P.S., I hath perused thy notice, and findeth it ungrammatical by the standards of British English, yea, even though it be pseudo-archaic, and therefore the spelling thereof counteth not. Even so I complaineth not, but merely informeth thou of the error of thine ways that thou may revert to the path of righteousness. P.P.S The pot, I guess, calleth the kettle black...

Diff: A ^{[citation needed]} that I posted as a reminder to myself to replace a cite to a dead link was written as {{cn}.

Comment/question: Is it possible to make BracketBot ignore articles marked {{inuse}} or {{underconstruction}}? The bot's habit of disrupting my work in progress is as distracting as the {{inuse}} and {{underconstruction}} tags I just entered. Especially when it pops in in mid-session when I am editing. Georgejdorner (talk) 07:39, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

On the other hand you are immediately notified of typos or such. If the bot ignored edits made to such articles, it would not return to detect mistakes when the {{inuse}} tag is removed. Huon (talk) 18:16, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Comment/question: The bracket (a parenthesis) was part of an emoticon that appeared in quoted text. These seems like it might be a bit of a common false positive, though I'm not sure if there's a fool-proof way to get around it. I figured I'd leave a note just in case!

BracketBot – Jim1138

Page: List of laser applications

Diff: [1]

Comment/question: It left the note the middle of my talk page, making it difficult and/or unlikely to find. Probably was looking for the "October 2013" section. The first comment appeared to be a superfluous ')' but was rather cryptic as it just listed ").". A better hint on that would be appreciated. Thanks for maintaining BracketBot. Cheers Jim1138 (talk)

Jim1138 (talk) 17:36, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Indeed the bot will use a previously existing section instead of creating a new one. That was a deliberate decision. Regarding the cryptic hint, that was the entire line. The only way to make that hint less cryptic would be to give the preceding and/or following lines as well, which would make the vast majority of BracketBot messages unnecessarily long. So I'd say the occasional cryptic message (here unfortunately an issue that wasn't even based on your own edit) is an acceptable trade-off. Huon (talk) 23:03, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Comment/question: HELP! Louis John Chapin (talk) 06:46, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Helped. You should be a little more careful with the {{birth date and age}} templates, though; this one is not the first you broke. Firstly, if the birthdate is correct, Kohner isn't 77 yet. Secondly, the template will automatically update the age after her birthday. There's absolutely no need to try and manually fix the age. Also, you should use the preview to check whether your edit has the desired effect before you save it, especially when you modify templates you don't fully understand.

Hilda Awomolo (talk) 14:43, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

You forgot a few brackets for some of the external links, but don't worry; we don't block people for mistakes. I have fixed the issue and made some other changes to the article. In particular I removed the table of interviews (those surely are not what Rao is notable for, nor did the interviews themselves seem to be the subject of third-party coverage. I also switched the "references" and "external links" headlines. References are supposed to be reliable sources that serve to verify the article's content, such as newspaper articles about Rao. External links are links that don't satisfy our standards for reliable sources but may still be helpful for our readers, such as a link to an official website. We shouldn't add too many of those or it will look like linkspam; we're here to provide information, not to promote Rao's works. Thus I have removed most of the external links.

You indeed repaired the syntax, thanks! When there are two errors on a page, BracketBot sometimes thinks an edit that repaired one caused the other; that's what happened here.

User:A930913 {{User:A930913/BBresolved|yes}}

List of St. Louis Cardinals coaches ry The matter of your inquiry is unclear.

Your bot identified botself as Referencebot, but I believe it malfunctioned in an identity self-check script and its true nomenclature is FalsePositivebot. As an aside, I noted the notice. However, in the case that my Americanized English does not strike your fancy, I can switch to Spanish English (not the same as Spanglish or Espanglés, thank you), a form of what is now known as Castellano that the court Communications official of Ferdinand I of León and Castile promulgated. Adíos!

