Slow... I'm in the middle of Finals week at college. I could REALLY use some help. I mainly just need more text and information about the sight. Unfortunately there is no "About Us" section on IMFDB.

Right now the page is in my userspace on wikipedia (not part of the actual site yet). Feel free to add to it!

I thought we no longer allowed anonymous users to edit ANY pages after the events of last May. Did Bunni just protect every page that existed then?

It's required to edit at all, ever since we had a bunch of spambots roll on through. As in way, way more than we have now.

I think you could just merge the mistakes thing into general content and that it doesn't really require an example.

Gotcha and sounds good! Can you help me by giving me a bit of "About Us" type info? even just bullet points would be nice...

I would also get rid of or change the part about "Admins work hard to make sure that pages remain up to par". Although true this is purely subjective and is not impartial, and will just get deleted by someone anyway.

A VERY good point... It wasn't a full thought yet, i was going to try to turn it into a paragraph but your right.
