Talk:American Heritage (magazine)

Website?
Does anyone know what is up with the website. Simply going to the website it appears to be for sale? However, Internet Archive liveweb of the page shows content still. Chris857 (talk) 20:13, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I just went to the website link in the infobox and it worked fine. Maybe a temporary glitch? 72Dino (talk) 20:28, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Where do you live? I'm the United States and the website displays essentially a green and red box listing "Sponsored listings for American Heritage" instead of the actual website. What do you see? Chris857 (talk) 20:32, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I also live in the US, but see normal content for a magazine like this. I don't see a box like that at www.americanheritage.com . . . interesting.  However, on other PCs I've had problems in the past with search engines, etc. being hijacked by a virus.  Hopefully you don't have that, but it's a possibility. 72Dino (talk) 20:36, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm currently at a University machine, but it is the same way on my home machine with a different ISP. Turning off javascript didn't help. Since Chrome and FireFox display the same way for me, I don't think it is browser-dependent. This is weird. Chris857 (talk) 20:42, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
 * And now it is working, at least here at my house. Chris857 (talk) 20:19, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

The expectation that a fact expressed in 2013 needs repetition in newer sources
So my edit comment was  (If you have a source which states that AH gave refunds to subscribers please edit the article accordingly. If you have the expectation that there will be sources regularly repeating "AH has not given refunds", that is a false expectation.)  First question: Why isn't that edit comment responsive to "How can a 2013 source support an assertion about what has or hasn't happened as of 2017? "  No source since 2013 makes the contrary claim - i..e that AH did offer a refund to its 2013 subscribers.

My edit mentioning the lack of refunds was deleted or scrubbed without explanation by User:Heritager in December 2016 and I restored it. I've researched it and found no claim that AH did give a refund to its its 2013 subscribers. So the 2013 reference remains true in 2017 at least in the Wikipedia sense of true. Second question: Do events that were documented required regular repetition in newer sources to remain in Wikipedia?

 * If you wish to say that as of October 2017, the Empire State Building is the tallest building in the world, you need to cite a source from October 2017. Citing a source from the 1940s isn't sufficient. Same thing here. If you wish to say that in 2013, there were no plans to send refunds to subscribers, cite a source that says so. If you wish to make a different statement, that as of October 2017, no refunds have been sent, you need to cite a source no earlier than October 2017 that says so. Please see WP:No original research. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:48, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Refunds Refunds
From the trade publication Pub Exec https://www.pubexec.com/article/magazine-misery/


 * Short of bankruptcy, you can’t just shut down the magazine and walk away from those subscriptions. You are legally obligated either to refund the subscribers or to provide them something of similar value. The usual exit strategy has been to merge an unprofitable title into a profitable one or to sell off the subscription list to a competitor.

Historical Context
In the history of this magazine what was the context of the works they printed, was it geared toward white Americans or do they showcase more diversity in the articles and images? Nutella717 (talk) 00:56, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
