Government
thanks for relinking the consulates page for houston. i was worried that it had been erased.
Texas Medical Center
I'm curious why my site continues to be removed and labled as a spam site? I first added my site in July of 2005, and in fact someone actually removed my site from the discription I wrote of it and place d tmc.edu in its place. The goal of my site is to provide health information to the public via articles and forums. I hardly see how that equates to spam. See for yourself http://www.houstonmedcenter.com

- I did. You are using the Houston and Texas Medical Center articles as a means to promote your site, which is primarily ads and links to other services that are part of Google's AdWords system. Please review Wikipedia:External links for more information. Postoak 20:33, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
Houston, Texas
Please come to the talk page of the Houston, Texas article. There is an ongoing discussion as a user is challenging the neutrality of the article. Thanks! RJN 00:40, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
RE:Houston pic
Which would you prefer to be the picture for the lead section? The third picture has been on the Houston page since early 2005—I got tired of seeing it. I changed to the middle picture because of its angle and quality. I'll be glad to change it if you think the first or third one would be better. You can reply on here as I will be watching your talk page. —RJN 23:31, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
I think the third picture looks the best, but the first also looks good. Since you would like a change, how about the first picture? Thanks, and keep up the great work on the Houston article. Postoak 08:36, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Template:Good article
Template:Good article has been listed for deletion and has defaced the Houston page article of it. Please vote to keep this template at Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2006_March_25#Template:Good_article. The {{good article}} template places a small Good Article symbol (
) in the top right corner of an article to indicate that it is a good article on Wikipedia. —RJN 10:49, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
VandalProof Registration
Thank you for your interest in VandalProof; however, I'm afraid I can't approve you to use it. You only have 156 mainspace edits (188 in all namespaces), which I'm afraid is far below the necessary limit (250 in main). Please continue to contribute to Wikipedia, revert vandalism, and gain experience and knowledge about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines; then you may gladly resubmit your name (probably 2 weeks or more). Please understand that VP could be quite harmful if its users lack sufficient knowledge about how Wikipedia works, especially as it is currently in an early development phase and may contain bugs to which editors will need to respond adequately. Anyway, if you're still interest, please apply again in a couple of weeks, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks. AmiDaniel (Talk) 07:13, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
West Houston Link
I knew it might be an uphill battle placing the link on here. Thank you for your consideration anyways.

PostOak,
I've been a long time lurker on wikipedia and know that you contribute a lot of your time to the Houston page. Thank you for that. I wanted to discuss my link to www.west-houston.com/map.aspx which would be nearly impossible to put on the Houston wiki page. It has in my opinion both unique content, and a good basis of reasoning for it to belong.
There are no other databases for Houston new construction like the one I have compiled. It is a great tool for people to use that are looking for reliable information on new construction communities. Not only can you compare these communities by price range, but for each individual community of West Houston you can look at pictures, obtain directions, and search for resale homes in these communities. I do not require any type of registration or log-in to access any of this information. Nor do I have any reason to ever be biased towards and particular community as I have included all the home sites that I have visited. I am also linking to the applicable page rather than my general home page.
Please visit my site, and take this into consideration. I believe that the link is a rare exception because of it's direct relation and is rich in content. Many links such as the sports, colleges, and private schools could be held as being commercial businesses to a degree as well.
I hope we can come to an agreement or alternate solution on this issue.
Regards
Joshua Manuel

I had a similiar conversation with RJN, so please excuse my copy and paste for what I wrote to him.
RE: Houston, healthcare section
Reads:
It is where one of the first, and still the largest, air emergency service was created—a very successful inter-institutional transplant program was developed—and more heart surgeries are performed than anywhere else in the world.
Should we replace the dashes with commas? Does this look right to you? Thanks Postoak 23:27, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
- It looks right to me. If you can come up with something better and less confusing, then of course change it. Anyway, User:Daniel2986 has the same user page as yours—well almost the same. There is another discussion on Talk:Houston, Texas. —RJN 08:10, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- Looks like this person utilized my user page to practice his/her cut & paste technique. :) Postoak 21:30, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Texas Medical Center

Houston, Texas
I have been editing the Houston article since May of 2005—I was under a different username then—and it has come a long way. Take a look here to see what the article was like one year ago today on June 11th. I took your advice and shortened some of the history, geography, and education sections. In addition, I dissolved the trivia section. The article was 74 kilobytes and is now 71 kilobytes—not much of a difference. Also, there are three new images in the history section. —RJN 07:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
FA Schedule?
Regarding User_talk:XxTrillvillexX9, is there a schedule for the peer review of Houstonor will the article undergo the peer review whenever the contributors decide it's ready? I've done a little bit in the climate section but also intend to work on the history section. Thanks. Ufwuct 23:21, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
