thread_title:  Wiki Article or Ad? 

message: This seemed to carry little relevance and a strong NPOV, thus was removed:
*West Corporation Prides itself on being a company geared towards taking care of Management, while the average worker, earning a decent wage but paying outrageously for any type of medical benefits, seems to be the stones on which the management teams steps to get ahead.
*"Removed NPOV," indeed. That was unintentional humor, I suppose. It sounds like the article needs a section for 'Criticisms of West' or 'Labor Controversies' or some such. Probably 'Criticisms' with a few subsections under that, including 'Labor Controversies'. Simply deleting contributions that don't show the company in a good light is what seems to have been done here. I simply don't have the personal resources to get involved in some kind of edit war with the unsigned contributor who said this has "little relevance". Nobody wants to make this a forum for lone cranks to carry on their grudges against huge organizations, but the deleted contribution is consistent with assertions and analyses by many economists and journalists about virtually every medium-sized or large corporation in the U.S.A. "Not relevant" according to who, I wonder? 69.17.65.107 (talk) 21:49, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

message: :Image:Westlogographic.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: This wikipedia article presents Intrado as a rebranded name of West.  When you look to the history of Intrado you're seeing West's history instead.  Intrado goes far further back than West and was a West acquisition before West ultimately chose to rebrand as Intrado.  This article misses all of the pre-West history of Intrado and its predecessors. 199.71.211.90 (talk) 18:36, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: This is correct.  West and Intrado started as separate companies, combined for a while, changed names around (causing a lot of confusion) and then split apart again.  At this point, this page really needs to be split out entirely between West and Intrado. . . Ccashell (talk) 02:11, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  As an entry for Intrado and Intrado history, article is factually inaccurate.
