[edit] Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia! You added some one-word definitions of apophasis, paralipsis, and proslepsis to my to-do list. I take it you speak modern Greek? I know a little classical Greek, so I know what they literally mean ("saying no", "leaving on one side", and "taking toward"), but I'm interested in the figures of speech they refer to in English, which is a confusing matter. Thanks anyway though, and χαιρε! (I hope I used that right.) —Keenan Pepper 09:12, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MG Club of Greece

I have proposed this article for deletion. Please remove the "prod" tag if you disagree and either try to improve the article to show notability (see WP:Notability) or discuss the matter on the article's talk page. --Brianyoumans 03:05, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Thank you for replying via my talk page. I understand that this is not a for-profit organization. I'm afraid I have gone ahead and proposed the article for deletion via the "AFD" mechanism (see the link on the page to the discussion). I have done this, not because it was a bad article, but because I felt that your organization did not meet the notability requirements for inclusion in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, or a directory.
  • I have some suggestions, if you would still like to see some sort of link to your organization from Wikipedia, and still want to participate. First, you can put a link to your organization on your user page (see the tab at the top left). If you join the Greek user groups on Wikipedia, various people will see the link and find out about it. Second, it is possible that while an article on the MG Car Club of Greece is not notable, an article about the international MG Car Club - with links to its local affiliates - might survive. The article might still be of questionable interest to anyone who wasn't an MG owner, but it would obviously have a better chance of surviving. It would help if it was, say, "the largest sports car owner's organization in the world" or "the oldest" or had been involved in some political or legal controversies of interest. I would be willing to look over the article and give advice, if you write one. --Brianyoumans 21:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aligning tables to the right

The code I had on my user page was in fact incorrect, so you are probably better off with Help:Tables if you want to do it the right way. If you look at the source of my user page, the babel and user box templates are placed in a one column table aligned to the right. There are arguably better ways to do this, as tables should generally be avoided when dealing with non-tabular data, but I decided to do it the quick and easy way for my very temporary user page. :) — Nivix talk 11:38, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
