I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I've been reading a bunch of Tezuka manga recently, and to my dismay I've noticed that several of his works have been stuck at "Pending approval" for seemingly years. These works have official English translations and their own pages on most sites, yet they're stuck in approval hell here.
There seem to be 48 works stuck in this process, most of them complete with a summary, an image, and everything else.
As one of the most influential mangaka ever, it saddens me to see so many of his works stuck in approval limbo on MAL.
If there's something missing in those entries that's keeping them there, I'd be happy to edit them one by one to get them up to standards. Thanks :)

Yeah, it would be nice if those Tezuka manga would finally get approved.
You all need to watch Nami.

The mods are looking through them, albeit slowly. I used to see a pending duplicate entry for Under the Air that has since been deleted. 0 Man was approved less than 2 years ago, 60 years to the month after it ended.

More upsetting to me is the blatantly incorrect information listed on several of those pages, including those that have already been approved! Not one of the edits I've submitted has gone into effect, and I've been waiting years in some cases.

Yeah, it's an unfortunate state of affairs. I've submitted an edit to one a month ago, disheartening to see that it's probably in vain. :/ I wish we could just go through all of his manga and fix everything, knowing that they'd get updated and approved :(

Well it's not called MyMangaList for a reason I guess...

There're many more authors that deserve better treatment in addition to Tezuka as well. I think Record of the glass castle has been approved fairly recently, though.

P.S. There's one version of Hi no Tori missing as well. Huh.

Are you referring to this version? Even if it's incomplete, it's a shame it was never translated into English.

Exactly that. The version from Shoujo Club is on MAL and was translated, on the other hand. But not this. There're also various remakes of Tezuka's works published in Tezukomi, not all of which made it to MAL (and neither did the magazine)

You'll be glad to hear that the Manga Shounen Phoenix now has an English translation, courtesy of fans.
