I was trying just to get the red link off the Internal Affairs that's all. If I made a mistake sorry. User Allen terry 02:19 October 1. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allen terry (talk • contribs) 02:19, 1 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Removal of red links is not an end in itself if an article on the topic could conceivably be written. We have lots of articles on TV show episodes; thus a link to this episode doesn't seem inappropriate even if we do not have the article yet. Huon (talk) 14:02, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Exxon Valdez
Got your message, but I don't understand how my deletion would cause a referencing error. I simply deleted a sentence in the lede that did not relate to anything before or after it, and which was not represented in the main article. The sentence carried a citation, but I don't see how the deletion would upset the other references. Valetude (talk) 08:36, 2 October 2014 (UTC)


 * The reference you removed was defined in the references section and was unused when you removed that statement. The issue was fixed by Mandruss who commented out the reference. Huon (talk) 14:02, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

1968 Olympic football tournament
Hi, thank you for your notice about the bracket. I have fixed it. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdaCiccone (talk • contribs) 07:51, 3 October 2014 (UTC)


 * You're welcome, thank you for fixing the issue. Huon (talk) 14:02, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your help
Thanks a lot for going through the article Sihanoukville (city). Although i am an IT guy, i am rather new at Wikipedia. Tagging is actually quite nice, but the system is astonishingly complex. There is another bug on the article...a non-functional source template...i am going to try to figure this out... Thanks again and All the Best!!!Wikirictor (talk) 07:30, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

too quick for me
thanks for your help....although i am still on it ATB!!!Wikirictor (talk) 04:44, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Warn for broken refs too?
I wonder if we have a bot for warning for editors when they break ref tags too. If not, it would be a good idea to have one and you seem to know the how to create one. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:13, 9 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes we do. And yes, as you suggested, I did make it 930913 &#123;&#123;ping&#125;&#125; 19:59, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

BracketBot – Hammerman Gunmetal
Thank you for your welcome. I have been correcting information and attributions on this page, as well as properly citing references for accuracy. There has been a request to add a photograph. If I receive permission from the show's creator for an image, where should any approved photograph be placed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hammerman Gunmetal (talk • contribs) 14:54, 13 October 2014 (UTC)


 * That would depend on the specific permission. To be usable on Wikipedia, we'd either need to claim fair use, as governed by the non-free content criteria); then it doesn't matter whether the show's creator has given permission, and the image should be uploaded to the File Upload Wizard with a specific explanation why use in that article is indeed fair use. Or, if the copyright holder has released the image under a free license that allows everybody to re-use and modify it for any purpose, including commercial purposes, we can upload it to the Wikimedia Commons via their Upload Wizard, but it may be necessary to present evidence of the licensing (see WP:Donating copyrighted content and WP:Requesting copyright permission).

Voice Farm
Should I add anything?--Voice Farmer (talk) 19:48, 18 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, the article has a tag that says: "This article needs additional citations for verification." So yes, adding reliable sources, such as articles about Voice Farm published by newspapers or reputable music magazines, would help. You may first want to have a look at our guideline on [[WP:COI|conflicts of interest, though, if you're affiliated with them as your user name suggests. Huon (talk) 21:59, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

List of English Football Clubs Record Home Attendances
This site is totally wrong as there is no Ewood Park in Accrington and there is no St. Andrews ground in Stevenage and on Wimbledon FC's official site it has the record as 18,080 vs HMS Victory at Plough Lane although they did have over 30,000 vs Man United when borrowing Selhurst Park from Crystal Palace so I can't see how they never got over 4,000 in all the years they were in the top flight also Man United's home ground is not Maine Road they borrowed it whilst there ground was being repaired and Arsenal's is not Wembley so these need redoing properly and Exeter have never passed round 4 of either domestic cup in their entire history according to the Guinness book of British Football Records there record is 17,014 vs Sunderland in Round 4 not Round 6 and plus there are 4 Welsh teams that have participated in the English League but it won't let you put down Newport County's or Wrexham's records down for some reason and Berwick Rangers are English but play in the Scottish League so I will see if I can compile a proper site because there is no list for record English League clubs home ground attendances including the 4 Welsh clubs but it has Cardiff and Swansea's on there but there not English so these false records of teams record home attendances at someone else's ground should be deleted if you look at Wimbledon's page MK Don's were forced to give AFC Wimbledon the FA Cup they won in 1988 as it was Wimbledon who won it not Milton Keynes plus I had put down every teams HOME attendance record since the introduction of promotion and relegation to and from the Conference Premier at the end of the 1986-87 season and yet some vandal has deleted all of them despite them having proper references (about 25 teams records were deleted) which took me months to find and then sort out and type in which is very awkward as when you click on cite it doesn't let you why is that.Statoholic (talk) 10:56, 20 October 2014 (UTC)


 * BracketBot only notified you because in the process you created some bracket mismatches in the process by removing half of a citation template. That has been fixed. You should discuss the content and scope of the list not here, but at its talk page, Talk:List of record home attendances of English football clubs. Huon (talk) 22:10, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

1995 FIFA World Youth tournament
Oh sorry, seems I lost my concentration on that one. Thanks for your notice. I've fixed the missing Penalty Kick links but I didn't make any edits about the second external link on the page (RSSSF > FIFA World Youth Championship > 1995). Am I still required to fix it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdaCiccone (talk • contribs) 10:41, 22 October 2014 (UTC)


 * That could be considered a false positive; it's meant to be mismatched. Changing it would probably be an improvement, but I doubt it's worth the effort unless you're editing the page anyway. Huon (talk) 01:16, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

DefconBot not running
I checked at DefconBot's status and contributions that this bot have stopped running right now. Why DefconBot's not running on Wikipedia at this time? -- Allen (talk to me! / ctrb / E-mail me) 21:38, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

BracketBot – section headers on user talk
Why does BracketBot use a meaningless header like "October 2014" when it posts a message on user talk pages? --JorisvS (talk) 18:53, 27 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Because that same section heading is used by, say, anti-vandal bots. It was hoped that vandal-fighters would thereby be more likely to see and address the issues BracketBot points out. You can get BracketBot to use a more meaningful header; see User:BracketBot. Huon (talk) 23:59, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Daily headers are just as meaningless. Dates in general do not announce the content of the section. Something like "Broken brackets" or even "BracketBot" would. --JorisvS (talk) 00:07, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
 * The daily headers are along the lines of "Bracket Errors on 28 October". Huon (talk) 00:29, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, then it is useful. Thanks. --JorisvS (talk) 00:33, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Look at What I Noticed on October 28
Hello, Bracketbot.

You're right. Very much right, really. Thank you so much for noticing the syntax-break I did. I apologize (to who? anyone who bothered seeing it, I guess) for that weird problem. And thank you so much for pointing it out to me. I genuinely appreciate it.
