Thanks for updating the various references sections with your book. If you put something, anything, on your User Page then your name will appear in blue rather than red after your edits, which is considered (opinion) a good thing (details upon request).

Please review the guideline on conflict of interest
Hi. I see you've added a book of which your username suggests you're the author to the references in several articles. I'd like to draw your attention to Wikipedia's conflict-of-interest guideline and ask that you familiarize yourself with it. While I have no wish to doubt the general excellence of your book or its relevance to the articles in question, it would be preferable for an uninvolved third party to independently verify and add these citations. Appearances of conflict of interest are potentially damaging to the credibility of the encyclopedia. Also, the fact that these additions are the only edits you have made to Wikipedia gives the appearance that you may be using Wikipedia for self-promotion, which would conflict with the spam guideline and possibly also violate policy. Because of all the above and because a Google search returns only Wikipedia results when searching for your book, I have reverted your edits. Thanks for understanding.
