Nausiated, I think we're on the same page as far as big changes being immediate (Falcon becoming Captain America), and I'd agree the specifics could wait until the arc is over (though I'd say a "and Falcon became Captain America" or something like that could be put as a placeholder. You may or may not agree, and I won't argue either way. It's a small detail to me, no big deal).

As far as the quality of our competition, it doesn't really matter. They're still our competition. I would never say we should compromise to beat them, but we should compromise to stay competitive. I see us used as random links in a lot of places (makes me feel proud every time. Because even if I didn't work on that specific page, I know I had a small hand in it being around), but I also see other places (mostly Wikipedia. Oddly enough, Comicvine gets referenced a LOT, but I don't see a ton of links to their wiki pages). I absolutely believe quality should come first, but we should always look at a way we can be a TIMELY product of quality. To the best we feel we can be. Which is oddly noncommittal, but I said it anyway.

And sorry, but I think you misread my sentence on the secret origin of Iron Man. I was actually using that to support your idea of holding off until the end of arcs. Mostly for the very reasons you said. You have a good point, don't think I'm saying you don't. Whether I entirely agree with it or not...you've got a good point. It's one I've either argued or been tempted to argue many times.

And as far as "too careful" vs "accurate", the two are not mutually exclusive. If I record the information from a comic the second it comes out in an accurate way, then that's accurate information. If the second issue completely contradicts that (anyone remember that Spider-Woman origin series from after she/Veranke came back in New Avengers), then that is now the most accurate information. I'm all for waiting until the arc is resolved (being careful) and not presenting the latest information (being less accurate. And the longer we wait, the less accurate the information is, especially if it's an origin series), but there might be times I'd disagree with that (such as Falcon becoming Captain America. See how I brought that around again?).

But, all told, I'm not saying what you have is a bad idea. I'd say I agree with...95%. I just want to make sure we're keeping the bigger picture in mind. That's all. And whatever the final decision is...awesome. At least we had the discussion.
