Given that your username is the same as the web site you are linking to, it was immediately obvious, when you added the link, that it was for promotional purposes. That's why I removed the galvotec link. I did not look at any other links in that article. —C.Fred (talk) 20:53, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are guidelines on external links at WP:EL. That said, links are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. There is no "if one X, then all X" provision in the guidlines; other things (articles, links) exist. —C.Fred (talk) 20:34, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
