Frequency[edit]

Is Playboy now bi-monthly? The article, which is up to date regarding them bringing back nudity, still has it as monthy. (I realize they probably published one so-called double issue a year.) But I noticed this on the print subscription web page: Playboy publishes six double issues. A double issue counts as two of twelve in an annual subscription. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.172.146.200 (talk) 17:39, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. Topher385 (talk) 17:16, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Please just change the circulation citation from 800,000 to 673,473. This is what I request for amendment to the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.191.37.14 (talk) 18:16, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Not done for now:. Ideally, we'd have a secondary source for that (i.e., a source unconnected with Playboy). RivertorchFIREWATER 07:26, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Donald Trump[edit]

Whilst they did not pose nude, would it be worth mentioning in the Celebrities section that Donald Trump was featured on the cover in 1990??? SecretName101 (talk) 23:04, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Upon my second-examination, I have come to beleive that this would be better suited for mention in the "The Playboy Interview" section.
Not sure where it might fit in this article, but Trump also appeared in cameos in at least three pornos produced by Playboy, and his wife Melania had a cameo in one of those pornos (see the following link) https://www.nydailynews.com/amp/news/politics/donald-trump-playboy-videos-1994-2001-article-1.2818929 SecretName101 (talk) 23:11, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Please request your change in the form "Please replace XXX with YYY" or "Please add ZZZ between PPP and QQQ".
Please also cite reliable sources to back up your request, without which no information should be added to, or changed in, any article. - Arjayay (talk) 12:04, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Clarity of Interview Section[edit]

The Following line reads as though Alex Haley coauthored the autobiography of George Lincoln Rockwell, when in fact he coauthored the autobiography of the former, Malcolm X:

(historian Alex Haley, for example, served as a Playboy interviewer on a few occasions; one of his interviews was with Martin Luther King Jr.; he also interviewed Malcolm X and American Nazi Party founder George Lincoln Rockwell in the April 1966 issue,[49] then coauthored his autobiography). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.19.180.237 (talk) 11:58, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Per L.A. Times article pretty good bet sometime in 2018 private equity firm Rizvi Traverse after acquiring Hefner’s 35% interest from his heirs will discontinue the U.S. print version of Playboy magazine. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-playboy-magazine-20180102-story.html

Playboy Now Unlisted for Alliance for Audited Media for Circulation Averages Ending 6/30/2018?[edit]

Playboy is unlisted for the Alliance for Audited Media circulation averages for the six months ended: 6/30/2018? [1] This is perhaps the first time in its history Playboy’s sales figures are not listed for a national audit. Look for Rizvi Traverse to kill this magazine in 2018.199.227.97.254 (talk) 21:01, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Playboy to Become Quarterly in 2019[edit]

Please add the following sentence to the last paragraph of the Publication History section of the article to read as follows: "In an interview with The New York Times given on September 12, 2018 Playboy CEO Ben Kohn announced while the magazine is not going out of print it will become a quarterly beginning in 2019."[1]199.227.97.254 (talk) 16:31, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

Sasha Grey[edit]

Sasha Grey is listed in the 2010s (2010-10-10) and the 2000s (2009-12-09) lists, and it would be arguably undue to add both lists to Sasha Grey#See also (two entries at the moment.) Therefore I suggest to add her here in section #Celebrities under Film for one entry in this See also. This would also help to balance the shorter left column of #Celebrities with the longer right column:

old
* [[Denise Richards]] ''(December 2004)''
<!-- ATTENTION EDITORS: CONSENSUS ON THE TALK PAGE HAS BEEN REACHED.  THESE LISTS SHOULD BE KEPT TO NO MORE THAN TEN (10) NAMES PER CATEGORY!! -->
new
* [[Denise Richards]] ''(December 2004)''
* [[Sasha Grey]] ''(October 2010)''
<!-- ATTENTION EDITORS: CONSENSUS ON THE TALK PAGE HAS BEEN REACHED.  THESE LISTS SHOULD BE KEPT TO NO MORE THAN TEN (10) NAMES PER CATEGORY!! -->

The literal consensus (3×10+11) was already broken, one overlong entry under Television additionally broke it very visibly in the right column, and the three other categories (not TV) are stuck in ancient history (the 2000s). Plan B, I could ignore the 2000s and add only the 2010s list to Sasha Grey#See also, and you can eliminate one (pick) of the 11 Television entries.

While at it and if you have admin rights: Consider to change the semi-protection to required review here, I've tested this for three months, it works like a charm, and is simpler than {{edit semi-protected}} for all involved parties. –84.46.52.92 (talk) 21:00, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
