Question about a magazine's extra publications
Hi Project Magazine people, could someone answer this question for me? When National Lampoon (magazine) was in its heyday in the 70s, about 4 times a year they would put out various special publications that were also sold on newsstands, but that were not actually that month's issue of the magazine, they were separate additional things. Quite often these were large-format paperback books, such as "National Lampoon Gentleman's Bathroom Companion" in 1975. Does anyone know what you would call these publications? I am assuming there is a proper term for them... Do you call them special issues or what, because they were in addition to the regular issues. Many thanks, Invertzoo (talk) 15:27, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I have added this article to the project. I have my doubts about whether it is anything more than an attempt to promote a startup attempt but I am not familiar with notability requirements for such articles so maybe someone here can have a look. Looks like most google hits are unrelated. -- KenWalker | Talk 14:49, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Stub sorting, you can help!
On a whim, I started my stub-sorting career with the Magazines. When I started, the "" and "" categories where both oversized and were barely distinguishable in the types of articles they contained. I've now created a number of new categories, and am completing sorting these two main categories out into my opinion of appropriate categories.

I would welcome help in a number of areas. Dawynn (talk) 13:15, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Feel free to review the stub categories and make sure that magazines are placed in appropriate categories.  (Note: please follow the stub sorting guidelines before creating any new stub categories)  Please move any mis-sorted articles to a new appropriate category.  Avoid the mag-stub and culture-mag-stub when possible, as these are non-defining categories. (feel free to review my remarks on the talk page for the cultural magazine stubs)
 * 2) The  could use some sorting.  Anyone well versed in academia would be helpful here.
 * 3) And of course, these are stubs.  Many of these may be able to be moved up the class ladder.  I've included a number of articles that were either marked stub or unassessed.  After review, if someone determines an article is deserving of start-class or higher, then reclass the article, and remove the stub tags.  Also, feel free to improve any of these articles so the stub tags can be removed.

Cats by country
Does anyone know whether there's been a consensus regarding how magazines are categorized by country if the magazine publishes international editions? Some such magazine articles are categorized only in its primary/initial country of publication while other (and fewer) articles are categorized with each "by country" cat that applies based on having international editions. Either way has merits to me. Any thoughts?  Mbinebri  talk &larr; 18:54, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Your Shot - National Geographic Magazine
The National Geographic Magazine page could be improved by a discussion of "Your Shot". This photography competition is based on the National Geographic website and it has a large, international following. Every month, the winners of the competition are published in the National Geographic magazine. One of these winners was the notorious Crasher Squirrel. Another winner was spotted by the band Weezer, who used the image for the Raditude album cover. It was also the focus for a debate on digital manipulation, when National Geographic was tricked into printing a doctored image after it won the contest (here). Your Shot is a significant photo contest, and as such it deserves a mention. --Ofe13999 (talk) 11:04, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Magazine articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Magazine articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Sunday, November 14th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of November, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

If you have already provided feedback, we deeply appreciate it. For the Wikipedia 1.0 editorial team, SelectionBot 16:34, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

How to organize content about magazines
I started Magazines in Houston to chronicle all of the small/minor magazines published in Houston that are featured in secondary reliable sources.

I now have a lot of information about a series of neighborhood magazines which later were published under the single unifying masthead "Houston City Life." The magazines were started by one company, but were transferred to another company. Should I start two articles each, one about each company, and redirect "Houston City Life" to Media Link? Or should I start an article on "Houston City Life" and redirect "Media Ink" to "Houston City Life"? (I am not aware of Media Ink publishing other magazines, but the Creneau company published other magazines that were not related to "Houston City Life")

Chiropractic Economics
As the editor of this publication, I've reviewed the entry for Chiropractic Economics magazine and it seems to be in good order. All details listed are correct and validated with neutral, unbiased (i.e., non-internal) references and links.

I'd like to get the "problematic" label removed from this entry. If anyone can assist me in resolving this issue, I'd be highly grateful.

Regarding the "questionable" activity regarding links, I believe the Webmaster made some edits, but not for SEO purposes directly.

