Marko I'm submitting castle sites I find on the web to the COTW database on a regular basis. Most sites are solely dedicated to castles or have just a couple of castle related pages so they are easy to submit.
But recently I surfed upon an Austrian Encyclopedia site which isn't clearly categorized by subject but when searched thoroughly comes up with a lot of pages with Austrian castles. Most just show a color photo as part of a 'photo-album'. Some show a color photo with a little historical info. And there are some pages with castle video clips.
How would you suggest to add these?
Just a link to the portal with a reference to the search option? This search option isn't very user friendly and turns up a lot of double listings and doesn't find some others.
Or a link for each castle? This takes quite some work but has the advantage that you can search for its name.
Any suggestions?

wurdsmiff I'd agree with your idea of linking just to the search option, with a note in the description drawing attention to the problem. Sounds like a useful resource. alternatively just post in in the Book Nook (well it is a reference- under web based references ) and those interested could find it a little more readily.
