Oz (magazine) and OZ magazine clearly should be merged. I have no strong opinion on which direction the merge should go. -- Jmabel | Talk 21:39, Dec 6, 2004 (UTC)
All things being equal, I guess this is the better title, even though the other is the older article. OZ magazine will become a redirect. Merging the histories would only be confusing, so the history of the other branch of work is preserved at [ [1]]. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:51, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)
Lacking access to good sources, and finding contradictions between the articles, I am removing certain details about the 1964 Australia trial which I believe may be wrong and cannot verify. Please, if someone has citation for these, indicate where they are verified from, and restore.

The above points have still not been addressed. Tyrenius 03:50, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
There were two trials - the first and the sixth issue of Oz magazine in Sydney were considered obscene by the Vice Squad. At the first trial the editors pleaded guilty, at the second they pleaded not guilty and appealed the original guilty verdict.
Sharp received a lesser sentence, I've never come across the idea that this was because of any imputed defect. I think it was because he was the art director rather than the editor, who were held to be more responsible.
Richard Neville's 'Hippie Hippie Shake' is a good source for details about dates, the trials and Oz in both Sydney and London.

Please check the image pages for OZ covers, as they are being marked for deletion and need a full fair use rationale. Tyrenius ( talk) 18:22, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
"As Richard Neville said in his opening statement, other issues had been assembled by Homosexuals clarification needed and members of the Female Liberation Movement."
The commented out text says "correct usage in this context". Why? If no explanation is given I'll change this. It sounds bizarre and semi-homophobic. At the very least the context must be explained to the reader. Popcornduff ( talk) 21:20, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

OZ (magazine) → Oz (magazine) – Per MOS:ABBR, MOS:CAPS, MOS:TITLES, MOS:TM. This is not an acronym. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 22:25, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

The section ends with, John Lennon mentioning the change of the song title “God Save Oz” to “God Save Us” … and then neglects to give the details. Possibly a bad edit from a previous version of this article? Definitely needs fixing. 75.106.32.81 ( talk) 23:55, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
