message: Resolved
In the time since the above debate ended, a separate article called comic book collecting was created, only to have its contents merged with and become a redirect to this article. I brought this up with WikiProject Comics and the consensus was that panelology is far more obscure term and the redirect ought to be the other way around. Since both pages have history, a move is not simple in this case, so I have initiated a formal move request process. If you disagree (or agree, for that matter), please add your comments here. --GentlemanGhost 17:48, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge

message: I think it would be helpful and hopefully acceptable under WP:Fair use if the section on the 90s boom could include a picture or two, e.g. of glow-in-the-dark or embossed covers. AlmostReadytoFly (talk) 14:45, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Its fine and encouraged to contribute to an article as long as your doing such from a  Neutral Point of View and without a  Conflict of Interest. Also note this article has 3 tags that have been here for years. Namely it needs reliable 3rd party references. So it's good etiiquette to work on some of the cleanups as well.--0pen$0urce (talk) 19:01, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: In that vein, let me also comment on the recent addition about Comic Guaranty LLC. It's entirely unsourced, goes into way too much detail about their processes, & reads like a PR release. I called it spam & removed it, & my opinion hasn't changed. I'm also beginning to think the editor adding it is in COI. I'm of the firm opinion this is junk that doesn't belong. A passing mention of the company in the XL section may be warranted, & even that might fail the spamlink test. Otherwise, leave it out.

replies: text: I stumbled across this on RCP and I just wanted to say that I agree – the addition was a hideously long block of text in the middle of the article; poorly-written and was blatantly promotional. Basalisk inspect damage⁄berate 00:55, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

text: It's not spam, it's just overkill, a way, way , waaaay too long section for this article. If the problem is that the CGC article is protected, you can ask for unprotection there, but don't edit disruptively here because of problems there. Fram (talk) 13:14, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I consider it spam because it's so obviously promotional & excessively detailed about the company's work. Even if not spam, it's unwarranted. Do us a favor. Stop.  TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura  14:08, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: To be brutally honest, I don't think this point needs further discussion. The proposed section on CGC which the IP keeps trying to push is inappropriate for a plethora of reasons. I find it pretty hard to accept the argument of "it just isn't spam...because it isn't" when vast swathes of it are blatantly advertising. Even besides that, the section is bloody huge! It accounts for roughly half the article, which is ridiculous. I'm not sure it would even be appropriate for inclusion on the CGC article (poor formatting, promotion etc.) but even if it is, spamming here simply because you're desperate to have the information included somewhere, anywhere on wikipedia isn't the answer.

text: Just because I don't agree with you does not make me retarded. I can't be bothered to trawl through pages of text sorting out what's blatant promotion and what's not, all the while re-writing the whole passage so it actually makes grammatical sense. Perhaps that's something the original poster could do. Please do not make personal attacks. I'm a person in the real world! Basalisk inspect damage⁄berate 19:04, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Contributions and References

message: The article Subscription crease has been an unsourced orphan for years. It's content is small and directly related to comic book collecting. I propose Subscription crease be redirected to comic book collecting and merged into the article somewhere. Argento Surfer (talk) 21:54, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Support. Not notable on its own IMO.  TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura  22:44, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

text: Support. Unlikely to develop into a larger article. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 21:33, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  PETA comic book 

message: The article looks basically sound (in my opinion).  I have been a comic book collector since circa 1967.  I was just going to add some more citations (footnotes).

thread_title:  Edit request on 7 August 2013 

message: I suggest references are added immediately or else the unreferenced material removed. In particular I object to the unreferenced sentence about "true collectors". This reads like subjective opinion rather than verifiable fact.
I suggest the mention of an "upcoming sequel to Man of Steel" is changed to the reflect the fact the Superman vs Batman film has been released now.
