[edit] Click right think left
Do they mean click right as in using a mouse? If so, what are they trying to say? --Wasabe3543 05:05, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Film reviews
Does the village voice give the toughest film reviews or what? It seems like a film rarely gets a positive review unless it's truly superb. --Sirkeg 20:33, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What on earth can this mean?
"The voice is also recognized for its 18+ content usually in the back of the magazine and is the only newspaper to do so." There is so much wrong with this sentence I hardly know where to begin:
- "The voice…": presumably "The Voice…"
- "…is also recognized…": by whom?
- "…for its 18+ content…": I presume this is a euphemism for sex ads? Why euphemize?
- "…usually in the back of…": so it is sometimes elsewhere? News to me.
- "…the magazine…": it's not a magazine, it's a tabloid.
- "…and is the only newspaper to do so": grammatically, "to do so" has no referent. However, the real nub of the matter: this sentence seems to be saying that the Voice is the only newspaper to do something (to have sex ads? to be "recognized" for them—by some unknown subject? something else I'm failing to consider?). If the claim is the first, then that's ridiculous: these are an economic mainstay of alternative weeklies around the U.S., and right in NYC Screw consists of little else. If the claim is the second, then whom is it uniquely recognized by? And, if it's the third, then what's the claim?

I agree with Jmabel's comments, so I fixed this sentence, and moved it to be a separate paragraph. Perhaps others can tweak it to make it more accurate. SaxTeacher [[User_talk:SaxTeacher|<font size="1">(talk)</font>]] 13:09, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] what day of the week is it published?
not on their website in their about page either —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.196.0.50 (talk • contribs) 23 May 2006.
It officially comes out Wednesday but you can get it Tuesday evening. People used to line up for it every Tuesday evening at Astor Place in NYC for the real estate listings. I don't know if they do anymore.03:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gender
Fascinating: in the list of columnists, nearly all the men have individual Wikipedia articles, nearly none of the women do, and none of the women have a non-stub article. - Jmabel | Talk 06:52, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- You're right - I was amazed, for example, that Teresa Carpenter has no article. I'll try to get an article up in the next week. A good project would be to begin doing articles for some of the others.PaulLev 15:44, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

- Ok, no time like the present - I just put up a stub for Teresa Carpenter.PaulLev 16:18, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Silke Tudor pic?
Right now there's a painting of current Voice columnist Silke Tudor as one of the illustrations. Tudor has written only recently for the Voice and isn't that well known -- couldn't a photo of a better-known Voice writer be found and used instead?

- Replaced now by Nat Hentoff, a much better choice. - Jmabel | Talk 22:50, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
