With screenings for the new Captain America movie starting up we would like to remind Wikia contributors to be mindful of spoilers.

Be respectful to other users decisions to know nothing about the movie prior to going to see it.

In order to avoid spoilers in the future, the Captain America: Civil War page will be locked for a MONTH to give people time to see the film.

Please refrain from adding any information about this film to any other page on this site for at least a month. However, if you feel that there is something that might spoil the film for others please mark all your page edits with the appropriate Spoiler tag.

Blog and Forum Posts should have ample warnings for others not to spoil the film. Anyone caught spoiling the film prior to the month long moratorium will be banned for six months. If you see anyone spoiling the film, please contact an admin immediately.

Well What Can I do for the next month if I can't write things about Captain America: Civil War?

You know it's funny you should mention that, because that's exactly the same thing people complained about when Secret Wars was coming out and we asked people to refrain from updating character profiles until AFTER that event was over. And wouldn't you know it, there is a lot of missing information for Secret Wars. There is still a lot of missing data for a LOT of things.

I would like to take a moment to remind people that there is a lot of missing data on a variety of material of the 75+ years Marvel has been in the business. If you can't find SOMETHING you can't research and update and add information on, perhaps you need to try a little harder.

The point is this: Anyone can add information on something that just came out, and while we do want to remain as current as possible, we also want to be as COMPLETE as possible. If you want to be a valued user of this community, contribute something more than whatever came out in the past week. Do some actual research. Learn something new. Share that information with the world. We will not become the definitive source for all things Marvel if people only stick with what's new and current.
