Jump to: navigation, search

The Spaghetti Western Database is a wiki, everyone with an account in our forum can contribute. To assure quality and to keep essential parts of the website up-to-date, and to have experienced contributors to call on for focus projects, we have a permanent staff of editors as well. Currently, our staff consists of 10 voluntary editors plus the executive editor and owner of the website. More permanent editors will be "hired" next year.

Now meet the team! Each user of the SWDB has his/her own page, please click on them to find out more about us. Staff members post their DVD collections, reviews and maybe even little movie diaries or entire blogs on their personal pages!

See their favorite Spaghetti Western! The staff picked some spaghetti westerns, which they like most or at least because of something special about them. Find out why and see the staff's favorites.
