Talk:List of LGBT periodicals

Newspapers
Do people think we should list gay newspapers here too if they aren't dailies? According to Pink Triangle Press, Xtra! (and its sister publications) are newspapers, but according to magazine, a magazine is a "periodical publication containing a variety of articles on various subjects. Magazines are typically published weekly, twice-monthly or monthly, and often have some colour-printed content and coated paper. "Journal" is sometimes used in reference to a magazine." All the Xtra! publications are biweekly, though in newspaper format. I don't know about the Sydney Star Observer but it sounds like a newspaper too. Exploding Boy 12:17, Feb 16, 2004 (UTC)


 * Actually, I'm thinking that since there is not, to the best of my knowledge, a daily "gay" newspaper anywhere in the world perhaps gay papers are best put here... Exploding Boy


 * The Sydney Star Observer is a weekly. It's in newspaper format, but nearly all the queer mags in Australia are (if not all). That's probably due to financial issues - the market here is obviously much smaller than in the states. Additionally, they were nearly all bought out by the one company than went broke, so I don't know what is and isn't still alive anymore (for instance, BrotherSister, which I listed, is gone I believe).

Pornographic gay magazines
Should we include pornographic gay magazines? Voyager640 06:16, 31 May 2004 (UTC)


 * I guess it would be ok? What do others think? Exploding Boy 09:12, May 31, 2004 (UTC)


 * Note that List_of_pornographic_magazines pretty much covers the topic of gay porn.—Teahot (talk) 11:56, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Problematic ISSN
I sent email to the publisher of the following journal almost 2 months ago, asking for a valid ISSN. Having not yet heard back, I am going to remove the ISSN since I have not been able to locate it anywhere. Kind Regards, Keesiewonder talk 01:04, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Trade: Queer Things (Toronto; Trade; )
 * Similar magazine found: ; this may not be the same thing but suspiciously similar ISSN. Now added to list.—Teahot (talk) 12:20, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Newspapers vs magazines
The previous question brings up a good point. Do we want to separate newspapers from magazines in this list? It would make for sense to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tdempsey (talk • contribs) 00:00, 15 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Probably not. There can be a pretty fine line in reality between publications that call themselves magazines versus newspapers. If a periodical is weekly rather than monthly, this can be added to the listing. For example, Boyz magazine is a free weekly with TV listings and a horoscope, a few years ago it was even printed in broadsheet format but still called itself a magazine.—Teahot (talk) 06:40, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Requested move
} move (which someone has already done). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:20, 12 May 2009 (UTC) List of LGBT publications → List of LGBT periodicals — The current term "publications" may be interpreted to be any website, blog, forum or document without an ISSN or official recognition. The term periodical has a stronger definition of a regular publication of magazine or newspaper format. — Teahot (talk) 10:49, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Survey

 * Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with  or  , then sign your comment with  . Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.


 * support per nom; although a strict application of WP:V could also be of help in keeping the article more encyclpedic. --  The Red Pen of Doom  00:15, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Move now made after a couple of days as it didn't seem that contentious. If you have a retrospective objection, please discuss it here before moving the page back.—Teahot (talk) 18:24, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Sites that should be removed from the list
Checking the UK section I noted that http://www.queeruk.net/ had been included. This is a forum site rather than a publication, as a rule should any site that has no regular printed publication associated with it be removed?—Teahot (talk) 06:56, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Using mag template
mag has been created to provide an easy citation template using the same format as citation but without having to setup all the parameter names. The format is: .

Unwanted terms can be dropped off right to left, so for example would be the simplest usage and  for a title with just the OCLC number. Using this is helpful rather than mandatory as it forces a style in standard use across Wikipedia.—Teahot (talk) 07:34, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

After comparing with List of pornographic magazines I have adapted the style to highlight title only as this works much better in a list format (as the standard citation format was not actually designed for magazine titles).—Teahot (talk) 12:37, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

RfC on journal list names
There is an RfC regarding the standardization of journal lists names. Please comment at Talk:List of journals. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 01:37, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Use of List journal
Many of the entries until recently used cite journal, but with no title= parameter, generatring citation errors. I have converted all these uses to the newly created list journal, which duplicates all the relevant parameters of cite journal but is adapted to making an entry in a list of journals or publications.
