== wild remedies == thanks again! i was just wondering how i was gonna do that! ==Welcome to ZineWiki== 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) You are totally rocking with the listings and clean up, thanks! [[User:Dan10things|dan10things]] 14:13, 2 March 2007 (EST) ==Thanks again== 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) == ello == 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. 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)]]. == favor? == 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) 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) ==Freesheet and general editing== Nice one Invisible friend Ill use that and nice one for the general editing too, --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 12:14, 18 July 2007 (EDT) :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) :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) == one small point == 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) ::wow you already changed the category, that was fast, thanks! [[User:Mujinga|Mujinga]] 09:08, 20 July 2007 (EDT) ::Aren't they "The Nederlands" now? [[User:Gaijin|Gaijin]] 23:20, 31 December 2007 (GMT) ::: 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) == Thanks for cleaning up the new entries == I'm still learning how this works. [[User:walktheplank]] 19:04, 29 July 2007 ==RE: Hakim Bey== 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). [[User:walktheplank]] 12:47, 1 August 2007 ==Resizing== 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) :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) ::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) :::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) ::::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) *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) ==Resizing program== 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) ==Editing The Original Universe article== I just read your request today and I'll rewrite it. No illustrations yet as they could violate IP rules. [[User:Jeffrey Allan Boman|Jeffrey Allan Boman]] 15:01, 1 October 2007 (UTC) ==Early Irish Fanzines== 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) :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) :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) ==Definitions and terms== 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. *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. *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) == Proposed deletion == 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) == New Administrators == 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) ==Italics== Why does Wikification preclude italicising titles of fanzines? [[User:Gaijin|Gaijin]] 16:27, 10 January 2008 (EST) == is it just me? == or are you also getting "Warning: Missing argument 2 for wfParserFunctionsLanguageGetMagic() in /homepages/33/d92498007/htdocs/wiki/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php on line 144" written 50 times at the top of each page? cheers [[User:Mujinga|Mujinga]] 03:03, 28 February 2008 (EST) :Me too! its been happening for a few days, --[[User:Eugenepunk|Eugenepunk]] 06:36, 28 February 2008 (EST) ::Me three! I didn't even scroll down the first few times I saw it, I just assumed the rest of the page would be the same thing. It's only tonight I've discovered that the site is still here and still usable, thank goodness! I have no idea why this is happening, maybe Dan will know whats going on. Let's ask him[[User:InvisibleFriend|InvisibleFriend]] 03:09, 2 March 2008 (EST) :::good to have you back! i must admit i was surprised not to see you on the recent changes for a few days ... yeah if you can contact dan thats a good idea, i emailed alan and kate but didnt yet get a response. and thanks for the added categories on the stuff i have been adding, its great someone has an overview to keep it all tidy. cheers! [[User:Mujinga|Mujinga]] 14:06, 2 March 2008 (EST) == Hey! == Glad to have you back and jumping right into the action! It took forever to get the wiki back up and running. [[User:Dan10things|dan10things]] 02:56, 19 February 2009 (UTC) :Hey, thanks for all your hard work lately! Can you send me an email? jerianne at undergroundpress org. Thanks! [[User:Jerianne|Jerianne]] 03:22, 23 March 2009 (UTC) ==E. war== hey there, umm i hope i'm writing this in the right spot, thanks for helping edit my recent contributions, i am not as slick with the code as i'm sure a lot of the folk here are. in regards to your concern with the entry e.war, the entry was written that way using plural so gender specific words didn't have to used, with out using those silly pro nouns. if you think of a better way to write it. i'm all ears. [[User:InvisibleFriend|InvisibleFriend]] 22:37, 4 March 2009 (UTC) == back again == yay! nice to see you here again - [[User:Mujinga|mujinga]] 22:34, 23 March 2009 (UTC) - YES! i'm actually adding an article now about the [[Brighton Zinefest]]! cheers! - [[User:Mujinga|mujinga]] 23:09, 23 March 2009 (UTC) == Ace doubled zines == Just like the old Ace Double paperbacks of the 60s and early 70s, this is when you pub two fanzines backed-up in reverse to each other. On one side you have X-zine; flip it over, there's the other one. [[User:Japurcell|Japurcell]] 02:53, 31 March 2009 (UTC) == German zines == Hey Invisible Friend Thanks for helping me with the grammar and all that shit. In Germany are a lot of nice and interesting zines, boring as well... I try to add more and more and more.... THANKS [[User:Black Mask|Fabien]] 18:13, 7 May 2009 (UTC) == Vampire == Hey, I could send you a copy and some infos about the german Vampire zine. Do you agree that it would make more sense over email? Please get in touch: eroderecords[a]yahoo(.)de [[User:Black Mask|Fabien]] 20:45, 28 June 2009) (UTC) == restore non-spam version of == Hope you will undelete a non-spam version of [[Talk:Main Page/Archive 1]]. A [http://zinewiki.com/zinewiki/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&diff=prev&oldid=21403 few threads were moved there]. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 16:59, 7 September 2009 (UTC) == Much obliged == InvisibleFriend, you are the invisible hand that brings order and concord. But not in a creepy Adam Smith way. == Angel of Death == Since you've edited Angel of Death article, I hope you will post a reply at [[Talk:Angel of Death]]. --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 08:31, 27 September 2009 (UTC) == thank you! == hiya, thanks for fixing up my articles. i didn't see the user message until after i'd gone through and edited a heap of pages. your edits were a big help! :) == curious == Why not link to contributor's own websites, as I had done for [[It Takes All Kinds]]? :Please see my reply on your user page! Thanks![[User:InvisibleFriend|InvisibleFriend]] 04:42, 2 April 2010 (UTC) ==Editing Zak Sally and La Mano 21 ?== I see you reverted my edit of deleting Sammy The Mouse from [[La Mano 21]]'s publishing roster. Sammy The Mouse is published by Fantagraphics and not [[La Mano 21]]. I'm also curious as to why you deleted Like A Dog and the Fantagraphics external link from the [[Zak Sally]] page? I'm new here so maybe I'm missing something. Thanks, Newworsefamily. == thanks! == Thanks for your thanks! But thank you more for editing/tidying up the entries I messed with! :D --[[User:Queen Ludd|Queen Ludd]] 22:17, 16 September 2010 (UTC) == Swallow Your Pride == Hey, do we know each other? I am Ananda La Vita. If you know me, or even if you don't, I'd like to hear from you directly... I'm just curious who you are and why you took out the cover of the 3rd issue of Swallow Your Pride. Your edit note says you replaced it with a more appropriate size, but it's not there at all anymore... Should I replace it? Thanks! alv09 (at) riseup (dot) net
