The first day I added a link to a thermocouple information page and that page did contain links to commercial material. You removed it and I understand why. The second day I added a link to a purely technical page on thermocouple reference junction principles.


 * Thermocouple Reference Junction Principles from Omega®

I was not adding either link for any ranking benefit or commercial gain. I was simply trying to add to the user's understanding of thermocouples. I hope you took the time to see the difference. This is supposed to be an open medium for shared knowledge but my first impression has been to a closed minded attitude. Other external links on the thermocouple page are from manufacturer's and if you removed my external link why not remove theirs too?

I added another external link to another page (not yours) and that person had enough insight to see the benefit.


 * All links you added were to omega.com, which is a giveaway that you are affiliated with that site. You may not add links to web sites that you're affiliated with, even if they would otherwise be allowed per the guidelines on WP:EL, period. Mention the site on the talk page of the article and let someone else decide whether to add it or not. However, the Wikipedia community would be much happier if knowledgeable people such as you likely are added actual content to or correct mistakes in the articles themselves.
