Talk:NetBoy

Hello everyuser in Wonderful-Wikiland. I'm satisfied with the NetBoy wiki start. I'll keep expanding a little bit at a time as my research into print articles continue. I'm looking forward to enjoying the process of wiki.

looking for content contributors
Content contributors for NetBoy are wanted. There are two factually accurate and verifiable news articles currently not expanded from and referenced to on this page. First is People Magazine from March 13th 1995 Vol 43 No 10 Byting the Hand. Second is The Milwaukee Journal / via the New York Times - Jan 17, 1995 Internet shows a sense of humor. This represent Webcomics historical facts and may be deemed important as NetBoy is still updated to this day. Shuywiki (talk) 04:45, 4 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I have just wrapped the two news articles inside cite news and cite journal templates. I also replaced the Article issues with a simple expand template. There is also page 209 of the 2010 book Graphic Novels and Comics in Libraries and Archives that refers to Netboy as one of "the first true webcomics", but I am reluctant to add that to the article page because it gives a date of 1993 from Campbell's 2006 book, which I think is a mistake (other sources point to May 1994).

 * A Google Scholar search for "Stafford Huylers" returns two papers, one in Portuguese and one in Norwegian. Each cites Campbell and a 1993 launch date, the Norwegian specifying 1 July 1993 for Netboy and September 1993 for David Farley's Doctor Fun. Without sight of Campbell's actual words (and preferably his actual sources) it is difficult to decide how reliable these dates are. For good measure this Google archiver search returns direct mentions in a list of pay-per-view newspaper archives starting from Aug 14, 1994 to Oct 18, 1994. -84user (talk) 03:51, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Milwaukee Journal is no longer hosted by Google
The Milwaukee Journal is no longer hosted digitally by Google, which had a minor effect on the verifiability of this article (see broken link). The journal should be digitalized again in the future, but through a subscription fee. For what it's worth, I can confirm that the journal talks primarily about NetBoy, but also mentions Aaron A. Aardvark, The Afterlife of Bob, and Calvin and Hobbes. Source: ~ Mable ( chat ) 18:55, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
