• The only thing that was brought to my attention was This acquisition was described as a "a perfect fit" with Condé Nast's other magazines, especially Gourmet and House & Garden, because of Knapp's magazines such as Architectural Digest and Bon Appétit. - because the word "especially" makes it sound like the editor's POV.

  • One of my biggest problems with lists like these is that there is no general ref (at least from reliable sources). So while you can piece together a list through various refs, there is no definitive source that proves the list is 100% complete. Is there any chance such a ref would exist?
  • Also, instead of having [note #], would it be better to instead use [A], [B], etc.? That's what I do when I have to use notes and it usually works pretty good.
  • Would it be possible to add a note explaining why some rows don't have a value (I'm assuming it's because those amounts were never disclosed, but it should be mentioned). I believe I actually brought this up in a previous FLC for a similar list.
• Either way, it's not a bad looking (albeit shorter than I like to see) list. -- Zombie Scorpion⁰⁴²² 19:39, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I've added a general reference; every acquisition listed there is also listed here. I prefer using the numbers for notes; whichever is used is based on personal preference rather than any policy, really. I've added a note about missing values. Also, if you think this is short, wait until you see List of mergers and acquisitions by Microsoft ;) Gary King (talk) 19:56, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
