Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Just because the site has a review of a game does not mean it should be linked.--Drat (Talk) 14:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- It is best to cite the reviews in the articles, as opposed to merely adding the reviews everywhere. Besides that, it may be viewed as a conflict of interest, as a review of your contributions show them to be solely concerned with adding links to your site. In a few situations, these links have been added to the top of the link section, and sometimes in the references section of an article; see items 3 and 5 here.--Drat (Talk) 01:42, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
