inaccuracies and missing omnibus

Still no sandman 09/28/2024 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.74.234.137 (talk) 16:30, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also the sandman is nowhere to be found. 2601:248:537F:2AD0:C91A:9187:C018:2072 (talk) 07:38, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sandman is still missing and many release dates are incorrect. 50.220.35.86 (talk) 11:31, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Fourth World books and Gotham Central should be moved up from the events/crossovers section. - Jupitxr23

Sorting is off in the article

When you sort the lists by "Years covered", the lists don't take into account the character. So, it sorts ALL of the omnibuses into a single list under the first character's name, even though those omnibuses don't belong to that character. This does not help the user who is trying to sort the omnibuses into the years covered pertaining to each character. 104.251.240.39 (talk) 14:13, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple issues

Partially piggybacking on the comment above, there are multiple issues with this article as a Wikipedia page, the two largest of which are:

“Stand-alone lists are subject to Wikipedia's content policies and guidelines for articles, including verifiability and citing sources.” - Source

It's definitely arguable that an ISBN is a citation, of sorts, for the list itself, however:

“A stand-alone list should begin with a lead section that summarizes its content, provides any necessary background information, gives encyclopedic context - Source

There are no citations or sources for the introduction on this page, nor the section headers. No quotes from anyone about when the line launched, what purpose they might have, and so on.

On the tables themselves:

...overloading tables with too much detailed statistical data is against policy. Careful thought should be given to how a reader would use a table, and what level of detail is appropriate. - source

There are almost 200 books in the "Characters and teams" section of the Modern section, and it's growing on a regular basis. It's clearly subjective as what counts as 'overloading', however I can't see many other tables on Wikipedia that has this many items included. I'm happy to be corrected. This section should be broken down, probably by character - which would resolve the issue raised by @104.251.240.39. Peterspeterson (talk) 15:42, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the table being too large so I've broken it down by character and team. I've also separated the 'Events, crossovers and storylines' into 'Events, 'Alternate continuities' and 'Miscellaneous' after 'Young Justice', though I change this also simply because it seemed to disorganized, feel free anyone to change this to something more appropriate.

I haven't added any new citations or paragraphs to all the new sections, though.

I would also suggest breaking up the 'Golden Age, Silver, Age and Bronze Age volumes' into three tables, one for each respective 'Age' section, at least once it gets too large. Vanto7 (talk) 14:53, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kirby and Ditko Omnibuses

I've moved both "The Jack Kirby Omnibus" Vol. 1 and 2 and "The Steve Ditko Omnibus" Vol. 1 and 2 to Miscellaneous. For three of these volumes, a character appeared on the title of the volume, leading me to believe previously that they focused on those particular characters, e.g. "The Jack Kirby Omnibus Vol. 1: Starring the Green Arrow". Apparently I was mistaken and Kirby's Green Arrow stories are collected but the Omnibus itself is not a Green Arrow-focused volume, collecting only or majorly Green Arrow stories as with, for example, "Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunter Omnibus". Same with both Steve Ditko Omnibuses, "Starring Shade, the Changing Man" and "Starring the Hawk and the Dove". Vanto7 (talk) 19:13, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
