Magazine

A magazine is a periodical publication containing a variety of articles on various subjects. Magazines are typically published weekly, biweekly, monthly, or quarterly, with a periodical cover date that is in advance of the date it is actually published. They are often printed in color on coated paper. Magazines usually have articles on popular topics of interest to the general public and are written at the Readability test of most of the population. An academic periodical featuring scholarly articles written in a more specialist register is usually called a "academic publishing." "Periodical" is the word usually used to describe magazines, journals, newspapers, newsletters, and anything else that is published in regular intervals for an indefinite period of time, but "serial" is sometimes used, especially in librarianship. Many weekend newspapers incorporate magazine supplements, such as ''Parade Magazine''; the ''Times Literary Supplement'', and ''Life magazine'' in its Life magazine#LIFE 2004. ''The Gentleman's Magazine'', first published in 1731, is considered to be the first general-interest magazine. The oldest magazine still in print is ''The Scots Magazine'', which was first published in 1739, though multiple changes in ownership and gaps in publication totaling over 90 years weaken that claim. The most widely distributed magazine in the world is ''Reader's Digest'' (founded in 1922). Its worldwide circulation including all editions comprises 21 million copies and over 100 million readers. ''The Watchtower'' is the most widely distributed religious magazine in the world, with an average circulation of 26.4 million copies semimonthly in more than 150 languages. ==See also== * Mass media * Desktop publishing * List of magazines, List of newspapers - by country * List of art magazines * Computer magazines * ezines * Geographic magazines * List of LGBT publications * Literary magazines * List of men's magazines * Newsmagazine * Pulp magazines * Pornographic magazines * List of railroad-related periodicals * Science magazines and Scientific journals * Teen magazines * List of United States magazines, List of United States magazines with online archives * List of women's magazines Magazines Publishing Arabic words

''Please comment.'' I just listed this article on the Wikipedia:Cleanup. I'll be happy to clean up this page, and to poke around cleaning up pages like this, but for a newbie (me), this article is a good example of "What do I do now?" A dicdef followed by an unrelated article is an obvious candidate for cleanup, but what's the best approach? Omit the dicdef altogether? Make a stub from it and hope somebody expands it into a real article? Split the two and create a disambiguation page, and let somebody else decide what to do with the dicdef? Any opinions? User:A. J. A. DeWitt 20:25, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC) ==Suggestion== I suspect the paper magazine to be the most prominent search. So I'd suggest to start the page of with something like: This page is about ... if you're looking for an article regarding firearms please go here. If you're looking for the band go here (put in links) Otherwise keep the content and expand on magazines and their editorial process perhaps, include e-zines? -- User:MacGyverMagic 22:01, Apr 24, 2004 (UTC) :This page needs to be made into a disambiguation page if content is to grow. How about splitting the content between Magazine (medium), Magazine (band) (already exists) and Magazine (firearms). I'm not sure about the last one. Any suggestions?--User:HamYoyo|TALK\">User_talk:HamYoyo">User:HamYoyo|User:HamYoyo|TALK\">User talk:HamYoyo 18:57, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC) ::Seems this has been taken care of. User:Ike9898 23:00, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC) ==Category== This article does not belong in the category 'Magazine publishers', because it is not an article about magazine publishers. I think that's all that needs to be said. That is the convention on how categories are used in Wikipedia. If you want to add this category back, please discuss it here first. User:Ike9898 23:00, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC) == Background information == It would be great if someone knowledgeable on the subject could add a little tidbit as to why monthly magazines are printed one month in advance. Thanks for your consideration. --User:Cioxx 13:14, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
