Fair use rationale for Image:AmericaMagazine-September1917.jpg[edit]

Image:AmericaMagazine-September1917.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 17:33, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Publication title = The American Magazine[edit]

The name of this publication is The American Magazine, but a redirect from that title to American Magazine was created in August 2007, without any indication of the rationale for the move. I'm not experienced with un-redirecting articles, but it seems to be called for. — WFinch (talk) 19:23, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Pepso2 (talk) 20:15, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I do know how to fix all the little redirects so I'll happily do that. — WFinch (talk) 00:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Older than 1906[edit]

The Internet archives linked to have issues going back at least as far as 1851 with a London address [1]. Not sure if this earlier magazine is continuous with the 1906 one. Abby Kelleyite (talk) 18:34, 17 August 2010 (UTC) This reference [2] indicates that the secessionists from McClure's acquired an existing American magazine in 1906 which they then set about running as opposed to founding. Abby Kelleyite (talk) 18:55, 17 August 2010 (UTC) And here's an 1888 copy published by "The American Magazine Company" with an address on Broadway in NYC, and another name with a London location. [3]. Abby Kelleyite (talk) 23:09, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AbbyKelleyite, you are absolutely right. I think they may be different magazines. In any case, this page must be changed and a new page should be created for the older American Magazine. I believe it does begin in 1851. (kmecholsky) —Preceding undated comment added 13:40, 17 November 2011 (UTC).[reply]

American Magazine[edit]

Hi, I am writing about Ida Tarbell and looked into your article. The magazine was called "Illustrated" only a few month. When ed. Tarbell, Baker, Dunne, Steffens & White (Phillips Publishing Co.) took over it was called "THE American Magazine" from their first edition October 1906. Please look up here The American Magazine Contents Lists and also previous page. The American Magazine — USA; Jun. 1906-Aug. 1956 (a revamping and retitling of Leslie’s Magazine); John S. Phillips (1906-1911), Crowell (1911-1934), Crowell-Collier (1934-1956); monthly; standard format until 1913, then a big slick; editors John S. Phillips (1906-1915), John M. Siddall (1915-1923). Good luck and best wishes from Germany. --92.77.31.168 (talk) 06:27, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No change. I don't see an error. Pepso2 (talk) 11:22, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your External link to Internet Archive[edit]

Sorry, you didn’t look up a single issue mentioned here. (Just click on the title and go further to read). The caption is misleading, because all of them show “Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly” beginning in 1880. Not one The American Magazine can be found here.--92.77.31.168 (talk) 07:32, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Thanks. Pepso2 (talk) 11:02, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
