<div>[[Image:Zapp.jpg|frame|ZAPP logo.]]<br />
The '''Zine Archive & Publishing Project''' ('''ZAPP''') is a now-defunct [[:Category:Zine Library|zine library]] located in Seattle, Washington. It existed to encourage and promote independent publications. ZAPP collected [[zine]]s, [[comic]]s, [[chapbook]]s, [[pamphlet]]s, journals, gazettes, city papers, [[mail art]], monographs, short anthologies, personal transmissions, and other not-so-easily classified independent publications for preservation and display. ZAPP was a program of the [http://www.hugohouse.org/ Richard Hugo House], located at 1634 11th Ave in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
[[Image:ZAPP shelves.JPG|300px|thumb|ZAPP's collection]]<br />
ZAPP was started in 1996 with the personal collections of Gary Greaves and Chuck Swain. Since then, the collection has grown to more than 20,000 items, making it one of the largest zine collections in the world. ZAPP was temporarily closed in 2007 and the collection was placed in storage. After moving the stacks, ZAPP was reopened with regular open hours in September 2008. <br />
<br />
Holdings from the archives include science fiction [[fanzine]]s from the 1940s through modern donations. According to the library's website, it currently contains more than 20,000 items.<br />
<br />
== Events/Projects ==<br />
<br />
During its run, ZAPP held a number of classes, gallery exhibits, and other events throughout the year for both youth and adult audiences.<br />
<br />
*'''DIY Academy''' was a series of low cost workshops which encouraged people to learn from other people within their communities, make connections, and most of all claim back to power of being able to do it themselves. The second annual DIY Academy was held in July 2006.<br />
<br />
*The first [http://seattle-zine-unconference.wikispaces.com/ '''Zine Librarian (Un)Conference'''] was hosted by ZAPP on March 14-March 15, 2009. Zine librarians, collectors, and creators from across the United States participated in a series of open workshops and facilitated discussions. Topics included the challenges of cataloging, organizing, and promoting zine collections.<br />
<br />
== Browsing ==<br />
<br />
ZAPP was not a lending library; however, the collection was available for browsing during open hours. The collection's partial catalogue was accessible on-site.<br />

==Welcome to ZineWiki==<br />

<br />
<br />
Hey InvisibleFriend, thanks for all your hard work on editing and tagging and creating articles/categories. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind dropping me an email: alan-at-zinewiki-dot-com [[User:Alanlastufka|Alan Fall of Autumn]] 18:55, 23 January 2007 (EST)<br />
<br />
You are totally rocking with the listings and clean up, thanks! [[User:Dan10things|dan10things]] 14:13, 2 March 2007 (EST)<br />
<br />
==Thanks again==<br />
Hey Invisible Friend, I just wanted to say "thanks" again for all the work you're doing here, especially the clean-up of new articles. I know it gets so tiring fixing the same issues with each new page... [[User:Alanlastufka|Alan Fall of Autumn]] 10:22, 26 May 2007 (EDT)<br />

<br />
hey thanks for starting the [[Mujinga]] page, im planning to be adding stuff this week. i got some time and i got some internet access. <br />
<br />
having an eponymous zine, i wasn't sure which way round to do the pages for myself as a zinester and the zine, but now i guess its solved - [[Mujinga]] and [[Mujinga (zinester)]]. <br />
<br />
== favor? ==<br />
Can you fix [[ZineWiki: Introduction]] so the page isn't redirecting to Milo's page the revert the edits? Thanks[[User:Jerianne|Jerianne]] 13:25, 28 March 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
seems like you do a lot round here, nice one, its a wonderful wiki to discover. [[User:Mujinga|Mujinga]] 08:54, 17 July 2007 (EDT)<br />

==Freesheet and general editing==<br />
Nice one Invisible friend Ill use that and nice one for the general editing too, --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 12:14, 18 July 2007 (EDT)<br />
:hey Invisibe friend, keep up the good work in editing the pages I've been adding- I appreciate it! Some of the more recent ones I am not completely sure where theyre from as their authors seem to be nomadic zinesters! --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 17:44, 8 October 2007 (EDT)<br />
:hey Invisible friend, I copied your reasons word for word for deleting a spam thing-although the ad.s werent specifically for cars so I shoulda just written deleted spam but as the general gist of it was a spam in chinese I used your exact words. --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 04:22, 22 February 2008 (EST)<br />
:hey Invisible friend, great work with keeping the site up! --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 17:58, 4 October 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== one small point ==<br />
<br />
i see you write "The Netherlands" whereas i write "the Netherlands". the former seems a bit strange to me. judging from sites like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands Wikipedia] and [http://www.overheid.nl/english/ Overheid] i think the latter is more common, so i think i will continue to put "the". cheers! [[User:Mujinga|Mujinga]] 06:28, 19 July 2007 (EDT)<br />
<br />
::wow you already changed the category, that was fast, thanks! [[User:Mujinga|Mujinga]] 09:08, 20 July 2007 (EDT)<br />
<br />
::Aren't they "The Nederlands" now? [[User:Gaijin|Gaijin]] 23:20, 31 December 2007 (GMT)<br />
<br />
::: No actually, I still think it's the Netherlands, because its short for "Kingdom of the Netherlands" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands_%28terminology%29] [[User:Mujinga|Mujinga]] 14:10, 2 March 2008 (EST)<br />

==RE: Hakim Bey==<br />
<br />
I understand your concerns about the Hakim Bey article. While I find him repugnant, his writings have been widely circulated within the zine community (as well as in scholarly journals and textbooks!). I included links to some of his critics in order to make people aware of the controversy, his past associations, and his alleged behavior -which tends to be glossed-over by some of his adoring fans. I think it's important to include Hakim Bey in the history of zines for the same reason that a history of the Beat Generation needs to include information on Allen Ginsburg (another dirty old man). <br />
<br />

