The very first sentence in this article sounds like an advertisement. It really should be written simply as "Comcast Corporation, formerly registered as Comcast Holdings, is a US based mass media and communications company. It is currently ranked as having the highest revenue in the world as a International Media Corporation. |

:''"Comcast is described as a family business. Brian L. Roberts, its chairman, president and CEO, is the son of founder Ralph J. Roberts. Roberts owns or controls about 1% of all Comcast shares…"'' |
|
I feel that the discussion of the merger referenced in item 72, not only leads the audience to presume that comcast has current holdings in AT&T U Verse, but also the source has no affiliation with the security and exchange commission. |

:Erm, that should've been "''Ambiguity'' alert". Apparently the mobile version of WP's editor doesn't let us correct our Talk topics, just reply to them. I'm married, so this seems familiar. – ] (]) 07:36, 29 January 2022 (UTC) |

Greetings Wikipedians! Two issues here: 1) The narrative part of this section seemed to be outdated. There was text about results from 5-10 years ago but nothing about more recent years. I deleted the outdated text and added a brief, non-judgmental summary of 2022, supported by citations. 2) A web site called "Simply Wall Street" is cited multiple times by prior editors. How do we know that web site is a reliable source? I'd prefer to see something written by a firm or publication that is closer to Misplaced Pages standards. The boilerplate on "Simply Wall Street" is not impressive: "Simply Wall Street Pty Ltd (ACN 600 056 611), is a Corporate Authorised Representative (Authorised Representative Number: 467183) of Sanlam Private Wealth Pty Ltd (AFSL No. 337927)." Full disclosure: I have no conflict of interest or affiliation with Comcast apart from the fact that I use their cable TV and internet products. Cordially, ] (]) 14:38, 25 August 2023 (UTC) |

The third paragraph below the title seems to not proportionally summarize the company as the previous paragraphs and instead, dedicate the introductory part of the article to critisism with a biased tone. The status that there is criticism against the company could remain at the top of the article, but many of the details should otherwise be moved to the ] section. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 06:08, 4 June 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Greetings Wikipedians. I deleted the list of bullet points headed "ImageWorks" because it seems totally out of place in the Overview section. There was no context given to explain what ImageWorks is, nor its relationship to Comcast. And I can't think of any reason why those bullet points might belong there, or in this article at all for that matter. And so, being ever-mindful of Misplaced Pages's guidance to "be bold", I have taken action. If that was wrong, please tell us why. Cordially, ] (]) 13:31, 27 December 2021 (UTC) |

The Comcast logo was updated in early 2024 to include a reflection layer that's not represented here. The new SVG logo is available on Wikimedia Commons, can someone update this here? The correct version of the logo is reflected at https://corporate.comcast.com and at https://brand.comcast.com. |
