Marvel Database:About
From Marvel Database
The Marvel Database Project came online March 18th, 2005 as a non-profit site, with the goal of becoming the largest online database pertaining only to Marvel Comics. This site, aka the MDP, is the creation of Jamie Hari. MarvelDatabase.com uses the latest technology 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 Marvel Comics fanbase.
The Database was created initially from reference materials such as The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (aka OHMU) and various online sources. For a more complete list of references, although not exhaustive, see our Sources page.
Now that the Database is 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.
