divorce statement in this article is unsourced

[edit]

This article states that Bob Anderson was forced to sell his magazine due to a divorce. I can't find a source for this statement, however, I have found sources online where Bob Anderson himself stated that he sold the magazine to pursue other business ventures. KarateLady 04:35, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am a former employee of the magazine; several of my co-workers had been with the magazine before the Rodale acquisition and unanimously agreed that divorce proceedings were the reasons for the sale. (That said, I expect it would be hard to find a printed source making the connection, and it certainly doesn't weaken the article to remove the reason for the sale; it's most relevant only that the sale was made.) - Pjmorse 13:27, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pj, I am requesting that this statment be removed unless somebody finds a reliable source stating this to be a fact. People can speculate all they want about somebody's personal reasons for making changes in their lives, but this type of statement is harmful, in my opinion, to Bob Anderson and his family. It seems inappropriate and a violation of this man's personal and financial business. Just because divorce proceedings were in progress does not mean he sold the magazine for that reason.

But I agree with you that this statement does not affect the article, really, and I greatly appreciate your post. Thank you for taking time to respond to my discussion on here. KarateLady 02:48, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've tweaked the opening sentence of the sale section to simply state that Anderson broke up and sold the business, with no statements about why. Should do the trick. KL, I appreciate the work you've done on this article; it reads much better now. - Pjmorse 15:04, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Pj. I appreciate your hard work on here.

I did a slight rewrite on the portion in question and added a few internal links. I hope this sounds okay. I'm trying to follow guidelines that I've learned from some good folks on Wikipedia. Based on my research, Anderson World Publications went through changes, but Bob Anderson was still publishing FIT magazine and others up until 1987. Macmillan distributed many of his books too for a good number of years.

In any event, editing articles like this one has inspired me to get back to doing more running! I plan to shop for new running shoes this weekend. :) Cheers to you, KarateLady 16:18, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Runner'sWorld-cover.jpg

[edit]

Image:Runner'sWorld-cover.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 Wikipedia: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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

File:Runner's World cover July 2011.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion

[edit]
An image used in this article, File:Runner's World cover July 2011.jpg, has been nominated for speedy deletion at Wikimedia Commons for the following reason: Copyright violations
What should I do?

Don't panic; deletions can take a little longer at Commons than they do on Wikipedia. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion (although please review Commons guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.

  • If the image is non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
  • If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
  • If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Commons Undeletion Request

Address Updates

[edit]

Hi Editors,

I hope everything is going well. Reaching out to see if anyone can review and make the below updates? I work with a few publications and have a COI. I understand per guidelines that I shouldn’t make these updates myself and have numbered them below following the request format. I appreciate help in seeing what’s possible!!

2)

  • Requested Update: The intro paragraph is out of date and some lines are redundant based on what’s already lower down on the page.
  • Why: There are new formats of Runner’s World (ex. experiential, website, digital membership), and blanketly saying that it’s globally circulated monthly doesn’t make sense for these newer iterations at different frequencies. Would something like the following work?: “Runner's World has developed experiential formats including a digital membership program, called Runner's World+.” Also, Is it possible to remove the acquisition line - it happened a while ago and it’s in the history section already?
  • Source(s):

3)

  • Requested Update: Circulation numbers
  • Why: Currently out of date. The latest numbers are print: 1.6M, digital: 2.4M, and total: 4M.

Hi @Camillefrancis, saw your note on my Talk page. I can take a look at all of this. --FeldBum (talk) 02:12, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @FeldBum Sorry, I missed this ping last week - thank you. Let me know if you need anything clarified or provided as you review. Camillefrancis (talk) 21:19, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Camillefrancis I made a bunch more edits and left you a question. I also removed some blatant POV lines from the article (but since they were the last unsourced lines, I also removed the tag). --FeldBum (talk) 16:44, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @FeldBum, thank you for reviewing, understood on what’s possible. Responses below, as well as a few more things to review (labeled by letters to not confuse with the first batch). Let me know if there’s anything I can help clarify or provide. Thank you!! Camillefrancis (talk) 21:39, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some replies to the below:
  • I added first issue based on the cites you provided in #3
  • I added the line in for #5, but we only want to link each internal wikilink once (maybe a second time in the infobox)
  • For #7, I'll take a look. Do we have end dates for those editors?
I'll take at those new requests too. --FeldBum (talk) 18:30, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • For #5 - Yes that makes sense, and I wanted to mention Bob Anderson has a Wikipedia page. Should that be linked throughout and in the editor section?
  • For #7 - Requested Update: Editors - I think the dedicated section you made makes sense. I found a few more editors mentioned below - I’m still trying to find sources but would past print editions with the masthead work to confirm? How would I provide a print source for reference?
    • Why: Missing historical information
    • Editors:
      • Joe Henderson - Started in ‘70 - He has a wiki page Joe_Henderson_(runner)
      • James C McCullagh - Started in ‘87
      • David Willey - 2003 - 2017
      • Also Bob_Anderson_(runner) and Robert_Rodale’s pages aren’t linked here
        •  Partly done. I answered earlier about the excessive linking, but I added Henderson and Willey. I can't find a good source for McCullagh, but I did find that Bart Yasso used to be an editor. Should he be added?


ADDITIONAL REQUESTS
A)
B)
Hi @FeldBum, saw you made some edits, thank you again for reviewing and seeing what's possible. Sending summary of what is still open for review - I wasn't sure if it was left unaddressed meant that it wasn't possible or if you were still reviewing. Thanks!! Camillefrancis (talk) 20:46, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Camillefrancis, a few answers:
  • I can resort the books and the ones above
  • That works for request #9, with some edits. I can edit
  • I can also make something work for request #A
  • Mastheads should work here. I'll take a look for sources too. This isn't contentious information, so any source will do here
FeldBum (talk) 17:57, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
-Thanks for adding some books. Did you happen to see my second request (#B) of additional publications. Also 2011 + 2012 are out of order chronologically, they need to be swapped. Could you look into this?
-Request #9 is pending - Would something like this work? “In 2020, Runner’s World, along with the additional brands in the Hearst Enthusiast Group launched their a mechanical testing lab (“the Test Zone”), for product and gear testing reviews. This new testing space is located near trails along the Delaware and Lehigh rivers for ease of outdoor product testing.”
-Request #A is pending
-I don't have end dates available for the additional editors, but if mastheads or links to past issues help I can provide that? Let me know what I need to provide print sources if that's necessary. Also, would it make sense to only keep the current EIC in the infobox? The position is technically runner-in-chief, it's currently in the info box, can this be updated throughout?
Hi @FeldBum, sorry, missed your ping during the recent holidays. Thank you again for the review - makes sense. I realized the International Circulation section isn't quite clear, could you review this? Essentially, as of As of 2024, there are 11 international editions (including the US flagship): Australia, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. This is the similar to the line in the intro paragraph - just with more context in the dedicated section. Let me know if that makes sense, thanks. 19:02, 5 December 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Camillefrancis (talk • contribs) [reply]
Sorry, missed this earlier. I updated. There are no citations, so I removed the unsourced countries. --FeldBum (talk) 18:27, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
