[edit] Hi there

Hi, I wanted to tell you about a couple of things.

First, your username seems to violate our username policy as it is clearly promotional. I need to request that you immediately change your username, as promotional usernames are not allowed. You may be blocked if you continue to edit under this name.

Second, regarding your edits to spoodle, that type of information does not belong on a disambiguation page. It seems to be clearly promotional again. Disambiguation pages are not for content, they are for redirecting to other topics. For a disambiguation page, it is sufficient to say that it is a brand name spoon. A link to the company is not appropriate.

If you have any questions, please let me know. - Revolving Bugbear 22:27, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
