When Was the Last Issue Published?

It was begun by William Como and ended when he left it. The details I don't know. There should be people you could ask: I suggest starting with its last masthead. See http://gensum.kaist.ac.kr/~cs660/downloads/ap89.docs Alethe 14:33, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article does not include an important piece° of information. When was the last issue of After Dark magazine and why did the magazine fold? Keraunos 07:07, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot locate information as to either. The Library of Congress listing shows "May 1968– "; see footnote 1 as to the most recent issue available for collectors—not an indicator that it's the last issue at all. Can't find information on why it folded, either; I could assume that advertising revenues failed to meet expenses (the usual reason), but this is an encyclopedia—assumptions aren't verifiable information.—Chidom ^talk 15:00, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I worked in the Dancemagazine offices in 1985, when William Como was still the editor, and it was told to me that for a young man to be featured in Afterdark, he pretty much had to have sex with Bill Como if he wanted him to, from reliable sources.Baron D.

Unspecified source for Image:After Dark Jan 1973 - Bette Midler.jpg

I found Image:After Dark Jan 1973 - Bette Midler.jpg and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If there are other files on this page, consider checking that they have specified their source and are tagged properly, too. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:52, 28 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:After Dark Jan 1973 - Bette Midler.jpg

Image:After Dark Jan 1973 - Bette Midler.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 Wikipedia articles 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.

If there is other 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 02:52, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
