I am in need for some help with some details for the new index.

According to INDUCKS/COA Rosa-covers are printed inside the following publications:

The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck (DeLuxe edition)
LTSM 1 (1996)

Uncle Scrooge Adventures in Color by Don Rosa (album series):
USADR 1 (1996)
USADR 2 (1996)
USADR 3 (1996)
USADR 4 (1996)

Walt Disney's Comics in Color 1st album series
WIC 2 (1988)
WIC 3 (1990)
WIC 4 (1990)
WIC 5 (1990)
WIC 7 (1990)

Can anyone please tell me if these cover-illustrations are full (or almost full) page prints, or just smaller illustrations?

Quote from user: Roger NorthWell Sigvald you could include the list of stories and maybe the list of characters as well.
Include WHAT, WHERE?
This index lists all of Don Rosa's Disney-stories. I haven't included any list of all appearing characters, though. Maybe an idea for future versions of the index.

Hey Sigvald!
Did you make use of Inducks in your book? I'm asking this because I'm trying to make a list of use of Inducks data for that page.

I see that someone marked it for deletion. Silly idea.

Luckily the result of the discussion ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/INDUCKS ) was KEEP -

* The site is purely promotional in nature: first the Inducks is non-commercial and distributed under a free licence. Second it seems to me that the real names mentioned in this article (some of which are not people of Inducks like Per Starback) were copied from articles to this Wikipedia entry. If you look at the main website, you'll see that the contributors names are very well hidden. So I don't see any promotion goal, although I would actually prefer to remove most names since they're not of much interest.
* Claims to be "the second largest freely available comics database", but its an unsupported self proclamation that does not establish real notability: I removed that sentence now (which was not on the website BTW), but with 80,000 indexed comics it surely is noticable.
* Primarily sources are the site itself and fan sites, along with a few that do not even mention INDUCKS at all. I have added lots of other sources scholar and external, please have a look at them. There is no study per se on Inducks, but it's an established and recognized source of information (especially for Disney publishers who use codes that were originally made up by Inducks).
* Additionally, the site appears to violate numerous Disney copyrights. Actually no: Inducks does not contain any image, Outducks does. It is a collection of fan websites that provide thumbnails of covers and stories. An Inducks search engine, COA, has links to those thumbnails, but those are not hosted on inducks.org.
