This April will conclude a 13-year-long successful relationship between Imgur and Stack, for which the whole company has been deeply grateful. However, Imgur no longer provides an enterprise image hosting product, and therefore, it has come time to find an alternative solution.<br />-- <a href=\"https://meta.stackexchange.com/users/1037447/slate\">Slate</a></blockquote>",

Is there an actual limit on the length of the title, or are you just asking me to reword it better?

I see a lot of past events with blockquotes linking the author's name to the URL of an MSE post or a tweet. Is stating the author name and linking to their profile a new convention? If so, it'd be better to clarify it in the event editor.

@samliew Updated. Please review again, thanks.

@samliew Pinging you again in case you didn't see it in the edit. I'd appreciate if you don't close the issues so fast and give me the opportunity to correct any problem. I may lose track of which suggested event updates haven't had a pull request merged in the pile of closed issues (the pull request icons aren't reliable indicators). Thank you again for taking my requests over the past 2 weeks as I'm nearly done with going over the timeline of Stack Exchange by now.
