The article www.ashburtononline.co.nz may be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

 * Hi,


 * The page on Ashburton mentions The Guardian Newspaper, The Courier Newspaper, Port FM Local and ZEFM. All I am trying to do is add AshburtonOnline.co.nz to this list of media organizations. Not sure what I'm doing wrong...


 * Firstly, you didn't add it to the list, you incorporated a direct link to the website. You'll note that none of the other organisations you mentioned have a link to their web page next to them. Secondly, yours ashburton online is not the only district website, and I don't see any of the others mentioned there. Thirdly, all of your edits to wikipedia relate to Ashburton Online, which makes it likely that you are affiliated with that organization. Thus, in line with the link above to the external links policy "You should avoid linking to a website that you own, maintain or represent". You'll pardon the suspicion, but hundreds if not thousands of links are added every day by people trying to increase the hits to their website, not improving the encyclopaedic quality of the articles.--Limegreen 02:07, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply.

So...is it Ok if I add the words without any direct links? I do indeed work for AshburtonOnline and we would just like to be represented on the page along with the other media outlets in the area....thats all.

Thanks for your time
