User talk:DT-TCW

June 2024
 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must follow all these steps: To do this, insert the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.
 * 1) Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
 * 2) Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
 * 3) Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
 * 4) Provide a new username.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is still available.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 19:40, 26 June 2024 (UTC)


 * To be clear, whether or not you are paid specifically to edit Wikipedia as part of your job doesn't matter. Your employment is, by itself, enough to make you a paid editor if you submit any content related to your employer. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:25, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * And I believed I had disclosed this fact. Not trying to be argumentative, just trying to understand.
 * Wikipedia is edited by volunteer contributors. The conflict-of-interest Wikipedia guideline is a "generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow". This guideline strongly discourages COI editing and advises those with a financial conflict of interest, including paid editors, to refrain from direct article editing. The paid-contribution-disclosure policy, which has legal ramifications, requires that editors disclose their "employer, client, and affiliation" with respect to any contribution for which they are paid, including talk-page contributions.

Durham, Kansas
I noticed this edit, but I couldn't find a list of communities that TCW provides service on their website. I did more searching and it appears that tcwfiber.net might actually provide service to Durham. I don't get it, why doesn't a rural internet provider list the communities they provide service on one of their webpages? • Sbmeirow  •  Talk  • 22:05, 26 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I will ask our marketing department about adding the communities we serve to the home page so that it is easily verified.
 * Thank you for mentioning it!
 * I have updated my unblock request with all the info I can provide, as well as a new username that is available. DT-TCW (talk) 17:05, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Also, after reading your profile, I can identify with many of the things you mention from your past.
 * I grew up in Kansas 4-H (Dickinson County) with electrical as one of many projects in the 70's-80's. I was a "Commodore Kid". Went on to become network administrator for Bushnell Sports Optics in Overland Park. Developed multiple corporate web applications utilizing ColdFusion (I was privileged to be a beta tester for Ben Forta of Allaire with their first release).
 * After many years in the IT field, I retured to my rural roots in central Kansas to be the Business Solutions Consultant for a rural telco based out of Council Grove, KS. TCT (Tri County Telephone) which now operates in 9 counties and is building fiber into rural communities that are underserved under our TCW (Formerly TC-Wireless, when we did LTE in some communities).
 * This is more info that you likely would be interested in, but wanted to comment on the similar backgrounds (you were a trailblazer a few years ahead of me), and give context to my request to be unblocked and information allowed on the Durham, KS page edit. DT-TCW (talk) 17:16, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
