Great Barrier Island
Hello. I have removed your commercial link again. Please do not be upset by this, but it has for good reason been removed by various people before, including a Wikipedia administrator (not me). Similar links have been removed many times from Waiheke and other articles.... Commercial links are strongly discouraged on Wikipedia, as every company would otherwise scatter advertisements on the articles. The other link is one to an official tourism organisation, and so exempt from this requirement (unless you can give good reasons why it too, should go). Cheers MadMaxDog 00:21, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

I have deleted this article, as it appeared to be a direct copy of http://www.thebarrier.co.nz/northbarrier.htm, which clearly states that it is copyrighted material. If you own this site, the simplest method of making the material available is to change the copyright notice there to say that the material is licensed under the GFDL. However, the tone of the material is still not right for Wikipedia, so much would need to be rewritten before we could use it.- gadfium 02:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
