:::::::::I am well familiar with its definition. I am also aware that its usage is most commonly associated with historical events for which there is no hope in pinpointing a more precise date. Anyway, this is evolving into a meta-discussion of "how do we date things in general" which isn't really right for an individual toon's Talk. I submit we restrict talk here to dating The Luau, we discuss how to date other disputed toons on their individual article Talk pages, and we find a more appropriate Talk to discuss whatever overriding policy needs to prevail. Though at this juncture I don't think we even need a unified approach. What's the most accurate way to date this toon? That's the essential question, and whatever is the most accurate, the least ambiguous, that's what we should do. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:17, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Picking this discussion back up, I did some research using the Wayback Machine as well. After loading the archived HTML pages for [[The Luau]] and the first seven Strong Bad Emails, I then checked the each page's page info and got last-modified dates as shown in the first table. Obviously, [[some kinda robot]] would have to have been released in August or earlier, and I'd bet those three emails weren't released within one day of each other. I think it's reasonable that these toons were released on or before the dates shown in the second table.
 
-
 
-
This assumes that, even if they were turning out emails every week, they would have taken a break after 9/11. It's speculation, of course, and I could be off by a week here or there. The important question is, how exactly should the information in the first table be used to update the articles? &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:05, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

{{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=All_Toons&diff=617238&oldid=617050 This edit}} moved several things around, and in doing so accidentally removed several items from the list (for example, [[Main Page 8]]).

Greeting Cards and E-mail Birds say they were made before gimmicks. No, they were made after montage, when the dvd came out.
 
-
Accent says it was made before more armies. No, it was made when the dvd came out.
 
-
Comic Book Movie REALLY bugs me. It says it was made before SBEmail Disc 5 came out.
 
-
Who's to say the DVD Emails, or DVDmails, weren't made when the other DVD stuff was made? I'd change it, but I'm bad at editing tables. [[User:SBE-mail Checker Dan|SBE-mail Checker Dan]] 01:09, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:We sort of assumed that the emails were made roughly around the time they look like they're from given Strong Bad's computer and the animation style. Now that you question that assumption I see no reason why you couldn't be entirely correct. We need proof one way or the other. This calls for a full investigation. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 01:20, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::Part of the problem is the list is inconsistent.  Generally before 2005, the toons are slotted in the list approximately when they are guessed they were made, however, starting with [[strongbad_email.exe Disc 4]], it looks like all the bonus features on the DVD are given the release date of the disc.  We should decide for this list which will it be: when the toons made it out into the wild, or when they were roughly made. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:43, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::I think that the date should be the release of the DVD. Guesses about possibilities on when they were made belong in the Fun Facts of the email. At any rate, the table say '''Release Date''' at the top. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 17:43, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::I agree with [[User:Elcool|Elcool]]. The table is intended to list the '''Release Date'''; I think the creation date is another item altogether.

What exactly are the postcards? (First Postcard, Second Postcard, etc.) I've searched this wiki for and googled the names of each of them, and I can't find out what they are. Should these items be noted with an asterix and explained at the bottom of the table?

== By month? ==

I was wondering if someone out there with too much time on their hands could add a column that lists them by month. Or at least make a listof all the toons (at least staring with the weekly updates with sbemail #9) and re-arrange them by month (ie: January 1st toons first and December 31st toons last) and put it on this talk page, so i can copy it to a word doc and then he/she can delete it? thanks!

== [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]] ==

There seems to be an inaccuracy here regarding the message bored. This page lists the date as 2004, but the description page says it was taken down in 03. Add to that the fact that the tandy mentioned it in [[invisibility|2002]]. Does anyone know the actual date when the bored was put up so we can fix this? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:49, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

== October Surprise ==
 
-
So the page lists the release of [[Punkin Stencils]] as October 14, 2004, and links to the [[HR:ween_stencils.html|current version of the page]] on the H*R wedsize, which was originally released on that date in the "patch" format and received updates yearly through 2009. But there is an [[HR:stencils.html|earlier version]] from October 20, 2003, that, while on a different page, serves basically the same purpose and is covered on the same page on the wiki. Should the listing already on this page be changed to October 20, 2003, or should another listing for the 2003 stencils be made? {{User:DEIDATVM/sig}} 03:40, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 
-
:I've decided to be ''b&mdash;'' I mean, be ''bol&mdash;'' I mean, be ''bold'' and list the 2003, 2004, 2007 and 2009 Pumpkin Stencils separately, since there are things like [[Stinkoman 20X6]], [[vacation]] and [[Strong Sad's Lament]] that have multiple installments listed. I've chosen those years' versions because 2003 is the first, 2004 introduced a new format and moved to a different page, 2007 also introduced a different format, and 2009 introduced the Homestar commentary and Devil Homestar Easter egg. Which raises a different question: should the 2005, 2006 and 2008 versions also be listed? {{User:DEIDATVM/sig}} 00:58, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

== Three different dates ==
 
-
Most of the time when I've noticed a date that has a mismatch between [[All Toons]], [[H*R.com updates]] and the article for the item in question, two agree and one (usually or possibly always All Toons) can be changed to match the other two. [[Marshie vs. Little Girl‎]], however, is the first one I've noticed that has ''three'' different dates: Sunday, October 21, 2007 on H*R.CU, Monday, October 22, 2007 on its own dang page, and October 23, 2007|Tuesday on this one. {{User:DEIDATVM/sig}} 03:09, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 
-
:The page was created by me slightly before midnight Central Time on Sunday, even though it was actually almost an hour after midnight Eastern Time. Sunday was the date I put on the updates page, and it seems to have gone unnoticed until now. Someone else put Monday on the toon page, apparently adjusting for the correct time zone. An anonymous user added the toon to this page the following day. They put Tuesday, and like the updates page it's never been changed. They should probably all be Monday. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:08, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
