I have done quite a bit of research on Yank magazine, and I can't find any reference to Judy Garland --- I know that different theaters of operation produced their own versions of the magazine, but can anyone find an issue date and/or number?

Image:YANKmagazinecover.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 insure 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Do these fair use templates ever get removed? All three images on this page have fair use rationales on the Commons, and the file to which this refers no longer exists. Hzoi (talk) 18:30, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

McGurn and White give a different account of what articles the Army command objected to. White says the disapproved articles were: 1) a description of pay raises for soldiers that some felt gave the impression soldiers just wanted money, 2) An article on hand to hand combat techniques that was felt to be too graphic, 3) a humorous account of a soldier-reporters visit with Eleanor Roosevelt that the command felt was disrespectful. McGurn says the offending articles were: 1) an article calling for a second front in Europe in 1942 and 2) articles disrespectful of Hollywood stars claiming to support the troops.

The Yank editor Joe McCarthy is not the same man who became a Senator from Wisconsin and alarmed the nation with warnings of Communist infiltrators in the government. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marfinan (talk • contribs) 18:33, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Maybe a snippet page or differentiation page can be made so that fact can be shown? Also, where did the name come from? Is it the origin or a reference to the use of the word as masturbate? 173.128.176.163 (talk) 00:08, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

"Also, where did the name come from? Is it the origin or a reference to the use of the word as masturbate?" Come on. Use your head. It's the common definition of Yank, like the one that appears on the Yank disambiguation page. As in "The Yanks are coming," from the chorus of Over There. Hzoi (talk) 18:30, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
