message: Please comment.  I just listed this article on the Cleanup page.  I'll be happy to clean up this page, and to poke around cleaning up pages like this, but for a newbie (me), this article is a good example of "What do I do now?"
A dicdef followed by an unrelated article is an obvious candidate for cleanup, but what's the best approach?  Omit the dicdef altogether?  Make a stub from it and hope somebody expands it into a real article?  Split the two and create a disambiguation page, and let somebody else decide what to do with the dicdef?  Any opinions? A. J. A.

message: :Not sure what you mean by an 'unrelated article', but I think this one would benefit from less sectioning - the content of the Publication and Categories sections is fine, but does it really need to be separated? I think not... Barnabypage 08:11, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Headline text 

message: The last sentence (about magazine closures) is terribly misleading. In fact, going to the source, more than 2.5 times as many magazines were launched in 2012 as ceased publication, where it was only 1.6 times as many new as ceased in 2011. (Also, those figures are for the U.S. and Canada, not for the world.).http://www.mediafinder.com/public.cfm?page=pressReleases/FEWERMAGAZINESLAUNCHEDIN2012THAN2011227LAUNCHEDIN2012VERSUS239IN2011  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.224.185.229 (talk) 00:20, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: The last sentence

message: It would be great if someone knowledgeable on the subject could add a little tidbit as to why monthly magazines are printed one month in advance. Thanks for your consideration. --Cioxx 13:14, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Background information 

message: This belongs in an article on anti-consumerism or anti-commercialism, but doesn't add to understanding of magazines. Barnabypage 12:56, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Commercial Alert link (removed) 

message: Please comment at Talk:Contact magazine. Lillies (who has only made 2 edits to wikipedia) edited Contact magazine and I think Lillies' main change is dubious. --EarthFurst 00:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  please comment at Talk:Contact_magazine 

message: Also, what about the decline of magazines?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.29.83.65 (talk) 17:44, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Decline 

message: Why is there a lengthy plug for FAIR in this article? Should it not be removed? What has it to do with the subject of the article? Godingo 18:54, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, and removed - if on Wikipedia at all, it should be an article in its own right. It adds nothing to understanding of the broad concept 'magazine'. Barnabypage 01:11, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cuckoo in the nest

thread_title:  Ethymology 

message: What's the name of the box (or full page) containing the publication's information such as the address, the name of the chief editor, the web URL if any, etc.? Usually located at the beginning near the table of contents.

replies: text: Wow, thank you. So, that should be present in this article, and wikilinked, right? --Jerome Potts (talk) 19:52, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess I don't see a place in the present article where things like the structure and layout of magazines would go. I think I would wait and see if editors more knowledgeable and active on this page than I (I just happened to know the answer to your question) think so or no. Cheers Geologyguy (talk) 19:58, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Right, right, i just wanted to point out to anyone who might tend to this article that it'd be something to add to it. Maybe i'm acting too proud of having found a "bug". --Jerome Potts (talk) 04:39, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  publication info 

message: Hi all: I came to this page looking for a list of Motorsports Magazines (Motorcycles, ATVs, Personal Watercraft, etc.) but there does not seem to be a category that is appropriate.  I would be willing to start collecting information about Motorsports Magazines and filling out such a page if enough of you agree that it is appropriate (but I sure as heck don't want to go to all the effort and have it reverted!)  
That said, I rarely check Wikipedia for updates (vs. actually use Wikipedia for reference, which I do almost daily) so if someone would like to see me do add this please email me at my name (with no space) at gmail dot com.  Thanks in advance.

replies: text: The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 
The result of the proposal was no consensus for move. I'd add regarding the analysis in the duscussion section that nothing in WP:PRIMARYTOPIC supports the notion that finding every possible dab for a page and adding them to compare to the use of the primary is a good gauge (and here adding them all up still results in a significant disparity). Rather we are to look at whether the primary is "much more used than any other topic" (singular), which is the case here.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 04:21, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Add category for "Motorsports Magazines"  

message: *Support move except that for greater clarity I would move the article to Magazine (publication format) or Magazine (periodical format).  Seeing the word "Magazine" by itself on WP:RM, I thought first of Magazine (artillery) and second of the more general sense of a storage place.  --Una Smith (talk) 03:32, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Everyone, please dismiss KP Botany's argument.  It is both ad hominem and a lie.  --Una Smith (talk) 03:59, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Survey

message: The Types of magazines subsection found at the bottom of this page needs to be methodically expanded to include all major categories that currently exist.  One that comes to mind right away is “Children's magazines”. Cajd (talk) 20:53, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  “Types of magazines” Subsection of “See Also” Section Needs Work 

