how to keep it there? it now said do not remove yourself, I did that anyway as somehow someone is taking away the well-known facts of male happiness and beer away from encyclopedia, cannot understand such.

it is no nonsense.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Yeah, it is.

Buh-bye now.

Your article compares itself as a variant of the big mac index. The big mac index page cites references, has sufficient detail and reads like an encyclopedic article should. (ref:

Your article, on the other hand, reads like a chain letter (and honestly, is describing the same concept as the big mac index, just with a different, possibly incomparable product...which is probably not that useful)

Good. I hope it stays gone. Too bad you insist on keeping it there.

Because it's (1) poorly written, (2) nonsense, and (3) you're an idiot.

Because it isn't. It's crap. Quit whining and go get whacked with a clue-by-four.

page moved to uncyclopedia, please add your effort there if you're interested, to prevent it from disappearing again:

Moves to uncyclopedia. Please everyone interested add your effort in

How can anyone be so serious? What kind of a pole did you attach into your bottom?

Poor baby. Do go play in traffic, won't you?

Scientifical? Is this a word?

You, essentially, posted some silly shit on wiki and are upset that the powers that be don't feel it's worthy of posting (which is pretty sad considering other things listed there).

Move on.

You've really answered your own question with the above sentence. The problem is exactly that it's nothing more than a concept. You wrote an article describing something you think would be interesting, even though no such index really exists. I think it's intriguing, but what you should really do would be along the lines of collecting data on beer consumption per capita, beer prices adjusted to some normal baseline [possibly exchange rates] and then compare that data to the Mac Index to see if there is a correlation that can be established. Then you should publish that information via some peer review formula or your own personal website, a blog, or some such. THEN, you need to maintain (update) the beer index over time. If it gains enough credibility, a Wikipedia article would most likely be written referencing a multitude of sources establishing the Beer Index as a viable measure of happiness.

Yes - I realize I'm wasting my bits here, but I do think it's an interesting concept. Just not appropriate for a Wikipedia entry at this point.

But a Big Mac is a product with very little variation around the world, as it is the brand of a single company with global presence, and that company attempts to maintain consistent standards across the enterprise. A Big Mac in London or Moscow shouldn't be appreciably different than a Big Mac in Washington, DC, or Des Moines, Iowa.

This is clearly not the case with beer, as variety and quality - and price - varies widely all over the world. It doesn't make sense to compare, say, Westvleteren 12 in Belgium with Brahma Chopp in Brazil.

Feh. It's Usenet.
