Talk:Grip

The title of the zine is actually "Grup" *hangs head* Also, what's the best way to link to this bit about the zine? http://fanlore.org/wiki/Grup

Is the Grup zine on this page a different zine than the one linked above? On this page it says Grup was a gen multimedia zine and the other page says Grup was the first adult, or R-rated Star Trek zine. --Doro 17:13, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Now I'm thinking they're two different zines. I just figured I got it wrong when I saw the "Grup" page. Here's a link to a "Grip." http://cgi.ebay.com/Star-Trek-TNG-Star-Trek-TOS-Fanzine-Grip-41-1992_W0QQitemZ380141362777QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item588230de59&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 (Mrs. Potato Head)

I would say it's a different zine. The title is clearly spelled "Grip" on the cover. (PS: If you want to sign your name, you can click on the second to the right symbol of the editing box. Your name will then show up as Mrs. Potato Head :-) --Doro 18:00, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Layout

The layout of this page is a mess. I think it looked much better before. Why change it to this? --Doro 23:08, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

What change? All I'm doing is adding covers. --Mrs. Potato Head 23:23, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
The last time I checked it looked like this and now there is an long stretch of nothing. :( --Doro 21:43, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Doro, I don't understand. It looks fine to me. I think we need some help. Someone? --Mrs. Potato Head 22:19, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Once the covers are added, you have two choices - create a gallery at the bottom or do what Mrs P is doing and placing them next to each table of contents. If you place them into their own section, you will have white space next to the covers until the table of contents are filled in. which is, I am assuming, the next thing that will be done? So Mrs P add a note?--Morgandawn 23:37, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
I just added placeholder text, removed the 'clear all" code and if we're going to add tables of contents, it will look fine once the toc info is added. if we're not going to add table of contents, then I suggest a single sample image at the top, with the full gallery below. --Morgandawn 23:42, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
I may have TOCs for these, but I'm not sure. I'll have to dig through my notes. If I don't come up with the contents, I'll make a gallery at the bottom. Can we just let it be for a while? --Mrs. Potato Head 23:53, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Okay, folks. I just typed in the last of the toc I have. Some more will probably turn up here and there, but it may be a while/if ever. Sadly, the first two issues, besides covers, are blank so the article starts off rough. Do you want me to move all the covers to a gallery at the bottom? Just give me the word. --Mrs. Potato Head 20:27, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
I don't think moving the covers is necessary. --Doro 20:44, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
Personally, I prefer it when covers stay integrated with the text. --æthel 21:19, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
Me, too. Cover galleries are, at times, a necessary evil, but never my first choice as I don't know if people always scroll to the bottom of records to see the pretty stuff. And especially in a long article like this one where it is a huge block of text and a long way to the end. I like Doro's fix, and hopefully some more TOCs will pop up. --Mrs. Potato Head 22:02, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
