 * A few months ago (11 Nov), I made an account and brought up a discussion point about World War II, regarding the cultural significance of a new novel (Jeff Shaara's The Rising Tide). I consider it a personal attack that you are responsible for a warning on my first action as a user, citing some advertisement rule that has no bearing on my post.  I notice that you do this to other first-timers as well.  If you have a problem, we can talk.  Otherwise, quit it. --Ironchefnorse 08:10, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

From Talk page: "Article talk pages are provided for discussion of the content of articles and the views of reliable published sources.". Promoting a fictional novel about World War II in no way helps editors with the goal of improving the World War II article, so as a Administrator, I was politely asking you to refrain from such behavior in future using a stock standard template warning (i.e. Template:Uw-spam1). Please remember that Wikipedia first and foremost is an encyclopedia and not a soapbox. Thank you. --  Netsnipe  ►  12:48, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
