Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Oath: The Obama White House and the Supreme Court, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Doubleday(check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