Proposed deletion of Prince William Living


The article Prince William Living has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * I don't think that notability can be established for this magazine.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

List of past subjects/articles covered in a magazine
Hi. I'm not a regular participant in this WikiProject, so I wonder if more experienced editors can have a look at the Tokyo Journal article, which I have been involved in editing. I'm particularly curious as to whether it is normal practice to include an ever-increasing list of all the past topics and subjects covered in a particular magazine, as is the case in the "Features" section of this article. Thanks for any comments or advice. --DAJF (talk) 08:47, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've had a go at it. It is indeed not normal to include such sections (see our magazine article writing guide). Such list basically constitute unsourced OR and SYNTH. (Although editors often argue that the source for this is the tables of content; even when accepting that argument, there remains the fact that such lists reflect what particular editors find important about the magazine's content, which still is OR/SYNTH). As a rule of thumb, like any info in articles on any other subject, information on a specific article or contributor should only be included if there exist reliable sources independent of the magazine that cover such contributions or subject lists. Hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 12:27, 29 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for having a look at the article and cleaning it up to bring it in line with the manual of style guidelines. Thanks also for providing a link to the guidelines about adding too much puff about past contents. They confirmed what I suspected was probably the case, but I just couldn't lay my hands on them. --DAJF (talk) 01:04, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Leaflet For Wikiproject Magazines At Wikimania 2014
Hi all,

My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.

One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.

This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:

• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film

• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.

• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.

• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____

• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost

For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to: Project leaflets Adikhajuria (talk) 13:10, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

I created Treats! and then I ran into a brick wall. Can't even find the editor. Not sure if I should blank the page.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:28, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * At this point, I am unable to find an WP:RS regarding its editorial membership or its debut. The two things that I have found about its debut are http://fashioncopious.typepad.com/fashioncopious/2011/04/treats-magazine-debut-issue-irene-lambers-cassy-gerasimova.html and http://www.tonpetitlook.com/fr/2011/04/27/decouverte-treats-magazine, neither of which appears to be a WP:RS. I can't find anything about its management.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:10, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Also, I am unable to explain its claim of being quarterly. It seems its first issue came out in April 2011 and its third about a year later. To date it seems to have been published 7 times making it seem semiannual to me.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:14, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I am also unable to find a RS that documents its price, which is $20/issue or $34.9? for a (1 yr or 4 issue?) subscription.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:25, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Also, there is no RS documenting its fine arts print collection offerings at $395 per print.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:39, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Eyes needed on Treats!
I'm requesting eyes ( and input ) on the talk page of Talk:Treats!. On the article I removed an image here as I believed it failed NFCC 3, 5, & 8. I placed a note on the talk page with a detailed rationale, The admin chillum agreed with me, however, TonyTheTiger did not and he  restored the image. I'm seeking consensus on whether or not this image violated NFCC 3,5 & 8. Thanks !  Kosh Vorlon    20:02, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Please note that the image was restored along with the addition of corresponding text in the article and further explaination on the talk page of the need for a color image so as not to mislead the reader into believing this is a black-and-white art magazine as might be inferred from the more famous image in the infobox.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:22, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!


Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Intereconomics
Dear all,

I have noticed that you have decide to classify Intereconomics as a maganize. But as stated in Springer (the publisher), it is a journal: http://www.springer.com/economics/policy/journal/10272?countryChanged=true

And if you see the classification in here: http://www.lib.sfu.ca/help/research-assistance/format-type/scholarly-journals you will see that it is not necessary that a journal is peer-reviewed to be a journal (for example: "The majority of scholarly journals go through the peer-review process, although there are some that are scholarly and non-peer reviewed, such as Journal of financial econometrics."(I am guessing that that is the reason why you changed from journal to magazine. If it is because something else please tell me).

Here you can also see the difference between a peer-reviewed journal and a journal that is not peer-reviewed: http://guides.library.cornell.edu/c.php?g=31867&p=201759

Thank you for your time.

