Talk:White Dwarf (magazine)

message: Editorial list - This is currently incorrect Guy Haley is still the editor of White Dwarf (as he has been since issue 302). Owen Rees simply edits the last 28 or so pages (average total page count is 130 pages) for the UK only section, which consists of mail order pages, store listings and events diaries. The first 100 pages is the 'central' content that appears in all the international editions and this is edited by Guy.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.109.165.97 (talk • contribs).
There is also a slight error with what happened after Jake Thornton. After Jake left there was a brief period from 215 to 217 when there was no editor. Editorial responsibilities were split between Production Editor Adrian Wood and Managing Editor Chris Colston.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.69.228.74 (talk) 12:32, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Correction. Jake's final issue was 211. There was no editor credited for issues 212 to 214. (Those were the issues managed by Adrian and Chris until Paul took over in 215). The editorial introduction by Robin Dews on the first page of issue 212 announces the departure of Jake, and Robin then introduced Paul as new editor (alongside production editor Matt White) in issue 215. Issues 212 to 214 should be listed as uncredited. 96.22.193.210 (talk) 03:16, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Editorial list

message: The introduction incorrectly asserts that the original White Dwarf focussed on wargaming and RPGs. This is incorrect. The original focussed on RPGS almost exclusively. 
The article implies that it was also exclusively linked to D&D and AD&D. In fact, the first 20 issues had a great deal on Traveller as well. The magazine also focussed on Cthulhu, Superheroes (was it really called that?) and I'm sure some Bishido and Aftermath articles as well.
Somehow, you need to get a writer that has the copies rather than work backwards from the current magazine which is vastly different to the original (Issues 1 - 100)

thread_title: original WD

message: Having acquired most WD issues between 70 and 100 I have none of which Paul Mason was the editor. Neither is he mentioned in the retrospective article in issue 200 which lists the previous editors. I have the first and last issues for every editor between Ian Marsh and Robin Dews (and the last few for Ian Livingstone), but no Paul Mason anywhere. What is the original source for Paul Mason? Perhaps if he was a stand-in he should be relegated to a mention on on of the other editors' lines?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.247.91 (talk) 20:50, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I made the above comment and forgot to log in. Anyway, I have searched through the archives for the edit that put Paul Mason in the list, and it was done by a logged-out user who has not made any other contributions from that IP address. I have taken it out until I (or anyone) can verify it e.g. by getting a copy of WD that lists Paul Mason as the editor. pglh (talk) 18:02, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Paul Mason? 

message: Is the name an homage to 19th century radical journal The Black Dwarf? Or even to the short-lived 1960s radical magazine  of the same name? Do we know if Messrs Jackson and Livingstone have such exciting political tendencies?
