Talk:Wheels (magazine)

Wheels history

Wheels was not the first Australian motoring magazine. In 1946 Keith Winser started the Australian Monthly Motor Manual. The magazine went fortnightly in the early '50s and reached a peak circulation of around 35,000 in the years before the arrvial of Wheels. Motor Manual became Car Australia in (I think) 1985. Mention should also be made of Australian Motor Sports magazine, a monthly devoted to motor racing, that began in 1947 or 1948. Under News Limited ownership AMS became Australian Motor Sports and Autombiles before folding in early 1971. I know all this because I worked on AMS, Motor Manual and Wheels. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.106.58.150 (talk) 01:47, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Wheels (magazine) → Wheels magazine — This is the magazine's actual title; it was moved without discussion by Shortride. Relisted for further input. Jafeluv (talk) 08:46, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

• Oppose The formal title appears to be Wheels magazine, but the informal title seems to be Wheels. By our conventions, we do not accept stylistic capitalisation, so if there was any move it should be to Wheels Magazine, as it is a title or proper noun. So the question should really be whether we want it as the formal Wheels Magazine or the informal Wheels (which requires disambiguation). Even the formal Wheels Magazine would require disambiguation, as there is already an article on the Swedish publication with the same name. Better to leave it just where it is.

• Oppose Actually, the name of the magazine is just Wheels according to the picture on the site. Time (magazine) is listed the same way.--WikiDonn (talk) 09:58, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
• Comment You need to look a little more closely. The magazine is hidden on the bar of the second e in very small print. Skinsmoke (talk) 18:11, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
  • I checked a bigger picture of the magazine cover, and it doesn't say magazine there. The only thing there is the month and the year, and that is only in some issues. The rest are blank there. --WikiDonn (talk) 04:58, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Deleted section re Wheels being the first in Australian newsagents

I have deleted the section re Wheels being the first in Australian newsagents. The Australian Motor Manual 1949-50 Annual page 130 makes reference to obtaining Motor Manual magazine from "your newsagent". GTHO (talk) 23:01, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
