Talk:List of all comics (1501-2000)

Hmm is there a way we can have a column linking to the original explainxkcd blog entry if it exists? --SurturZ (talk) 08:55, 5 August 2012 (EDT)

Sure, that makes perfect sense, especially since the comments were very important for many of the comics. Feel free to add it :) --Waldir (talk) 14:27, 5 August 2012 (EDT)

The create-links don't work because "Template:Create" has to be written with a capital C. Unfortunately, text replacing is not installed. --Kronf (talk) 13:58, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Dates

The dates for comics 12 and 5 can be deduced from the dates of the adjacent comics - they're all 2005-09-30. We can also make a jab at guessing that comic number 36 is between 2005-10-28 and 2005-10-26. Those comments in the source annoy me, and I wish them gone. We could also jump on the XKCD forums and see if they know anything, but the relative dates should be telling enough. Davidy²²(talk) 09:06, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

XKCD back in 2005 was not published on a regular schedule. Randall doesn't have logs from when those comics went live, so the dates are in fact lost to history. lcarsos_a (talk) 15:57, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Yeeah, but we can see from the dates on comics submitted around the unknowns that the first 14 comics seem to have been batch-uploaded on the same day, and that comics 35 and 37 leave a three-day range that comic 36 could have been published on, the most likely of those dates being 2005-10-27 given the way that Randall seems to never release two comics on the same day after his initial 14.
