I've added Bulgaria as a country where the magazine is published as PC World. http://www.pcworld.bg/ , official site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.233.196.178 ( talk) 18:43, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
Beyond the different name, is PC Welt any more significantly different from the U.S. edition than (e.g.) the Brazilian edition of PC World, which is also published in a foreign language? If not, I think it should be merged. PC Advisor- the British edition- doesn't have (or warrant) a separate article either.

The intro to this article is too long, contains too much fluff, and sounds like an advertisement. In fact, everything after the first sentence is advertising fluff that sounds like it was written by the editors of PC World. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.158.46.202 ( talk) 05:48, 8 May 2007 (UTC).
PC World was founded by people who left PC magazine when it was bought out by Ziff-Davis. That included David Bunnell, one of the founders of PC magazine.
The PC World's version of the story can be found here: http:[ http://pcworld.about.com/magazine/2103p019id108704.htm
This is pretty much the way industry gossip had it at the time, with the exception that part of the story (which has appeared in print in mags like Infoworld)was supposedly that Bunnell and a few of the others thought they were going to get a chunk of the profits when the magazine sold. They didn't, so they walked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.244.150.224 ( talk) 20:44, August 27, 2007 (UTC)
Someone needs to upload the new logo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.155.105.62 ( talk) 19:27, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Image:PC World logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I have reviewed the prior move discussion and the
WP:MOSTM and feel that the intention is to use official trademarks in preference to other forms, for example
eBay,
iPhone,
InfoWorld,
Computerworld,
Macworld, etc. (no space between trademarked words/syllables). I therefore propose that this page is moved to
PCWorld and that
PC World be made into a redirect to
PCWorld (reverse the redirect).

For the record, this page has been moved (at least) twice now:
Hopefully we can reach consensus on the most appropriate permanent home for this article.

I went to the official website and contacted the company that owns PC World. I was told that using a front cover of any issue, especially the first issue, would require a licensing fee. I declined the fee offer, so I bet using the cover arts without paying a licensing fee would not be fair use. If it's fair use, I think the use that requires a licensing fee would fail WP:NFCC#2. Someone would disagree, but I just would like to post this message intended for those wanting to add a front cover. George Ho ( talk) 05:45, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

PC World →
PCWorld – The magazine/website refers to itself as PCWorld not PC World. The previous decision to rename the article was wrong. The
above section regarding trademark/branding is correct. Further, this help distinguish this article from
PC World (retailer), which does use the space.

A discussion is taking place to address the redirect Pcworld. The discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 July 1#Pcworld until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. KamranBhatti4013 ( talk) 04:49, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
Currently in the wiki: The publication was announced at the COMDEX trade show in November 1982, and first appeared on newsstands in March 1983.
Citation for the above statement states: "The first issue of the new magazine PC World is scheduled for January 1983."
Issue 3 states "Printed in April 1983" in the table of contents it looks like the first and second issues are Feb and March? Issue 2 on the Internet Archive is missing some of the initial pages so I can't tell if it states the print date in the table of contents.
