Does this solve any problem that simply stating issues take place concurrently doesn't already properly address? Is there really anyone out there who needs a tool to tell them exactly when to jump from one comic to the other and back again on the off chance they have all of them open in front of them at the same time? The proper research is a lot to ask for if you don't have those other concurrent issues on hand. And it's all for minutiae. I don't understand why we should add another layer of things to do on a page for minimal gain when so much of what is already needed isn't getting done.

Well nobody is forcing editors to do that level of research, however, if they want to take a stab at it if they do it properly, they can figure it out. That said the old "if don't have those other concurrent issues on hand" is kind of a straw man argument. It's the 21st century. Reprints, TPBs, libraries, or digital downloads are not hard to track down. If you're serious about contributing to the Wiki and want to be as complete as possible then you can do the legwork to track down everything you need to do the proper research.

Well, you are entitled to your opinion on the validity of this endeavor. However, we've already decided that we are going to map out chronologies.

To bring things back on topic, I'd love to hear any ideas on to move going forward, I'd like to hear them.
