Comment: I added a code snippet which contains both a start curly bracket w/o the ending and end tag bracket w/o the starting one, which caused the bot to think this is unintentional, I guess that since it is enclosed in a &lt;source> tag it did not actually break the syntax.

 * I would assume that even within, but
 * the  and   criticized were not mine.
 * I've tried to fix them by writing  etc. - is this the recommended way?

 * Mismatched "<>" are often false positives; the bot keeps an eye on them because they're used in HTML and pseudo-HTML tags such as, where a mismatch may have severe consequences. The bot cannot reliably tell when they're used to mean "less than" or "greater than", though. Thanks for fixing the ! Huon (talk) 19:40, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Jaeze (talk) 16:38, 9 January 2015 (UTC) Regarding: November 2014[edit] Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to List of poets from the United States may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s and 2 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

I did not see the item to correct it but I wish you would put the brackets back correctly so that they are done right.

Initially J S Shipman self-published but one of the poems got a poetry award and was published aas a result. The listing is because of the poetry award. Other Shipman works have been published as well. As to the question on notability Shipman is in a few Who's Who books, has a doctorate and has published magazine and refereed journal articles. Her poetry (and for that matter artwork) often are about sustainability. Shipman is a member of the writing communities TIBU and TIBUII. As a scientist, she was the first person to measure membrane potential in trees and created a cell stability index (published by the University of New Hampshire. She has worked as a botanist, teacher, and electrochemical engineer.Jaeze (talk) 16:38, 9 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia measures notability not by what a person has done, but by what others have written about her - we'd need articles about Shipman in newspapers or reputable magazines, or maybe published reviews of her literary or scientific work. The list of poets from the United States is supposed to only list people we have an article about, both because a mere name isn't particularly helpful and to prevent people from adding every Joe, Dick and Harry that ever wrote a few lines that rhymed. By the way, the reference you added gave me a "503 Service Unavailable" error message. The entry has since been removed, and I fixed the remaining unrelated mismatched parentheses.

I'm sorry, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to make a link to an online source Plesmond (talk) 21:50, 9 January 2015 (UTC)


 * See WP:Referencing for beginners on how to easily create nicely-formatted footnotes. However, I have removed the criticism section from the James Randi article and left an explanation at the talk page. Huon (talk) 03:03, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Comment/question:
 * Your bot claims that the arXiv link is erroneous, but it works fine.
 * http://arxiv.org/abs/1501.01375 Something is wrong with the citation template checker function

 * This is not a problem with the bot, but with the CS1 citations themselves. I suspect they check for the correct number of digits but haven't considered that the number of digits from 2015 onward is larger than before. There is an (incorrect) arxiv error noted on those pages, and the bot notifies you about it. I've left a note here. Huon (talk) 13:24, 10 January 2015 (UTC)


 * And we are already working on this. See Help talk:Citation Style 1/Archive 7. --  Gadget850talk 14:21, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
