Since there is no other entry for the term ramparts why don't we rename this article Ramparts? -- Viajero 19:35, 22 May 2004 (UTC)
Why was it called Ramparts and why did it close?--Jack Upland 05:53, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
This article is largely based on an article in Folio, which I've linked to on the main page. It probably came to Wikipedia by way of this article on Sourcewatch wiki. On SourceWatch, the source was at least acknowledged. The last paragraph is the real problem - its a direct cut-and-paste from the original copyrighted source article.

Vietnam veteran Don Duncan was military editor for Ramparts and gained strong media coverage for that.

According to the following source, the CIA actually financed Ramparts, could that be possible? Can this article address this issue? Here: Cord Meyer (1980). Facing Reality: From World Federalism to the CIA. pp. 86–89. --192.223.243.6 (talk) 18:06, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
Sevendays magazine appeared in the mid-70's shortly after Ramparts' demise and openly stated that it was attempting to carry on the legacy. It put out a few monthly issues and might have gotten to biweekly for a little while; it admitted that the title was mostly aspirational, but it attempted to be a high-quality, glossy lefty magazine aimed at least a somewhat young, somewhat hip audience, something that The Nation of that (or maybe any) era could never do. I would guess that it was 1976-1978 or something like this; I don't know any area libraries that have it in their bound periodicals now, but it either needs its own, linked article or at least a section here, but someone would need the resources to research it, which I lack. 2600:1004:B104:6E3A:F0C4:B6F9:6683:8256 (talk) 02:12, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
This article is grossly deficient in that it fails to mention the major role played by Ramparts in 1966-67 by exposing the activities of the Central Intelligence Agency in the funding and infiltration of American and Foreign student, youth, labor and press organizations.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nsaer (talk • contribs) 04:08, September 7, 2014
The article states:
However, according to John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories (which doesn't mention Ramparts at all):
