Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 16:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the response. Wikipedia policy prohibits the mass posting of links, even content appropriate ones. Most editors will regard your link as unhelpful if it is phrased in an advertorial manner (e.g. "The web's leading..."). Also, while Format Magazine may be a wonderful publication, it is also rather obscure, having an Alexa ranking of 3,173,364 . ˉˉanetode╦╩ 17:10, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Certainly a link to an interview or specific article is appropriate to use as a reference (see WP:REF for the relevant instructions/policies). It is generic linking to promote minor publications that is discouraged. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 17:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
