Okay, even after sleeping, I am still going slack jawed and staring at the list...
I might have to do two titles for everyone with the potential of one person each month drawing the short straw and having to take care of a multiple update. With that many volunteers, I wanted to do a cycle of three for the best possible division/feedback but I don't think that's my strong suit.

And here's a few examples on Major Players. Not expecting spoilers to be inside the entry (though I suppose I can always code them if you wish) but the entries should be enough that a person has options and even history. Not to say they all have to be as large as mine since there's a difference between the famous and say the Unofficial Kingpin of Metropolis. Major Players Robert Kane: When one talks about how the Kane Family owns half of Gotham, they usually refer to the patriarch himself, Robert Kane. And though he may act like that’s true, he’s in fact the second richest man in Gotham as his family fortune is spread out among his family and ex-wives. He’s the acting CEO and President of Kane Consolidated and reality TV sensation with his own show (Intern) and catchphrase (Get Out!). Some might say he’s addicted to marriage and makes the happiest day in their lives, the day he finally signs the divorce papers. He’s a shrewd businessman – having successfully brought Kane Consolidated and its subsidiaries into the modern age – and has a larger than life personality. Yet, all that falters in the face of his family. He supports his daughter in all her endeavors and even raised his brother’s children. Kane Consolidated: The parent company to the various Kane Family holdings from Kane Brothers Entertainment (established by its current President’s father and uncle in their youth) to even Mark Securities, a well known Private Military Firm used by the rich and anyone else who can afford them. They run numerous charities both local – The Safehaven Group (an association’s whose goal is to clean up Gotham and Blüdhaven) – and global with the Little Sister Foundation named in honor of the family’s personal losses. In popular culture, Kane Brothers Entertainment is perhaps their most famous holding with its countless blockbusters and hit reality shows based around Robert Kane (Robert Kane’s Intern) and his second wife (The Cougars of Jersey). Kane Family: One of the First Families of Gotham, the Kane Family’s size and fame has been something of a double-edged sword in recent years as tragedies and feuds seem to follow in their wake. The eldest, Robert, while an amazing businessman, has made a habit of picking the wrong kind of woman. The youngest was murdered on the streets of Gotham leaving all her holdings to her only son. And Jacob, the middle child, turned his back on both family and fortune after the loss of his sister and the suspicious death of his wife, leaving him a widower with two daughters he didn’t know how to raise on his own. The current generation is female dominated with only one male heir who stands to become the richest one of them all.

I will have my templates to you this weekend. I start filming in a few hours for the movie we've been in preproduction since December. I should have free time after tomorrow to write that up. I am sorry if it seems like I am ignoring the issue I'm just really overworked with trying to graduate and what not.
As for the this month on I am in. Things should cool down once the rest of the shooting schedule is done so I can do more work shortly.
Again my apologies if this is inconveniencing anyone or anything I'm just extremely overworked this week and it's my only week off from school to. Hopefully you will also see my march issue out of the way this week to if I can help it.

Fix the word "keep" in your latest issue. I'm starting to go OCD about it and checking it every time I log in.... If it's not fixed soon, I'll have to magic it fixed.

Apologizing ahead of time, but I need to change Jakita Wagner form born in 1930's to 1940's, I had to fix part of the timeline as I worked things out this week. It's entirely mea culpa.

Major Players:
The DEO-covert organization, originally charted by the League of Nations, but operating independently and funded by unknown independent sources. Tasked with monitoring super-powered or supernatural occurrences and individuals and prevent them from becoming a potential threat to public safety or world stability.
The current head of the organization is Director Bones (and he had been in charge since at least the 1920's). Agents can be investigative or military in nature. DEO operatives may have been the origin for Men in Black and/or other operatives of that nature. Military Squads operate in nondescript black uniforms and body armor free from any insignia.
Hark Industries (run by Anna Hark)-multinational corporation, one of the largest producers of software and computer operating systems (think Microsoft on steroids). Corporate headquarters are in Silicon Valley.
Planetary Inc. -a descendant of the Planetary Expeditionary Corps, now a global organization with offices around the globe, and and support staff operating out of each of these offices. The primary operatives of Planetary consist of a three person team. Many believe the organization is run by a mysterious Fourth Man; but it has been recently revealed that Elijah Snow is the Fourth Man. He is also one of the three current Planetary Operatives, the others being Jakita Wagner and the Drummer. The stated mission statement of Planetary Inc. is to investigate and catalog the history of unexplained phenomenon, and the seek out such things as they occur. Planetary's agents operate covertly, and public perception (those that know of them anyways) is that they are a tax write off of a very eccentric, very wealthy unknown sponsor who chases crackpot theories around the globe.
Stormwatch-a covert paramilitary organization with an elite super-powered strike force. Founded by Professor Moriarty at the turn of the 20th century, its goal is to monitor the efforts of individuals, organizations, and others that threaten the status quo and the influence of the cabal of illuminated elites Moriarty was associated with, primarily the efforts of the Century Baby Eugenics Program. Stormwatch is commanded by the Weatherman (currently Harry Bendix), who reports to an unknown council.
NB of these-only Hark Industries would be commonly known by the general public, but certain individuals may have knowledge of the others and their operations. Crackpots and conspiracy theorists however, may speak of these organizations quite often though, but few give these folks credence.
-M
If you need more or less, let me know...

While a lot of these things can be assumed that only certain people and the crazies would know, if you specifically want that referenced like that then it should probably be said so in the entry which you do for the most part. "Secret Players" won't have an entry like cosmic (at least for now) in the current version of this database. DEO will likely go under Government. Planetary and Stormwatch (I think) will go under Organizations.

ATTENTION
Expect This Month On Assignments next weekend. If I can't figure who how to divide them properly, I'll find someone who can.
Most of you did a good job and I'll probably contact you individually about what you can do better in the future but there's one thing to remember... It's not supposed to be a complete summary of every little thing in the issue and it's okay to make or note assumptions of characters. We had two that were incredibly wordy to the point it stopped being exciting and encouraging and started to explain the entire issue. While that'd be good for another continuity thing I'll be working on once we have another one or two people hit the six issue mark... That's not the point of this exercise.

Major Players
Not sure how you want this formatted. Or whether these would go under Magical or Cosmic or what. I still have to do more thinking on how Hell is going to function, but for now I got this...
Organization? Location? I dunno: Hell Ruler: Lucifer Faction Leaders: Neron, Lady Blaze, Lord Satanus
Spirit of Vengeance: Autonomous spirit that acts as the Wrath of God. Takes corporeal form by inhabiting a dead body. Only involves itself in the most serious of events, usually on a worldwide scale or greater.
Valhalla Cemetery Nabu: 1200 BC(Body dies. Spirit placed inside the Helm of Nabu) Ultimate Shazam #3

Adrini, that's all kinds of combined but I can work with it.
Star, I'll see what I can do and when you're more sure on what you want up, let me know and I'll change it.

It's okay. There's nothing wrong with what you did other than me not quite knowing what you're wanting me to do. So in looking at the way you presented it, seems like I have a major players entries at the bottom. For the living names, I'm guessing that you want those under location. For the dead Queens, put on the timeline. And finally Canary I on both the timeline and the cemetery.
The info is all there, I just have to sift through it and figure out what needs to be done.

For those of you wondering what's going on, both Continuity and This Month On (admin run version) are on hold until after the start of the month and it's determined what's the best approach to it and how exactly it works.
