Fair use rationale for Image:Ladies Home Journal March 1922.jpg
Image:Ladies Home Journal March 1922.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 this Wikipedia article 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. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is 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.

Can you explain this?
I'm removing the following section. Hopefully if you know what this is about you can expand this so that it actually explains what was the significance of this event.
 * An article in the late 1970s featured Elizabeth Taylor, who was shown in a large picture on the cover, wearing a red gingham dress--no hint of her figure, just her face, hair and shoulders, and one arm raised with a hand in her hair.

Title
We now say in the History section, "Its original name was The Ladies Home Journal and Practical Housekeeper, but [Knapp] dropped the last three words in 1886."
 * When was the first word dropped?
 * When was the apostrophe added?

That section should begin in the beginning, repeating any information that is in the lead.
 * When was the double-page supplement Women at Home published?
 * When, where, and by whom was the magazine inaugurated, reportedly as tLHJaPH?

Ladies' Home Journal of Philadelphia (1897)
I came across a reference of such a magazine. Any idea if it is the same as this one? Paul, in Saudi (talk) 10:14, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Lead section
As it stands, half of the lead section is about the magazine's decline. This seems out of proportion. Ike9898 (talk) 23:56, 18 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Perhaps, but there is something to be said for its decline in proportion to its rise and success. I'm currently looking through the October 1940 issue on Internet Archive for an article I'm working on, and every single person in the magazine is white and blonde, and it's entirely devoted to selling products to married women, with little substance to the articles.  It's surprising the magazine lasted this long.  If consummerism is a religion, this magazine must have been seen as a biblical text. It's a pretty sad commentary on America.  It makes us look like vapid narcissists who don't care about anything but the latest popular brand. The future will not be kind to us. Viriditas (talk) 21:20, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
