i dont know if this is how to write back, but the book Moving Up: An Aliyah Journal is a guide to Aliyah in the form of a journal of a first year of Aliyah.


 * Yes, I understand that. But please read WP:EL. We do not normally include web sites that are basically ads for books. If a web site includes extensive content from the book (e.g. several chapters of a history book, enough to be useful as a reference in itself) or (for example) a lengthy author interview, that is sometimes another matter. As far as I can tell, yours does not meet these criteria. Plus, as you will see from WP:EL, linking to your own work is not generally appropriate: the assumption is that if your work is genuinely important, someone else will link to it. And when you come to Wikipedia and all you do is link to your own work it begins to look like linkspam. I've actually removed a link once to work of mine that someone else had added, because I felt I wasn't an authoritative enough writer on the topic in question (localization and internationalization of software) for my slef-published work to be linked from an encyclopedia.


 * By the way, for the future, your comments will be seen sooner if you also leave a note on the user talk page of the person to whom you are replying: that will trigger a banner for them, the same way that this triggers one for you. - Jmabel | Talk 20:33, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
