How might one know if one's review has been accepted or rejected
for inclusion to the database and how long should one wait before
making an enquiry?
Asking for a friend.

Left-hand menu.
Submenu under What's New
you will find Unapproved
- these are edits and new submission awaiting a decision.
Recent Changes
lists any entry that has been updated (edit approved).
Submenu under Recent Changes
is Rejections
-- this lists any submission or edit that has been rejected... and
why.

Checking the status of a new entry submission or a change / edit to
an existing entry can be done by choosing an option from the menu
on the left-hand side of the page:
- The Unapproved
sub-menu item under What's New
will show you a list of all changes and new submissions that are awaiting approval.
- The Rejections
sub-menu item under Recent Changes
lists all the submission or edits that have been rejected,
and the reason for rejection.
- The Recent Changes
menu item lists all entries that have been recently changed ( edit has been approved
).
- Any approved new submissions
will show on the site's home page, which is the same as, and can
be accessed by selecting the What's New
menu item.

That's like a long list. A really, really long list.
I don't envy you or anyone else who has to sort through all of
that.

I'm glad you like the colors. :-)
Yep, addressing that list is a task sometimes.
Some of the submissions are quick and simple, while others are
tough to verify. Then you get into the borderline / questionable
stuff -- should it be included in the database here or not.
And sometimes it's after you've done all that work, that you
realize it is already in the database... sometimes with a slightly
misspelled or AKA title... or under the author's name.
And then once you approve or reject it, you might have to go edit
the entry to fix the formatting or category listings, or the tag
coding. And you sometimes have to check the entry for consistency
against other entries, especially if it's part of a series.
Speaking of series, sometimes a series entry is warranted, and then
we have to edit the entry to code in a link to the series entry.
That way you can visit the Doctor Who
entry, for instance, and find a list (and links) to all the
episodes in one place.
But it can also be fun and rewarding to be able to be a part of
that process. We just have to work at it bit by bit to knock all
those pending jobs out and get the proper credit to the first
person who submits the new info.
I'll keep helping out with that when I can, for as long as the big
guy will let me. :-)

I was going to go with the Hulk because they actually do refer to
him as "the Big Guy" including Bruce Banner, especially Bruce
Banner but then I thought that was too obvious. Doesn't really seem
like his thing, either,

""Unapproved" menu doesnt show for me."
Click on What's New
menu item first, then the Unapproved
sub-menu should be available.

Are you working from top to bottom or is there more to it than
that? I'm going with the latter otherwise everything that gets
listed would take years to get into the database (which isn't
approved automatically from trusted users). From what I've seen, it
hasn't quite seemed like that.

We're supposed to be working them from the oldest submissions /
edits (from the top of the list) first.
That way the first to submit an entry gets the credit... also so
that approving older changes don't inadvertently revert an edited
entry to an older form.
But I also check for new submissions and edits. If someone were to
submit today an entry for something that was released yesterday -
if I don't see it already in the database, or pending - I will
often just approve it (if it meets all the other requirements for
belonging). Same with changes - if it's new material or newly
released info... and there are no pending edits in the Unapproved
list - I will sometimes approve them (if they meet the criteria for
approval).
And for those newest submission or edits that need to be rejected
for whatever quickly obvious reason -- I try to do that right away
if I can. This helps keep the list a bit shorter.

Looks like it all could take a while, doesn't it?

With a concentrated and combined effort -- it could probably be
knocked out within a weekend. But that would require a fairly
coordinated attack, and lots of luck on scheduling.
It's been a long list for years - but the backlog used to close-in
on three years... well, over two years for sure.
We mounted a major effort a while back and got it within a year.
With any luck (in time to volunteer on the effort), we should be
able to pull it nearly down to zero by 2017.

Except you just know someone's going to ruin that plan by (shock
horror) submitting more new material. Several someones probably.
It's a conspiracy I tell you!
