What's the point of the seemingly random "publication history" at the bottom? Any justification for it? 72.224.249.248 00:12, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. The magazine has been around over 100 years. Adding the publication history for every issue will create one long page given time. I suggest creating a seperate page if needed. I will remove it. Any objections revert it! tyx
I replaced the blank "notes" section with an external link so the page would at least seem complete. 72.224.249.248 16:41, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reorganization?
I feel the salopek and afghan girl sections could be better categorized somehow. Salopek, at least, could be placed with the greenberg case under "legal issues"...perhaps because it has its own article, the afghan section could be shortened and added under photography?

- After locating the main salopek article and linking to it, I feel it could be pared down a bit as well... Cjs2111 21:38, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Editors
I think a section about notable editors of the National Geographic would be useful. Also a section of notable and award-winning photographs captured by its photographers would likely be interesting as well.--TheLeopard (talk) 05:55, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Front Cover
My issues of NG sometimes have different front covers to the ones I have seen on the site and on the back of the 'year in review' in the December issue each year. Is it to do with the fact that I'm in the UK, or is it continental dependent (i.e. the European cover is different to the North American cover...) if anyone knows, it would be useful to add. -- J.P.Lon (talk) 09:30, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright of digital collection, request for clarification and facts (if poss.)
In the Greenberg section, I cannot understand what the digital collections being an "appropriate reproduction" would mean to my intention of putting all out-of-copyright - public-domain data from the CD collection on the internet, should it be clarified?. Would it be magazines until end of 1922? What would be the most expedient country in the world for me to go, so I can publish most material online???

—National Geographic Magazine article
Is this really necessary, especially as it is in the Introduction of the article? It is very long and out of place with the rest of the Introduction; and I don't see why it's even in the article. --SyntaxError55 talk 17:44, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] "...the United States, where membership ... was until recently the only way to receive the magazine..."
I (British) didn't know this, as it's always been in the shops here as far as I can remember. Can we please have more details, in particular when and why the change was made? 86.132.141.139 (talk) 01:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- Shouldn't there be some notice of what this magazine has meant to many young men before the Internet? Their only source of female nudity in a society which bans it, fresh from a society that doesn't? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 00:19, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] No mention of the nudity and "private parts", especially in decades-old issues?
I've heard jokes that National Geographic was the place to turn to for "pornography" before anybody ever heard of the Playboy bunny. 216.179.123.118 (talk) 19:44, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
