Speedy deletion of Bresnan Communications
A tag has been placed on Bresnan Communications requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Travis talk  19:50, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi. I just deleted this article because of the copyright issue. We don't mess around with copyright problems.


 * Having said that, I'd really like to see an article on this company in Wikipedia.


 * Articles on companies written by new editors sometimes get deleted too fast as PR ads; we get so many of those that folks around here tend to have itchy trigger fingers. I've set up a "safe space" in your own user space where you can work up a draft unmolested until it's ready to launch:
 * User:Elbfeig/Bresnan Communications


 * I hope this helps -- let me know if I can help you in any way.


 * ... and welcome to Wikipedia!

I am the author of this article,www.bresnan.com, and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later. I am the web adminstrator for the company - you may contact Shawn Beqaj at Bresnan Communications to confirm - sbeqaj@bresnan.com


 * OK -- but any article needs to be more encyclopedic and neutral in tone. What you had before would not work here at all, even without copyright issues. Also, if you work for the company, you're not supposed to edit "live" articles about the company but you can work on it on your subpage for others to evaluate and put in as an actual article. (I can help there if you like.) Here's a list of articles about other cable operators -- you may want to look at some of them for ideas: Category:Cable television companies of the United States.


 * We have something like 200+ guidelines and policies here on Wikipedia. I don't know anyone who read them all. Here's a good place to start:
 * Conflict of interest Guideline
 * Simplified ruleset
 * Also, as you have time, you may want to check out the links in the welcome message Travis left you at the top of the page.


 * I hope this helps. -- A. B. (talk) 20:34, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I will rework it to be more encyclopedic and neutral in tone, then upload again.
