Hi Sitush

Thank you for your direction regarding my edits to the Wikipedia Greenwich Cablevision page. I am not well versed in the rules or techniques adopted by regular users here.

I made some edits to the existing page, which were incorrect, and in doing so, added some further salient facts by way of correction. I felt able to do this as my father (MT) was the owner of Greenwich Cablevision and Later Chairman of Greenwich Cable Communications plc, and I myself worked for this company during the 70's and 80's, firstly on staff, and later in an executive role.

My father died in 2001, but I have a wealth of press cuttings and information from his collection. However much of the information I corrected is my family history, much of which will not appear in print.

I originally googled this topic after I had been asked to appear on the BBC One Show to speak about the birth of community television (on which I worked, Greenwich Cablevision was the first after all), I saw on this page a number of inaccurate assumptions and wanted to put any researchers right who might regard wiki as omnipotent and their first port of call on this subject.

I don't believe I have corrected any verifiable contributions, just much of the overview. Do you have any specific concerns regarding my edit that I can look to verify?

Regards
