Spam
Welcome to Wikipedia. At WP spam is as much about the action as the content of the addition. Certain editors set up their accounts to only add hundreds of external links to one organisation. You have added many to Eden TV, a commercial TV channel. Although I am assuming good faith, this may be taken to be promoting of the organisation. Often the action comes more from enthusiasm rather than intentional advertising but Wikipedia aims first and foremost to be an encyclopaedia not a collection of links. As I'm sure you can imagine, WP articles are a constant target for companies, authors, musicians and everyone else trying to promote their content. The question comes up often and can be tricky, especially with bodies like libraries who want to put links on a thousand pages. For further detail you may want to discuss the issue with the WP Spam Project. I hope this helps to explain the reverts. Thanks 24 April 2013‎ User:Spanglej


 * All the Eden TV links are just as much spam now as they were a month ago. Span (talk) 12:47, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
