Hello, I'm Reify-tech. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Thermoplastic-sheathed cable because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Romex
Please keep your edit encyclopedic. "Romex" is commonly used. Using ''It is incorrect to use "Romex" to refer to NM cable generically, as the Romex name is a trademarked brand of the Southwire Company. (ref) Barker, Bruce. "Old Wiring Methods". The ASHI Reporter (The American Society of Home Inspectors). Retrieved 2014-06-09."(/ref)'' This is too promotional. I redid the sentence, sending Romex to its article and non-metallic sheathed (NM) cable to electrical wiring#Modern wiring materials. Jim1138 (talk) 23:11, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
