Inappropriate external links
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Optical fiber connector. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Srleffler (talk) 05:39, 7 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I see that you are an expert in this field, I admire that. I am a FOA Certified Fiber Optic Technician, does this make me credible enough to edit articles in the field of Fiber Optics? HappyAggie (talk) 07:04, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
 * We don't rely on individual credibility, but rather on reliable sources. It has to be possible to verify everything in the encyclopedia, and in many cases we need a reference to a source. What counts is not the expertise of the editor, but rather the quality of the sources they cite. The website you cited in your edit did not provide any support for the paragraph you edited. It just linked to a company home page, which didn't provide any specific information about alignment sleeves or ceramic ferrules at all. This created the impression that the purpose of your edit was merely to advertise that company. We do not allow advertisements on Wikipedia.--Srleffler (talk) 04:52, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
