Self-Published books are not a citable reference on Wikipedia
Regarding your recent edit on Hinduism, you should be aware that self-published books, blogs, and websites are not considered a valid reference on this encyclopedia.

"Self-published sources (online and paper)

Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published books, personal websites, and blogs are largely not acceptable as sources." From:

Restrictions on Linking
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks.

For policy or technical reasons, editors are restricted from linking to the following, without exception:

1. A website that you own, maintain or are acting as an agent for; even if the guidelines otherwise imply that it should be linked to. This is in line with the conflict of interests guidelines. If it is a relevant and informative link that should otherwise be included, mention it on the talk page and let neutral and independent Wikipedia editors decide whether to add it.

Please do not link to your website, and articles and books written by you on your website. This is a violation of Wikipedia policy. See WP:EL. &#2384; Priyanath 05:05, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
