Marilyn centerfold

There's discussion at Talk:Marilyn Monroe addressing using an image of the centerfold of the first issue. Discussion should be held there, not at the edit comments. Diego (talk) 12:31, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Origin of "Playboy" name

I have been told by the Wiki police that the following information may not be added to the article because of the lack of references. So far as I know, no published references exist. It seems to me that personal information which could be lost to history ought to have a place for archiving. I suppose this may be the only place. So here goes.

My father is Eldon Sellers. Dad is currently 92 (b. 3/9/1921). His mother, my grandmother, Vere Sellers, who died in 1999 at age 100, worked for the Playboy Automobile Company prior to 1953. Although there are sources that verify my dad was the origin of the name Playboy (as is correctly given in the present article), no published source I am aware of gives the reason my dad suggested this name. In fact, the reason is, according to dad, because the name was in his head due to his mother's association with the car company. That's the long and short of it. I do not believe this fact exists in any published account of the history of Playboy. If anyone is aware of a source, please provide it so this information can be added to the Playboy article.

When I pointed out to the Wiki Police, who removed my statement about my grandmother in the Playboy Magazine article, that the same information existed on the page for the Playboy Automobile Company, they removed it from there as well!

With my grandmother dead and my dad in his nineties, it is unlikely the true origin of the name will ever make it into print.

Thanks. Rorick Sellers. December 23, 2012. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roricka (talk • contribs) 05:49, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

According to http://www.playboymotorcars.com/ you are correct and there are reliable sources. The Biography TV series, E! True Hollywood Story, a documentary Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist, and Rebel as well as a confirmation letter written by Hefner. Template:Cite episode should be accepted as RS format for the first three. The letter is a primary document and we can't use that. If a secondary source verifies the document then that source could be used. http://www.playboymotorcars.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/CruisinLifemagazine.135112629_large.jpg seems to be another source if we could find that May 16, 2011 issue of Cruisin Life magazine online and translate it from Italian.--Canoe1967 (talk) 17:05, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on Nov 2, 2013

It says "am" instead of "arm"

The spelling error in the article has been corrected. Or at least that's what I think this message was getting at. Dismas|^(talk) 01:02, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