Question about firstdate parameter
Should the date for firstdate in Infobox magazine be the date that is printed on the cover of the magazine, issue date, or the date which the magazine was released for sale? —Farix (t &#124; c) 12:56, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I think it should be the issue date, usually the masthead date. The date the magazine was released for sale is not always easy to tell, and although it can be quite different from the issue date that's something that can be explained in the body of the article.  The fact that the two don't correspond is something many readers won't know, so it would be confusing to use release date.  Where the cover and the masthead disagree, it's a little harder to say, but usually this means that the issue was delayed so the cover was printed (or overprinted) with a later date.  In those cases I'd go with whatever the sources index the issue as.  That's rare for a first issue, though; usually it happens in the middle of a run when a magazine is experiencing difficulties of some kind. Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 14:31, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
 * So let's use Weekly Shōnen Jump as an example. If the date on the first cover says August 1, then that is the date that should be listed in firstdate instead of the July 2, 1968 date that a source in the article? I'll also point out the the Media Arts Database (MADb), published by Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs, only gives the issues dates for everything published before the October 18, 2009 issue. The reason for this clarification is that I know I'm going to encounter resistance as I update manga magazine articles to reflect those cover dates and the MADb, however, the template's documentation doesn't make it clear which dates to use. —Farix (t &#124; c) 17:44, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't read Japanese, but Google Translate doesn't seem to give the 2 July date, unless I'm missing it. However, per WP:TRUTH, if that source says the cover date was 2 July 1968 then we have to use that unless we have a better source.  If you have a copy of the first issue, and the cover date is clearly 1 August, then I would use that; this is one of the rare cases that a primary source trumps a secondary source.  In situations like that, when a secondary source is clearly wrong, if the source is something a reader might consult (such as a reference work) then I sometimes add a footnote explaining the conflict and giving the basis for choosing one source over another.  See note 2 in Startling Stories for an example.  If multiple reliable sources all agree on the 2 July date I think you would have to explain the discrepancy to the reader.

Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.

Proposal - Roads & Kingdoms
I recently posted an article request for Roads & Kingdoms, a New York-based online publication covering food, travel, and politics, founded in 2012. I’m currently an intern with Roads & Kingdoms, and I’ve carefully studied Wikipedia’s policies on disclosing conflicts of interest. I will not make any direct contributions on articles related to the publication, and I am not paid for my contributions.

I wanted to make a post here in WikiProject Magazines, as I believe Roads & Kingdoms meets the notability criteria outlined here for magazines: It received the James Beard Foundation’s Publication of the Year Award in 2017, and Anthony Bourdain was the publication’s sole investor and editor-at-large. The company also produces online content for CNN’s Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown television series.

The publication has received substantial coverage by The Wall Street Journal, American Journalism Review, Inc., and Vox Media’s Eater. Any feedback on whether Roads & Kingdoms meets notability requirements is welcome, and I would be happy to work with editors on a draft of the article. Please see my talk page if you have any questions or concerns. WillA98 (talk) 15:01, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Analog Science Fiction and Fact
User:Mike Christie is not allowing an infobox because it is "misleading to list only current values when the most important information relates to 1930s to 1970s". Is this correct?

Nargis magazine
Was wondering if anyone from this WikiProject might be able to take a look at and assess Nargis magazine.

If kept, the article might be better off WP:MOVEd to Nargis (magazine) and the titled italicized since that appears to be the convention for articles about magazines. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:41, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Source for publication years?
Hi - I am contemplating creating an article for Basketball Digest magazine and am wondering if anyone knows of a source for magazine publication dates? I cannot determine when the magazine ceased publication (the first issue was November, 1973). There may be other magazines I’d like to work on, so if anyone has a good general resource for publication dates I’d be interested to know. Thanks. Rikster2 (talk) 14:19, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I have Frank Luther Mott's A History of American Magazines, which is useful up to 1930. After that date I don't know of a general resource.  Science fiction magazines are well covered by the ISFDB, and I can probably dig up resources for non-sf pulp magazines through about the mid-1950s.  You could try to find libraries holding copies and see what their holdings are, though you couldn't be sure the listings were completed.  Before about 1978 you can also find copyright renewals which will at least give you listings of some of the issues.  Another approach is to search ebay for "basketball digest" (including the quotes); you can see the individual issues for sale that way and sometimes it's pretty easy to work out what issues appeared in a year.  That's not an RS for our purposes, but you can cite the individual issues as sources for their own existence.
 * Not what you were asking, but you might find the issue grids I use for magazine articles useful to display the publication history; see Venture Science Fiction for an example, and Planet Stories for a more complicated one. For long tables I usually start them collapsed; see Analog Science Fiction and Fact for an example. Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 14:44, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool
Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

