Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Barbara Bodine, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license.

Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

Speedy deletion nomination of National Cable Television Cooperative

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on National Cable Television Cooperative, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hello, I'm Sumanuil. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Matt Levine (columnist) have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 02:11, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How can a PHOTO be unconstructive when the page has NO PHOTO??? If you're going to remove it, UPDATE WITH ANOTHER PHOTO. You're literally making a page worse off for no reason. Long2181998 (talk) 17:32, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Warring on the McMaster-Carr Page

Hello, you appear to be engaged in Edit Warring on the McMaster-Carr Wikipedia page. You've reverted good-faith edits by three separate users in an attempt to preserve an improperly-sourced addition to the article. As mentioned previously, citing Glassdoor user reviews is an example of WP:USERGENERATED and falls short of Wikipedia's standards for reliability. Your latest revert also accuses good-faith editors of being paid off by McMaster Carr's HR department, which is an example of a personal attack, something we strive to avoid here. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. If someone has an axe to grind with a company for their employment practices, this is not the platform to use. We are an encyclopedia concerned with collecting high-value verifiable information. If you can find high-quality sources that meet Wikipedia's standards and detail McMaster's workplace culture, I would be more than happy to include them in the article. Until then, please refrain from reverting the page again. Thank you. -0x004d (talk) 06:18, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Many Wikipedia pages self-referred to other wikis/Wikipedia as long as it’s reliable. Nice try McMaster’s PR/HR. Long2181998 (talk) 11:01, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am not a representative of McMaster-Carr and I doubt that the other editors on that page are either. I implore you to assume that other users are acting in good faith. I personally have no doubt that McMaster does have a toxic and frictional workplace culture, but a source that meets your personal standard of evidence does not necessarily meet the standards of this encyclopedia. "Other articles also have bad sources" is not a valid defense. If you can concede that the editors who reverted your contributions probably have the best interests of this website in mind, it'll make it a generally better place for everyone. If you have a neutral standpoint, there's lots of other constructive edits you could make to the page. If you have some personal biases that would affect neutrality, I encourage you to avoid this page and contribute elsewhere. 0x004d (talk) 14:47, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. This page, as well as McMaster-Carr's Glassdoor page, has been violated by PR firms in the past so I will be keeping an eye on it. Long2181998 (talk) 17:17, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's totally fine. Thanks for your understanding, I appreciate it. 0x004d (talk) 03:46, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
