Hi Belcoboy, Your contributions are very interesting and it's great to have them all on Zine Wiki. Since it seems you are going to be around for awhile, unlike a lot of other editors, ; )

may I offer a hopefully helpful hint? If you look to your left you will see a heading entitled "toolbox"; at the bottom you'll see the category "Special Pages" ; click on this and look for "Dead End Pages"; these Dead End pages are created when an editor doesn't "wikify" or link anything in an article. The best way to avoid this is by creating a link by using two [[ , and ending with ]]. Most commonly in articles the word [[zine]] is linked to the article about zines, but terms such as [[activist]], or movements such as [[punk]] also have articles, as do [[hardcore]], [[anarchism]], [[Mail Art]]. You can click on the category heading at the bottom of every article and then go to "Terms" to find many more. Then just use whatever is applicable! Have fun editing![[User:InvisibleFriend|InvisibleFriend]] 01:32, 26 August 2007 (EDT)

You might not want to include the subtitles of a zine in the article title, not only are some of those insanely long :) but they might not come up as easily in a title search. dan10things 14:58, 15 August 2007 (EDT)
