Talk:Golden Hours (magazine)

Should contents of this article be moved to The Argosy?

[edit]

On November 3, 2006 this stub article was created, but I believe it was confused it with the children's magazine Golden Argosy, started by Frank Munsey in 1882. That children's magazine became Argosy (magazine), and magazine for adults. The children's magazine Golden Hours: A Magazine for Boys and Girls was a religious periodical published between 1869 and 1880. Would anyone have an objection if I changed the article to show the contents of the actual Golden Hours magazine, and moved the current contain to Argosy (magazine)?

@Karenthewriter, Golden Hours. A Magazine for Boys and Girls was a Methodist magazine published in Cincinnati. At some point someone confused the two and added Cincinnati to this article as the place of publication. However Golden Hours : A Weekly Journal of Good Literature for Young Folks was published in New York by Norman Munro and, as his article and the New York Times obit show, was not related to Argosy.

@StarryGrandma thank you for your input. I understand that there were two Golden Hours magazines, one was published between 1869 and 1880, and the Norman Munro one was published from 1888 to about 1910. But the current Golden Hours (magazine) article has a reference that tells about Golden Argosy becoming The Argosy, so I became confused, and I'm wondering if someone confused Golden Hours with Golden Argosy.

Apology for my mistake

[edit]

I looked at a portion of what the reference source stated, saw a section on Golden Argosy, and assumes two magazines were being confused. However, when I went back and read the entire page linked to the reference, I saw that there was a footnote at the bottom of the page that mentioned the magazine Golden Hour and gave the date of its first issue. I am sorry for jumping to conclusions, and not reading the entire page – including the footnote – before assuming that Golden Argosy was being referenced.
