Talk:Zen Internet/Archive 1

Image etc
I removed an image of the company logo which was a duplicate. Logos should only be used to identify a company which had already been done, WP has strict rules on advertising. I know this survived AfD but thats extra reason to be careful. Also, IMO from a style point of view a short history and a long list of niche awards doesnt make a compelling article.

I've added some network and technology information which might help this, I've provided links to the hibernia press-release to cite sources. Dnel 15:52, 4 April 2006 (UTC)


 * The article would benefit from a link to a feature / article in a major media source which presents the company as significant. I wikified the links section, including removing links to the support site and a blog which do not offer anything encyclopedic. Again, gotta be real careful re: possible advertising.

GCHQ contractor & NSA affiliate?
"Zen Internet (British GCHQ contractor affiliated with NSA IXP [IP Packet Tracking/Analysis] tracking projects) 217.155.32.0 - 217.155.47.255 Moss Bridge Road Rochdale Lancashire OL16 5EA England
 * ns1.zen.co.uk [212.23.3.1]
 * ns0.zen.co.uk [212.23.8.1]"

NSA contractor?
Just to clarify, ns0 and ns1 have nothing to do with the NSA or GCHQ.... they seem to act as name servers, and are in fact.... name servers.

I work for Zen, and I have never seen any suits (it's a mostly jeans and t-shirt's affair).... but just in case, I do keep a tinfoil hat in my desk draw! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.23.9.72 (talk) 17:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Links to feature/ articles etc
As mentioned before:


 * The article would benefit from a link to a feature / article in a major media source which presents the company as significant. 20:35, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Would any of these be of use?

Improvement to article
I've added some of the references to this company I previously identified (see above) as well as other relevant info in an effort to improve its quality. I've removed the "This article or section is written like an advertisement" template as after review of other ISP articles I found more relevant info on the Zen page. If anyone could highlight areas which they consider advertisements maybe we should remove those? (Maybe the 'Products' section?) Again, not sure of the exact procedure for removing/adding the "Advert" template but if i've done this wrong or prematurely then accept my apologies. I hope my additions have helped, not hindered.
