Include Robocall solutions section
I have written a section for the page about consumer solutions which combat robocalls. I suggest that it does not merit its own page, but could be placed after the Reverse robocalling section. I have taken into account the issue The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. and it has been written from a more international perspective than the rest of the page.

 * This is great content. You provided information with citations to reliable sources. Are you feeling shy about posting this into the article? If you are, then I would copy/paste it for you, but you could be bold and do it. I support the addition of this content into the article. What can I do to help?

 * Yes, include this content. Glrx (talk) 18:46, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the positive feedback and . Is there a way to move the draft article into the parent article as a new section, preserving the edit history (just for sake of completeness)? I had a look and couldn't find a way of doing it, but I'm guessing I've just missed it. Gmseow (talk) 11:39, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * There is not a way to preserve edit history at the level of individual sections. Edit history is only kept for whole articles. There are some ways to combine entire article edit histories, but in this case, that would not apply.
 * The most apparent way forward in this case is to copy the "robocall solutions" draft into the main robocall article. This will result in a one-line edit being logged in the history of the main article.
 * In the future, you can do things the way you did this time, or if you like, make multiple edits directly into the main article as you are drafting whatever content you wish to share. Ask if you have questions. I expect you can manage the copy/paste but if you need assistance then I am here at your request.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  14:23, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * No problem, I'll just paste it in. Thanks again Gmseow (talk) 14:41, 21 December 2016 (UTC)


 * When you do the edit, the edit summary should include a wikilink to Draft:Robocall solutions to follow CC BY-. 16:25, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
