162.158.63.124: yay for analogies (concerning whether the fact that microsoft does not operate github today is whatsoever relevant to the fact that they are on a social-media-platform-buying streak)

 :::This is like arguing that there was no war in 1939 because the British infantry didn't start shooting yet. The explanation text says nowhere that microsoft currently owns and operates github. It does list github as an example of a trend of Microsoft buying professional social media, which is the truth. This isn't nitpicking because there is no nit to pick.

 :It was confirmed as a done deal the same day. The purchase is already agreed upon, it will take some months for the merger to be completed. Even if that were not the case, github is still relevant to Microsoft's trend of buying up professional social media platforms. Adding it back in.

 ::I totally agree about ''Microsoft's trend'' but it's still only an announcement. Wikipedia says: "The purchase is expected to close by the end of the year" and at [https://github.com/about/milestones GitHub (about; milestones)] they say in June 2018 "Microsoft announced it is acquiring GitHub". Sorry if I'm nitpicking, but right now GitHub is NOT owned by Microsoft while the explanation suggests this. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 18:55, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
