Specifically, browse to the bottom of these pages.

Hi Chuck:

___I remember the guy that wrote the Hypermiling def and I was trying to help him out but it came out a bit misconstrued? In either case, they say what they say …

___I saw someone linked CleanMPG in the linked sections! Thanks for pointing these definitions out.

___Good Luck

I included the CleanMPG links last night.

Feel free to give me advice on editing them, or getting a free Wikipedia account to edit them on your own.

I'm not seeing the links. Maybe they got removed.

They were removed. :(

Did I do anything wrong?

I didn't think there were people that go around and remove links.

Maybe you should add a blurb about wayne in the prius marathon and the 2006 tour de sol?

Add a page specificaly to him where you talk about him and his exploits on cleanmpg.com ;)

hehe I think he is worth a wikipedia article.

Agreed.

Maybe I should read on Wikipedia's policies.

Linking CleanMPG may be promotion, but (1) we are not the first forum to do so, and (2) we are a good resource.

Hi Tom:

___You are embarrassing me! If there were a wiki on those events and the drivers, it would have to be listed under “Nut Case” :D

___Chuck, the hypermiler def included the description of “Club” and there is no club about it. Also, I consider anyone who matches or beats the EPA combined a hypermiler and I do not believe that individual posted that correctly either? I remember the discussion over at GH quite some time ago although the specifics are somewhat vague.

___Good Luck

I need to study this some more, before I try this again. If the Wikiapedia administrators have an issue with what I did it would be a bad idea to offend them further.

I respect their right to regulate their site. While anyone can edit, if they don't overlook it, there will be no credibility.
