[edit] Paul Sumner
I'm pretty sure Paul Sumner is not fictitious as photographs of Zzap reviewers appeared quite regularly in the magazine. My guess is someone's having a joke at his expense. I recall Paul became one of the review staff after Chris Anderson and Bob Wade left (around issue 4?). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Agdraconis (talk • contribs) 12:49, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
- No, Paul Sumner was a pseudonym used by many contributing writers, including Dominic Handy. (see ex-editor Gordon Houghton's website http://theburrow.zzap64.co.uk/zzap/zzapers/wherearetheynow.html ) Nreive 10:36, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Lucy Hickman
Lucy Hickman was never the editor of Zzap. She was managing editor of Impact's videogames magazines, but was never the hands-on editor of this particular title.
If the editors are supposed to be listed in order, the last three should be Stuart Wynne, Phil King, Steve Shields. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.201.12.111 (talk) 15:41, 8 May 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Staff Writers
The 'Staff Writers' section should be expanded or re-written to include info on the staff. Maybe even amending the section to 'Staff Members' to include all staff like editors and staff editors. Fictional staff could be included as a sub-section. Nreive 15:28, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup Expansion
The article as a whole needs a little clean up as the first section describes the initial history and then this is repeated in the 'History' section. More info is also required on the magazine features, regular content, covertapes?? Nreive 15:28, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- Cleanup is slightly misleading. Not a cleanup required, but more of an expansion on certain areas. Yes, it was a C64 magazine - so was a lot of other magazines at the time. What made Zzap!64 notable and different from the rest? Detail notable features and content. Also the Staff writers section needs worked on. At the moment it's just a list of names. Who are they? What did they do? Where did they go after Zzap!64? --Nreive (talk) 08:42, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] References
I've also had another quick look through the article and have noticed very few references, in fact there's none in the Commerative issue section at all. --Nreive (talk) 08:53, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
