BracketBot – Asking for help
Hi BracketBot, I'm Lee from Singapore. Recently I have a disagreement with User:Gunkarta in Soto (food) article. Please see the Talk:Soto (food) in section about redundancy. I am very disappointed with Gunkarta that can not accept the fact. BracketBot, believe me,i did not make any changes without the facts and sources. What I have found, the statement from anthropologist from the University of Gadjah Mada, Dr Lono Simatupang, according to him, the soup called soto is a mixture of various traditions and not Indonesian cuisine alone. In it there are local influences and other cultures. Noodles in soup, for example, comes from the Chinese tradition. China was the one that had the technology to make noodles and glass noodles. He also state that soto is also the possibility of influences from Indian culture. There are several uses of turmeric soup. It's like a curry from India, he said. Because the soup is a mixture of various traditions. Denys Lombard in his book Le Carrefour Javanais also suggested that the origin of soto was a Chinese soup called caudo. I did not deny it is origin from Indonesia and it is a part of Indonesian cuisine, but i only modify it as Indonesia cuisine derived from Chinese cuisine in infobox. The issue, Gunkarta can not accept the modification of the infobox even agree that it derived from Chinese cuisine. For me, infobox is very important such as full article. All the facts in the infobox should be adjusted as in the full article, however it must be in short but clear(see the soto talk page). Put in Indonesian cuisine in infobox as a creator with not mentioned the truth fact, it is good in ethic of writing? I just make little modification it derived from Chinese cuisine, 'caudo', but based on facts and sources, thats all. So, am I wrong, BracketBot? I hope you can understand what is my intention. I know you are very knowledgeable person and you can make good judgment. User:Lee788


 * You're in the wrong place. BracketBot is an automated program that notifes you about mismatched brackets, nothing else. If you're looking for wider community input on whether or not the infobox at Soto (food) should mention presumed Chinese influences, the talk page of a related WikiProject, such as WT:WikiProject Food and drink, would be a much better venue.

Romanian Admin (Turbojet) abuse report
Dear BraketBot,

First of all: am a writer, special correspondent a very known journalist in Romania. Almost 30 years of journalism activity. More than 4 years embedded with Romanian, US, Italian, British troops in Kosovo, Afghanistan and most of time in Irak. You can find my name on Google ‘Radu Dobritoiu”, Radu Costin Dobritoiu” etc. President of Romania distinguish me with a special decoration ”Culture Merit”. I published on Wikipedia a fragment on my published book “Afghanistan, a land forget in time”, Encicopedic Editure, Romania 2002. One of your Romanian admin (with your support) delete my contribution. It’s imposiible for me to put a link with a published book. But, after All… Your Romanian Admin with nickname “Turbojet” already ofensed me here: https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discu%C8%9Bie_Utilizator:Radu_Dobritoiu He make me a “bovine” (Bou in Romanian). I need apollogise from your admin. Also, If Wikipedia use admin like this: Please delete my account! Shame… It’s a shame. I’m a journalist, I’am a writer. I’m not the Wikipedia “Bovine” for “Turbojet”. Radu Dobritoiu (talk) 21:25, 9 February 2015 (UTC)


 * The Romanian Wikipedia is not a sub-project of the English Wikipedia, and admins here and there are unrelated and do not hold power over each other. In particular, the Romanian administrator deleting the content about your book did not have (or need) support from the English Wikipedia. Bringing disputes from one wiki onto another wiki is both useless and strongly frowned upon.


 * Thank you, A930913. User:Radu Dobritoiu, although speaking Romanian, did not understand my message (clear by the way) that I and others use username instead of our own name because we do not want to be called "bovine" on facebook, not that he would. I know that its intervention is not appropriate here, but I want to inform you properly. Now on ro:wp he is blocked (not by me) for WP:NPA (threats to disclose my real name - but I would not really affect). --Turbojet (talk) 09:05, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

QPQ check
Hello, I noticed you created a beta version of this tool six months ago to replace the one Scottywong previously maintained over on toolserver. The tool works as it should: searching user talk pages for DYK banners and returning a list. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work with usernames containing spaces - Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Fix the tools?. Could you tweak the code to rectify this?

 * ✅ by Betacommand. See [//tools.wmflabs.org/betacommand-dev/cgi-bin/dyk.py?user=USERNAME] for a direct link to the tool to check a user. — Soap — 17:23, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
