Thank you
Thank you for fixing up the John Farnham references on the page for Olivia Newton-John. I appreciate it very much. Figaro (talk) 07:30, 27 August 2015 (UTC)


 * The bot doesn't fix the references, it only notifies human editors so they can fix them. Huon (talk) 02:02, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

BracketBot – Cornelia Te
Hello, you have left me message regarding a broken syntax on the Nestlé page. I didn't quite understand what and where the broken syntax is. Would you mind giving more details so that I can correct it? Many thanks Cornelia Te (talk) 08:31, 31 August 2015 (UTC)Cornelia Te


 * You added a surplus closing square bracket to one external link, and you seem to have removed half of another reference, including the curly brackets. Windharp and I have fixed the issues. Huon (talk) 02:02, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

 * It's been down since the 20th of August. 930913 hasn't edited since January 2015, though I believe he spoke on IRC a few months ago (dunno when, he uses a BNC so I wouldn't know) --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!   See what I have done  03:06, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

 * This was his response on IRC last night:

I need help
I noticed that you follow the work of 68.172.212.90. I am following the article Benveniste. He is continuously making changes in the article that are without proper sources. He is promoting the name 'vienvenisti' for some reasons without proper sources. I am reinstating the old versions, making notes in the Talk. He also made changes in Dona Gracie which looks to me as self promoting 'She married into the eminent international banking and finance company Palenzuela Ha Levi Vienveniste known as the House of Mendes'. Can you help?(Rafi Benvenisti 13:11, 5 September 2015 (UTC)) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Refael benvenisti (talk • contribs)


 * Firstly, BracketBot is just an automated program that notifes people of mismatched brackets. If you consider that "following the work", then BracketBot follows everybody's work, including yours and mine. Secondly, that particular BracketBot notification was made more than a year ago. There's no guarantee that the same person still uses that IP address. Thirdly, the edits on the Benveniste article were also several months ago, and my advice would be to simply revert them.

BracketBot – scottrainey
A bot deleted my contribution because of an external link to youtube. How do I argue with a 'bot?


 * I checked all your edits back to April and didn't find the one you're asking about. Can you please provide a diff or at least a link to the page? In general, YouTube is not a reliable source; there are very few reasons to link to YouTube. Huon (talk) 23:28, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Strong beliefs are not enough, on Wikipedia we need reliable published sources. See WP:Referencing for beginners on how to cite such sources. Huon (talk) 22:11, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I don't understand making wrong in above. I think it's correct. See your info at my User-Site. Thanking for your answer in advance with regards -- Sweepy (talk) 22:36, 11 September 2015 (UTC)


 * There was a closing parenthesis after the names in various languages that originally matched the opening parenthesis before "Slovak". By adding a closing parenthesis after "Slovak", you created a mismatch. Huon (talk) 02:36, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

vevo
Okay! I have already edited the citation in List of most viewed Vevo videos and it is already okay. Thank you.. B.R.A.D. (talk) 11:27, 21 September 2015 (UTC)


 * OK, thank you for fixing it. Huon (talk) 22:45, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Potential issue with BracketBot
Hi A930913. BracketBot just made this edit to my talk page. There are three things about this that seem sub-optimal:
 * 1) The post was plopped in the middle of another discussion, in the middle of the talk page
 * 2) No heading
 * 3) Excessive white space

I assume that this is not normal behavior, so I thought I should report it.- MrX 18:44, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
 * , I'm not sure if I posted this in the wrong place, or if it should be posted at WP:BOTN. In any case, I'm going to take this page off my watch list so please ping me if you reply.- MrX 15:14, 22 September 2015 (UTC)


 * That is how it's intended. The bot uses, if available, the "September 2015" (or whatever month it is) section instead of creating its own. The whitespace then is necessary to set off the bot's comments. You can set it to use more specific headers if you want to; see User:BracketBot on how to do so. Huon (talk) 22:45, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
 * OK. Thanks for the explanation Huon.- MrX 22:51, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

'Comment/question:

I don't know what your bot is talking about - just changed the spelling on the page from American English to actual English. Is this a problem??

 * You also accidentally turned a ">" into an "s", which had surprisingly far-reaching side effects. Fixed. Huon (talk) 18:35, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
