An Article could belong_to several models, so you could have @article.category and @article.magazine. How would @article.parent know which 'parent' to use?

I totally agree, but it would be convenient to obtain an array of multiple parents. Something like:
parents = @article.belongs_to parents # => ["Magazine", "Category"]
Look into reflections, there should be something in there you can rely on.
