Talk:Martin and Osa Johnson

message: I have removed the following from the article as it is a blatant piece of advertising, albeit for a group of stores named after the Johnsons.  It has no place in their article.  Shame on the person who put it there.
 ==Store==
American Eagle Outfitters plans on opening a new line of stores named after Martin and Osa Johnson, called Martin and Osa. 5 stores are planned to open by the end of 2006 in select malls, with 10 to 15 more stores planned to open in 2007.  The first store is currently scheduled to open at Tysons Corner, Virginia in early September,2006.
Storefronts will have wide entrances, but no windows.  Rather than having windows to see inside, the exterior will be covered with wood and a strip of opaque blue glass.  Inside the stores will have a natural materials theme, with plenty of wood and stone.  The archetypal customer is a 30-year-old man or woman, but the new brand expects to attract people aged 25 to 40.  The brand's tag line will be "Refresh, Replenish, Repeat" with a line underneath that reads "Please dispose of your old clothes properly."  The message is meant to encourage buyers to bring in their old clothes to Martin and Osa which will redistribute them to charities. 
If it reappears in the article, it will be removed. 86.133.245.23 15:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed this material from the article - it's not really encyclopaedic and is unsourced, but thought it ought to have a home here at least. Jasper33 (talk) 16:35, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Adding the Women's History banner here as Osa does not have her own article.  Her non-traditional role and popularity helped make "women as adventurers" a more accepted group.  --Tbennert (talk) 18:59, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Under the heading "I Married Adventure" there is a long, somewhat confusing, completely unsourced and (I believe) erroneous description of how to identify first editions of "I Married Adventure".  For example, it claims "First editions will include 'MANUFACTURED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY THE HADDON CRAFTSMEN, INC., CAMDEN, N.J.'" on the copyright page.  I happen to own a copy of this book that's inscribed by Osa and dated "March 2, 1940" in her own hand; this date was just 3 months after the book was first released.  The copyright page of my copy bears no such phrase; it merely reads "Copyright 1940, by / Osa Johnson / Printed in the United States of America".  As the sales of the book took off during 1940 (it became the bestselling nonfiction book of the year), the title was reprinted at least 6 times, but each subsequent printing bore the notation of which printing it was; the first edition did not.  Since the claims here for identification are unreliable and unsourced, I think they should be removed. Occam's Shaver (talk) 07:20, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
