Abstract
A user-contributor may submit a plurality of related content items and associated metadata to a website corpus. One of the items may be designated as the primary version, and the rest may be designated as secondary versions. The metadata may be associated with the primary version in the website corpus, and, as such, may act as a representative for the secondary versions. An interface may display the primary version in connection with indications of the secondary versions. Ratings of the primary version may be used to determine an overall user rating of the submitter, whereas ratings of the secondary versions may not. Similarly, only the primary version may count against a submission limit of the user and/or be eligible for selection as representative content of the submitter.
