Hi Ginko,

Thank you very much for the welcome. I understand that Overstock.com Auctions, the page I have just edited, was up for deletion. I am now seeing that it is being considered to merge with Overstock.com. And while they are both more or less the same company, I would urge you to reconsider the merge. There are several reasons I would like to share with you regarding this:


 * Overstock.com and Overstock.com Auctions have different customer service representatives.
 * They are two separate websites, even though you can get to Overstock.com Auctions page from the Overstock.com site
 * You have to have different log ins for each site

 * Hello! As with all Articles for Deletion, there was a debate here about Overstock.com Auctions which has since been closed. I have no say in the matter, as I am just another user (equal to you). In fact, on Wikipedia controversial decisions are reached by debate and consensus, so even an administrator would not be able to change the decision. The first link above might give you some pointers if you think the debate should be re-opened. I have never sought to have a debate re-opened, so I don't know what the process is. The article was merged into Overstock.com and changed to a redirect by an administrator, User:FreplySpang, following the consensus that was reached.


 * I hope you are not discouraged by this outcome. It happens a lot on Wikipedia -- that's the way the site works. I myself have had problems like this with articles I have put a lot of effort into, only to see the effort apparently gone to waste. Everyone has. Please don't let it stop you from editing and participating in our community! If you want some words of encouragement, visit Esperanza. We are happy to help. --Ginkgo100 talk · contribs 00:12, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
