I'm wondering how you guys will fix an issue about more than one person trying to add items to a page between the first submission and the time that it is posted. For example, I added Micromanagement to Company of Heroes and it was up there this morning, but I have not received points for it, so I assume someone else did it before me, but I can assume that it is still a pending submission. Are you going to add a queue to each page to save our time and yours orsomething? thanks.

I noticed you can view your submissions pending, If i make a mistake with a submission, is there a way to delete it from the queue? Would be handy for everyone.

My first submission was to suggest that STALKER was the first game with a day night cycle, when i was trying to work out where to add games for a concept.

We need to have a way to cancel our pending wiki requests. I requested that Phoenix Wright should be added and then looked again and then saw he was there. xD

I feel stupid, and I would like to get rid of that request. lol

You know what I would like, how about on the games page, a section called 'Pending Submissions,' where we may view all the submissions (images and information), so that we dont send in a submission when someone else has already done so, know what I mean?

I think that would help a ton. That, and canceling a submission, for people who might have messed up..

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

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.

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.

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.

Yeah I have a bunch of really hi res images of KZ2, R2, LBP and more, some even 5k res.

But I doubt the points matter on how hi res the screens are..

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.
