Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9
Re-nomination of an article I wrote some time ago. It's going through peer review and has been reworked quite a bit as such. - Lucky 6.9 23:10, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * object. lead section much too long in proportion to the rest of the article. Fixed. --Jiang 23:30, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that looked funny to me as well. I've added a chapter heading to separate the opening.  Looks much better, IMHO. - Lucky 6.9 01:23, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Support. I think I remember it's previous nomination - the article looks familiar. Anyways, very interesting. Always, no matter the topic, I like when a Wikipedia (or any other encyclopaedia) article is interesting. Zoney 13:16, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Support. Well-written. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 14:23, 2004 Aug 11 (UTC)
 * Support. Actually I thought it already passed the last time! Securiger 16:07, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Object - photo does not have license information. --mav 06:38, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * I had mistakenly posted a couple of other photos that were not useable. Angela removed those but kept the factory photo as fair use.  It was from one of the discussion groups listed at the bottom of the article. - Lucky 6.9 18:33, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * I just discovered while adding a taxonomical spec list that the photo also links to Sedan (car). - Lucky 6.9 07:36, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Lots more taxonomic details added and other details as well. I'd have to add the recommended tire pressures to get it any more detailed. :^) - Lucky 6.9 18:49, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Object slightly. Good stuff, but one troubling sentence is "Today, a 6.9 is a rare and highly collectible yet reasonably priced automobile". Making such a seeminly contradictory statement begs for elaboration.  What are prices for them today?  If they fetch high prices then what makes them reasonably priced? - Taxman 22:38, Aug 19, 2004 (UTC)
 * Glad you pointed that out. Now that you've mentioned it, there's a missing line from a previous edit stating that ultra-cherry 6.9s go for about $20,000 in the States, but the market is on its face.  A super-nice 6.9 might fetch nearly half that right now.  I'll make a tweak to that.  Thanks for pointing that out. - Lucky 6.9 01:44, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Fixed the section in question. - Lucky 6.9 01:53, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * I like the clarifications. I do think though that while the specifications are very valuable information, that they don't fit that well into the article, and the table looks a little awkward there.  Moving it into a separate article referenced here would be perfect I think.  With that I fully support.  Good, detailed article on a unique car. - Taxman 14:28, Aug 20, 2004 (UTC)
