   Well, i've never gotten much help ever asking for help here, but I   
   guess it never hurts, miracles can happen.   
      
   'd love to keep adding to the signature database.  If you come across   
   signatures on items that are "official" like say a Wheaties box with   
   an Olympic signature on it, please... help... scan it in and email it   
   to me for use on the signature database.  Other places signatures   
   might be...Newspapers, magazine ads or articles, food products,   
   celebrity calendars/videos etc, catalog ads, labels from clothing   
   (designers), preprinted photos... official sites sometimes have their   
   sigs in graphics/jpgs, sunday coupon ads, trading cards, perfume   
   boxes, hang tags from purses/accessories... There are so many things.   
   Someone once sent me scans of a poster from Superman which had several   
   preprinted sigs (officially licensed item too).  Just tell me where   
   you got the item so I can verify it's a legitimate listened signature.   
   Doing this helps the community!   
      
   Also, I will solicit Xlist entries, but in order for me to take it   
   serious I need facts.  ID changes, complaints on Google or elsewhere,   
   proof they've been in trouble before, emails where they catch   
   themselves in lies... anything that bolsters my reasons for listing   
   them. I can't just slap someone on there because you suspect they are   
   forgers.  That's because there would be millions of entries on there   
   and NO good ones.  And be aware that on these, they will not be put on   
   immediately. I have to research them fully before I decide what goes   
   up.  It could take days, weeks or even a month.   
      
   I will solicit good dealers as well.  If a dealer is not on any bad   
   list anywhere, had good feedback ratings, has passed my own eye with   
   what they are selling, I would indeed list them on the good links on   
   the site, but if they ever get even ONE complaint, they will be   
   removed (I have done this recently).   
      
   Also, I would solicit articles or anything you feel would be   
   insightful to others.  Just send the links, the word documents or   
   whatever.  Tell me where they came from so I can give credit.   
      
   Thanks for listening and if at all, helping.
