Forum:CT Archive/Repealing the Story arc vs. Issue decision

Yes, I'm here to start more trouble. As you may know, I was never a fan of the outcome in the Story arc vs. Issue vote, but I went with it. When it comes to comics in "Appearances" lists, I generally just don't touch them. But now, I'm proposing we repeal this vote. Why? Two things:

1) It doesn't work. I believe the original idea was to list the story arc when the character or subject appears in every issue, but no one does that. They list every issue instead.

2) More importantly, this vote was passed not too long before we started sourcing articles. One of the main points people seemed to be support the "single issue" thing for was that it could show you exactly which issues the subject appeared in so that if people wanted to look it up, they could. This is what sourcing does. Now, we could list story arcs under "Appearances" and still source individual issues for the "References" section.

Support (repeal)