Elcid.ruderico (talk) 05:25, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Your snark would be a lot more impressive if you had not, in fact, broken the references by removing the p.277 and p.278 versions of Broeg. That caused large red error messages along the lines of "Cite error: The named reference Broeg_1998:_278 was invoked but never defined (see the help page)." Compare for example this version's references section. Fixed. Huon (talk) 12:27, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your corrections, but they were unnecessary. I have a method to building the list, even if it is producing red error messages. And frankly, they really don't have to be such an eyesore. I am building the list alphabetically, because that is how the Broeg book has the individuals listed – except where I have may found them elsewhere. On a side note, my response – combined with the misapplied tags – were simply out of amusement to the message that is on your edit page. So it was not actually meant to offend, or for "snark," as that tends to be unamusing rhetoric, stuffy, overly-PC and simply the veiled ethos of people who try too hard to be right. Again, thanks for your help. Hasta luego! --Elcid.ruderico (talk) 15:56, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

I am former Somali non commissioned officer, worked for office of archives and military history. I made few corrections on the ranks of people in the last section. I corrected bad on 1977 rank list and added names that were left out. It is too difficult to list all names of colonels and majors for all 5-divisions on 1977

General Samatar was the most senior and high ranking

Indeed it's too difficult to list every officer; thus the table is supposed to hold only notable entries, which usually means "people who have an article of their own".

Welcome to Wikipedia, then! I'm not sure what kind of help you're looking for. Since this is the English Wikipedia and few of our readers will be able to read Romanian, quotes in Romanian won't be all that helpful. Sources in Romanian are acceptable, though; you can either use citation templates such as {{cite news}} which have "language=" and "trans_title=" parameters for the original language and an English translation of the title, or you can use the {{ro icon}} template with an external link to produce (in Romanian).

Firstly, I fail to see why there needs to be an opening parenthesis without a corresponding closing parenthesis. Secondly, you cited no reliable sources for the content you added. Particularly the information about regulation would require such a source so our readers can verify it, but the primary source on the consortium didn't say what you cited it for, either.

A situation like this might need a permanent tag in the article. As it stands, an editor can avoid BracketBot's attention by including a "!nobot!" in the edit summary, but that only works once. If a subsequent editor changes anything and thus triggers a BracketBot visit, then the 45 instances will recur. Could you code something similar to the "NoBracketBot" command for editors, but to be used in an article? — Molly-in-md (talk) 16:14, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Just looked at the code again, and found that I could add it in easily, contrary to what I thought earlier. Inserting {{NoBracketBot}} into an article should make BracketBot ignore it. Feel free to test. 930913(Congratulate) 19:08, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

One day at a time, please?

In October, Bracketbot picked up two mistakes I'd made - one on the 12th, one on the 29th. I'd have found it much clearer if it had listed the second one at the bottom of my talk page, with its own heading, rather than under "October 2013", created 17 days earlier, since when I'd had several other messages. I got a notification that I'd got a talk page message, then had to dig around to find it. The disambiguation bot gives its messages heading like "Disambiguation link notification for November 1", which is much clearer.

I can see the value in putting various "User warning" templates under the heading for a month, to group them together - but presumably Bracketbot AGFs and is generally picking up typos (I have a bad habit of taking finger off shift key too soon or too late and producing "[{" etc), so its helpful messages are informative and advisory rather than warnings, and would be more appropriately put at the bottom of the user's talk page.

If there are reasons why it's better for them to be at the monthly heading, could you provide an option for those of us who'd rather see them at the bottom of the page? Thanks.

That said, I think it's a very useful bot and am always happy to go and fix the things it tells me to fix! Well done for providing this useful aid for sloppy typists who don't always remember to use "Show Preview"! PamD 22:51, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Just looked at last archive and see that this has been raised before and you said it was "a deliberate decision" to use one section per month. I'd ask you to reconsider. PamD 08:43, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Done. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 06:50, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, the template looks useful ... but I've added it to my user talk page, done a couple of test edits, and it's still putting the messages under "November 2013". I added a talk page comment below that section, in case that affected it, but the next test still got added to the month's heading. Does the template need some time before it takes effect? Or ... ? PamD 08:30, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

@PamD: Looks like the lack of the template on the userpage overwrote that of the talkpage. Fixed. 930913(Congratulate) 14:00, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

@Lugnuts: Add {{DailyBracketBot}} to your user or talk page. DPL bot doesn't deal with so much vandalism, so it's easier to have its own daily header. 930913(Congratulate) 14:00, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

She just wrapped a major picture with a principal role of Pearl Grimes with Whoopi Goldberg, Ashley Judd and Patrick Wilson.

