Talk:Adtran

message: The current version of this article sounds like direct copy from  marketing materials. Words/phrases "leading", "global", "widely deployed" etc are  fine in the propaganda writings, but not in an encyclopedic article.
:It helps a lot if you sign your comments. Anyway, I agree. This is marketing treacle, and needs to be rewritten. I know nothing about Adtran but I'm happy to put the rewrite flag on it. --Rhombus 22:22, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Applied editorial hatchet.  ADTRAN really was and is an important player, but that was all glow, with a wee bit of show.  Killed the product list, the company web site or online catalogs are great for that, and WP is not.  Some of the corporate stuff was just wrong.  Added some sourcing, and wp:SELFPUB sources for info about the company.  It is a stub, but it is a mostly nice clean stub.  I left in a bit of marketing glow that should be source-able or I'll kill it.- sinneed (talk) 22:10, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Looking back at the edit history I've noticed edits from IP addresses controlled by Adtran so I figured I would list them here.
CIDR              	Range                                                   	Source
2620:4A::/48      	2620:4A:: - 2620:4A:0:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF          	Direct from ARIN
2620:106:A000::/44	2620:106:A000:: - 2620:106:A00F:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF	Direct from ARIN
207.229.96.0/23   	207.229.96.0 - 207.229.97.255                           	Direct from ARIN
76.164.174.0/24   	76.164.174.0 - 76.164.174.255                           	Sub from API Digital
I've added the  template i.e.  to some of the listed addresses that have made edits.
Note these are just some of the ranges I found while checking the edit history against ARIN. I haven't checked any of the other RIR so there could be more IP ranges that aren't listed. - Offnfopt(talk) 06:06, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Adtran IP ranges 

message: seems to have changed the article into a straight PR article for the company.  Based on the above, seems like this company doesn't have sufficient controls over keeping their agents from editing Wikipedia without disclosing their conflict of interest as required.  I wonder who's supposed to trust them if, even after 5 years, they return to committing unauthorized access to other organization's servers.  I've tagged the article.
