How do we know who the DB admins are? Is there a time frame to clean and correct the DB bugs as well as game duplicates? |
http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=22058 Regarding a time frame for cleaning and correcting DB bugs, let me say this - I've made a promise to ioi that I would not overwhelm him with enhancementsfixesetc. and that I would hit him up one area at a time. Right now, the summaries is VERY important to me. 1) It's presentation is the first thing people see when they check out a game - with the varying styles we've had submitted into the database and all of the various sources that have been used, things just look kinda crappy. 2) The volume of submissions we've had for summaries has been overwhelming and I want to prevent you guys from wasting your time on things that will get rejected. So, that said, with input from you all, we should be able to wrap this issue up relatively quickly and move on to other things. I agree, the duplicates issue still gnaws at me and there are quite a few other things I'd like to add and/or correct - let's just try and knock this issue out first and then move onto other things... |
Thanks for the answer, this will definitely make the DB better and cleaner and prevent it from clustering up in the future. BTW, I just added a new game and I'm trying to add its alternate Japanese name and I don't really know how to, could you tell me how to do that? Also do you plan on cleaning up games with incorrect Box Arts? It's a good thing you guys are trying to clean up the DB, let me know what I can do to help and I will when I have free time. OT, nice avatar, just so you know I heard they are coming out with a new Thundercats movie |
Right now, you can not enter the japanese names of games. You used to be able to, but right now I think you need to be an admin to do that.
If there is a boxart, release date, or screenshot you would like removed, pm any of the game admins, as only they can remove them. (your best bets for quick response are talonioninaman, quiGontcb, and MontanaHatchet)
