I am not interested in spamming. I do feel it is important for educational purposes that perhaps the most common term among youngsters for Mimosa pudica the TickleMe Plant be accessible in Wikipedia when it is searched. Thank you for giving this matter your consideration. ♦♦♦Legume♦♦♦ (talk) 08:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mimosa pudica again

Hi there. In response to diff, let's discuss.

The old discussion, in contrary to your claim, did not come to a consensus. Let's review. Of the participants, you and one other (User:KiTA) favored inclusion of the name, 4 (User:Melburnian, User:Hesperian, User:Djlayton4, and myself) seemed to favor exclusion of the name until a reliable source is found. One other (User:Kingdon) waffled on the idea of the name. That is clearly no consensus. And further, Melburnian's charge that the source you included wasn't appropriate went unanswered. I agree with him; we need a more reliable reference before we include this trademark name.

Further, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that all of your edits involve this article or other articles that mention this plant and most have been attempts to include this trademark name. Perhaps you're just really into this plant, but I must mention that single-purpose accounts are often suspicious and you could easily be viewed as having a motive (the easiest to think of is that you're somehow associated with the company that sells these plants under that name). It might be a good idea to broaden your edits.

And since we've been engaged in a bit of a dispute, I should mention the three revert rule. Make sure you read that page. Since the issue is still unresolved from the no consensus discussion earlier, I would ask that you please revert your last edit and remove the information until consensus is reached. Just because the issue has been in hibernation for some time doesn't mean that it is not contested. Cheers, Rkitko ^(talk) 03:32, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. So sorry it's taken me a while to respond. I've been a bit busy with work. Anyway, I decided to reply to you at Talk:Mimosa pudica, let's keep the conversation there. Cheers, Rkitko ^(talk) 23:18, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ticklish plant

Thank you so very much for putting this up on 3O. I had searched for it under "Ticklish plant" long ago, and not found it. I am sorry I cannot at the moment support adding the TM name to the article. I don't think an RfC is going to generate more support for inclusion, but that is another option. Thank you again!- Sinneed 04:17, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can put a watch on the redirect page, so you can see if it is changed:

go to the redirect... it will send you to the destination page
BUT at the top it will say "redirected from xxxx". Click that link
Click that "watch page" tab

You can also just click your "my watchlist" link and edit the watchlist directly... adding the redirect you created.

Hope that helps.- Sinneed 23:34, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
