[edit] Introduction to Electronics

(Nominated by Twang.) Non-encyclopedic spam. — Mateo SA | talk 05:02, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Advertisement for an electronics course. Text is most likely right from the website. ♠DanMS 05:26, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

• This is the first article I have submitted to this resource and I apologize for the format of this article. This resource is a free educational module on the electronics industry. I thought is would be easier for a user to go directly to the information via the weblink and not post all the content explanation and additional resources in the article. If all the materials need to be included here, I will reformat the materials to accomplish this. I am also open to having the links added to a resource site. The object of the development of these materials is to have everyone that is in electronics using them when they are needed. Please advise me on what would be the best way to present this information and not have it look like spam or an advertizement. It was not intended to be offensive but only a new resource to be used. --Tom 15:25, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
  • This particular article seems to promote one particular course from this company. I would suggest an article on WorkReady Electronics (website), from which you got this information. You could describe the history and purpose of the company and some of the types of courses that they offer. The article must not sound like a promotion for the company, but a description of the company and its importance in the field of occupational education. If the company is at all notable or has an established reputation in occupational training, then the article would likely be worth keeping. ♠DanMS 01:25, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

• DanMS I will take your suggestion and re-write the article as you have suggested. MATEC is an educational division of the Maricopa County Community Colleges and the Work Ready Electronics project has been running online for 2.5 years serving electronics instruction throughout the US Community Colleges Electroinics programs. I will begin the rewrite of the article. Is there a way to retitle the article if it is needed? Tom--Tom 14:19, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
