I'm glad you've decided to reach out to us in trying to figure out what we're doing with the DC Database and Prime Earth.

Without too much history and to be straight to the point, we're basically in the process of transitioning characters who are clearly defined as different from New Earth to Prime Earth. Characters who only ever existed on Prime Earth will reflect that and say Prime Earth.

Take Timothy Drake (New Earth) and Timothy Drake (Prime Earth) as an example. Although Tim is a Bat-character and therefore under extreme scrutiny by the admins, he is so vastly different from his 'mainstream' version that it was impossible to contain all that information on one page so we split.

Whereas characters like First Lantern (Volthoom) exist only on Prime Earth and have less explanatory information on their pages. Jonah Hex is an interesting case in which I'll have to defer to another admin about but here's what I'd tell you right now: focus your efforts on anything other than Prime Earth and let admins and users close to them handle it.

It's not that we're trying to bogard these pages or their histories for nefarious purposes ;) it's just that this is a delicate situation which can very well spiral into mayhem if not handled correctly.