<br />
==Resizing==<br />
Hows it going Invisible friend, about the resizing the only thing I could say is that I could resize them myself and then reupload them if you told me what images, but you'd have to delete the old bigger ones then. The reason I dont do that more often is that I can't delete the original big image from zinewiki so there would end up being two images - I could go and change the image on a respective zine page but the person who originally uploaded the image, having seen their big image still exists, may put the bigger image back on their respective zine pages, so I dont want to have to this type of messing! The thing is it seems that alot of images over the past months have been uploaded that are massive and that these haven't been resized since. If you'd like to sort this out as a collaboration I could resize them if you could delete the massive ones well just an idea anyway, --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 03:02, 11 September 2007 (EDT)<br />
:I saw after I wrote to you some images that you uploaded so Ive just uploaded resized versions as 200pixels on the longest side,--[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 03:22, 11 September 2007 (EDT)<br />
::Invisible friend, Ive just uploaded loads more but made a few mistakes uploading one twice that was so small already i didnt change it. I think thats the main backlog sorted for now as I think Ive gone over images dating back to when Alan last deleted a load, but Ill look again, if I see images that need to be deleted as theyre doubles Ill flag them for you by writing in the talk pages,--[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 05:29, 13 September 2007 (EDT)<br />
:::No bother about resizing them images but the thing is I no longer have the original big versions on my computer. I have made them ones bigger but I think there was a loss of resolution; which I tried to sort it out by making the writing darker and more pronounced so I've uploaded them anyway if you think there's a loss of clarity with the picture , if you could either re-upload the images on zinewiki and Ill reduce them or if youd like them resized bigger i can also do that, --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 04:17, 22 September 2007 (EDT)<br />
::::Ok so Ive reuploaded them-it only takes a second to resize them so its no trouble, but theyre fierce cool looking zine covers hope the size does them justice!Other thing I was thinking on working on was more definitions of different terms of zines - for example hardcore zines tend to have a specific layout/format almost professionalism whereas old school / first wave zines tend (tended) to be more cut n paste with references to cider and football!... but this all could be just my opinion or my point of view, talk again --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 06:45, 22 September 2007 (EDT)<br />
<br />
*Invisible friend, I forgot to resize that Alarm Clock one but i think its done now, been fierce busy and havent had chance to use new category but will be creating some new articles soon but I can always easily do resizing!--[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 17:02, 10 November 2007 (EST)<br />
<br />
==Resizing program==<br />
Saw your usertalk to Alan. Are you in need of a photo program? There are quite a few freebies for resizing jpegs or I could hook you up with something if you are using a PC. [[User:Dan10things|dan10things]] 23:52, 11 September 2007 (EDT)<br />

==Editing The Original Universe article==<br />

<br />
==Early Irish Fanzines==<br />
how are ya Invisible friend, you know the article [[Early Irish Fanzines]] thats from a thesis my brother did on Irish fanzines. Now I dont know if such academic writing is suitable for zinewiki but this thesis would be available to split up into separate articles about different aspects of zines - written academically. On the internet there are several such thesis available that I have got - I got ones on Dutch, French and Australian zines - if zinewiki wished to use such articles, after obtaining permission from authors, we could make more extensive but academic articles on zines on the site. Just a thought! --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 06:53, 3 October 2007 (EDT)<br />
:Invisible friend, thanks for telling me about zinewiki reaching 2000 articles thats great stuff! I came across a list of Irish zines thats in a pdf on the internet that include zines I didn't know myself so I'm not able to write articles on them but was thinking of creating a page with Irish zines with no page yet. If I was still living in Ireland I could check them out myself.--[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 10:25, 27 November 2007 (EST)<br />
:I've made a page for these zines - [[Irish zines without a page]] - some of which I think would be easier to expand with more information available from the internet ie the zines from 2004 etc but some of these zines are from the early nineties and I don't know them that well, I thought it was better to make a page as I can't be definate about these dates and numbers of issues I think it's better to assemble them together and to indicate such uncertainty. It can act as a working page. --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 12:18, 30 November 2007 (EST)<br />
<br />
==Definitions and terms==<br />
Hello Invisible friend, Im still thinking about whether there is any use in relating terms like hardcore to zines by simply saying that hardcore zines document hardcore music and culture, and often share some asthetics due to similar hardcore bands and hardcore bands photos and hardcore show photos being shown in the zines. <br />
*I was also wondering about the term 'personal as political' as a possible term to describe zines. I always thought of this term as describing a zine that uses personal anecdotes and stories to show the impact of politics on the zine writers (daily) life and/or using telling personal experiences of issues that are impacted directly by political decisions. but the term personal as political is said (after i did an internet search) to come from feminist theory and the term 'personal is political', so perhaps my own perception of it relating to zines is not that common at all. <br />
*Also another term I was wondering about whether it would be useful to create (in order to document different production techniques of zines and give examples of zines that have utilised certain techniques) is "lino printing in zine production" - as many zines use this medium which is a diy basic accessible format for zines to bring colour to the photocopied pages, (also screenprinting for more advanced zines, also stencil painting on covers is another format). Anyway just some thoughts! --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 05:50, 17 October 2007 (EDT)<br />
<br />
== Proposed deletion ==<br />
<br />
To InvisibleFriend, I am not sure whether you have come across [[People who should have died instead of Liza Phillips]], but it would appear that this page does not relate to a zine, rather it appears to be a diatribe relating to the descriptive title. I am unsure how to go about proposing deletion - but I would be grateful for your advice.... [[User:Belcoboy|Belcoboy]] 11:51, 15 November 2007 (EST)<br />
<br />
== New Administrators ==<br />
FYI, Balecboy and Eugenepunk just got upgraded to administrators, which probably should have happened a few months ago. It should make deletions easier. [[User:Dan10things|dan10things]] 17:12, 11 December 2007 (EST)<br />

I'm going to talk to Jerianne and see if we can figure out some way to block the recent influx of spam. It almost seems like they have a program that can set up an account automatically and post photos and articles. Lame. [[User:Dan10things|dan10things]] 22:00, 2 September 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I was thinking it was computer generated as well. Also blocking one name doesn't seem to stop the next spammer from posting even though I suspect it is coming from the same ISP number and source.

