That's a Times Select article -- you have to subscribe to Times Select to read it.

" elif q: print "

Here's the archive link for that article:

" print '

'+q+'

' print '

<a href="'+q.replace('&', '&') + '">

' else: print "

Sorry, I couldn't find a link for that article.

It has to be a proper NYT URL. It should look like this: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/02/19/politics/19RESE.html
The URL can't be too old. (This service only goes back to June 2003.)
The URL can't be too new. It can take up to an hour for new URLs to be added to this site.
Maybe it's a special URL. Some pages are special and aren't included in this program. (For example, op-eds under TimesSelect won't work.)

If even that doesn't work, or you have some other comment, let us know.

Finally, try adding /partner/rssnyt onto the end, as in:

"+oq+"/partner/rssnyt
