Talk:Details (magazine)

The link here that claims to be for the official magazine site is actually pointing to a sleazy site selling magazine subscriptions. Cheap stunt. Not cool. I don't know how to delete a link, but if nobody else does it, I'll figure out how to delete it. Very annoying. --MikeTrutt 19:02, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

500,000 circulation? Can anyone corroborate this? That sounds very high for a magazine of this nature.

Fair use rationale for Image:Detailsmag.jpg

Image:Detailsmag.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 ensure 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.

Current version is V3

Details went through three versions.

• Version 1, in the 1980s, was a magazine for very "in" clubgoers, mostly in NYC. Stephen Saban and Michael Musto wrote up events in the hot clubs of the period. It wasn't a "men's magazine". "In the 1980s, the men's fashion magazine "Details" was something quite different - an East Village art/punk fashion monthly that was entirely in black and white (sometimes even the cover) and very devoted to covering the gossip of the downtown scene in New York City at the time." [1] Dianne Brill was mentioned a lot back then. Now she sells lip gloss.
• Version 2, in the 1990s, was sort of a dud.
• Version 3, the current version, is a men's fashion magazine.

Need reliable sources for the earlier versions. --John Nagle (talk) 18:00, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

I would actually say that version 1 was predominately a women's underground fashion magazine. Version 2 was retooled more toward men in their 20's. While I agree it was more or less a dud, it did spawn Wild Palms. - Artificial Silence (talk) 05:11, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Non-existent references

There are problems with all but the first reference, which does not point to a web page:

    (2) Page not found
    (3) Opens to a blank page (i.e., nothing there, but doesn't show an error)
    (4) Nothing specific to Details Magazine
    (5) Page not found

I have changed, but never removed footnote references, and felt I didn't have the experience to do so for these problems.

... suggested that Details was for men who hadn't worked out why they liked looking at pictures of other men yet. Just sayin'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.208.41.147 (talk) 14:33, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
