In this case it means: "Répondez s'il vous plaît", a french phrase that translates to "Respond please." -- Barrylb 11:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Etiquette

The following entry was not contributed by editor who placed it here, nor claimed by him as his contribution. Rather, it was removed by him as inappropriate to the article, presumably for further discussion on this talk page.^{--Jerzy•t 11:50, 12 August 2010 (UTC)}

The person sending the invitation would like you to tell him or her whether you accept or decline the invitation; that is, will you be coming to the event or not? Etiquette rules followed in most Western cultures require that if you receive a formal, written invitation, you should reply promptly, perhaps that same day. For hosts who are planning a dinner party, a wedding, or a reception, this is important from a practical point of view, because they need to know how many people to count on and how much food and drink to buy. More important, though, is the simple courtesy of responding to someone who was nice enough to invite you, even if it is to say that you regret that you will not be able to attend.
The following {{unsigned}} tag is technically accurate, but struck thru as inappropriate due to misleading effect: —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barrylb (talk • contribs) 08:51, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Slight correction

The literal translation "Respond, if it pleases you" confuses the reader, because it might be understood, that the respond intself has the options "to do" or "to do not". The translation "Respond, if you please" (which a saw on miriam-webster) is better in this respect, since the option refers to the invitation -- and still "literal" enough.

Moved from article

Anonymous contributor says: "According to the Wright version, RSVP in English means "Respond So Very Politely". Let's forget about the French way and do it the right way by using the English translation.". Barrylb (talk) 15:49, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

What's the name of the song?

I've added a bullet to the portion of the article listing a song that's featured in a Beavis & Butthead episode, where B&B are watching a video of a hair band singing a cover of a song. In this song are the world "Repondez sil vous plait" along with other lyrics of course, & am unable to find the song & am hoping someone can lead me in the right direction...I've done google searches, etc. & nothing's come up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gogoalie (talk • contribs) 04:36, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

    My first try with google was

"vous plait" beavis

which got me as hit 4

That song has, at the end of the 1st verse, the lyric

Same shit different day I’m like please s'il vous plait
You can lead if you may but then I hear you say

and YouTube has a song of the same title (at least) played against a still of your boys.
    IMO, if that doesn't answer your question you should find a related question with a different answer.
    You bullet entry was removed the next day -- quite correctly, even without my info (which suggests you were confused or misinformed) factored in.
--Jerzy•t 13:04, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

    The next YouTube segment has B&Bh animation to accompany what may be the identical sound track of the song.

RSVP Australia

If it's notable/worthy of a mention, then create an article instead of just putting in the listing on the main RSVP page. --Mikecraig 01:21, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't think there would be enough material for an article. The same argument could be made for every other item on the article which is clearly not appropriate. Since when are we not even allowed to mention a website? I am not putting www.rsvp.com.au on this article with the intention of advertising it. I am putting it as a useful service because if someone hears 'RSVP' mentioned in Australian media it quite often means the website. It would be useful to mention it in this article. -- Barrylb 10:29, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

RSVP Vacations

I'm going to add a definition to the gay vacations/cruise company, RSVP Vacations, as it is both mentioned in the Planet Out article, and it is occationally used casually in pop culture for some time now (e.g. and episode of the television Popular). Kurtto (talk) 18:02, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm so glad this page exists!

I, as a "morbid" radical inclusionist and maximalist (anti-deletionist; anti-minimalist) am very happy to see pages like this. It's like a breath of fresh air, from all those times I've seen the cliche "Wikipedia is NOT a dictionary". To whoever made this, please keep up the good work (carry on!)
Shanoman 22:54, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

    The revision in effect at the time of Shanoman's rant was this one. Wikipedia "grinds slowly, but" (sorry S.) it "grinds exceeding fine."
--Jerzy•t 12:32, 12 August 2010^{Belated self-fix of unsig.}

The page is far from inclusive now, despite all the films and songs cited. When I added the "Risk of Sexual Violence Protocol" on 30th September 2007, the entry was removed within the hour by an avid "deletionist," who argued that, "The page is not about all the meanings." Lacking his taste for edit warring, I left the scene quietly. NRPanikker (talk) 15:46, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
