message: Why is this page so marked up? Reminds me of a political controversy.
Anyway, I see where all the clubs were deleted Deleted Clubs (Go down to Line 41) Why was this done? It seems useful if you own one of these cars, you would like to know where one can go to compete and have fun with them. Unless your hobby is to just run it around in your own garage or send your kid out to the garage.
Maybe someone can explain this to me??
For instance, let's say you have an AM radio. Wouldn't it be nice to find the article that tells you all about how they are made, when they are made, etc., and then tell you what you can do with it by listing all the AM radio stations so it is a useful product. Only makes sense to me.
Could it be that isn't the issue at all... that these car clubs should have their own page? The fact that these car clubs "sell" products are no different than an AM radio station advertising. 
Maybe someone can enlighten me on these concepts. I go to some Wikipedia pages and they are clamoring for more information. Over and over again. But this one really surprises me. It is like, let's make this as small and as useless as possible. Just the facts... what the cars are, what they do, when they were made, and that's enough. Doesn't seem to fit with what I've seen on all the other articles on Wikipedia. 
This is such a small hobby I don't think you are going to get much information without including the dirty old world of Capitalism. Yeah, these companies make money on these things or they wouldn't exist. And this hobby isn't driven by GM or Ford or CNN or MSNBC. One big guy that makes them and a few little guys with add on products. And the users hang around in forums that are tied to making money. Such a cheap hobby isn't going to get someone with the love of creating a forum for the few that would most likely be out racing their cars.
So, yeah, I think the grammar and spelling sucked. And it needs some cleaning but I don't see why that should raise all the stuff at the top of the page. I did my little part of cleaning and might have made it at least acceptable, but why waste your time if this is of no value to anyone. You'll probably get a better understanding from the manufacturers website than Wikipedia. Just the opposite than what I've come to expect from Wikipedia. 
Maybe someone can fill me in with the "concept" that I am missing about this?

thread_title:  What '''''REALLY''''' seems to be wrong with this article?? 

message: Mini z bodies have been used with the specialised slot car Plafit chasis since 2007.  The  popularity  of this race class has  grown year by year, worldwide there are many major races each year with a set of national and international rules that are strickly followed by all at the race meetings. The race rules also provide a guide to building a great plafit/mini z race car.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.214.144.5 (talk) 13:26, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
