Similan Islands
I nominated this article for speedy deletion because it seems to be a copyright violation of material found at: http://www.divetheworldthailand.com/thailand-scuba-diving-dive-sites-similan-islands.htm

In general it's a bad idea to create an article by copying and pasting material from another website.

Please feel free to create an article about these islands that is not a copyright violation.

Please do not remove the nomination for speedy, this is considered vandalism.

If you wish to contest this, please place the template on the page, and explain how you intend to change the article to comply with Wikipedia's guidelines about copyrights.

Mergui Archipelago
I see from the above that you are known for this kind of thing. I have just removed your plagiarism from the Mergui Archipelago article. It is not helpful to steal text from other websites, especially that one. It read like a travel brochure. Anyway, if you can put the information more encyclopaedically, and credit the source, that would be much better. Kelisi 01:59, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
