Fixed problem on the China national football team
I have checked your message, and I have checked this page to edit some section you told me about. It was back to normal again. From now on, I take steps of responsibility to edit some pages and not to make mistakes on some pages. Thank you for your wisdom.

Should it be 90% rather than 9%? Diraffe (talk) 01:21, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Acton Main Line
The bot has flagged up a problem with an edit where I placed a missing bracket in the above article. As far as I can see the table involved is working as before and the only change I can see is the addition of the missing bracket. False positive? Britmax (talk) 01:11, 10 August 2014 (UTC)


 * The bracket you added wasn't missing but misplaced; your addition left the misplaced bracket unpaired. I'm rather surprised it didn't break the entire table; anyway, I have removed it now. Huon (talk) 22:24, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

User:DefconBot has not updated in 10 days
FYI, the bot User:DefconBot has not updated in 10 days, in there a malfunction? Should we switch to manual in the meantime? Jab843 (talk) 05:24, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

thanks my friend for your help.. I appreciate it. plz feel free to guide and tell me and also point out where i did something wrong.It will help me improving the experience in writing the wiki article ...regards...--Malik Amin (talk) 08:57, 12 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I've done some copyediting and added the missing 28th member country. More work will likely be necessary. In particular, better references couldn't hurt. Huon (talk) 15:14, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

In response to my Bob Costas post above
My sources are very reliable. I sited Syracuse University, I would consider a university to be one of the most reliable sources there is. Also, any other source I will use will either be from NBC Sports or a national publication. If you notice any problems with my edits please let me know, but my sources should not be in question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.213.212.245 (talk) 14:13, 14 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Please be specific: Which source, exactly, says his father's family roots are from the island of Kalymnos, not Chios? Which source says Costas is 5' 7" in height, not 5' 4"? I did not see any sources for either claim. Huon (talk) 12:29, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Vada cleanup app
Any news on the development on this app? As of recently I've found the app to be almost completely unusable because it would always freeze while trying to check the external links on the article, preventing me from doing any typo-fixing or syntax-cleanup. I still stand in my position to have this feature disabled by default, and can be enabled manually, such as via a checkbox. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 12:49, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Hey Tnx
Thanks Dear i hope best friend with you me i question? How I Make An Biography about yourself without speedy deletion ? please answer dear — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muerhaaa (talk • contribs) 16:12, 16 August 2014 (UTC)


 * The short answer is: You shouldn't. Writing an autobiography is strongly discouraged due to the inherent conflict of interest. You would have to be extremely careful to make sure that what you write is a neutral summary of what reliable sources that are independent of you, such as newspapers or reputable magazines, report, and that you satisfy the notability guidelines in the first place.

Requested Chand Baori article correction
Hello, I read your September 2013 message today (I only just figured out what the red number next to my name means). I thought I had figured out how to enter a citation, but I guess I was wrong. Unfortunately, I don't understand your instructions. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Wordreader I'd appreciate it if you could walk me through this. Luckily, I stopped entering citations in articles since then, but have only included them on talk pages for the smarter Wikipedians to add if they wish. Thank you for your help, Wordreader (talk) 16:18, 11 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Good news: You already fixed that issue back in September 2013. Nothing to be done here. Huon (talk) 20:32, 11 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank goodness! All this technical stuff leaves me sooooooo confused. All the best, Wordreader (talk) 01:47, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

don't seem to be problem
Hi the bracketbot suggests some problem I can't find when I go to the page to fix the edits. Fyi. Am I missing something? Tks Manytexts (talk) 02:12, 21 August 2014 (UTC)


 * This was the problem the bot notified you about: You broke the link to the Ganges article by removing the square brackets at the end. Fixed. Huon (talk) 20:35, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

BracketBot – Lee788
Lee788 (talk), 24 August 2014 (UTC) It already re-edited. Sir,thanks for that information.


 * You're welcome, thank you for fixing it. Huon (talk) 12:51, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Oh, so this is how "it works!" The Sawggarts hire you as a "gate-keeper" to silence, and suppress the truth!! You want "FACTS!??" I already stated "August 2014" as their amount for being on air to be just under $4 million dollars ($3.8 million to be EXACT!). AS for my other statement, do a "fact-check!" Ever hear of such a thing??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Izzyt84 (talk • contribs) 14:30, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * The burden of evidence is on the editor who wants to add content. Others are not required to do your work for you. See also the policy on biographies of living persons which mandates the immediate removal of unsourced negative content. Huon (talk) 13:50, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

DefconBot down again
DefconBot hasn't edited in four days again, re-poking. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 11:26, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * how does on poke? :) Jab843 (talk) 12:30, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Turns out the feed had been modified slightly, causing regular errors; since patched. 930913 &#123;&#123;ping&#125;&#125; 11:39, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Proper choice of icon
A, assuming that you run Referencebot, you should reconsider the icon you are using. See, for example, User talk:Dirsmith2 - your reference error notice appears with a red triangle, the same red triangle used for red-alert notices like copyright violations and speedy delete warnings. A reference error is a relatively minor notice, and should probably have no icon at all, similar to the disambiguation page notices left by DPL bot. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 04:07, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Voice Farm
I thought that this article needed some more information.--Voice Farmer (talk) 23:18, 27 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I think it needs some more reliable sources instead of more unsourced information. I've also fixed the bracket issue. Huon (talk) 18:08, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

I fixed a small typo on your User page ...
... and your User page disappeared. Apparently you have an automated authentication system running on your User page. I was just trying to be helpful. —Finell 04:53, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

A kitten for you!
Thank you for BracketBot. It was really helpful and makes Wikipedia a more forgiving place.
