The n.o.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The n.o., and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.theno.org.nz. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 09:25, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The n.o.

A tag has been placed on The n.o. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page The Nikolai Organisation has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3047611&id=743603326, http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3047614&id=743603326, http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=9396090&op=10&o=global&view=global&subj=743603326&id=820895300 (matching the regex rule \bfacebook\.com). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 18:42, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

• Also most of your links to theno.org.nz such as this are useless - for me they all redirect to splash.htm. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:37, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Nikolai Organisation

A tag has been placed on The Nikolai Organisation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

• The main problem with the article is that it is written in too much of an "in universe" style. We do not want the crap about Protocol 55. The "letter to the Editor" is pure kayfabe and simply does not belong here. See if you can write a proper, short, neutral, arms-length article. Place it in User:Nixxxi/sandbox and raise the matter at deletion review. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:18, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
• On reflection, I don't know why I am bothering. The NO is so childish that even its home page redirects to the splash page! — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:24, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate that Wikipedia have been very quick to delete pages, but am disappointed that the same speed doesn't apply when reinstating or at least reviewing for reinstatement. While I understand that the fact that admin cannot access the website that demonstrates the notability of the topic I am posting, this is my first contribution and I would appreciate a little help here.

Also sorry for deleting talk in the past, I am a tidy girl, was just trying to be tidy Nixxxi (talk) 12:05, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

DRV

Hi, I appreciate that you are trying hard to get your first article to stick and I really want to encourage you but I don't want to lie to you. Even if the article is allowed to be reinstated it will probably be nominated for deletion and I doubt that it would pass. My unsolicited advice to you is to withdraw the request and spend some time making smaller edits and getting comfortable with the policies. I also recommend taking the time to look at this tutorial. I hope that you decide to continue editing here but try not to get your hopes up about The Nikolai Organisation. If you have any questions or if I can help you with anything please drop me a line on my talk page. J04n(talk page)

Hi Jo4n, While I hope that this is not the case, already I have poured a great number of hours into this one and it is a topic that I know very well, given that for the past 3 years I have been associated with it. If it is reinstated and then nominated for deletion, I will cross that bridge when I come to it, as I am attempting to cross this one now. There is quite a bit of interest from the media in relation to the trip to Samoa, given that 9 people, with no ties to the country went to help out, so when that time comes, there will hopefully be more resources to debate notability. I do intend upon adding these as they become available. Thanks for your encouragement and taking the time to speak to me directlyNixxxi (talk) 17:20, 28 January 2010 (UTC) 05:07, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

• There are two things you need to do before I will consider voting "re-instate" at DRV: a) show me the evidence that the splash screen is required by NZ drinks legislation and is not just more kayfabe - how come I can access this drinks website without a splash screen, b) clothe those naked URLs in the way that I have done with the first two external links. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:48, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
  • a) I am sorry, but I cannot find the specific legislation, so it might be best practice... however, that is the only website I can find in New Zealand that doesn't ask you to verify, others that do are: 42 Below Jim Beam Pernod Ricard Wine Liquor King Midori Lion Red Beer [1] Steinlager Beer and a US example for good measure Smirnoff Vodka I must therefore conclude that this is due to best practice and industry self regulation, as opposed to legislation - however, I did find this National Drug Policy New Zealand Steering Group Report 2007, in 6.4 which details the Advertising Standards Authority and refers to the fact that Alcohol Advertising, which includes websites, must not inappropriately target children. I suspect that Duty Free does not have an age verification process as it is not considered advertising.
  • b) Done
