Why not introduce a form handler where folks can make submissions...and perhaps also a voting or ranking system where folks can vote or rate clips etc.

As you know....wetlook is a very subjective matter....and often folks have supplied me with tips and then the scenes turn out to be non existant, completely worthless or so inconsequential...they were not "worthy" of me including them in my database....so I have certain standards before I include any clip in my database. The standards are similar to what reporters use in the newspaper industry...i.e. never rely on info from a single source....something is only credible when at least 2-3 other sources have confirmed that its exists...and at least 2-3 people agree that this is a "worthy" clip worth documenting.

If you have a form handler where folks can submit their inputs to do...and then a "whats new" section for new clips spotted...where other folks can they validate or vote or rate that scene....then you will have gathered some very reliable data. FYI....on my scorecard of 1 thru 10....these days I do not even bother to save or documemt any wetlook scene if it does not get a 5 out of 10 on my score card.

As any fisherman knows.....you throw the little fish back into the sea....and you only document the major catches you make.

Of course....many folks will disagree and have different opinions about clips...based on their clothing preferences...i.e. formal wetlook fans will not give high marks for a wet jeans scene....and wet jeans fans are hardly likely to vote high marks for a wet wedding dress.....but that does not matter...so long as 2-3 people confirm that the scene exists...then take the highest 3 scores for that clip (do not average the scores) then it will be validated. The only clips that will get rejected will be those that either do not exists and it was a false report...or the scene is so lame or so quick....that everybody agrees it is not worth mentioning.

If you want more participation and interaction on your site...thats how to do it....not via email....but by interactive data gathering and voting on the clip infos given.

regards

MK

There are now over 3,000 titles and almost 1,800 celebrities in my catalog, spanning the entire history of film and television. This represents several thousand WAM scenes in mainstream film and TV, of which I've only detailed a few hundred so far. I've only catlogued a handful of commercials and music videos, with hundreds remaining.

If you have an interest in wetlook and/or WAM in mainstream film and TV, perhaps you can help me with my compilation. If you know of a movie, TV show, commercial, or music video which contains a WAM or wetlook scene, and you can't find it in my catalog, or the information I have is missing or incomplete, please let me know.

If you have feedback on something which appears in my catalog, please post to the site itself. Please use email only where you can't find an entry for something on which you want to comment.

The site *should* be fairly responsive, although you may notice a slow down under heavy usage; please be patient.
