@ User:Chefmikesf, do you have sources for the updates to acquisitions and divestitures? I don't think we can wipe out the existing section when it has more information. The article in general could use some reorganization and the history section in particular has a couple orange quality banners, open to improving those if you have any input or supporting references to share. - Indefensible ( talk) 23:44, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
