May I ask, are you affiliated with Paste Magazine? -- Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 16:23, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your response. I had asked because your contribution history suggested that you might be here primarily to promote a website. I would like to point you to out Conflict of interest guidelines, which ask that you mention your website's links on the Talk pages of articles, so that regular editors of those articles could consider adding them. We usually advise against adding links directly in the way that you are doing. Thanks, -- Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 16:42, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
