Disambiguation link notification for October 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Canadian coffee regulations, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Robusta and Arabica ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Canadian_coffee_regulations check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Canadian_coffee_regulations?client=notify fix with Dab solver]).

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Catherine Dorion, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Your collapse of the electoral section cause the References section to be 'hidden'. 220  of  Borg 05:15, 14 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Ha! I use it, repeatedly. In that case, it was the first time I'd done that, and the collapse template wasn't working as I expected. It was only after saving that I could see that it wasn't right. Freshman error, I suppose.RFT42 (talk) 05:47, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

McGill University Revert
Hi, I reverted your edit. Source 33 : "James McGill, founder of McGill University, had slaves. So did Marguerite d'Youville, the Grey Nuns founder who was canonized in 1990." Spyder212 (talk) 02:31, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I see, the edit stood out, and the source that had followed did not mention it, so seemed odd... sorry for that, . RFT42 (talk) 02:37, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

AAU men's basketball players category
Please stop adding modern day basketball players to Category:Amateur Athletic Union men's basketball players, like you did with Jamal Murray, Lebron James, etc. If you read the category's description you'd see that it is only for players who competed in the AAU between 1920/21 and 1967/68.
