Forum:SH Archive/Cargobay sucks as a source.

The only thing I do on this site is edit release dates. I'm a release date fiend, becuase I'm obsessed with List of all Star Wars media. That said, there's a few things that bother me with the release dates for media on this site.

Firstly, if you'll look at the article, you'll see that lots of things seem to come out in June. This is because the people who put the release date down for the article for that piece of media used cargobay.starwars.com as a source. If Cargobay doesn't know the month or the day that something came out, it puts down June 01. They must figure that since it's in the middle of the year, it's probably the closest they can get to the real release date. Well this sucks when trying to put things in order, because half the media for that year seems to come out on June 1st! It's obviously not right.

Another thing is that a large amount of stuff claims to come out on the first of the month, every month. This also stems from cargobay, because if cargobay doesn't know the exact day, they put the first.

My point is, there needs to be stricter rules for sourcing release dates. Because most of them, especially the ones that came out before the internet, are wrong. -- Xell Khaar 07:55, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