::We installed a captcha hoping to decrease or eliminate the spam, but obviously it hasn't worked. We're going to see if we can find a stronger captcha and explore other solutions.

==Terry Jeeves==<br />
Hi Invisible Friend<br />
<br />
At the end of August I created an entry for ERG and Terry Jeeves. I had only just found Zine wiki and went on Holiday on the 6th of September. I intended to expend the entries when I got back at the end of September.<br />
<br />
I notice that you have done a good job expanding the entry on ERG but the Zinester page on Terry Jeeves appears to have vanished and I appear to be unable to edit the ERG page.<br />
<br />
I like what you have done with the ERG page so far.<br />
<br />
Please contact me as I wanted to work on the pages as I was a long time friend of Terry.<br />

:*Hi Thasaidon, Thank you for your message. I'm very glad you liked what I added to your page [[ERG]], I was very happy to see that someone had started the article! You should be able to add to it, you just need to sign in. If you have any trouble, try creating a new name with a new password and then you'll be able to edit. I don't remember there being a zinester page for [[Terry Jeeves]], but I think it would be wonderful if there was one, and you are just the person to do it. I have made his name a link, so just click on it and start. We are very happy to have your contributions! If you want to create articles on any other zine, just add the name, with [[ ]] surrounding it, to "Quick Links", which is in the left hand column of every page and you should be able to start. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions. It's great to see you here! [[User:InvisibleFriend|InvisibleFriend]] 23:38, 18 September 2011 (UTC)<br />

== messages and revisions to my entries ==<br />
<br />
Thanks for your messages and for the stylistic revisions to my entries. I am reading the style manual now, which I should have done in the first place. I'm still working on that virtue of patience. It didn't look like you want private messages, so I'm posting this response here as appears to be the custom round these parts. I added the zine categories '''Hacker Zines''' and '''Tech Zines''' to the [[ZiP]] page which I don't believe existed previously; if that's a no-no I'll refrain in future, but they seemed like categories that should exist. Rest assured I will be back soon with '''articles''' and follow-ups on [[ZiP]] and our other projects-in-development. I plan to be around for a while. Glad to have found this marvelous repository of '''panzinetic''' excellence in cyberspace! There's no place like Wiki.<br />

== Zine template ==<br />
<br />
Hi, I just stumbled upon this wiki and saw you in [[Special:RecentChanges]]. I am the owner of [[Libertapedia]] and am working on a prisoner outreach program that requires zine production. Do you know where I can get a zine template, preferably in an OpenOffice or MS Word format, or if necessary, a desktop publishing format? Obviously in a zine, the pages have to be set up differently than in other documents. E.g., on the first sheet, in landscape format, the left column or half is actually the back cover of the zine and the right half is the front cover. On the flip side of that sheet, the left half is page one, and the right half is the last page. And so on. How do I set this up elegantly in a word processing application? Thanks, [[User:Nathan Larson|Nathan Larson]] 23:25, 20 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
:Hi Nathan Larson, I'm an admin here, but not the owner, and to be honest I know very little about computers so a lot of what you've written went right over my head I'm afraid!! Try posting to the Main Page Discussion page: http://zinewiki.com/Talk:Main_Page Perhaps someone with more knowledge of computer programs will be able to assist you. Good luck!InvisibleFriend 05:57, 21 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Rory Faulkner ==<br />
Hi there, I was just tipped off to this page existing by my mother and am curious how you came to care enough to get so much info on Rory aside from just being a history buff maybe. I ask because I am the Great Grandson of Rory, Dottie and apparantly Grandma the Demon (my personal favorite). I've only heard stories about her and sadly never got to meet her while she was alive. Because of this wiki, and upon finding out my Mom just dug up a folio of all her poems and short stories, I'm in the process of getting permission from the family to scan the original typed work by her but I also want to retype it all myself since some of it has food stains and such from age and misuse. Also, couldn't figure out any other way to message you, hopefully this is the right way. Is there any way we can discuss this further offline? --[[User:RaynDrahps|RaynDrahps]] 19:59, 27 December 2012 (UTC)<br />

