Update Wikipedia - United Bimmer Community

**aLm** · 05-23-2006, 02:26 PM

recently i 've seen the golf gti definition in wikipedia, and noticed that it has grown a lot.

but the bmw definition is short, especially the 3 series is weak compared to golf. just an idea...for those who want to contribute to the bmw community by writting your knowledge about bimmers on wikipedia and boost the reputation of bmw. just a thought

i know i have a gti sig..

I added unitedbimmer.com to the Community Page next to bimmerforums.com. Bimmerforums.com and unitedbimmer.com serve the same purpose and do the same thing, however unitedbimmer.com does it in a much move civalized manner. Thus I do not understand how bimmerforums, and all the other forums listed under community can stay, and unitedbimmer.com must be removed.

Re-add it at a different time of the day, and hope that same guy's not online. After the change remains for a few hours, there's such a flood of changes on top of it, they probably won't notice it.

latest:

In response to your message on my talk page, the BMW article is a frequent target of spammers. Your insertion looked like spam to me, since your only edit that I can see thus far was to add the link. If you think the unitedbimmer.com link should be in the article, try bringing it up on the article's talk page (here). Let more regular editors of that article determine which link is better suited for the page.
Also, have you thought about creating an account? When you edit under an account, your edits tend to carry more weight, and your editing history is all in one place. These things help when editors such as myself are trying to determine the motive for a particular change.
If you have any other questions or concerns let me know --AbsolutDan (talk) 00:24, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
