Your AfD on the Sakosa tribe
appears to have gone astray. It's only partly on the AfD page, not transcluded for some reason. I don't know how to fix it or I would have. rodii 17:02, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you
To Sommers,

Thank you for taking the time to reply, and I will hope to take the steps that you have outlined to try and get the article back. I understand your position and appreciate the effort taken to clear up the issue and most grateful for the messages welcoming me to Wikipedia, and let me assure you that this experience shall have no bearing on my opinions of you, or any of the rest of the Wikipedia staff.

Yours sincerely, Nathan M Lynch


 * Actually, I'm happy to report that you already have the article back. User:Howcheng has taken care of it and left a message on your own user talk page. Congratulations. –Sommers (Talk) 19:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Deleting Free agent (band) article
I saw your note about speedy deletion of this article (I agree), at User:Mrwonton06, but didn't actually see any tag placed on the article - thought I'd let you know. John Broughton 18:55, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bringing it to my attention. The tag must have gotten lost in the editing shuffle somehow. –Sommers (Talk) 19:01, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Caution
Hi! I agree that the DSM caution is fairly ugly ... however there is a little socio-political history behind its arrival there. Pretty much that verbatim text used to exist in numerous (relatively unrelated) pages, usually relating to pro-/anti-psychiatry edit wars. In some sort of rough consensus, it was managed to agree that perhaps having it only there (and not everywhere else), was a somewhat acceptable compromise. I point this out not because I think that it should be reinstated, but because you may inadvertantly find yourself in the midst of an edit-war. Having said that, I'm not sure that those most in love with the DSM caution have any interest in the DSM page, so they might not notice. Good luck!! Limegreen 19:45, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * D'oh. I thought you'd deleted it... Limegreen 19:47, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * By all means re-write it. You might find [] interesting/useful. Limegreen 21:16, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, that's actually very interesting. Thank you. –Sommers (Talk) 21:25, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Writer Beware Submission
I'm sorry. I guess I just don't understand how to write encyclopedic contributions. I thought they were like articles but obviously I was wrong.

Wrong country
Just wanted to point out on Frederick Hawksworth the term big four refers to the Great Western Railway, London, Midland and Scottish Railway, Southern Railway and the London and North Eastern Railway, not Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway -- you have the wrong country ;) chowells 17:10, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

TS list
I removed the section about "significance" in the TS list. I do hope that the results satisfactorily address the your concerns. I appreciate your feedback, but I note that you action imposes a five-day limit of the article's further existance. That is a compronise on the durability of this information. Why did you go and compromise its durability like that? I will check the talk page of the list on a regular basis, in case you might want to elaborate. Have a most execellent day. -- TulsaGal 12:48, 10 February 2006 (UTC)


 * It is easy to propose a narrow view of how Categories can be used. But I ask you: How shall we organize that major events that are often expressed merely as ATTRIBUTES of other notable arrticles?  Such attributes do not OWN the article, but are, in fact and irrevocably, intrisinc to their Nature.  An individual human being cannot unmake the choices that they have made.  If such choices are notable, then how is it that Wikipeida will organize the view into the stimmulus that may, to a wide variety of those individuals, triggered a specturm of responses? (No need to reply.  Just THINK about that). -- 68.164.245.60 03:37, 11 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I hate to give what will sound like a dogmatic response, but Wikipedia is an encylopedia. It is not a stimulus-organizer. Organizing articles in the way you are suggesting is simply beyond the scope of what Wikipedia is, and would be wildly impractical if it were even possible. If you wish to attempt to catalogue this sort of thing on your own website (or even your own wiki), though, you're quite welcome to. –Sommers (Talk) 13:54, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

I see your point of view, the Terri Schiavo story is over. It is a well-limited story and it is just a matter of documenting the notable responses. I keep trying to remind people that if it did not go to the National Law level, I would not care very much. Only about one third of the people I ask here in Palo Alto, CA even recognize the name anymore because more people think that law is dull. Thank you for updating the Michael Bilirakis article. It is a much better entry now. -- 70.231.192.59 17:30, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks Sommers, Im pretty new at this. What you did with the Ngage Qd is exactly what I wanted to do but went a different way about it, thanks Harvy2004 16:41, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments on the List of Absinthe Retailers. I'm working on getting it to meet all the comments made by you and others. Alanmoss 18:41, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Click it or ticket
Thanks for the edits on the "click here" article. I have rewritten 90 percent of the original, and I feel like I have been shouldering that one for awhile. Thanks again for the second eyes!

DSM
At the precise moment you were writing about the DSM Cautionary Statement, I also added my 2 cents. Please check the comments page. I am not an expert on wiki standards, but if you have any suggestions on incorporating this information in an appropriate manner, I'd love to hear about it. Erik

no problem
I apoligize for the waste of time on "budning". would it be more notable if it had something to do with the subsection "notable establishments" in the article on west montreal namely the budning Pharmacy? user:The_notorious_imp

Movement to End Woman's Suffrage
I dont understand why you persist in trying to get this deleted. I assure you, it is real, and I dont understand why you keep trying to delete it. Mary K. Sponze 01:19, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Well Done
In recognition of your exemplary suggestions, problem-solving, and dedicated work on the DSM cautionary statement discussion page. Cheers. Davemcarlson 09:05, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Deleting MindTree
Hello Sir,

Please re-consider the decision to delete MindTree. MindTree is a reputed IT company. And this is not a spam article. This is just an article describing the company like any other company has in Wiki. Please visit MindTree's site www.mindtree.com to verify the validity of the company.

MindTree Consulting, MindTree and mindtree were made to point to same article because they refer to the same company.

And sorry for removing the AfD tag. I'm a newbie to Wiki and it was my ignorance that lead to such an act. Thanking You, Sonyjose


 * hello, I'm a newbie at Wikipedia too. I happen to be a friend of Sony and when I went to his user page I found that the Mindtree article has been deleted. :-( As a newbie I'm interested in learning as much as I can about Wikipedia, cos it's something I absolutely love. So I looked up why it was deleted.
 * Advertisement that does not assert notability. (Prod removed without explanation.) 
 * ...was what it said here. Then I looked up this essay. Was the article deleted because MindTree is not notable? Or was it deleted because the article would not convince any one about its notability?
 * If it was deleted because MindTree itself is not notable, then you might like to see these

 * These are articles I came up with a Google news search. If, on the other hand, the article was removed because it would not convince anyone of its notability, could you tell me how the article should have been so as to be noteable? What are the criteria that help you decide on notable? Looking forward to your answer, so I can improve on my (little) knowledge of Wikipedia. anirudh 15:54, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: DSM cautionary statement RfC
Oh, hiya, and thanks! Gosh, it's a while since I last commented on RfCs. Looking back at that, I can see why you might have felt in need of a break, yes. Hope it helped. Telsa (talk) 14:16, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
