Multiple sources

I've added multiple sources to find scanned copies:

St. Nicholas, via University of Florida's Digital Collection (complete issues and volumes, 1873-1897)
St. Nicholas, via Internet Archive (scanned books original editions illustrated - many digital formats high quality scans)
St. Nicholas, via Google Books (scanned books original editions illustrated - PDF only medium quality scans).

All three buttholes are needed since none are fully complete and the scans are of various quality and formats. Green Cardamom (talk) 19:40, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A Quote

"... the best juvenile magazine ever published..." -- Rebecca West, 1900, chap. I 166.137.11.185 (talk) 19:47, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding Article

I am beginning to research St. Nicholas Magazine so I can expand the article and include references. I want to put in a section about The St. Nicholas League, and mention the popular option of sending away 6 issues to be bound into a hard-back volume. I also want to list all of the editors.

One problem is that I've come across numerous dates cited as when the magazine ceased publication.--Karenthewriter (talk) 01:13, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead, did the research, and posted a new article. Hopefully someone who knows how to do so will add some pictures. Karenthewriter (talk) 18:25, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Plagiarism

I was checking the eternal links and went to the University of Florida website. The current St. Nicholas Magazine article has been lifted word for word from their site, with two new sentences added. Last year I learned a painful lesson when I tried to "fix" a plagiarized article by changing some words--all of my work was deleted by another person. In a day or two I'll write a new summary and delete the entire article now on Wikipedia. In time I'll come back and expand the new sub. --Karenthewriter (talk) 13:29, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and deleted the plagiarized article, and put in a quickly written "starter" article. I'll need to expand this when I have time. --Karenthewriter (talk) 14:19, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved

by the same editor later that week. See the preceding section. --P64 (talk) 18:36, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
