So sorry! I didn't know this was not ok -- I saw other manufacturers posting the same information about their companies and figured that providing a link was acceptable. I won't post any more links. -ATAGOusa

Thanks:) It's against Wiki policy to advertise in an article, or to add links that purely promote some external entity (reference material good, spam bad). So if you see other companies doing it, feel free to undo it. Or if you don't feel comfortable doing so or it becomes an edit/unedit/reedit war, feel free to ask for help despamming.

It'd be great to have more scientific info added to the articles, especially by folks who actually know about and use the techniques. WP:EL teaches that in general, it's better to include actual written information (and cite an external resource as its source) than to include "more info at this external website" links.

Well, I added a link to our new "Bits of Knowledge" section, which explains the principles of analog and digital refractometers. Our products are mentioned, but it actually does not link back to the main website. I've deleted a couple other manufacturers who are linking right to their products, and don't really have a section dedicated to the principles/mechanics/applications (otherwise, I would have linked to that page on their site). - ATAGOusa
