I don't understand - we are not spamming. I have been linked a legitimate full text interview with Gabriell Roth. Please tell me how this is spam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ascent magazine (talk • contribs)

I will leave you a welcome message shortly with wikipedias policies and guidelines.  May I draw your special attention to: WP:EL, WP:NOT, WP:SPAM and WP:COI, thank you.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 21:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your help. ascent magazine is a not for profit journal and over the years we have had interviews with a handful of people with Wikipedia listings. Our interviews available online used to be only exerpts - but in trying to keep with the wikipedia philosophy of not selling -  I went through and made them all full text. Our intention was never to be a source of spam - but only to offer these valuble bits of information to your users. In the future we will try to make sure we are following your guidelines. --70.48.128.73 15:42, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
