Talk:Cover girl

message: Reworded/took out article content so the article is from a relatively NPOV. Still needs work! Rewrite, perhaps expand a bit. Sections needed? Ideas: Famous cover girls, external links to magazines that have cover girls, an image or two. NOTE: Deleted most of my previous discussion comments because most of it was unneeded explanation (can already view changes via history.) Atellus 04:44, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the comment (which probably should have been on here in the first place?) trying to find a reputable source to link with a permanent content url rather than a search. --JeffUK 19:19, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The picture seems to be advertisement for tobacco smoking. I think this makes it illegal to link to in England and I am not even sure if it legal to view using the internet.
The other reason is that, I think, it would be considerred, by most people with asthma, to be in bad taste, unless, of course, it was on a page about tobacco advertising. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alec - U.K. (talk • contribs) .
:I am sympathetic to your plea, Alec, but I do not believe a historical image in this context infringes any laws in the UK. Perhaps we should let those with asthma (I am not one, so I cannot say for sure) let us know whether such an image would cause them concern.—Stombs 13:39, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  2 reasons why the picture should be removed. 

message: At the time it was considered acceptable to portray this sort of imagery, thus this picture can be considered a historical fact of its time. Let's not become Disney who censors their material at any slight disapproval or fear and lie to our people about our censorship. Instead let's become stronger and admit to our shortcomings in history which will teach us to become better human beings, admit that while smoking kills people it's a choice to quit or not. Though it's difficult to quit due to the addiction many people have from the chemicals in tobacco.
Let's get angry at the men and women in The White House who not only allow the cigarette and alcohol company's to sell their products underhandedly, but refuse to legalize any other drug that other people are addicted to and paint all the people addicted to them as criminals. Let's get angry at the food industry who put addictive's within our food and drinks as well as toxins which become labelled as natural flavor's or artificial flavor's because they want consumers to not become aware of what they're eating. Let's get angry at the many people who believe men and women addicted to both legal and illegal drugs are criminals instead of people who need help quitting because they're just victims to the drug industry which the tobacco and alcohol company are in. But let's not get angry at Wikipedia who tries its best to be an online encyclopedia for everyone while being as accurate as possible. 
I hope my response can help you reconsider your idea of censoring this image for being offensive. Storm Machinine (talk) 04:04, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
