Potential sources

I jumped the gun for now but there is plenty of sources to use once I come back. Here are the ones I found so far:

The GA article Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions has potential sources for borrowing too. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 01:27, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive fictional character biography

Like too many Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics character entries, this suffers from an absurdly over-detailed fictography that run completely afoul of WP:CMOS#PLOT, which says in part:

plot discussions must be concise summaries, not detailed abridgements that can serve as a substitute for the reading of the actual story. Summarising should never be on a per-issue basis and should only outline the plot rather than describe minor details. Additionally, plot descriptions must include cited reference to critical analysis published in secondary sources. Editors should approach the discussion of fictional concepts within a "real world context"; this means editors should describe fictional elements in terms of how they relate to the real world, as fictional characters or topics.

I've tagged this article's "Fictional character biography", which needs to be much more concise and with real-world citations as to significance. This over-detailed, blow-by-blow biography is overwhelming and unnecessary for the general-audience reader at which Wikipedia is aimed, and verges on turning this into a fansite. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:17, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
