This article violates WP:IN-U and WP:PLOT. In-universe “biographies” on fictional characters are completely un-encyclopedic no matter how notable the character is. LittleJerry ( talk) 00:45, 26 December 2010 (UTC) reply
Further, by attempting to make this into a coherent chronology, all this "fictional history" does is try to present the current "official" Marvel Comics continuity for the character: Wolverine as he is depicted in Marvel Comics in 2010. This involves ignoring or smoothing over continuity errors or questions, and a sliding time scale that further obscures and contradicts the real world publication info. The "1970s" section particularly illustrates this well: it states that he met spies whose young son would become Spider-Man, and all of this happens three whole article headers before his adventures with the X-Men. In truth, Spider-Man was in his second decade of publication in the 1970s, and the story about his parents having been spies was a much later introduction (they are depicted as already deceased when Spider-Man's story begins). Wolverine was introduced in 1974 and was made part of the X-Men title the following year, and those stories were set in the present. Marvel can pretend all it likes in its current stories that the stories it published in the 1970s happened in later years, and we can note that conceit, but those are 1970s stories. It's simply unacceptable to give undue weight to whatever happens to be the current canon in fashion, to ignore that some story elements were later introductions or that the stories, when published, took place at a certain time or were premised upon certain depictions that were later altered in subsequent stories.
To "fix" this would require a complete rewrite, a start from scratch. A proper History of Wolverine (cf. History of Superman) would track the character's publication history, with perhaps sections on certain character elements: "backstory," "powers", etc., but within those sections still showing how those elements were developed over time and by whom: all of these elements were authored by artists and writers (apparently rather unnecessary facts for "fictional histories"). The main article at Wolverine (comics) already contains a good deal of this history, in the proper order and context, and this "fictional history" adds nothing of merit to that. postdlf ( talk) 14:33, 26 December 2010 (UTC) reply
