Vandalism

Latest comment: 7 years ago4 comments4 people in discussion

Hi Andypandy,

You have accused me of vandalising the wikipedia article 'Women's Weekly'. In my opinion my change added value to the article.

To give this some context, the article is about a magazine called the 'Women's Weekly' which is currently published every month. The casual observer would wonder why the magazine continues to be called 'Women's Weekly'. The explanation given within the article is weak: 'The Australian Women's Monthly just didn't have the same ring to it.'

In my opinion, I successfully clarified the reasoning with subtly and without vulgarity. This was done simply by linking 'Women's Monthly' to the article that describes the phenomenon of the human condition whose colloquial terminology shares this alternative magazine title.

This is not vandalism, but a clarifiant. Perhaps its subtlety was lost on you? I will re-instate the change, and if you would like to discuss further please do so on the discussion page.

I agree that adding the link to 'Women's Monthly' adds needed clarification to what is frankly a pretty tongue-in-cheek comment. Riverhead 09:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

does anyone else think the statement that calling the magazine the Women's Monthly would be vulgar "even for Australian tastes" seems just a little loaded? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.107.252.21 (talk) 04:02, 2 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

"because a woman's "monthly" was a slang term for menstruation". Do you have any source reference for this statement? I certainly don't recall this ever being stated as a reason for keeping the existing name. 124.189.135.69 (talk) 11:31, 1 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Back issues on line

Apparently back issues are being digitized and are available online. [1][2][3] I don't know where yet - none of the articles actually tell us! But once we find the site, a link would be an interesting addition to our article. Mitch Ames (talk) 09:26, 22 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
