Wondering why S.K removed the links to the User Groups for this Page, and said they were Spam/Low Content links? The Communities you removed are the backbone of the professionals that work in the industry. How is that Spam/Low Content? Please explain?

I had added a link to my own wiki and it was removed. Not sure why - sure, it's relatively low content so far, but without links, there won't be contributions either.

[edit] Incorrect Picture Cited

Sfrappier 20:17, 26 March 2007 (UTC): I have noticed that the picture shown for Dynamics NAV is a Business Analytics package, which does not fairly represent the Dynamics NAV client. Business Analytics is a seperate executable that accesses the Dynamics NAV data. The Dynamics NAV client looks different, and I would be willing to upload an image that is more accurate.

How do I do this, as I have been looking for ways to update the image, but I am new to modifying posts on Wikipedia and do not want to cause any issues.

Thanks!beep

[edit] Merger proposal

I propose merger of all 4 Dynamics product pages into 1 article.

• Microsoft Dynamics SL,
• Microsoft Dynamics GP,
• Microsoft Dynamics AX,
• Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Since all the 4 products are part of the Dynamics and the individual articles are not elaborate enough, it makes more sense to have one page for Microsoft Dynamics with 4 sections for all the 4 products. Dhshah (talk) 09:18, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

That makes no logical sense. These are four completely different products. Last year Microsoft made it clear that they will remain individual products, and that there is no intention to "merge" them into one product, thus they would be no commonality what so ever, and no logic to a combined article.

In simple terms, if you have an article about Dynamics, then is should discuss the business unit of Microsoft, not the products. David Singleton (talk) 02:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

These products are completely different and even not compatible with each other, so in any case there should be separate articles on them, elaborate or not. In fact, the word "Dynamics" is the only thing they have in common. --IPonomarev (talk) 09:59, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Merging these articles make no more sense than merging articles about London and Liverpool, since they are articles about similar things (cities) from the same country. While on an overall level the 4 products share the relation to ERP, they are very different products, with different functionality, technology, history and targeting different markets. Mukke (talk) 13:17, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Merging these fundamentally distinct product articles into one just beacuse they now share some common branding makes no sense - might as well merge it all with Office, excel, access, word and flight simulator as they all appear under the "Microsoft" brand212.50.186.227 (talk) 16:47, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

It appears Microsoft is combining more and more products under the Dynamics product line. I suggest a main Dynamics section where users can get a brief summary of each product: GP, SL, AX, NAV, CRM, FRx, etc. and subsites that detail out each product under the Dynamics wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrdcahill (talk • contribs) 19:16, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

The Dynamics products of AX, NAV, GP, SOL, and CRM are distinct and need separate pages. A Dynamics Suite topic could be created to join them together but there is enough scope in each one to warrant a separate page. Chrisgarty (talk) 18:39, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Just to expand on my earlier comment above. Basically the issue here is more the differentiation between the MBS (Microsoft Business Solution) business unit, and the individual Dynamics products. Much as you could consider Office as a part of The Business Productivity Division, Dynamics is a part of the Business Management Division. There is a definite need for an article discussing Microsoft Dynamics, much as there is an article discussing Microsoft office that article should discuss the business side of Dynamics, its customers, its long term goals etc. But the products are something different, much as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint have their own articles. David Singleton (talk) 13:45, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Can some one please make a decision on this. I would like to contribute to this article, but we need to know if it will be killed or not. I am not going to spend time working on a Dynamics NAV article that is just going to be deleted.
