[edit] Article title
The magazine's official name is one word: Commentary. In theory, this entry should be redirected to an entry called "Commentary." And all references in the article to "Commentary Magazine" should be changed to either "Commentary" or "Commentary magazine" (with a small "m"). --68.198.233.112 02:31, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, and I'm moving the article from Commentary Magazine to Commentary (magazine). JamesMLane t c 22:21, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Remove the Designation "Neoconservative"
I object to the pejorative term “neoconservative” to describe Commentary. The term “neoconservative,” unfortunately, has been used as a code-word for Jews. Those who use the term “neoconservative,” use it shield an anti-Jewish bias, in that they claim to not have hostility to Jews but only to neoconservatives; and this article further connects Jews to this much maligned political persuasion; since Commentary is a publication of the American Jewish Committee.
The two references to Commentary as being a “neoconservative” publication are hostile to both Commentary and neoconservatives; without clearly defining “neoconservativism” and what relation, if any, such a political persuasion has to Jews, Jewish culture, and Jewish American concerns.
Anti-neoconservative rhetoric appears very similar to anti-Zionist rhetoric in that hostility to both neoconservatism and Zionism are a cover for antisemitism.

I respectfully disagree. Neoconservative was a label coined by Commentary (magazine) editors Irving Kristol and Norman Podhoretz. It simply meant former leftists who became "conservative" in the 1970s. It refers to Jews because the original neoconservatives were Jews who felt the New Left was anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist. And one more question: if Commentary isn't a neoconservative publication, what is?
- On its own website it claims to be "the flagship of neoconservatism". Meowy 23:28, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Commentary.jpg
Image:Commentary.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.
