Not everyone can dump an entire complete page on IMFDB in a minute (we have some members who do that, but they chose to do an exceptional amount of work BEFORE uploading anything).

There is also the etiquette of not editing someone's page when they are in the process of building it. When I look at a recent changes history, I can tell when someone is building a page. I don't touch it until some time has passed. The ONLY time I may edit (after taking a peek) is to correct an obviously WRONG Identification of a gun, but that is rare.

edit: The {incomplete} tag, though most gentle of ALL of the tags, is still insulting in that it is someone OPENLY CALLING all other members to complete your work for you, since "you (the page creator) obviously cannot or will not complete the page to minimum IMFDB specs"....

Hope this helps.
I remember when this little incident happened to you MPM, it was out of line to slap an incomplete tag on something you just created 15 minutes prior. I had it done to me because some of my screencaps lacked captions, but my page had been up for a while. As far as what kind of time lapse before tagging a page incomplete I guess 2 weeks for movie pages. TV shows are another matter, they can take a long damn time.
