Talk:Mongol Rally

message: I am quite surprised that there wasn't a page on this already, but I searched and didn't find one...if you'd like to add more info please feel free--this article has Featured potential.  Paul 19:09, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: There is still much information to be added to this article.  

message: We could do with a few photos of previous years. Hopefully I'll have a few of my own photos when I get back from the 2006 rally, but until then it would be nice if somebody with their own photos could put one or two up here.
If you are interested in more information, videos, and photos, visit our website at http://www.badcolonies.org/rally.html.  We participated in the 2006 Mongol Rally and have posted extensive information pertaining to our journery. Sb13c 17:02, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Photos 

message: It seems strange to have a early history section for an even that is only a few years old. Perhaps the paragraph could be incorporated into the lead somehow? Also I don't think we should quote the website, quoting people is much better. What do people think? Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 20:28, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Layout of the article

message: Added information on other rallies to Mongolia. These keep being deleted by the organisers of the Mongol Rally as spam but are not. The concept of rallies to Mongolia is broader than one organisation and Wikipedia should not be used as an advert simply for the one organisation listed here.

replies: text: This article is about one specific and clearly notable rally. Can you show that the other rallies are also notable enough for Wikipedia (eg. because of non-trivial coverage in mainstream media)? If so, then they should get their own article. If not, then we don't need to mention them here either. --Latebird (talk) 16:11, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Thanks Latebird, this article seems to be being spammed to advertise other events. Please show that the other rallies are also notable enough for Wikipedia and create a new article. Bluetack (talk) 11:28, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

text: This isn't a question of WP:NOTABILITY but relevance to the article. There are a lot of points that appear to make this relevant: there is choice; there are differences; the Adventurists have sent mass emails about the Mongolia Charity Rally; many of the teams on that rally (at least by looking at their forums) do appear to be ex-Mongol Rally people or those that did not get places on the Mongol Rally; and there is clearly confusion amongst people between the rallies. The statement that has been removed does appear to clarify those points and is therefore of interest and relevance. To clarify otherwise is an analagous to claiming that any reference to pepsi on the Coca-Cola page is spam. I don't see how an event can spam a wikipedia article. The wikipedia page isn't an advert for the Mongol Rally or anything else. Users who think so may have a bias that could negate the NPOV of the article. --Sce1313 (talk) 23:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. The requirement of relevance doesn't replace the requirement of notability, they both must be met. Comparing any of this with Pepsi (a 6 bln USD global corporation) is ridiculous at best. Please show that the competing rallies (assuming the actually happen and are not just organisational straw fires) have significant coverage in mainstream media. Because if they don't, then nobody has heard about them, which means nobody can get confused, resulting in irrelevance on top of non-notability. Note that mailings by one of the organizing teams are self-published first-hand documents, which don't count to establish either notability or relevance. --Latebird (talk) 10:32, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other rallies 

message: Only asking because I've ended up here indirectly because of a youtube video featuring some guys who are going on the rally in a 1.4L car ... their version of it is that the organisers ask that people use vehicles with "small" engines but no size cap is actually mentioned. And I'm pretty sure their model was offered with a 1.2 litre option...
(Not to mention you're unlikely to find a Taxi or an Ambulance with anything that small - most are 2.0L+) 193.63.174.209 (talk) 17:08, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Has the engine size limit been increased again? 1400cc maybe?
