Talk:Autoweek

AutoWeek's website
The link to autoweek's website seems to have broken. This link will work:

http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage

This was due to the relaunch of this popular automotive enthusiast site. Check it out for latest car and motorsports news. Live coverage from the Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS).
 * Umm, www.autoweek.com redirects just fine. --Vossanova o&lt; 16:06, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Proposing new history section
Hello, the current History section of this article is lacking citations. I have compiled a brief history of Autoweek using multiple sources, which I have saved in my sandbox User:DetroitSteele/AwSandbox. As noted on my user page, I am an employee of Autoweek and aware of Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. Because I have this conflict of interest, I would prefer not to make this direct edit myself. Would it be possible for another editor to review what I have put together and post the changes if you think it is better than the current history section? --DetroitSteele (talk) 19:20, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Since you are likely now an ex-Autoweek employee, can you explain the recent direction to simply rehash press releases on electric cars as their primary output in the past 6 months? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.51.227.35 (talk) 02:47, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Proposing new section on Editorial Direction
I've put together a brief section on the Editorial Direction of Autoweek. One of the sources is a blog, but I inquired about this as a WP:RS and it appears to be fine since the author is an authority on the topic (published writer and former employee). You can find that discussion here - WP:RSN. The proposed addition is located in my sandbox User:DetroitSteele/AwEditorialStyleSandbox. As noted on my user page, I am an employee of Autoweek and aware of Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. Because I have this conflict of interest, I would prefer not to make this direct edit myself. Would it be possible for another editor to review what I have put together and post the changes if you think it would add to the quality of the current Autoweek article? --DetroitSteele (talk) 21:50, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

New section for shopautoweek.com
In my ongoing effort to improve the Autoweek article, I have drafted another section about a website that Autoweek began last year. It can be found in my sandbox here - User:DetroitSteele/AWshopautoweekSandbox. As noted on my user page and other posts above, I am an employee of Autoweek Media Group so this is a section I would prefer to have another editor review and/or post. I am always open to feedback if it appears changes or additions are necessary. Thank You! --DetroitSteele (talk) 18:16, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Autoweek's Vinsetta Garage addition
I drafted a section to be added to the Autoweek article about their television show - Autoweek's Vinsetta Garage. It can be found in my sandbox here - User:DetroitSteele/AWVinsettaSandbox. As previously noted, I am an employee of Autoweek Media Group so this is a section I would prefer to have another editor review and/or post. I am always open to feedback if it appears changes or additions are necessary. --DetroitSteele (talk) 20:41, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Autoweek info box, intro and external link section
I made some edits to the infobox along with the intro section to add some references and update information that is currently inaccurate. It can be found in my sandbox here - User:DetroitSteele/AWAboutSandbox. I also made edits to the external links section to include the other Autoweek sites mentioned in the article - User:DetroitSteele/AWExternalLinksSandbox. As previously noted, I am an employee of Autoweek Media Group so this is a section I would prefer to have another editor review and/or post. If it appears changes or additions are necessary I'd be happy to hear feedback. --DetroitSteele (talk) 14:24, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Circulation Data for Autoweek
I noticed that Autoweek's circulation data is now listed by the Audit Bureau of Circulations (North America) and would like to add this data to the infobox. I have created an updated infobox in my sandbox at User:DetroitSteele/AWInfoBoxSandbox. Please comment if there are any concerns with this addition. If not, I will likely make the addition on Thursday or Friday of this week.

Autoweek 2013 updates
As of 2013, there have been a couple of changes within Autoweek. Their television show (Autoweek's Vinsetta Garage) is off the air, and their car-shopping site (shopautoweek.com) has merged with autoweek.com. I have made three proposed updates for the page that can be seen in my sandbox User:DetroitSteele/AWshopautoweek removal. The 3 edits are an updated final sentence of the opening section, adding a new sentence at the end of the History section, and removing links from the External Links section.

If someone could please make these updates for me, I would appreciate it as I have a conflict of interest.
