Want points on Comicvine?

I've seen hundreds (thousands) of issues missing from volumes like Action Comics, Detective Comics, Fantastic Four, etc. Almost entire series don't even have characters or creators listed including popular ones like X-Men, Spider-Man,etc . An individual new added issue with creators, characters, and a good clean pic of the cover is usually worth minimum 15-20 points. Say for example there's 300 Detective Comics issues missing (there's more), thats 6000+ points on that series alone if you went through and added them all. More if you actually have the issues and have the time or interest to write a basic plot summary. G-Man is pulling in 60-80+ points per issue for writing extensive plot summaries and adding the things mentioned above.

I think thats probably the quickest way to get points right now. Rummaging around a few sources on the internet for the +2 points you get for adding a pic to (for example) Spider-Man or Batman's galleries that already have 100+ pics not only isn't going to yield much points but is going to take more of your time than using sources to build up comicvine's volumes database.

Another suggestion is to find a niche or universe that isn't on comicvine but still needs to be added. Fesak just added a ton of Street Fighter characters, got a ton of points, I got a ton of points for adding basic G1 Transformers characters. For instance the Spawn universe and various older Image imprints, other independent comic universes, haven't been fleshed out yet- ton of points there for anyone with the knowledge and sources.

Just some ideas I thought I'd throw out there to anyone that bothers clicking on the number 2 guy's picture or the blawgs tab. Disagreements/comments/insults welcome.
