Honestly, I don't know what everyone's problem with waiting is. If you really need to write about it so bad, save your work in a word document and as soon as the ban is lifted you can copy and paste.

Frankly, I do not see ADour's view or concerns about us being "out of date", if people want to write about what's happening so bad, nobody is stopping you from doing it now, the only thing you're not allowed to do is add it to the Wikia yet.

And yes, I understand that a lot of the title characters are going to be Earth-616 versions of the characters. But, when we don't take an all-or-nothing approach, it always turns into a cluster!@#$ because people don't listen when we make exceptions.

So again, if none of you want to add the innumerable amount of missing data (Which I think is much more important to add than what's new and current) and you just HAVE to write about what's happening now, save it in a word document and paste it in later.

As for ADour's insistence that we're getting behind. How are we getting behind compared to what? Other resources? Marvel's official Wikia is a ruddy joke. It's never updated. Ever.

Comic Vine is literally garbage. No references, no focus, no center of expertise, and so many holes in its data.

Wikipedia, again, it's not their central focus so things over there are out of date as well.

In fact: If any of that information is being updated on other sites, five gets you ten it's people who also regularly contribute here who can't wait for things to be clearly defined.

We're an encyclopedia guys. We're not out there to compete with other sites. We're here to state the facts as accurately as possible. Right now we can't do that without the potential for things to become a large mess. So please, for the love of god, have some patience.

We're going to re-evaluate things when the Secret Wars handbook comes out. Once that is out, we're going to re-evaluate other edit bans can be lifted based on the info provided. That was the majority vote among the admins, that's what we're doing.
