User blog comment:Undoniel/Multiple corrections from Stuart Vandal, Official Handbook writer./@comment-806266-20130726135814

I am a not a moderator. However, I've been editing here for over 5 years, with an emphasis in on the Silver to Bronze Age....

Here is my thoughts for whosoever is concerned.

1.) We all make mistakes.  So does Marvel.com.  Some minor things that have always bugged me...  Changing Foggy Nelson's middle initial, same with General Phillips name.  Dead characters who just reapper (multiple), characters out of character (multiple). Marvel.Com say it is, and it is.  So let it be written, so let it be done.

However Marvel.com has the advantage. Whatever they say... goes. They change it like a thing of wax. Insert Deuteronomy with a Deuteronomist and it is canon. We don't have that luxury and we never will. I am committed to make this site the best, which leads me to my next point.

2.) References.  You should reference any statment you make. Iron man upgraded his armor? When? Reference it. Peter Parker went to the World Trade Center? When? Reference it. Misty Knight lost her arm? When? Reference it. Anything you want to cite, reference it.  When you do this, Marvel.Com will have nothing to say.  You are referencing their own material. AND, by refercing it, our site will be superior to Marvel.Com, because they are not doing it enough.

3.) Rude? I send emails to vendors sometimes and they think I am rude. Things like, "I need this Monday" and "If you cannot process this, let me know and I will use another vendor."

What tone did I use? Answer: There is no tone in emails. When moderators tell people to "Fix It" or "Don't do this again.", etc. YES. They will sometimes take it the wrong way. I have. I am 50 years old working on this thing. My son can go circles around me, but I am trying to help. A guy like Nathan has really been helpful and patient with a guy like me. Every moderator should do the same, or not moderate in my opinion. You just make things worse if your run good editors (and sometimes good moderators) off.

Wrapping it up.... Ensure that we do quality work, reference your statements and claims, and be polite, fair, and yet firm to ALL editors, and I think we are on the right track. Stay the Course!