== spam stuff ==<br />
hi! i notice you folks get a veritable TON of spam around here. i'm on a few other wikis, and i recently worked with a couple wikipals to develop a pretty good system for spam prevention (this includes a different CAPTCHA, various IP blacklists, and well configured autoconfirmation). a few days ago, i emailed Dan per the contact page, but i'm not sure how active he is around his Zine Wiki presence, so i was wondering if you knew a better way to get in touch with him, or anyone else who might have access to the site's LocalSettings.php file (a webmaster of some sort?). thanks! ~ [[User:Apollo|Apollo]] &#91;[[User talk:Apollo|talk]]&#93; 02:19, 10 August 2013 (UTC)</div>Apollohttps://zinewiki.com/zinewiki/index.php?title=User:Apollo&diff=78717User:Apollo2013-08-08T02:30:32Z<p>Apollo: shamless plug</p>
<hr />
<div>hi, i'm '''apollo''' (that is a fake name). i really like MediaWikis (wikia-type wikis, not so much!) and i like to try to help out with them when they're related to my interests. zines are a fairly new interest of mine, as i have [[Quinn Collard|a friend]] who prints numerous zines of her own. i made webpages for two of her zines, ''[http://www.museumofidiots.com/excellenceorseriousinjury/ This Could Lead to Excellence or Serious Injury]'' <small>([[This Could Lead to Excellence or Serious Injury|article]])</small>, and ''[http://www.museumofidiots.com/ephemera/ Ephemera]'' <small>([[Ephemera|article]])</small>. although those were done for ''freeeeee'', i otherwise am willing to work at a special discounted rate for all zine or distro sites. so, if you need a new or revamped site, check out '''[http://arteduen.de/ my website]''' for a portfolio and contact information.<br />
<br />
here are some things i might be doing around here, based on my wiki-experiences<br />
*'''making templates!''' i love templates and parser functions. they are one of my favourite things about wikis and i think it's great how much they streamline and standardise each wiki.<br />
*'''removing spam''', something that is pretty self-explanatory<br />
*'''bolding article titles'''! for some reason, this is very important to me. it is probably because it keeps things standard and professional, and gives each article a clear start.<br />
<br />
that's probably all for now! if you have a note drop by my [[User talk:Apollo|discussion page]].<br />

<div>[[Image:punk-planet.jpg|frame|Punk Planet]]<br />
<br />
'''''Punk Planet''''' was a 16,000 print run [[punk]] [[zine]], based in Chicago, IL, that focused most of its energy on looking at punk subculture. In addition to covering music, ''Punk Planet'' also covered visual arts and a wide variety of progressive issues -- including media criticism, feminism, and labour issues. The most notable features in ''Punk Planet'' were the interviews and the album and zine reviews. The interviews generally ran two or three pages, and focused on the motivations of the artist (or organizer, activist, or whoever) being interviewed.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
{{Incomplete|section}}<br />
The first issue was published in May of 1994 and was created in part as a response to the perception that ''[[Maximum Rock and Roll]]'' was becoming too elitist. Early issues of Punk Planet were said to be rough and clearly trying to emulate the format of Maximum Rock n Roll, however, the publication certainly developed into a force in its own right. It started as a newsprint punk fanzine that was originally published out of Hoboken, New Jersey but it featured a cleaner, more readable lay-out than many punk-oriented zines of that time. Regular columnists back in '95 included Sinker, Will Dandy, Kim Bae, Darren Cahr, Julia Cole, Jim Connell, Dave Hake, [[Larry Livermore]], [[Joel McClemore]], Slim Moon, Leah Ryan, and [[Jersey Beat]] zine's [[Jim Testa]]. <br />
<br />
Punk Planet reviewed hundreds of underground zines and albums and each issue contained pages upon pages of such reviews. The zine contained left political writing together with its music journalism. Over the years, Punk Planet has dealt with issues of labor, race, gender and sexuality. It was, for example, a stalwart supporter of the anti-globalization and contemporary anti-war movements, and famously challenged the U.S.-led sanctions on Iraq. It has also been said that Punk Planet was a major force in the underground popularization of the "emo" subgenre of [[hardcore]] in the middle 1990's. It is said to have covered daring music – not just conventional punk, but any independent artist with a punk ethos. It also contained a fiction section. The zine is said to have retained a sense of community over the years in which the letters section sought to make reader active participants. <br />
<br />
After the launching of its website, Punk Planet did not reprint its content online, choosing instead to focus on community interaction and breaking news of interest. Its editor and publisher, Dan Sinker, holds that freelance journalists should retain exclusive digital reprint rights for their work and the zine has discussed this including in a seminar held in November 2006 on intellectual property and copyright issues for independent publishers, artists, zine-makers and students. This was hoped to be a provocative and educational evening for publishers, freelancers, visual artists, zine-makers and students involved in the Chicago independent press community.<br />
<br />
On June 18, 2007, an email was sent out to subscribers 30 minutes before [http://www.punkplanet.com/pp_blog/punk_planet_magazine_r_i_p_p a post at punkplanet.com] informed the public that after 13 years and 80 issues, Punk Planet's final issue was being sent out. The reasoning pointed to "bad distribution deals, disappearing advertisers, and a decreasing audience of subscribers".<br />
<br />
A few hours later, [[Alan Lastufka]] made a video eulogy, dedicated to Punk Planet co-editors Dan Sinker and Anne Elizabeth Moore. The video featured Alan, [[Dan Halligan]], Mack (KungFuFlipperBaby on the PP forums), Kevin (KPunk on the PP forums) and [[M. Brianna Stallings]]. The video can be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz6oOkdm2FU watched on YouTube]. [http://www.avclub.com/articles/why-punk-planets-demise-matters,14749/ The Onion's AV Club] also commented on its demise. <br />
<br />
The Punk Planet website continued to be active for about 2 more years but has also since been shuttered. <br />

Its editor and publisher, Dan Sinker, holds that freelance journalists should retain exclusive digital reprint rights for their work and the zine has discussed this including in a seminar held in November 2006 on intellectual property and copyright issues for independent publishers, artists, zine-makers and students. This was hoped to be a provocative and educational evening for publishers, freelancers, visual artists, zine-makers and students involved in the Chicago independent press community.<br />

