On each of the pages above, add a new page for the upcoming year.
Then copy the format from the previous year's page for each.

thread_title:  Yearly update 

message: This starts our new notice board. It was moved to this page due to capitalisation (Board/board), and to keep the edit history of the old noticeboard intact, since in the past items were directly added to the noaticeboard, instead of through transclusion per the current system.
In the future, all that will be required is to create the new year's pages for transclusion, and update the transclusion links.
Enjoy, and happy new year : ) - jc37 01:26, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ms. Marvel 

message: Recently I tried to ad an external link for Mineshaft magazine to Robert Crumb's Wikipedia listing.  It was suggested to me by the Wikipedia editor who removed it that I put the question up for other editors to decide.  I would like to ask Wikipedia editors to consider putting Mineshaft magazine back on Robert Crumb's External Links section.  Mineshaft is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about Robert Crumb. Mineshaft has published more art and letters by R. Crumb than any other contemporary U.S. magazine. Mineshaft has been publishing R. Crumb since 2000 when he discovered the magazine, eighteen issues in a row. He has drawn the magazine's logos, 9 front covers, 8 back covers, and has contributed a total of 119 pages of artwork and letters. And he's encouraged other great artists to contribute to the magazine. He's sent Mineshaft contributions from his wife, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, his daughter, Sophie Crumb, and writer, J.R. Helton. "It's my favorite magazine..," says R. Crumb (letter to the editor published in Mineshaft #18). No entry on Robert Crumb's modern work is complete without a reference to Mineshaft. Mineshaft is not a big money maker. It's hard to find and Wikipedia is an important place to be able to discover R. Crumb's recent work. For a recent review of Mineshaft go to the Comics Reporter,<a href="http://www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/briefings/cr_reviews/12670/"/>Tom Spurgeon's "The Comics Reporter" </a>.Aloha67 (talk) 21:21, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, all that says is that the magazine contains sketches of Crumb's.  It doesn't mention him in any other way.  Ford MF (talk) 21:33, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mineshaft External Link Request 

message: I just created an account to put this up, my first time using Wikipedia, so bear with me.
I would like to see the pages for comic book characters contain cohesive publication histories.  Many already have this, but read out in paragraph form and often seem to contain retcons and commentary on the character.  An example of this is Bucky's page.  What I am suggesting is a list of what the character has been featured in, possibly including notable guest appearances or cameos.  Specifically, each item in the list will state the name of series, the volume number, and the issue or range of issues, as well as date artist and author.  A very short explanation of the character's involvement can coincide with each item of the list (i.e. team member, villian, guest appearance, cameo, parody, etc).  This is a tall order, but something I've always felt was sorely misshandled in Wikipedia's comic book character pages. Primal Zed (talk) 18:25, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Publication Histories 

message: Given that a number of footnoted pages in the Comics Project have disappeared (Jess Nevins' treasures among them — and despite what one person has said, they don't appear to be archived), I've been slowly going through pages I've created and putting as many references as I can into the WebCite archive here. I'll start other pages after that, but obviously this is too big for any one person. I urge all my fellow editors to start archiving existing links, and to automatically create an archive when adding footnotes. (This isn't practical for every single footnote; some sites have no-cache tags preventing archiving. But we should do this where we can.)--Tenebrae (talk) 01:09, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: WebCite and link rot

message: The link to "Recent Creations" needs to be updated to link to the newly created 2010 page, rather than to the 2009 page. I would do it, but I believe this page can only be edited by admins. -- Tenebrae (talk) 21:02, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Link update needed

message: Voting has begun here on a proposed addition the WikiProject Comics' Manual of Style. A consensus discussion resulted in the decision that we include creator bibliographies. Given that, we need a guideline to bring consistency to the present hodgepodge of ways comic-book creators' credits are presented.
For the full background discussion by nine editors, see Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (comics)#Bibliographies: Discussion background. Please go here to vote/comment. --Tenebrae (talk) 14:56, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed addition to Comics Project Manual of Style

message: Only three editors have responded so far. Given that a consensus exists to keep creator bibliographies, we need to have some sort of style guide for them, as opposed to the hodgepodge we have now. One of Wikipedia's guidelines is to have consistency across similar articles. We need a range of editors' feedback in order to fix the mishmash. With thanks, --Tenebrae (talk) 15:17, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Project-members: Need more input

thread_title: Fictional history of Spider-Man

message: I'm I afraid I may have some bad news. User:Pepso2 and I recently began a project to archive Don Markstein's Toonopedia now that Don has passed and we were afraid his invaluable site would go down. I did all of "A" and the first part of "C", and Pepso was working on "B." I was about to contact a couple other Comics Project Members to help ... and then just now I tried going to Toonopedia and got "You don't have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request." I hope this is only temporary. If it does come back — it was done for a few days once before — we should probably make a Project-wide effort to archive it as quickly as we can. Don put his life into that thing, and it'd be terrible to see his life's work evaporate.--Tenebrae (talk) 02:12, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
