[edit] Merge Proposal
In my opinion, Ezines are separate entities from Online Magazines in the method of delivery. Most Ezines are sent through email, and are also called Email Newsletters. Online magazine, to me, means a web site which updates on a regular schedule and keeps archives, much like a paper magazine. Online magazines may send subscribers notices when updated, but usually not the entire issue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.21.242.102 (talk • contribs) 15:22, 24 June 2006
Keep Separate There is no rule that we have to confuse people by lumping different things together, albeit with superficial simularities, just because an article is fairly short. // FrankB 04:49, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
I'd agree with separate but cross-refereced. The common usage will evolve somewhat. I would consider a spectrum from 'online magazine' that is essentially a web version of a hard copy magazine and an e-zine to be primarily emailed. In the middle somewhere is an e-Mag, which is an electronic magazine, i.e. it's primary form is a website (very similar if not the same as a webzine). I administer two new "e-Mags" and they have RSS feeds so can effectively be subscribed to aswell. Edward Whishaw 09:02, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
While this discussion is very old, I'd like to discuss that the scope of "online" magazine covers both the web and e-mail, as you access e-mail because one is online. Right now there seems to be about a half dozen articles that either need to be modified to exclude refering to eachother, or they need to be merged into one central article where the minute differences can be presented in a much more expansive and comprehensive article. I'd say merge. Radagast83 17:17, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
An eZine is not the same as a webzine. These should not be merged.
Keep Separate -- A search on Google for "ezine" OR "ezines" produces over 13 million results, whereas a search for "online magazine" OR "online magazines" produces only about 2.5 million results. This suggests that people will come to Wikipedia looking for an article about "ezine" and don't expect to be redirected to a title that is a 2-word definition.70.174.190.116 08:09, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Support merge per Radagast83's comment above. I would also add news site to the list. However, if they are determined to be distinct from one another and maintained as separate articles, a new category and a generic article (perhaps called "online periodicals") describing their differences would be helpful. Edward Wishaw is correct, though, these definitions are likely to be moving targets for some time to come. -Tobogganoggin talk 22:22, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- I've merged cyberzine, ezine, webzine here. There may be other ones that should be merged or at least cross-referenced better, such as diskmag. —Quarl (talk) 2007-02-26 04:26Z
I just (re-)proposed a merger of Ezine into this one. Apparently Quarl's merger of February 2007 was undone by an anonymous (IP) (at Ezine). The end of the previous merger attempt. Ezine has less info than this one and the difference of content between the two is not clear enough to justify two separate articles (basically, there is no difference). So, let's have at it again, and this time we should not accept its undoing by external contributors (if, of course, we agree on this merger). More pages link to "Online magazine" than do to "Ezine"; E-zine redirects here, not to "Ezine" (same for E-Zine); there are (a few) more interwiki links here than at "Ezine". --Jerome Potts (talk) 01:15, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] ISSNs
- Just a single ISSN is listed on this page. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to untag this page and tag the individual pages on publications that could have an ISSN listed but do not? Keesiewonder talk 22:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed, and removed. -Tobogganoggin talk 23:46, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
ezine and online magazine are different things, an online magazine is a magazine online, on the other hand an ezine is something invented by doesn't matter whoever because ezine's history is the way that it can't be called an online magazine.
[edit] List of webzines
Is this section even necessary? It seems like it's just a place for people to advertise their own sites. --JYi 17:25, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
