Deleted Imageworks sub-section

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, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 13:31, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Ambiguous alert (woo!)

"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…"

Yes, but which Roberts? – AndyFielding (talk) 07:33, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

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. – AndyFielding (talk) 07:36, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Financial performance: Aug. 25, 2023 changes

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 Two issues here: 1) The narrative part of this section seemed to be outdated.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 I deleted the outdated text and added a brief, non-judgmental summary of 2022, supported by citations. 2) A web site called "Simply Wall Street" is cited multiple times by prior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.
