Magazine cover

I am interested to know why you have replaced issue number #1 with December 2024?

Issue number #1 has historic significance, and accords with the adjacent prose.

What is special about issue December 2024 that has caused you to source and upload a new version?

Your edit has caused issue number #1 to be marked for deletion.

If this new version has no particular significance, please consider requesting your upload for deletion.

Thank you.-- 82.13.47.210 (talk) 00:01, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Magazine cover images

Hi I see you've been replacing the cover images in various articles about magazines with current (November 2024) issues. With these kind of images, one should be wary of a tendency towards recentism, and it is worth bearing in mind that non-free images, such as magazine covers, are liable to be deleted if they are no longer used in WP articles. Particularly in articles about long-running publications, it might be worth considering retaining "historic" covers elsewhere in the article? Letdorf (talk) 19:01, 24 November 2024 (UTC).

(talk page stalker) Thank you for restoring Bike (magazine) cover, and for your comments Letdorf; as it is a short article, it was not possible for me to re-add the bot-removed non-free file, before the admin hid it. It was something I considered, as we do sometimes show old logos in the prose.--82.13.47.210 (talk) 22:16, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