<div>[[Image:Zapp.jpg|frame|ZAPP logo.]]<br />
The '''Zine Archive & Publishing Project''' ('''ZAPP''') is a [[:Category:Zine Library|zine library]] located in Seattle, Washington. It exists to encourage and promote independent publications both extant and defunct. ZAPP collects [[zine]]s, [[comic]]s, [[chapbook]]s, [[pamphlet]]s, journals, gazettes, city papers, [[mail art]], monographs, short anthologies, personal transmissions, and other not-so-easily classified independent publications for preservation and display. ZAPP is a program of the [http://www.hugohouse.org/ Richard Hugo House], located at 1634 11th Ave in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
[[Image:ZAPP shelves.JPG|300px|thumb|ZAPP's collection]]<br />
ZAPP was started in 1996 with the personal collections of Gary Greaves and Chuck Swain. Since then, the collection has grown to more than 20,000 items, making it one of the largest zine collections in the world. ZAPP was temporarily closed in 2007 and the collection was placed in storage. After moving the stacks, ZAPP was reopened with regular open hours in September 2008. <br />
<br />
Holdings from the archives include science fiction [[fanzine]]s from the 1940s through modern donations. According to the library's website, it currently contains more than 20,000 items.<br />
<br />
== Events/Projects ==<br />
<br />
ZAPP holds a number of classes, gallery exhibits, and other events throughout the year for both youth and adult audiences.<br />
<br />
*'''DIY Academy''' was a series of low cost workshops which encouraged people to learn from other people within their communities, make connections, and most of all claim back to power of being able to do it themselves. The second annual DIY Academy was held in July 2006.<br />
<br />
*The first [http://seattle-zine-unconference.wikispaces.com/ '''Zine Librarian (Un)Conference'''] was hosted by ZAPP on March 14-March 15, 2009. Zine librarians, collectors, and creators from across the United States participated in a series of open workshops and facilitated discussions. Topics included the challenges of cataloging, organizing, and promoting zine collections.<br />

<div>hi, i'm '''apollo''' (that is a fake name). i really like MediaWikis (wikia-type wikis, not so much!) and i like to try to help out with them when they're related to my interests. zines are a fairly new interest of mine, as i have a friend who prints numerous zines of her own. <br />
<br />
here are some things i might be doing around here, based on my wiki-experiences<br />
*'''making templates!''' i love templates and parser functions. they are one of my favourite things about wikis and i think it's great how much they streamline and standardise each wiki.<br />
*'''removing spam''', something that is pretty self-explanatory<br />
*'''bolding article titles'''! for some reason, this is very important to me. it is probably because it keeps things standard and professional, and gives each article a clear start.<br />
<br />
that's probably all for now! if you have a note drop by my [[User talk:Apollo|discussion page]].<br />

<br />
'''''Punk Planet''''' was a 16,000 print run [[punk]] [[zine]], based in Chicago, IL, that focused most of its energy on looking at punk subculture. In addition to covering music, ''Punk Planet'' also covered visual arts and a wide variety of progressive issues -- including media criticism, feminism, and labour issues. The most notable features in ''Punk Planet'' were the interviews and the album and zine reviews. The interviews generally ran two or three pages, and focused on the motivations of the artist (or organizer, activist, or whoever) being interviewed.<br />

===Notable Issue Topics/Subjects===<br />
*Issue 22 —first issue with full color, cardstock cover<br />
*Issues 24, 46 and 67: ''Art & Design 1'', ''2'', and ''3'' —theme issue<br />
For Issue 67, which was the third Art and Design themed issue, the zine covered known and unknown artists and designers working in and around the underground. Included were a poster and comic artist, a painter, a tattoo artist, a graphic designer, a love artist and a prolific designer. Articles included a Midnight street art run, DIY fashion, the art of mapmaking and a story about non profit art organisations that use E bay. The themed issue also contained three limited edition covers by contributing artists. <br />
*Issue 30 and 60 which covered Iraq.<br />
The cover of issue 30 had a bloody and bandaged foot with the writing ''“The murder of Iraq”''. It was released in March/April 1999. As noted in the book ''We Owe You Nothing'', this article generated the most mail the zine ever received. The article was a conversation with members of the humanitarian organization Voices in the Wilderness, which delivered medicine and supplies to Iraq in defiance of the economic embargo that was on at that time, and since the US led invasion of Iraq of 1991. Besides painting a grim picture of the death and hardship incurred by Iraqis as a result of the sanctions, the piece is moving in its conveyance of the dedication and sense of outrage that fuels Voices' efforts.<br />
Thirty three issues later, in issue 63 of 2004, Punk Planet again featured Iraq. In the five years between that issue and the 63rd issue, PP continually returned to Iraq, covering the rehabilitating sanctions, the leadup to war, and life during wartime, but the cover had always been about something else. In the 63rd issue which was a year and a half since Bush declared the war in Iraq as a “mission accomplished”, Punk Planet put Iraq back on the cover of the zine with the moving first-person story ''“Iraq: Live through this”''. This featured the writing of a 24 year old Iraqi blooger and offered a glimpse into what the war had been like for an average Iraqi. Punk Planet were trying to bring new viewpoints to the situation in Iraq. In addition to the Iraq stories, the issue had articles on living with an eating disorder, a portrait of Latino artist Marcos Raya and a photo essay on illegal immigration. <br />
*Issue 34 —first issue with perfect binding<br />
*Issue 50 ''The Chicago Issue'' —theme issue<br />
*Issues 55 and 75: ''The Revenge of Print 1'' and ''2'' —theme issue<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The first issue was published in May of 1994 and was created in part as a response to the perception that ''[[Maximum Rock and Roll]]'' was becoming too elitist. Early issues of Punk Planet were said to be rough and clearly trying to emulate the format of Maximum Rock n Roll, however, the publication certainly developed into a force in its own right. It started as a newsprint punk fanzine that was originally published out of Hoboken, New Jersey but it featured a cleaner, more readable lay-out than many punk-oriented zines of that time. Regular columnists back in '95 included Sinker, Will Dandy, Kim Bae, Darren Cahr, Julia Cole, Jim Connell, Dave Hake, [[Larry Livermore]], [[Joel McClemore]], Slim Moon, Leah Ryan, and [[Jersey Beat]] zine's [[Jim Testa]]. <br />
<br />
Punk Planet reviewed hundreds of underground zines and albums and each issue contained pages upon pages of such reviews. The zine contained left political writing together with its music journalism. Over the years, Punk Planet has dealt with issues of labor, race, gender and sexuality. It was, for example, a stalwart supporter of the anti-globalization and contemporary anti-war movements, and famously challenged the U.S.-led sanctions on Iraq. It has also been said that Punk Planet was a major force in the underground popularization of the "emo" subgenre of [[hardcore]] in the middle 1990's. It is said to have covered daring music – not just conventional punk, but any independent artist with a punk ethos. It also contained a fiction section. The zine is said to have retained a sense of community over the years in which the letters section sought to make reader active participants. <br />
<br />
After the launching of its website, Punk Planet did not reprint its content online, choosing instead to focus on community interaction and breaking news of interest. Its editor and publisher, Dan Sinker, holds that freelance journalists should retain exclusive digital reprint rights for their work and the zine has discussed this including in a seminar held in November 2006 on intellectual property and copyright issues for independent publishers, artists, zine-makers and students. This was hoped to be a provocative and educational evening for publishers, freelancers, visual artists, zine-makers and students involved in the Chicago independent press community.<br />

