Hello, you can find some general guidelines at the above links. I also have been working on some wikipedia computer networking articles since they are surprisingly bad shape. There is a Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer networking and Wikipedia:WikiProject Telecommunications for example, although they tend to not have much traffic. There are periodic bursts of activity then it seems to die down and articles tend to become out of date.

One thing I have been working on is making more of the information cite reliable sources as the newer guidelines prefer. In particular, you made a recent change to Broadband mapping in the United States. You changed the $100m figure to $293m and added a paragraph (that duplicated some of the previous ones), without giving citations. The external links added do seem relevant; thanks much for them. But generally we need <ref>{{cite }}</ref> templates indicating where the information came from, so other editors can verify. It does take time to learn this unique syntax. Feel fre to ask questions if you need suggestions, thanks again. W Nowicki (talk) 22:29, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

March 2019

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Broadband Technology Opportunity Program, from its old location at User:BroadbandGuru/Broadband Technology Opportunity Program. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 04:38, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
