The reason I voted no on a lot of the edits was that I thought it
might be impossible for the server to automatically extract the
correct ASIN and store from these URLs. I only edit with the intention
of having correct, valuable information that doesn't need to be
cleaned up at some point in the future.

I don't think VxJasonxV and I deserve to be described as
'unacceptable', 'on a voting crusade' and 'dictatorial'. That being
off my chest: happy editing and voting :)
