formatting[edit]

This appears to be a work in progress, so I'll leave some thoughts.

The list of contributors would work better organized into a table, with each row giving the story name, story length, writer, penciller, inker, colorist and letterer.
How did the "other creators" contribute?
There are three cover artists - was it a jam or were there variants?
In the long list of creators, only two get individual sources. Since the book itself is presumably a source for the others, why are these two singled out? Were they not credited in the pages? Argento Surfer (talk) 12:42, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

First I want to say thank you Argento Surfer for your input, this is indeed a work in progress.

1. I'm planning on doing this for the stories section, but I thought it would be best to organise it so that one could see all of the creators collected like this so that they could be linked from the infobox for easy information.

2. I havn't been able to find what all of them have done yet sadly. :(

3. I will find this out soon.

4. The two sources name all of them and I will use those two for all of them, I just keept it of for a time as I organised the page first.★Trekker (talk) 13:10, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive in-line refs[edit]

@*Treker and Mousymouse: I don't think every name on the list needs to have an inline citation, and the only name I was able to find on the list that has a separate citation than the IDW Publishing ref is 'Dennis Calero' being sourced using the 'Bleeding Cool' ref, but the name appears on both lists. I was unable to find any names of contributors that are on the article and not on the list from IDW Publishing, but I didn't go through and search for each one individually due to the sheer number of them. Given that appearing on the list from IDW is the majority, couldn't names that don't appear on that list have a note saying something like 'This contributor was omitted in IDW Publishing's list of contributors, but was mentioned in this source'? @*Treker:, can you elaborate on what contributors aren't in the list from IDW, and how would you feel about using a footnote to clear up this discrepancy? Waxworker (talk) 22:15, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Waxworker: I made this article many years ago, I can sadly not recal which exact names were not on the IDW list, but I'm fairly certain it was a couple of them, hence why I used other sources too. (Maybe I'm mistaken and he IDW list was updated at some point, I don't know.)★Trekker (talk) 19:20, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@*Treker: I have just painstakingly double-checked the 'writers' section of the list of contributors, and all of them were present on the IDW list. Fernando Blanco is listed twice in each section under writers, inkers, and colourists by mistake on the article, but I haven't remedied this yet as it would conflict with re-removing the excessive in-line refs once we've come to a conclusion. Given that every contributor's name on the article currently has the IDW ref used for it (with the writer's section being double-checked to be correct), with the only outlier I was able to see being 'Dennis Calero' who was on the IDW list anyways, I think the excessive in-line refs should be removed. If you'd like I can double-check ALL of the names, but given that the IDW ref is on every name and it would be very tedious for me (especially as a lot of the names are repeated), I'd rather not if I don't need to.

@Waxworker: Hi again, sorry for forgeting to followup. I think based on your search I'd be ok with a single citation, even if I don't personally think it really changes much.★Trekker (talk) 03:29, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
