Talk:Harvest (Neopagan magazine)

message: Was the actual title of the 'zine Harvest or Harvest Magazine? If the former, the article should be moved, say to Harvest (Neopagan magazine). Frater Xyzzy 20:56, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page Move 

message: I've added in some more sources.  Mostly from the Utne Reader feature, and from issues of Harvest and Tides I had in my desk.  Over the next few days I'll try to go through more of the zine archive and get a fuller list of contributors, preferably additional authors who have WP articles.  I'll also see if I can dig up the old issues of Factsheet Five and Green Egg that wrote about Harvest and Tides.  Hope everyone is having a good holiday, whatever traditions you do or don't celebrate ;-) --Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 23:02, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sourcing and rewrite 

message: Came here from working on Green Egg, where this article is a see also. Interesting article. I am however baffled by non-observance of our prohibition against referring to people solely by their first names. In particular I refer to the references to "Morven" and "Brenwyn". These look like first names to me, though I may be mistaken. Some of the sources also omit last names from the authors. As I don't have access to these sources, could someone who does please fill in individual's full names? If this cannot be done, I wonder whether these sources meet our WP:BLP policy where they refer to living individuals. We don't really allow essentially anonymous sourcing for information about living people, and without last names, it would also be impossible to determine who might be living! Unless this can be corrected, I suggest we omit the last paragraph in order to comply with WP:BLP. Skyerise (talk) 18:21, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Many of the writers for those zines used pen names. Actually, I think usage of real names was the exception. In cases where there is only a single name in the article, that is what is in all the sources - the zine in question, other zines, as well as books like Drawing Down the Moon. It's what the person was known as. Like Cher. Or Madonna. The neopagan community at that time was very small, and many people were not "out of the broom closet". The majority of people came from Wiccan backgrounds and used their "coven names" for their pen names, or had a private "magical name" as well as a public one. It was pre-Internet, communication was via snail mail and maybe a once a year festival. There weren't enough people yet for people to be confused with others. There are also quite a few authors of occult books during that era who wrote under a one-name pen name. Some of them went on to publish under other names later in their careers, or when publishing in other genres. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 18:47, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for clarifying. It's still a bit odd though. Normally this would be sorted out in the third-parity reliable sources writing about the subject in depth. Perhaps the sources used aren't as in-depth on this subject as they should be? Skyerise (talk) 19:13, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

text: I also find it odd that you have a list that includes occult, neopagan and new age authors and have edited articles for people like Nema (occultist) (diff:) but say you're unfamiliar with these naming conventions. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 21:34, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
