 * Dear Mr. Mitchell,
 * pLease tell me precisely what I have done wrong so that it can be corrected.
 * Our website has been a significant reference site for historic arms for twenty five years, and has oft been quoted on Wiki. It is totally non-commercial, has no advertising, and seeks to do no more than provide material for researchers - much as your goodselves.
 * Adding an external link to a creditable source of further information can hardly be viewed as spamming. Is this really what has resulted in our being blocked after all these years?
 * Yours sincerely,
 * Terence Smith,

 * On seeing your explanation, it seems your intent was not nefarious. Nonetheless, your behaviour is similar to many commercial spammers in that you appear to be trying to drive traffic to your website and it seems that your only purpose in editing Wikipedia is to add links to one domain, which we don't allow.
