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?

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.

I believe they said on the podcast that there was 6 of them them currently moderating the content.

Sounds good. I was trying to avoid adding images with watermarks but wasn't 100% if it mattered.

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.

Is there a notification for rejected content? My list just has pending or approved.

Interesting.
I wasn't even aware of the encyclopedia stuff until now, I'm afraid...

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?

There is, I've seen it a few times in a few profiles. (It states rejected in large red letters)

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.

I'm sure this was answered, but I don't have the time to read all of the responses.

Will it show up that an edit is rejected or will it just keep saying, "Pending"?

If your submission is rejected it will show up in red letters as "rejected."

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.

Ive got a question, do the points on our profile update automatically? Or is that a daily thing?

Your points update automatically, while your rank updates daily.

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!

It looks like almost only the users above 1,000 points have gotten more submissions done in the last 24 hours. I'm soon going on 3 days on stuff...

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.
