Please note that drafts such as Draft:David Buchbinder are not allowed to be filed in categories alongside finished articles in mainspace while they're in draft, per WP:DRAFTNOCAT. Drafts must stay out of any categories while they're in draft, and may be added to categories only if and when they've been accepted and moved by an WP:AFC reviewer. As I've already had to pull the page out of categories twice in barely one hour, do not readd it to categories again, as drafts aren't allowed to be in categories.

Thanks for your note. I apologize for that, I am not much use with code etc., so whatever double submission I made was in error. I was just trying to make sure the text was as good as I could make it. Please let me know if there's anything I need to fix directly. Thanks for your help.

Just don't take the colons out from in front of the word "Category" in the category links at the bottom. It's fine for a draft to have disabled categories on it, so that they function as text links to the category, but taking that colon out files the page in the category, where it isn't allowed to be. So leave the colons there, and they'll be removed if and when the draft gets approved and moved. Other than that, there are no other problems that I can see. Thanks.
