Talk:Alternative Press (magazine)

message: The broad category Alternative press should not have been moved to Alternative media. Perhaps we need a disambiguation page. There are dozens of books on the alternative press (print) around the world. How about:
*Alternative press
*Alternative Press (magazine)
*Alternative Press (record label)
*Alternative media
I will wait a week or so for comments.--Cberlet 15:57, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Removal 

message: I'm confused. Is this only photocopies online, or can you actually have it sent to you once a month through the mail? Cuz, if it can be sent through the mail, I'd really like to get it. íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 02:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I've re-written it to meet Wikipedia standards. Note: all copyrighted material from Alternative Press magazine's website (www.altpress.com) has been removed and must not be pasted in this article per Wikipedia policy on using copyrighted material.  JGHowes 19:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Talk:Alternative press was a redirect to this talk page. There is now a separate and distinct alternative press article so I've removed the redirect. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 17:01, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Undid redirect 

message: :Image:Altpress first issue.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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Altpress first issue.jpg

message: And looking over the what-links-here for alt. press, nearly all of it came here, so I redirected that to this article (rather than go through the entire thing just to pipe alternative press to alternative press (magazine), ugh). With that said, if no one objects within the week (by Sep 23rd), then I think this should be moved over redirect, with a note on the top here that you may have been looking for alternative media (disambig seems a little too much for only 2 pages).

thread_title:  merged alternative press to alternative media 

message: Can some one show how this article is in anyway notable? Let alone provide the necessary references? --triwbe (talk) 09:52, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notability 

message: This article was moved from Alternative Press to Alternative Press (music magazine) in order to free up the term "Alternative press" for a wider usage via a suitable disambiguation page at that location. Scott P. (talk) 05:39, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
