Talk about information vomit.
QUOTE Comcast will not broadcast the Tampa Bay Rays baseball games on the Sun Sports network in SE Florida. They do broadcast the games in the SW Florida area, also in Tallahassee and Jacksonville. I thought this was an "encyclopedia", and thus the aim is to convey the important accumulated knowledge about the subject. I suppose I'm not allowed to edit the Comcast article in Wikipedia, right? |

When Angela Beesley created the Wikipedia article about Comcast in 2003, the Comcast website timeline stated:
QUOTE 1969 * Company renamed Comcast Corporation from American Cable Systems and incorporated in Pennsylvania. Angela the worker bee chewed this up and spit it back out in GFDL form, as follows: QUOTE The company was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1969, under the name Comcast Corporation from American Cable Systems. This botched interpretation has held steady in the article about Comcast for more than six years, and it has been repeated all over the web, at least 53 times. Tonight, I broke the Conflict of Interest rule and fixed the error, mainly because the previous editor Jerzy's indignant edit summary ("It unquestionably *is* a shortening of the previous name of the same thing; they can *explain* their intention in not dumping the name as they please") got under my skin. Wikipedia will never be a reputable reference resource for business matters, until they welcome businesses to assist with article development and maintenance. |
