When you add a set is there any sort of notice that it's been added or rejected?

You requested them only 3 days ago. We have over 500 items in the queue. You should get a PM when the sets and checklists are added (if the person who handles them follows the procedures properly).

Short answer No with a but. 

Long answer: It varies by how it's done. If you submitted an IR (Inaccuracy Report) then when it is added the person who handles the IR can send you a notification. If you just say "this set is missing" and don't give any info at all, it takes much longer if at all, and you may get notified somebody asked you about it via the IR system. 

They may also not notify you, it's an option that the IR fixers have. 

It may also just show up in the listings, and it's also possible that other people are independantly working on the set not having ever seen your IR, especially if it's a new set. 

There is always the possibility that the set needs a significant amount of research and that people are still working on...or that we don't have enough information to list it currently. ALL trading cards and TCG will be listed, but we need some basic information before they can be listed: 

1. Year of release. If we don't know what year it's from, we can't list it. 
2. Full checklist. We need the full checklist before something can be listed 99.9% of the time. On very rare and usually vintage sets, we can do a TBD but that's a last resort and should not be done unless all avenues are exhausted- including a forum thread openly seeking help on the checklist. Just listing one card out of a multi card set is wrong and will result in loss of checklist posting abilties...plus that wrong checklist will also be removed so you'd just be wasting time. 
3. Physical card size. While this isn't actually needed to get a set listed, if it is not standard size it will make more work to fix it later and any scans won't look correct because the default is standard card sized. 
4. When submitting a checklist, please include teams if it's a sports set. We want to do it right, the first time.  

The more info provided in the Possible Missing Set IR, the better it is for everyone and the faster the IR can be resolved. We are all volunteers who do this because we enjoy it, and if we knew about the missing set already, it would probably be listed. You have to consider that we know absolutely nothing about the set and the more help you can provide the better it will be for everyone involved. 

The "you" I refer to throughout is not you specifically but anyone sending an IR. 

Hope that helps.

I wasn't asking to speed things up.  I realize there's a large queue.  Just wanted to know what to expect when adding a set since I'm new here.
