General contact
One public address
Email [email protected] for general questions about the archive, source suggestions, corrections, continuity questions, collecting research, broken links, or feedback about site usability.
IDS is based in Los Angeles, California. A street address, workplace address, or private telephone number is not published because none is necessary for ordinary editorial communication.
Corrections
Tell us what should be checked
If you believe an IDS page contains a factual error, it helps to include the page URL, the statement in question, and the source or evidence that supports the correction. Canon and Legends distinctions are especially useful to identify because a claim can be accurate in one continuity and wrong in another.
Substantive corrections are handled under the site's published corrections standard. Routine spelling, layout, image optimization, and broken-link repairs may be fixed without a formal correction-log entry.
Rights & attribution
Copyright, trademark, or image concerns
Rights holders, creators, photographers, publishers, or other authorized representatives can use the same email address for attribution questions, requests to review an image or excerpt, or requests to remove material. Include enough information to identify the work and the IDS page where it appears.
See the Copyright, Trademark & Rights Requests page for the site's full notice and request process.
Privacy
Why there is no contact form
IDS currently uses a direct email link rather than an embedded contact form. That avoids collecting names, messages, or other personal information into a separate website database simply to receive correspondence. Your email provider and IDS's email provider will still process ordinary email metadata according to their own policies.