hey thanks for starting the [[Mujinga]] page, im planning to be adding stuff this week. i got some time and i got some internet access. <br />
<br />
having an eponymous zine, i wasn't sure which way round to do the pages for myself as a zinester and the zine, but now i guess its solved - [[Mujinga]] and [[Mujinga (zinester)]]. <br />

i see you write "The Netherlands" whereas i write "the Netherlands". the former seems a bit strange to me. judging from sites like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands Wikipedia] and [http://www.overheid.nl/english/ Overheid] i think the latter is more common, so i think i will continue to put "the". cheers!

==RE: Hakim Bey==<br />
<br />
I understand your concerns about the Hakim Bey article. While I find him repugnant, his writings have been widely circulated within the zine community (as well as in scholarly journals and textbooks!). I included links to some of his critics in order to make people aware of the controversy, his past associations, and his alleged behavior -which tends to be glossed-over by some of his adoring fans. I think it's important to include Hakim Bey in the history of zines for the same reason that a history of the Beat Generation needs to include information on Allen Ginsburg (another dirty old man). <br />

<br />
==Resizing==<br />
Hows it going Invisible friend, about the resizing the only thing I could say is that I could resize them myself and then reupload them if you told me what images, but you'd have to delete the old bigger ones then. The reason I dont do that more often is that I can't delete the original big image from zinewiki so there would end up being two images - I could go and change the image on a respective zine page but the person who originally uploaded the image, having seen their big image still exists, may put the bigger image back on their respective zine pages, so I dont want to have to this type of messing! The thing is it seems that alot of images over the past months have been uploaded that are massive and that these haven't been resized since. If you'd like to sort this out as a collaboration I could resize them if you could delete the massive ones well just an idea anyway, --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 03:02, 11 September 2007 (EDT)<br />
:I saw after I wrote to you some images that you uploaded so Ive just uploaded resized versions as 200pixels on the longest side,--[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 03:22, 11 September 2007 (EDT)<br />
::Invisible friend, Ive just uploaded loads more but made a few mistakes uploading one twice that was so small already i didnt change it. I think thats the main backlog sorted for now as I think Ive gone over images dating back to when Alan last deleted a load, but Ill look again, if I see images that need to be deleted as theyre doubles Ill flag them for you by writing in the talk pages,--[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 05:29, 13 September 2007 (EDT)<br />
:::No bother about resizing them images but the thing is I no longer have the original big versions on my computer. I have made them ones bigger but I think there was a loss of resolution; which I tried to sort it out by making the writing darker and more pronounced so I've uploaded them anyway if you think there's a loss of clarity with the picture , if you could either re-upload the images on zinewiki and Ill reduce them or if youd like them resized bigger i can also do that, --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 04:17, 22 September 2007 (EDT)<br />
::::Ok so Ive reuploaded them-it only takes a second to resize them so its no trouble, but theyre fierce cool looking zine covers hope the size does them justice!Other thing I was thinking on working on was more definitions of different terms of zines - for example hardcore zines tend to have a specific layout/format almost professionalism whereas old school / first wave zines tend (tended) to be more cut n paste with references to cider and football!... but this all could be just my opinion or my point of view, talk again --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 06:45, 22 September 2007 (EDT)<br />
<br />
*Invisible friend, I forgot to resize that Alarm Clock one but i think its done now, been fierce busy and havent had chance to use new category but will be creating some new articles soon but I can always easily do resizing!--[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 17:02, 10 November 2007 (EST)<br />

