that. Maybe I'll leave off it before the first confirmed submissions come through then.
I realize that they guys are extremely busy and doing their best. But should I be worried if I have some pending submissions that are around 2 days old?
"Is there a notification for rejected content? My list just has pending or approved. "
This means that your uploaded images that were processed got approved. If you spot the word rejected in red letters instead of the two aforementioned, you'll know what it means.

If we submitted a new page that has since been added by someone else what happens to our images? For example I created a lightsaber and a Toad page, but those edits went through from someone else. Will the images uploaded with the page still possibly be approved or do I need to upload them to the existing page?

I doubt it. I would re-submit those images to the newly created pages.
Just to point out, I have some submissions a few days old but I made a few today that were approved almost instantly. Might be a bug in the queue system, just figured i'd point it out.

The queues for images and text submissions are different so that is why some things are getting submitted faster than others.

I can't even imagine sitting in a queue that size. Good luck to the staff and any mods doing it!

Well my queue is going to keep increasing because I add a few hundred pics a day. I just wish some of them would start to go through the system.

Images are the easiest items to upload, so I am going to bet the image queue is exponentially larger than the wiki queue.

Yes but I have wiki queues that are about 72 hours. Maybe everything is just backed up lol.
