Talk:Shōjo Sekai

Possible references

I found this one, but I do not have access to it. Does anyone have access to this? ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 04:03, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't have access to that, but it shouldn't be difficult to find some references. Give me a couple days, and if I haven't posted anything, please put a reminder on my talk page. Matt Thorn (talk) 04:45, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Sure thing. Thanks for looking. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 04:56, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

How's it look? I cut the reference to Shoujo Club's circulation, since it seemed to fall into the category of trivia, and is not directly related to Shoujo Sekai. I also cut out "Contributors to the magazine were part of a group called {{nihongo|"Takanekai"|たかね会}}, and they included the following", since I can't find a decent reference for the Takane kai, and the Japanese Wikipedia page is vague (and, as usual, contains not a single citation). The only reference I could find to the Takane kai was on online article about 内藤千代子, that includes the following paragraph:

この人がなぜ千代子の周辺の人々の中に入るかと言いますと、もともとはこの松平鏡子、松平千代子という名前でもって『少女世界』に書いておりました。この『少女世界』というのは沼田笠峰という主筆がおりまして、この沼田笠峰が大変な教育者で、このひとの奥さんも大変な教育者でした。御夫婦で当時いろいろ投稿したり、なにかを『少女世界』に書いたりしている、そういう人たちを育てようという姿勢があった。彼等は「たかね会」を主催してそこで子供達を育てていた。そのメンバーにこの松平鏡子、そしてその次に書きました森田たまも入っているわけです。

I'll see if I can find out more in off-line sources. Matt Thorn (talk) 13:33, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Categories?

I added nonfiction, poetry, illustration, and photography. Is "Shōjo" a category of magazine content? The magazine contained very little that could be called "manga". Matt Thorn (talk) 01:42, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
