DC Database:About
From DC Database
The DC Database Project came online October 7th, 2005 as a non-profit site, with the goal of becoming the largest online database pertaining only to DC Comics. This site, aka the DCDP, is the creation of Jamie Hari. dc.wikia.com uses the latest technology available to us to present the information in a visually appealing and easy to navigate format. Thanks to the open source software, provided by the MediaWiki foundation, we are able to extend support of this reference to the DC Comics fanbase.
The Database catalogs and adapts information from comics into condensed representations used for demonstrative and learning purposes. For a list of external references we use, see our Sources page.
With the Database underway, the updates to our site are coming in from all sides. This often means a hard time when monitoring where this information comes from. We encourage users to list their references on the page containing the content they submitted. This unfortunately isn't always the easiest task. Also, we often get original material written by the user and hence may not have a specific reference.
We very much discourage plagiarism and if appropriately notified, will be more than glad to remove, update or appropriately credit the offending material.
