Luxury Car Comment

Re: Your comment about the "General Definition of luxury cars." Well, the Western European definition of a luxury car is pretty close, check out the VDA annual report, besides I should know-I'm German. But of course the situation looks a lot different in developing countires but considering this issue it would be plain IMPOSSIBLE to have a definition of what a luxury car is. But also consider the following: if you apply the General Definition I outlined on any market it will point out the luxury cars in that market. Even in developing countires such as Russia no one calls an Escort a luxury car, even if they themselves can't afford it. But the cars that fit the criteria outlined in the "General Definition, and most propbably only those, will be identified by the people of that particular developing country as a luxury car. Even though I'm gonna think of a way to create a separate definition for developing countries, it really does seem to be impossible. Thanks for being concerned though Gerdbrendel 06:00, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

America/USA Poll

Can you just claifiy your vote. you appear to have voted *against* keeping the status quo, but your comment says you support the status quo. (Status Quo is 'United States' unless a common propper-noun such as 'American Football'.) --Barberio 14:14, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

The poll was on what should be normal practice, not on if we should explicitly state it as such. (altho, that would be implied in a vote to Keep) Many people have taken your vote as the oposite of your intent, so I've moved it. --Barberio 15:26, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment on Talk:Metre#History of the metric system

What does this have to do with this article or the discussion? —Centrx→talk • 20:28, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

It was a humorous comment about BillFlis's statement that 100 (Fahrenheit) is about as hot as it gets. Markb 05:15, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I see now. I will spare you "lols" and just tell you that I find it funny and that I am actually laughing aloud. By the blandness of this comment you may not believe me, but it is true. —Centrx→talk • 07:48, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Seeing my comment it still looks fake, even though I did find it funny. No sarcasm intended. Beating of dead horse done. —Centrx→talk • 04:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

No worries! Markb 05:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

London Wikimedia Fundraiser

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 23:22, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Velo Club Londres moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Velo Club Londres, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 08:03, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Velo Club Londres

File:Ambox warning pn.svg

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Velo Club Londres, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
• It is a draft which has not been edited in over six months. (See section G13 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
