Link to The Idler[edit]

In the section 'Influence on other literary works', there is the following statement:

'The foundation of bi-yearly British magazine The Idler was influenced by the title and the ideas expressed in Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow.'

The link given here is to The Idler (1993), but the work referred to must surely be The Idler (1892–1911), which was founded by Jerome himself. (In the article for The Idler (1993) it states that that publication was inspired by Johnson's articles from the 1750s, which also suggests that the link is incorrect, although it does refer to the Idler being 'bi-yearly' (yuck: 'bi-annual' or 'twice yearly' would be better) rather than monthly, as Jerome's publication was. 82.25.187.61 (talk) 00:59, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
