Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/June 7

Today's featured article for June 7, 2024
Cover of the May 1911 edition Munsey's Magazine was an American magazine founded by Frank Munsey in 1889 as Munsey's Weekly. This was not successful, and Munsey converted it to a monthly in 1891, printing both fiction and non-fiction. In 1893 the price was reduced from 25 to 10 cents and circulation rose to over 250,000 issues. The same year Munsey became one of the first publishers to regularly feature a pretty girl on the cover. Circulation was also helped by the liberal use of illustrations, and reached a peak of about 700,000 in 1897, declining in the 1910s. Well-known writers appeared, including O. Henry, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Rice Burroughs, P. G. Wodehouse, and Joseph Conrad. In 1929 it was merged with Argosy, another of Munsey's magazines. Magazine historians consider Munsey's to have started a revolution in magazine publishing by setting a low price to increase circulation, and attracting sufficient advertising revenue to make a substantial profit. Other magazines quickly followed Munsey's example. (Full article...) Recently featured: Saving Private Ryan Double sovereign 550 Madison Avenue

Osirak

For 1981, I propose we make it the following:

• 1981 - Operation Opera: The Israeli Air Force attacked and disabled Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor.

It was merely disabled by Israel; the United States destroyed it in the first Gulf War. --Kitch 23:05, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Treaty of Tordesillas

Please see here for a comment on the wording of the "Treaty of Tordesillas" entry, specifically regarding the description of territories inhabited by non-Europeans as "newly discovered" without any additional clarification. Thank you, -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 18:00, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
