On 2 January 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from ADTRAN to Adtran. The result of the discussion was moved. |
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.
"According to market intelligence firms Dataquest and International Data Corporation, ADTRAN currently holds revenue-leading positions in integrated access, Frame Relay/DDS, ISDN extension and HDSL/T1/E1 network and access markets.[citation needed]"

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 ((IP COI notice)) template i.e. ((IP COI notice|[[ADTRAN|Adtran, Inc.]]))
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)
Bamagirl90 (talk · contribs) 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.

The result of the move request was: moved. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:57, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
ADTRAN → Adtran – Not even the subject uses all-caps now. Even if it did, we don't allow subjects to declare their own all-caps promotion to be correct for Wikipedia: MOS:TMRULES is the standard. Closeapple (talk) 04:30, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
First comment by Atomicdragon136 already existed under the title "Capitalization of brand name" before the above move template:
The page is titled “ADTRAN” while the article spells it as “Adtran”. In the company’s website, they spell it in lower case (but formerly in all caps). They are still registered in Nasdaq as “ADTRAN Holdings, Inc”. While this article hasn’t really been updated with more recent sources, there doesn’t seem to be a more common name currently as I see both of them in online news articles published in the past year.
I’m leaning towards moving this page to Adtran. 𝕒𝕥𝕠𝕞𝕚𝕔𝕕𝕣𝕒𝕘𝕠𝕟𝟙𝟛𝟞 🗨️ 🖊️ 07:43, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
