Talk:Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney

Source 📝

733: 399: 378: 304: 562: 1004:, November 6 is the date that news outlets first began reporting that Disney and 21st Century Fox were in talks about a possible acquisition. This was not the date the deal was "initiated" as talks had apparently been underway for a while, according to the article, and a deal wouldn't be announced until the following month. Accordingly, I don't think it is accurate to characterize that date as the date on which the acquisition was "initiated" in the infobox. 294: 273: 515: 487: 915: 763: 675: 211: 242: 973: 534: 409: 822: 1033:
I have changed the initiated date to the December 14, 2017 date and added a comment for now. If more information eventually comes to light about when talks may have first began, don't fret to ping me! Also I didn't even realize that you reverted my edit, I just thought I somehow managed to revert my
1011:-- December 14, 2017 -- as that was the date on which the process of seeking regulatory approvals officially began. That said, I'm not sure if it's even necessary to use this parameter in the infobox at all since the history/timeline of this particular acquisition is so convoluted. 190: 544: 153: 1059:
Thank you for making the change and leaving the note. And no need to apologize for reverting me, I am actually the one who should have double checked the dates myself before I made my revert. Thank you for your edits to build the infobox!

I also don't think that the date that was in the infobox originally, July 19, 2018, is accurate either (which is why I haven't reverted back again). I think it would make more sense to use