MoS RfC on tense for describing periodicals
There is a MoS RfC that editors here may be interested in, about whether to use "is" or "was" to describe periodicals that are no longer being published. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 22:09, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Glamour magazine archive
Does anyone know if there is an online archive of Glamour magazine articles? I am looking for an article published in the June 1999 issue. Thriley (talk) 20:07, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Request for help updating the Playboy article
Hello! I&#39;m Zach, an employee of PLBY Group. As an editor with a conflict of interest, I don&#39;t make direct edits to articles related to Playboy. Instead, I look for volunteer editors who are interested in helping to review my suggestions and implement any they agree with. I posted a few thoughts on Talk:Playboy about some content that could be clarified and also posted sources for some unsourced material. I did add the edit request template, but only got a partial answer. I thought I&#39;d reach out here and see if anyone is interested in reviewing my requests. If so, you can find them here. Many thanks, PLBY ZG (talk) 17:38, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Move Apartamento to Apartamento (magazine)?
hi y'all – what do you think I/we should consider before moving Apartamento to Apartamento (magazine)?

I ask the above considering how likely, I assume, it could be for a reader who speaks Spanish to arrive on Apartamento and become surprised when they come to realize the article is in fact about a magazine as opposed to apartment the concept.

Note: I figured this page would be a good place to ask this question considering Apartamento seems to be of interest to this WikiProject. Stussll (talk) 06:14, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Afterall
I can't find any high quality sources for Afterall. Maybe someone else can? (It's kind of hard to search for). But if not, maybe it is not actually 'noteworthy'? Ascendingrisingharmonising (talk) 13:10, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

H Para Hombres
Would some members from this WikiProject mind taking a look at H Para Hombres and assessing it for WP:NPERIODICAL? It's completely unsourced and is currently bascially nothing more than a brief introductory paragraph followed by a long embedid list of celebrity names. The magazine is probably notable enough for an article and perhaps that are non-English sources that can be used to help establish that. Moreover, the list of names could probably be trimmed and supported by WP:PROSE so that it isn't just a list of every celebrity who appeared on the cover. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:07, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Paper (magazine) help please!
A new account began editing this page today and after several back and forths, I'd like some help on how to handle the changes they want made. The paper was sold in 2017, and the new acc says that the listed editors on the infobox are no longer there. They finally provided this article in an edit summary as proof for removing all three. Even if they're no longer there, isn't it better if a source explicitly states that x y z left in x year? I have zero issue w the page being updated, but rather with how the new acc is handling it and I already rvd them twice today for making unsourced changes. -- Carlobunnie (talk) 22:25, 21 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Maybe it would be best not to have the editors in the infobox and to just have something in the main body of the article that says 'As of (year), (editor) was an editor' with the year corresponding to the citation? Unfortunately this is quite a tricky thing as editors leaving (even quite prominent magazines) are not always reported anywhere. For example, Simon Grant recently left Tate Etc, which has the highest distribution numbers of any art magazine in the world, after over a decade as the editor, and I have been waiting for months in vain for a reliable 3rd party to report on it that I can cite in the article.

Publisher, owner?
Checking over Larry Flynt Publications, Hustler & Hustler Video articles. Larry Flynt is listed as publisher & owner. How is this possible, when he died in February 2021? GoodDay (talk) 05:40, 3 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Good idea to update the article to refer to him as the former publisher and owner, please do go ahead. Ascendingrisingharmonising (talk) 09:20, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like and turns it into something like
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from cite web, cite journal and doi.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.
