Talk:The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Although it physically resembles a traditional pulp"...

No it doesn't! Pulps were bedsheet size and printed on pulp paper, often with tacky illustrations. F&SF has always been digest-sized, printed on book paper, and has no illustrations except cartoons and the occasional diagram in a science article.

My mistake, I've read it for years, always assumed it was like pulps, but without actually knowing... Stan 05:57, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Interior illustrations

The statement that the "The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction never used interior illustrations of stories. . ." is in error. Interior illustrations of stories are present in the April to October 1954 issues.--RKihara 23:35, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Fixed. Who were the illustrators? Pepso2 23:58, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

April 1954; The Inner Worlds - Uncredited, The Silence Game - Uncredited, Centaurus Changeling - Emsh. May 1954; Star Lummox - Kirberger. June 1954; Warrior in Darkness - Solovioff, Star Lummox - Kirberger. July 1954; Shadow of Wings - Solovioff, Careless Love - Solovioff, Star Lummox - Kirberger. August 1954; Fondly Fahrenheit - Solovioff, Gilead - Solovioff. September 1954; One Too Many - Solovioff, Brave New World - Kelly Freas, Prone - Faragasso, There Ought to be a Lore - Kelly Freas. October 1954; Lot's Daughter - Kelly Freas, Music of the Sphere - Kelly Freas, Mars is Ours - Solovioff. They may have stopped since a poll taken around this time showed that interior illustrations were not wanted by a majority of readers. Long stories and serials were also unpopular, but the editors felt that perhaps the sample was not representative--RKihara 06:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I just checked the F&SF Bibliography, http://www.sfsite.com/fsf/bibliography/bibliography.htm for interior art and they show more interior illustrations for September 1956 through December 1956, September 1957, and April, May 1959. Nothing else after.--RKihara 06:50, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Fsf2.jpg

Image:Fsf2.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.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Bokfsf.jpg

The image Image:Bokfsf.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.
