MrOllie ... I just became aware of your TALK feature. This post is in regard to the inclusion/exclusion of SeeLodi.com as both legitimate Media and an External Informational Link. There is no difference between the online version of the Lodi News Sentinel and SeeLodi.com as Media, except SeeLodi's content is contributed by citizen reporters, not paid reporters. SeeLodi.com, in fact, is the only source for all Lodi-community events. In addition, the services provided by the Lodi Chamber & the Lodi Visitors Bureau (both non-governmental entities) in promoting local business is reflected in SeeLodi's efforts to do the very same thing. I would appreciate re-consideration of SeeLodi.com as valid Media & a valid External Link along side the Chamber and Visitors Bureau. Thank you, KColgan (talk) 21:19, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
