Can we get a authoritative answer on how this company's name should be pronounced? -Speedeep 15:37, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
- Check out AT&T natural voice (German). Sounds like 'Mee-luh'. Shawnc 20:45, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- I'd say more like ' Mee-leh ' Bilky asko 13:39, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Why delete it ???.
- I see there is other corporation stubs and corporation articles in Wikipedia. So i delete the {{deletion}} message. Expand the article, but don´t delete it. --Mac 07:29, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Sure. Take the adverts out, though, I think. Mucky Duck 09:32, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
It is pronounced similar to the name "Sheila" or "meal-ah", by User: JerZee. The article in regards to Miele has been taken from the book "100 Years of Miele" 1899-1999 A chronicle of 100 years of the company. To expand in its entirety would be very extensive, and in no way is this meant as an advertisement, but as insight as to how the company grew to its current status from the initial partnership of founders Miele and Zinkann. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JerZee (talk • contribs) 2006-12-05 13:20:59 (UTC)
- Amazon knows of no such book. Please cite the book in the article using {{cite book}}, filling in all of the necessary details. Uncle G 14:02, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Slogan
Not seeing any references I would translate immer besser in the sense of continous betterment. Both meanings are used in the German language, and a reference would be needed to show which meaning Miele is using. Agathoclea 00:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
As stated previously this comes from the book Published by the corporation Copyright 1999 Miele & Cie GmbH & Co., Carl-Miele-Str. 29, 33332 Gutersloh, Germany. Printing: Druckerei und Verlag Hermann Bosmann GmbH. '100 years of Miele' logo: Henrion, Ludlow & Schmidt, London. I doubt it can be found on Amazon. I suggest a call to Miele in Princeton, NJ (USA) to verify the existence of such a book, and not use Amazon as a sole source of reference. Ask for the Director of Marketing, who should be able to back up the statements as referenced above, the history of the company, and the book that is being referred to. To those who are concerned about the authenticity on this information can ask to have a published copy sent to them for verification.
The company was founded in 1899 and to publish the history of the company as printed in this forum, can not be done in a timely manner, especially with the time I have allotted to this format. It can be added to in small increments as time allows.
I am an employee of Miele USA. If you do not wish for me to expound the reference to Miele in Wikipedia, than I will no longer continue to add references to this article as my time is to valuable to argue against nonsense with facts that I have before me. I am only trying to add to the database of Wikipedia, if that is not possible than I am done adding informative facts to the Definition of Miele.
This reference is not intended to be a sales article but rather an informative history of Miele.
The German words "Immer Besser" translates to English as Forever Better.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by JerZee (talk • contribs) 2006-12-07 17:00:59 (UTC)
I have added recent information to the Miele definition. I will add more info as time allows, to give more insight to the Miele brands. Please feel free to edit, however the added info is accurate as it is written.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by JerZee (talk • contribs) 2007-02-12 15:00 (UTC)
