message: Just wondering...the article references the supposed ban on lining up for the convention is forbidden, but is this actually enforced? I only have 2 Comike under my belt, both in 2004, but while we were all aware that our lining up like that was technically against the law, there was no enforcement (hell, if anything, there was full co-operation) of that by the police or by the convention staff. Or is this ban just on lining up on the days before the event, as suggested later on in the article? That much I suppose would make sense, seeing that the lines didn't seem to build or get organised until around midnight on either event. --Mukashi 03:30, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

message: "Ticktank's English Guide to Comiket" and "The Road to Comiket" seem to be ancient blog posts by some random anonymous people, should they really be there? "Swarm Effect" is a Youtube video likewise uploaded by some anonymous user, that claims it is a video of "Black Friday in Japan". These seem highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. 2404:2D00:5000:701:FCA2:DD7:6AAA:86AE (talk) 19:58, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It's safe to say neither "Ticktank's English Guide to Comiket" nor "The Road to Comiket" qualify as a  reliable sources, but per WP:ELMAYBE,  are permissible to include as external links. Anecdotal, but when I attended Comiket a few years ago I discovered Ticktank's guide through this article, and it proved to be extremely useful in planning my trip; when I cleaned up the article a few years ago, I pruned the external links but decided to keep both of those guides. I do agree that the "Swarm Effect" video is not useful due to the misattribution you've noted, and should be replaced by a video that correctly identifies the phenomenon as occurring at Comiket.

replies: text: I'm not sure what you mean by "phenomenon" here: This is not something naturally occurring, the Comic Market staff manage the queues meticulously. This is not swarm behaviour. If that is the sort of misconception the link is perpetuating then it should definitely be removed. 2404:2D00:5000:701:2CA6:8376:22F9:67D8 (talk) 02:02, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I meant moreso a video showing crowd control/crowd logistics at Comiket. Also re: Comiket/Comike, it's not strictly accurate to do a hits comparison, since a search for "Comic Market" is inevitably going to pick up other comic book conventions/events that have nothing to do with the subject of this article. This event is overwhelmingly referred to as "Comiket" in English-language sources, and barring any sudden shift in language use, is how it should be referred to in the article.
