Disambiguation link notification for January 29
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of mergers and acquisitions by Apple, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bloomberg. 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.

Draft articles
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 draft Draft: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 also recover and have a look at you other work that was declined and then subsequently delete. ~Kvng (talk) 15:10, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

February 2020
Hi Doug Grinbergs. I wanted to let you know that political endorsements must meet all three of these criteria:
 * 1) The endorser must have an article or be unquestionably entitled to one
 * 2) This endorsement must be covered by reliable and independent sources
 * 3) Coverage of the endorsement needs to use the word endorse, or other closely related synonym.

This is covered by the consensus at WP: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)

Table help
Hi, I saw your comment at Robert 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 in VisualEditor or manually enter it in as Wikicode. Hope this helps! ◢    Ganbaruby!    (talk to me) 02:11, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Mike Duffey
Hello. I've reverted your addition of a Ballotpedia link to Mike Duffey. Ballotpedia has no page for Mike Duffey, Senior Vice Chancellor of the Ohio Department of Higher Education and a former a member of the Ohio House of Representatives. There is a Ballotpedia page for Michael Duffey of Wisconsin, who has worked for President Trump. See Talk:Mike Duffey. -- Pemilligan (talk) 15:43, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
