Hi Vicentine, I'm an administrator here at Zine Wiki and I've been editing the article you created for your zine. I thought I'd explain why I made some of the changes I did, since I see you've been changing them back again. Despite what people think, Zine Wiki isn't just free space for zine editors to do whatever they choose to do. We are trying to document the history of zines in an encyclopedic manner. We try to maintain a similar format with each article, so that Zine Wiki isn't a jumbled mess for readers. With photos of the covers of zines, they generally appear at the right side of the page, with text alongside, but never alone at the top of the page. I have also edited your text somewhat for clarity. As well, while artistic flair is commendable in a zine, Zine Wiki tends to favour a more encyclopedic prose. I hope this offers some explanation for some of my editing of your article.InvisibleFriend 16:55, 30 September 2007 (EDT)
