Notability

[edit]

For notability of this article, I am relying on Wikipedia:Notability (media)#Newspapers, magazines and journals point 5: significant publications in ethnic and other non-trivial niche markets. I feel that the subject has notability as a prison art magazine, a rather niche area yet very significant for its readers. I hope that this will suffice. – Reidgreg (talk) 01:31, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYK hook ideas

[edit]

@Damien Linnane and Antrotherkus: Hey there! I was hoping that the two of you, being familiar with the subject, might have some ideas for a DYK hook. I can handle the nomination, pay the QPQ, and put both of you on as co-nominators. But I'm honestly not sure about a hook and would appreciate your thoughts. We've got seven days to nominate (though we can continue working on hooks after the nomination). – Reidgreg (talk) 01:45, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for offering to do the nomination, I appreciate it. These would be my suggestions, though I'm very open to others: "... that Paper Chained reaches over 12,000 prisoners in Australia via tablet computers?" Incidentally I've just noticed that the link in the article is wrong. It should be Tablet computer. It is currently "computer tablet", which redirects to Graphics tablet, which is a different kind of device to what they have access to. Otherwise I'd suggest "... that Paper Chained was once banned in some Australian prisons due to its pen pal program?" Damien Linnane (talk) 12:33, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
hello! either of linnane's hook suggestions would probably work, but for me personally, i would like to suggest this one: "...that Paper Chained International hosted prison art from 25 prisons in 8 countries?" ✶Antrotherkus✶✶talk✶ 16:06, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, the nomination is up at Template:Did you know nominations/Paper Chained. A bot should transclude it at the bottom of this page shortly. – Reidgreg (talk) 15:35, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Images

[edit]

@Damien Linnane: Let me know if you have any images to be added to the article. I'm particularly interest in the PC logo for the infobox. The one at the top of paperchained.com is quite small, do you know where I can find a larger one? – Reidgreg (talk) 01:49, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Reidgreg. Paper Chained has two official logos. The small square one at the top of the website, and the longer banner-style logo that appears a the top of the inside cover of each issue from No. 5 onwards, the one with the two pencils erasing the chains. The logos are used interchangeably depending on the size of the logo desired at any location, and the need to give the full-name of just the initials. The square one appears on the inside cover of each issue from No. 5 as well. You'd be welcome to screenshot either, or I could email you a larger version if you like. It's my understanding that a single magazine cover could be added under fair-use rationale. The first four issues don't reflect the current style so it's my understanding they would not be appropriate under FUR; I'd prefer issue 9 wasn't used, purely because it departed from the norm as well.
I have many photos from the PCI exhibition. If you think an image from the exhibition would be appropriate, let me know. There are laws of varying clarity regarding photos of artworks; you might have to check in with a licensing expert to see if a photo of many artworks from far back at the gallery would be acceptable. Otherwise I can provide a photo of myself either standing with artworks or helping install them (arguably I am the primary subject of the photo in this case, which I believe changes things for copyright, though you may still have to check in about that). Otherwise I can provide a photo of myself and Margaret Beazley in front of artworks, or a photo of myself, Margaret, the then Acting Commissioner of Corrections, and Deputy Commissioner of Corrections Luke Grant giving speeches at the exhibition. In both these latter options, artworks are mostly obscured by people standing in front of them, which in my understanding means that they are acceptable for releasing into the public domain. If you think one of those options would help, let me know which one you'd prefer. I can email them to you for consideration beforehand if you like. Damien Linnane (talk) 03:42, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'll grab a 100k pixel (fair use) capture of the issue 5 cover for the infobox.
For the exhibition, I think a photo with the three of you (Beazley, Grant and yourself) at the gallery would be great! So long as the artworks within the picture are not at a commercially reproducible resolution, that should be okay. Note that only the photographer can release it under public domain or creative commons license. If that is not possible, we could again go fair use with a 100k pixel picture. – Reidgreg (talk) 14:59, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
After getting run-around and mixed, messages at Commons, I decided to just upload the image I definitely hold the copyright to. You're welcome to use this and/or crop it: File:Paper Chained International.jpg. There's also new potential sources added at the top of the page. If you want a scan of the Japanese The Nikkei interview (with translation) let me know. Damien Linnane (talk) 02:30, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

COI declaration

[edit]

Obviously, as the current editor of the magazine, I have a clear conflict of interest in this article. Accordingly, I will not edit it, other than to revert clear vandalism, and perhaps non-controversial minor edits like fixing typographical errors, but I will avoid even doing that and will instead try to point them out to others wherever there is an active discussion. Any suggestions I make for the article on this talk page should take my COI into consideration. Damien Linnane (talk) 12:56, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • ... that arts magazine Paper Chained had been banned in some Australian prisons due to its pen-pal program?
  • Source: Sadler Denham, "The Benefits of Prison Pen-Pal Programs" in About Time, quote: "Linnane previously ran an informal pen-pal program for those in prison through his newsletter, which led to it being banned in several prisons in Queensland and Victoria, and removed from tablets in New South Wales prisons." (Note: in its early issues, Paper Chained looked more like a newsletter than a polished magazine.)
Moved to mainspace by Reidgreg (talk), Damien Linnane (talk), and Antrotherkus (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 27 past nominations.

Edit request

[edit]

  • Add one or both of the following sources after the sentence "held in Brisbane, Australia, in March 2025."[1][2] (There is a non-RS recording of the second source here if you want to verify that it backs the statement up.)
  • Add the following sentence and reference at the end of the second paragraph in the 'Exhibitions' section: "Paper Chained International toured to Newcastle, New South Wales in February 2026."[3] (There is a non-RS recording of the interview if you want to verify the source here)
  • Consider adding the photo File:Paper Chained International.jpg into that section, with the caption clarifying that it is Governor Margaret Beazley speaking in the photo.
