Disambiguation link notification for September 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Margaret and Charles Juravinski Centre, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Disorders. 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.

Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Royal Connaught Hotel, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

History of LGBTQ in journalism

Most of this article doesn't have a clear relationship to journalism. In fact, some of it deals with novels, poetry, and other non-journalistic media. Maybe either the title of the article should be changed to reflect its content, or the content should have the non-journalism-related items removed. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:14, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
