Used reliable sources[edit]

Please note that the information I added is purely factual and I have cited the company's official website. There is no call-to-action language or claims regarding the quality of the services offered. I simply posted the services offered and their dictionary-style definitions, as accepted by the telecommunications industry. Please see other cable company sites, like Time Warner, Comcast,etc. and you will see they contain the same info, minus the flags added to Suddenlink for doing the same. Thank you.

My edits were based on the fact that the references used were of little value to the statements or the article in general. Linking to the root domain of a company as a reference provides little support for a claim being made on any article. References are suppose to be of a 3rd party nature and are typically scrutinized by other editors when they are not. Furthermore, some of the statements, for example: "A DVR allows viewers to pause and resume live TV shows and to record television content for future viewing" Does not require a reference, as it is considered common knowledge and will be supported by the article on DVR's. -- ErnestVoice (User) (Talk) 19:03, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
