Hello. Am posting to confirm receipt of your two emails. Reposting the full text of my own response:

Hi, your edits were reverted because the only thing they consisted of was adding external links to a single domain to several articles. If the material meets Wikipedia's reliable sources guideline then please incorporate relevant information into the Wikipedia articles themselves, and use that site as a reference. That would be perfectly fine. But mere addition of links is noncompliant with policy and normally gets reverted.

Since sending that you have added another external link to the same domain, while not making any other edit, and sent another email which was rather provocative in tone. The relevant policies are linked from the welcome message above, and the most relevant policy WP:NOTLINKS was already provided in each of my edit summaries. Again, you are welcome to expand the articles and use reliable online sources as references. Durova³⁶⁶ 19:01, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your external link

The website you have been linking to recently appears to be a blog, and because of this it is not permitted as an external link on Wikipedia unless the author of said blog is notable enough in their field to warrant its inclusion. For more information, please have a look at our policy on self-published sources and number 11 of "Links normally to be avoided". Thanks, GARDEN 19:25, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