==Early Irish Fanzines==<br />
how are ya Invisible friend, you know the article [[Early Irish Fanzines]] thats from a thesis my brother did on Irish fanzines. Now I dont know if such academic writing is suitable for zinewiki but this thesis would be available to split up into separate articles about different aspects of zines - written academically. On the internet there are several such thesis available that I have got - I got ones on Dutch, French and Australian zines - if zinewiki wished to use such articles, after obtaining permission from authors, we could make more extensive but academic articles on zines on the site. Just a thought! --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 06:53, 3 October 2007 (EDT)<br />
:Invisible friend, thanks for telling me about zinewiki reaching 2000 articles thats great stuff! I came across a list of Irish zines thats in a pdf on the internet that include zines I didn't know myself so I'm not able to write articles on them but was thinking of creating a page with Irish zines with no page yet. If I was still living in Ireland I could check them out myself.--[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 10:25, 27 November 2007 (EST)<br />
:I've made a page for these zines - [[Irish zines without a page]] - some of which I think would be easier to expand with more information available from the internet ie the zines from 2004 etc but some of these zines are from the early nineties and I don't know them that well, I thought it was better to make a page as I can't be definate about these dates and numbers of issues I think it's better to assemble them together and to indicate such uncertainty. It can act as a working page. --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 12:18, 30 November 2007 (EST)<br />
<br />
==Definitions and terms==<br />
Hello Invisible friend, Im still thinking about whether there is any use in relating terms like hardcore to zines by simply saying that hardcore zines document hardcore music and culture, and often share some asthetics due to similar hardcore bands and hardcore bands photos and hardcore show photos being shown in the zines. <br />
*I was also wondering about the term 'personal as political' as a possible term to describe zines. I always thought of this term as describing a zine that uses personal anecdotes and stories to show the impact of politics on the zine writers (daily) life and/or using telling personal experiences of issues that are impacted directly by political decisions. but the term personal as political is said (after i did an internet search) to come from feminist theory and the term 'personal is political', so perhaps my own perception of it relating to zines is not that common at all. <br />
*Also another term I was wondering about whether it would be useful to create (in order to document different production techniques of zines and give examples of zines that have utilised certain techniques) is "lino printing in zine production" - as many zines use this medium which is a diy basic accessible format for zines to bring colour to the photocopied pages, (also screenprinting for more advanced zines, also stencil painting on covers is another format). Anyway just some thoughts! --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 05:50, 17 October 2007 (EDT)<br />

== Proposed deletion ==<br />
<br />
To InvisibleFriend, I am not sure whether you have come across [[People who should have died instead of Liza Phillips]], but it would appear that this page does not relate to a zine, rather it appears to be a diatribe relating to the descriptive title. I am unsure how to go about proposing deletion - but I would be grateful for your advice.... [[User:Belcoboy|Belcoboy]] 11:51, 15 November 2007 (EST)<br />

:I was thinking it was computer generated as well. Also blocking one name doesn't seem to stop the next spammer from posting even though I suspect it is coming from the same ISP number and source.

==Terry Jeeves==<br />
Hi Invisible Friend<br />
<br />
At the end of August I created an entry for ERG and Terry Jeeves. I had only just found Zine wiki and went on Holiday on the 6th of September. I intended to expend the entries when I got back at the end of September.<br />
<br />
I notice that you have done a good job expanding the entry on ERG but the Zinester page on Terry Jeeves appears to have vanished and I appear to be unable to edit the ERG page.<br />
<br />
I like what you have done with the ERG page so far.<br />
<br />
Please contact me as I wanted to work on the pages as I was a long time friend of Terry.<br />
<br />
:*Hi Thasaidon, Thank you for your message. I'm very glad you liked what I added to your page [[ERG]], I was very happy to see that someone had started the article! You should be able to add to it, you just need to sign in. If you have any trouble, try creating a new name with a new password and then you'll be able to edit. I don't remember there being a zinester page for [[Terry Jeeves]], but I think it would be wonderful if there was one, and you are just the person to do it. I have made his name a link, so just click on it and start. We are very happy to have your contributions! If you want to create articles on any other zine, just add the name, with [[ ]] surrounding it, to "Quick Links", which is in the left hand column of every page and you should be able to start. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions. It's great to see you here! [[User:InvisibleFriend|InvisibleFriend]] 23:38, 18 September 2011 (UTC)<br />

Thanks for your messages and for the stylistic revisions to my entries. I am reading the style manual now, which I should have done in the first place. I'm still working on that virtue of patience. It didn't look like you want private messages, so I'm posting this response here as appears to be the custom round these parts. I added the zine categories '''Hacker Zines''' and '''Tech Zines''' to the [[ZiP]] page which I don't believe existed previously; if that's a no-no I'll refrain in future, but they seemed like categories that should exist. Rest assured I will be back soon with '''articles''' and follow-ups on [[ZiP]] and our other projects-in-development. I plan to be around for a while. Glad to have found this marvelous repository of '''panzinetic''' excellence in cyberspace! There's no place like Wiki.<br />

== Zine template ==<br />
<br />
Hi, I just stumbled upon this wiki and saw you in [[Special:RecentChanges]]. I am the owner of [[Libertapedia]] and am working on a prisoner outreach program that requires zine production. Do you know where I can get a zine template, preferably in an OpenOffice or MS Word format, or if necessary, a desktop publishing format? Obviously in a zine, the pages have to be set up differently than in other documents. E.g., on the first sheet, in landscape format, the left column or half is actually the back cover of the zine and the right half is the front cover. On the flip side of that sheet, the left half is page one, and the right half is the last page. And so on. How do I set this up elegantly in a word processing application? Thanks, [[User:Nathan Larson|Nathan Larson]] 23:25, 20 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
:Hi Nathan Larson, I'm an admin here, but not the owner, and to be honest I know very little about computers so a lot of what you've written went right over my head I'm afraid!!

