Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you editedList of mergers and acquisitions by Apple, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation pageBloomberg. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles.Read theFAQ • Join us at theDPL WikiProject.

Doug, I met you at the editathon at the library yesterday. You had a complaint about drafts being rejected. I've had a look at your most recent draftDraft:The Colorado Sun and I too am disappointed that this was rejected. Since it has the required sourcing I can help you get this accepted. We can alsorecover and have a look at you other work that was declined and then subsequently delete. ~Kvng (talk)15:10, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Doug Grinbergs. I wanted to let you know that political endorsements must meet all three of these criteria:
This is covered by the consensus atWP:ERFC.
For that reason, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, poker websites, and blogs are not acceptable sources. Also, donating to a campaign or showing up to a campaign rally are not endorsements. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you -MrX 🖋13:15, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I saw your comment atRobert Reich. I've turned the list into chronological order. Regarding your comment, I think that the current list is fine as-is, but if you want to change it into a sortable table, you can either do it inVisualEditor ormanually enter it in as Wikicode. Hope this helps!◢ Ganbaruby! (talk to me)02:11, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
