replies: text: I've had a look, and here is where it's mentioned throughout Wikipedia. I didn't find anything solidly confirming its authenticity but if you follow that link and tick the user namespace, you'll also see that it's used in quite a lot of monobooks, so if it is a hoax, a lot of people have been taken in by it.

I've asked some followup questions at Wikipedia talk:Book sources#Amazon associate number - please comment there, if you have further information or questions. Thanks. -- Quiddity (talk) 20:13, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
