[edit] Persistent vandalism

For reasons which may be obvious this article appears to attract more than its fair share of vandals. Thus a game RC patroller will find vandalism on top of other vandalism; it's not enough to roll back to the last version.

I think the most recent version containing good matter is this.

Between the time I reverted the article and pulled history to copy the link above, the page was again vandalized (and reverted). I'm starting to think of this as an emergent issue. John Reid 22:04, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I requested protection for it. The last good version is the one as of 21:10, 8 February 2006 -- user:Marc Lacoste 22:27, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article lift

I for one would like to see an expert's hand go over this article. Based on my feint background knowledge and puny French, I can't gather too much about this magazine's history, especially in the 60s, how Charlie got to be Charlie mensuel, and then Charlie hebdo, if they're indeed all that closely related. Was Charlie/mensuel a monthly "special", now ceased BD publication, and Hebdo a weekly text issue?. Just a request. MURGH ^disc. 02:23, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello again! You're right, the explanations are a bit confusing. I *think* they created Charlie Mensuel as a comics magazine, and then when Hara-Kiri was banned they sort of resurrected it as Charlie-Hebdo to fool the censors. I am not sufficiently sure of it to edit the article though, will try and find some sources. Thermaland 11:17, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I much appreciate help from proficient French speakers to understand this context. From what i could glean at Fr:Wp, an entry for Charlie Mensuel on its own was merited, so I started it. MURGH ^disc. 15:36, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

And to make matters even more complex, apart from Charlie Hebdo and Charlie Mensuel, they also kept Hara-Kiri as a monthly. And later on (16 and 17 march 1981) they even launched a daily, called "Charlie Matin" that only came out two days.
