Inviting numbers check, clarity check (is what's written and do the charts and graphs make sense?), questions, comments etc. on this topic. Not sure where to link this one either to the wiki. Given some people's sensitivity about sales as a topic, would like to make sure it's reasonably in good shape before making it public. --randomanon 03:44, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

At a glance, the projection and charts look rather solid and easy to understand to me. Best linked in the Articles category? One thing that I think could be improved on would be transforming the image with the current sales into a sortable wiki-table. (it might be easier to read?) --Knon 07:01, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Does someone know how to make a sortable wiki-table? That is well beyond my abilities with wiki. --randomanon 11:38, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
When you start your table, write: {|class="wikitable sortable". Then create your table like any other table (start a cell with |, make a new row with |-, close the table with |}). See here for an example (with a little more formatting; ! creates a header cell) --Homerun-chan 11:48, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
I agree. It's time to move this piece from your talk page to its own analysis section. - Prima 07:13, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
In terms of readability, maybe a good improvement would be to add graphs of the different tables? I for one find the figures easier to interpret as a graph than as a table.
Regarding the categorization, I'd add this article in Category:Articles at least. Maybe link it from the Products page too? (add a "See also" section or something --come to think of it, that's where the links to Merchandise, Fanworks and Teasers and Commercials would belong too) --Homerun-chan 10:32, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Yes, I can make graphs of these too. That's not a problem. I'll wait a little to see if anyone has feedback on the data first before making graphs. And wherever people want to link it from is fine by me. This will be the permanent page I'll be updating for sales statistics and analysis going forward, rather than my talk page. --randomanon 11:38, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Trying to make the table here before deciding what to do with it. If someone can think of a way to improve it, please feel free to change it. My thinking is it's just a big table and going to only get bigger with 6 volumes and 32 weeks of sales eventually. So it will go on it's own page and be linked from the main page. Also, not as flexible in format and more difficult to maintain than what I'm doing in Excel and copy/pasting as a pic to the wiki. --randomanon 13:12, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
