Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper[edit]

Judging by most of the external links, and e.g. this, the article should really be called "Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper", with a line to the effect that the name was later shortened to "Leslie's Weekly" (at least by 1906, [1] assuming that they are not two different newspapers). But I'm not an expert on this matter - any thoughts on the move? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 13:49, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support the proposal; making move. Morgan Riley (talk) 13:53, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is Frank Leslie's available to read online for free?[edit]

Does anyone know if Frank Leslie's is available to read online for free? I found some issues on archive.org and google, but not the entire collection. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 03:53, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Political tool; end[edit]

Two things are missing. 1) There is no mention of the paper's use as political tool as alleged at https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/11/worst-presidential-transition-1892-harrison-cleveland.html. 2) Why did the paper fold in 1922? Kdammers (talk) 07:34, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