<br />
'''''Punk Planet''''' was a 16,000 print run [[punk]] [[zine]], based in Chicago, IL, that focused most of its energy on looking at punk subculture. In addition to covering music, ''Punk Planet'' also covered visual arts and a wide variety of progressive issues -- including media criticism, feminism, and labour issues. The most notable features in ''Punk Planet'' were the interviews and the album and zine reviews. The interviews generally ran two or three pages, and focused on the motivations of the artist (or organizer, activist, or whoever) being interviewed.<br />

===Notable Issue Topics/Subjects===<br />
*Issue 22 —first issue with full color, cardstock cover<br />
*Issues 24, 46 and 67: ''Art & Design 1'', ''2'', and ''3'' —theme issue<br />
For Issue 67, which was the third Art and Design themed issue, the zine covered known and unknown artists and designers working in and around the underground. Included were a poster and comic artist, a painter, a tattoo artist, a graphic designer, a love artist and a prolific designer. Articles included a Midnight street art run, DIY fashion, the art of mapmaking and a story about non profit art organisations that use E bay. The themed issue also contained three limited edition covers by contributing artists. <br />
*Issue 30 and 60 which covered Iraq.<br />
The cover of issue 30 had a bloody and bandaged foot with the writing ''“The murder of Iraq”''. It was released in March/April 1999. As noted in the book ''We Owe You Nothing'', this article generated the most mail the zine ever received. The article was a conversation with members of the humanitarian organization Voices in the Wilderness, which delivered medicine and supplies to Iraq in defiance of the economic embargo that was on at that time, and since the US led invasion of Iraq of 1991. Besides painting a grim picture of the death and hardship incurred by Iraqis as a result of the sanctions, the piece is moving in its conveyance of the dedication and sense of outrage that fuels Voices' efforts.<br />
Thirty three issues later, in issue 63 of 2004, Punk Planet again featured Iraq. In the five years between that issue and the 63rd issue, PP continually returned to Iraq, covering the rehabilitating sanctions, the leadup to war, and life during wartime, but the cover had always been about something else. In the 63rd issue which was a year and a half since Bush declared the war in Iraq as a “mission accomplished”, Punk Planet put Iraq back on the cover of the zine with the moving first-person story ''“Iraq: Live through this”''. This featured the writing of a 24 year old Iraqi blooger and offered a glimpse into what the war had been like for an average Iraqi. Punk Planet were trying to bring new viewpoints to the situation in Iraq. In addition to the Iraq stories, the issue had articles on living with an eating disorder, a portrait of Latino artist Marcos Raya and a photo essay on illegal immigration. <br />
*Issue 34 —first issue with perfect binding<br />
*Issue 50 ''The Chicago Issue'' —theme issue<br />
*Issues 55 and 75: ''The Revenge of Print 1'' and ''2'' —theme issue<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The first issue was published in May of 1994 and was created in part as a response to the perception that ''[[Maximum Rock and Roll]]'' was becoming too elitist. Early issues of Punk Planet were said to be rough and clearly trying to emulate the format of Maximum Rock n Roll, however, the publication certainly developed into a force in its own right. It started as a newsprint punk fanzine that was originally published out of Hoboken, New Jersey but it featured a cleaner, more readable lay-out than many punk-oriented zines of that time. Regular columnists back in '95 included Sinker, Will Dandy, Kim Bae, Darren Cahr, Julia Cole, Jim Connell, Dave Hake, [[Larry Livermore]], [[Joel McClemore]], Slim Moon, Leah Ryan, and [[Jersey Beat]] zine's [[Jim Testa]]. <br />
<br />
Punk Planet reviewed hundreds of underground zines and albums and each issue contained pages upon pages of such reviews. The zine contained left political writing together with its music journalism. Over the years, Punk Planet has dealt with issues of labor, race, gender and sexuality. It was, for example, a stalwart supporter of the anti-globalization and contemporary anti-war movements, and famously challenged the U.S.-led sanctions on Iraq. It has also been said that Punk Planet was a major force in the underground popularization of the "emo" subgenre of [[hardcore]] in the middle 1990's. It is said to have covered daring music – not just conventional punk, but any independent artist with a punk ethos. It also contained a fiction section. The zine is said to have retained a sense of community over the years in which the letters section sought to make reader active participants. <br />
<br />
After the launching of its website, Punk Planet did not reprint its content online, choosing instead to focus on community interaction and breaking news of interest. Its editor and publisher, Dan Sinker, holds that freelance journalists should retain exclusive digital reprint rights for their work and the zine has discussed this including in a seminar held in November 2006 on intellectual property and copyright issues for independent publishers, artists, zine-makers and students. This was hoped to be a provocative and educational evening for publishers, freelancers, visual artists, zine-makers and students involved in the Chicago independent press community.<br />
<br />
On June 18, 2007, an email was sent out to subscribers 30 minutes before [http://www.punkplanet.com/pp_blog/punk_planet_magazine_r_i_p_p a post at punkplanet.com] informed the public that after 13 years and 80 issues, Punk Planet's final issue was being sent out. The reasoning pointed to "bad distribution deals, disappearing advertisers, and a decreasing audience of subscribers".<br />
<br />
A few hours later, [[Alan Lastufka]] made a video eulogy, dedicated to Punk Planet co-editors Dan Sinker and Anne Elizabeth Moore. The video featured Alan, [[Dan Halligan]], Mack (KungFuFlipperBaby on the PP forums), Kevin (KPunk on the PP forums) and [[M. Brianna Stallings]]. The video can be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz6oOkdm2FU watched on YouTube]. [http://www.avclub.com/articles/why-punk-planets-demise-matters,14749/ The Onion's AV Club] also commented on its demise. <br />
<br />
The Punk Planet website continued to be active for about 2 more years but has also since been shuttered. <br />
