If I had the information about external sources linking to this page, I'd considered contacting these source for update. I mean written the letter here earlier. =)

You do know how the internet works do you? It is possible to scrape logs for referer URLs, but that's a guestimate at best and won't find referals from locations that aren't websites (such as books pointing to an URL for more information, or links from desktop application). Finding contact information for websites is non-trivial as well.
