Talk:Maximum Rocknroll

message: Clearly this and Maximum Rocknroll are overlapping articles about the same magazine. I don't know which spelling is considered correct, so I don't know which way the merge should go. -- Jmabel | Talk 00:50, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: well, in the latest issue issue its all one word, Maximumrocknroll.  i'm honestly not quite sure it matters as it seems to change over time.  it does matter that we think up all the variants and make redirects- i know this isn't normal redirect policy, but numerous articles have been created for this magazine because its spaced and capitalized so damn many ways- i know i made one once, and then found this a few days later, and i'm not the only one.  --Heah talk 03:01, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Maximumrocknroll →  – Judging by past discussions above, there's been some back-and-forth as to the proper name of this publication. While there are several variants, the best available evidence indicates the title should have a space. E.g.:
* The zine's official "about" page renders their name as Maximum Rocknroll, and the same rendering can be seen at the bottom of every page on the site above their address in Oakland, California.
* The ISSN Portal gives its proper title as "Maximum rocknroll", with the space. The ISSN page offers four variants—"Maximum rock and roll", "M.R.R.", "MRR", and "Maximum rock 'n' roll"—but does not list "Maximumrocknroll".
* As of today's date, Google shows 41,800 results for "Maximumrocknroll" vs. 83,700 results for "Maximum Rocknroll".
* Both the original logo (see ) and the basically identical current logo (see the MRR website) use really super-tight kerning between letters, making it look like a single word, but I promise if you inspect either logo closely, it's possible to discern that the distance between that "M" and that "R" are distinctly wider than the spacing between the other letters. The one-word variant is at best an (unofficial!) "stylization", but even then it'd be preferable and better-supported to capitalize it as "MaximumRocknroll", which is how AV Club recently rendered it at the time of their 2019 closure (but note that other secondary sources like Spin and ARTnews both went with "Maximum Rocknroll").
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk; let's move it. —blz 2049 ➠ ❏ 01:31, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
