I'm completing this PR listing for the anon 117.195.6.146 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). I'll ask them momentarily to swing by and add thoughts on what they're looking for with this PR.

I think the ongoing series should still have the last release on it. The color coding can be keyed so that people reading it realize green=ongoing. Knowing the last release date for ongoing seires is just as relevant as finished series, especially if that series goes into hiatus periods.陣内 _Jinnai 08:29, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's been my intent with the list for a long time, but other editors periodically replace the last released date on ongoing series with "Ongoing", and I don't necessarily feel like fighting over it. Similarly, while it is pretty easy to do this with the last volume release, the last chapter release is a different story; I'm not sure how best to handle that. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 14:44, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well both collums should be the same, either serialized or tankoban. You'll just confuse the readers otherwise, even those who are familiar with manga.陣内 _Jinnai 23:25, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Finetooth comments: This is an interesting and well-developed list. Here are some suggestions for further improvement:

Readers who can't see the colors might find a key box with a special symbol to be helpful. The key box could replace the explanatory line, "Ongoing series are highlighted in light green." Here's how the box might look:

Key
† Ongoing series

The † could then be inserted in each appropriate box in the "Volumes" column to show that the row is colored.

It would be good to expand the lead to include a brief explanation of manga and tankōbon. They are linked, but it would be helpful to non-fans to give them a quick start without having to read other articles. The lead should also include a more detailed summary of what the list contains. For example, it might mention the series with the most volumes through October 2010 and the series with the fewest. It might say something about the range of sizes. It could also give a summary of the kinds of contents; i.e., baseball, racing, or whatever.

"Manga" should not be double-bolded in the lead. Since linking adds the second layer of bolding, you might have to link to "manga" on second reference instead of first. Other work-arounds are possible.

The list has an awful lot of red links. I would not redlink anything in the list more than once. There's no point in linking Ushio Shuppansha twice in the "Reference" section as well as in the list. A lot of red links would go away if you eliminated this kind of redundancy.

You'll need to address the "citation needed" tags.

The all-caps and bolding in the "Title" column should be replaced with words in Wikipedia house style; i.e., title case without bolding.

As many of the question marks as possible should be replaced with sourced data.

I hope these suggestions prove helpful. If so, please consider reviewing another article, especially one from the PR backlog at WP:PR; that is where I found this one. I don't usually watch the PR archives or check corrections or changes. If my comments are unclear, please ping me on my talk page. Finetooth (talk) 17:40, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