message: Should there be a section titled Types, outlining the several categories of magazines? Or should that be its own thing? I'm new to editing on Wikipedia so I'm not sure of the M.O. Simon Placr (talk) 18:21, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Types of magazines, revisited

message: I've noticed that under the link for "History of Newspapers and Magazines", the page has only a tiny paragraph about magazines, the rest is all newspapers. I've already proposed on said page that that be separated, so I think that the paragraph from there should be added to this page, and the link should be taken off. Allyalleycats (talk) 04:15, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Link to History of Newspapers and Magazines 

message: There is a non-sequitur sentence in this paragraph: "Despite being among the first mass media outlets to venture from the bible, periodicals still remained rooted in the naturalized class and gender system held by European and American society.[7]"
Despite having a citation, the sentence a) does not make sense in itself and b) has no connection to the rest of the paragraph. 
What is meant by the line "the first mass media outlets to venture from the bible"?

message: Poetry Name : कलयुग की गाथा
Written By : Anuj Sharma Aligarh (Writer & Poet)
ये कहाँ आ गए हम
ये कौनसी दुनिया है
ये क्या सोच के आए थे हम
ये क्या हो गया
ज़माने भर में मुझे
अपना अपना कहने वाले
कहाँ हैं चले गए अब जब
सब कुछ तवाह हो गया
ये कहाँ आ गए हम
ये कौनसी दुनिया है
ये क्या सोच के आए थे हम
ये क्या हो गया
क्या काम देकर भेजा ईश्वर ने
यहाँ क्या करवाया जा रहा है
यहाँ बेटी सुरक्षित भी नहीं
उनको भी मरवाया जा रहा है
अब बचा ही क्या है देखने को
सब कुछ निकलता जा रहा है
जीवन रूपी रेत हाथ से
यूँ ही फिसलता जा रहा है
इंसान इंसान को मार रहा है
मानव राक्षस हो रहा है
ये कैसी दुनिया है
यहाँ क्या हो रहा है
ये कहाँ आ गए हम
ये कौनसी दुनियां है
ये क्या सोच के आए थे हम
ये क्या हो गया
यहाँ जाति का खेल है
यहाँ धर्म का खेल है
यहाँ भाइयों से ज़्यादा
पड़ोसी से मेल है
कौन किस की परवाह करता है
यहाँ सभी रंग दिखाते हैं
मौत सामने हो फिर भी
लोग लूट ले जाते हैं
हर तरफ कोई न कोई गलत
आपके बारे में भोंकता हैं
इंसान हो या जानवर
पीठ पीछे ही छुरा घोंपता है
ये कहाँ आ गए हम
ये कौनसी दुनियां है
ये क्या सोच के आए थे हम
ये क्या हो गया
कोरोना के डर ने
ऐसी दुनिया बना दी
सबने रामायण देखी और हमें भी
हनुमान चालीसा थमा दी
पुलिस घूस खाती है
सारा ज़माना झूठ बोल रहा है
यहाँ भगवान को ही नहीं बक्शा जा रहा
मेरे दोस्त, तू साधुओं की बोल रहा है
अपना अपना कहकर लोग
क्या क्या करवा देते हैं
आप उनपे भरोसा करो
वो आपको मरवा देते हैं
कृष्ण सुदामा पढ़ाकर
भेजा गया हमें
यहाँ क्या क्या करवाया जा रहा है
हमारे दोस्त से ही हमें, मरवाया जा रहा है
ये कहाँ आ गए हम
ये कौनसी दुनियां है
ये क्या सोच के आए थे हम
ये क्या हो गया
कृष्ण बनो या राम बनो
या बनो कल्कि मेरे नाथ
अब तुमको यहाँ आना होगा
यहाँ बहुत हो चुके पाप

message: there are way too many photographs in this article. for another call about magazines, I would expect a lot less imagery included in this article. so, please change it. 2600:1702:2130:6160:BF4E:6377:DB06:537A (talk) 03:02, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  too many photographs 

message: Each fiscal year American magazines publish their coporate details (this is distinct from the masthead). I don't even know what they're called, but I've always presumed that they're required. Is it a business license thing?

message: I thought I'd mention here that in the introduction of Frank Mott's A History of American Magazines, he lays out definitions for magazines, periodicals, newspapers, etc. In case anyone would like to follow up. when cleaning up this article. His definitions are clear and also include references to other works. Auldhouse (talk) 18:15, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