I uploaded the wrong image. I have uploaded the correct image that I personally took on set but it went into a "commons" page. It is the image of Erika Coleman in a blue shirt against a brick wall. I personally took the photo on set.

This is not a promotional page. This is because Erika has a body of work that is substantial. I cannot say that about the others.

The bot's purpose is to point out mismatched brackets so a human can fix them. In your edit you added an opening parenthesis but no corresponding closing parenthesis. I fixed that and tidied up theee references in the process.

An article is an orphan if no other articles link to it. To resolve that, you'll have to add links to your page to related articles such as the main Alice's Adventures in Wonderland article, or possibly to the articles on individual illustrators if they're primarily known as Alice illustrators.

Hi! @BracketBot, I read all your instructions, thank you for your giving me such an important Warning. I understood, it is a mistake to vandalize pages as i last did. Please do not take this serious as it would not be repeated never again. I am a novice in editing wikis, and would be glad to follow all your instructions and guides. Thanks so much

Please could you help me edit the African Computer Scientists article? and what else should i do? I will be happy for your advice. talk:Faustamens

This is not a bracket issue; I'll reply on your talk page. Huon (talk) 22:52, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Not aware of any () bracket left open, unless it occured by accident somewhere on the page:

Raisinpie (talk) 06:28, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

You removed a curly bracket in the very first line, thereby breaking the {{Use British English}} template. Fixed by 86.181.10.231. Huon (talk) 22:52, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

See last message. I'm just trying to add the 4 tildes I forgot ... except I don't see a tilde key on my keyboard! Looks like there's four tildes automatically inserted though ... Diff:

I have reverted your edit since we don't have an article on that McAdams and thus don't need to disambiguate it from articles on other people of the same name. Huon (talk) 22:52, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

The bot only points out possible problems; it's not smart enough to repair them on its own. I have reverted your additions to the list; it's meant to only list people we have articles about. Huon (talk) 00:01, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Comment/question: I was told I had something wrong with the brackets in my categories, but I don't see the error. Perhaps I already fixed it by the time I got the BracketBot message? Psubrian (talk) 07:12, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

The last category was one closing bracket short; ChrisGualtieri fixed that. Huon (talk) 00:01, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Comment/question: why am i getting proposed deletion messages even after submission of sufficient reference links.

Vamseesasidhar (talk) 07:55, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia does not consider itself a reliable source. You received two proposd deletion messages because you had created two copies of the article - one for each copy. Huon (talk) 00:01, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

how to create the tabular form of list of films for filmography:

See Help:Table, or take a look at a page that already has a tabular filmography, such as Viggo Mortensen. Also, this is not the Help desk. Huon (talk) 00:01, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Your message was a false positive

No it wasn't. When you removed the Rösener quote you left the <ref> tag in place, causing an error. Huon (talk) 00:01, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi Bot, I want to full protect this page. I used syntax as {{pp-meta, but after editing i cant see that the page is protected from editing. Could you please let me know what is wrong in the script or command. Thanks

HarishKumarGupta (talk) 17:37, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

I have deleted the article since it gave no indication of why Gupta is notable (and if you are Gupta, you should take a look at our guideline on conflicts of interest; writing an autobiography or editing an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. Turning an article on someone else into an article on you is even worse, though in this case the other person also wasn't notable.

Regarding the protection template, the {{pp-meta}} template itself does not protect the page. Only admins can protect pages, and we do so only if it's necessary to prevent vandalism - not to freeze a particular version of an article for eternity. The template is only used to add a notification to already-protected pages, and even then it's not meant to be used directly. Huon (talk) 22:29, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
