@ Kurzon: I previously objected via edit summary to your addition of this section, but allow me to start a discussion and explain my reasoning. First of all, the notable facts/observations you mention under each novel are pretty much already in the article, in sections discussing those aspects of the fictional creature. But I will check and make sure this is the case. So rehashing info serves no purpose; a sandworm is not an actual character whose plotlines need to be summarized in a linear fashion in their own section to give understanding. Also, I've checked the text and melange is not italicized (as a "foreign" word might be). Thanks.— TAnthony Talk 15:02, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
@ TAnthony: I'd hate to delete a good-faith edit that you just made, but this paragraph you added to the lede feels very superfluous.:
The sandworms have been called "iconic", "synonymous with the Dune series", and "essential to the narrative of the story", having appeared in nearly every novel, on several book covers, and in all of the television, film, and video game adaptations.

I think the reader should be able to draw that conclusion just from reading the article's description of the sandworms' role in the books. Your line is kind of like saying "Hobbits are important in the Lord of the Rings novels".
Also, I hate the word "iconic". That's just my taste. I personally try to avoid it. Kurzon ( talk) 19:32, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
For somebody unfamiliar with the Dune universe, it is not clear if Little Makers, sandtrout and water stealers are the same thing:
The lede image of a sandworm should be an image that Frank Herbert approved of. That novel was published when he was still alive. Kurzon ( talk) 17:04, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
Okay, what about the Schoenherr image from 1965? That's the oldest illustration of a sandworm and Herbert liked it. Kurzon ( talk) 17:31, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
