Comment/question: A table was broken (someone had removed the closing bracket), so I added a single unpaired bracket to fix the table. Perhaps you could have the bot check to see if the page previously had any unpaired brackets?

Nyttend (talk) 22:53, 23 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Technically, the table didn't have unpaired brackets. The line just above your addition of  was | K - 8th Grade   I don't think BracketBot detects table problems, just brackets.  AWB will also not see that as an error.  There are a couple of other cases that technically are not broken brackets, but the table is broken anyway.  For example, tables that end in   or a line just containing  .  CheckWiki error 28 does detect these table problems. Bgwhite (talk) 05:03, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Comment/question: I fixed the missing right paren. But I wanted to make it a better reference, by putting it into the refrence section. Bout that does not allow two publishers.

The original was published by MacMillan, around 1866, but just now (17 Auig 2015) has again become avilable as a reprint from the Iniversity of Michigan, It is the source of much of the inforamtion cited by the other major refrence in that section, Fischer. I'd like both publishers to show, just out of fairness. How can that be done? GioCM (talk) 00:48, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Books can be from a multitude of publishers, think of how many publishers have put out Charles Dickens or Mark Twain books. Therefore, you use the publisher of the book that you are referencing.  Every book can be different, amount of pages for example.  If you refer to page 100 in one book, it might be on page 120 in another. Bgwhite (talk) 05:09, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

 * That's not what the bot noted. The bot's message was about a missing "url=" that Jonesey95 added with this edit, fixing the broken reference. Since the URL itself included an equality sign, the citation template interpreted the part of the URL before that equality sign as a parameter name (which it then didn't recognize) and the part after the equality sign as the value of that parameter. (If you had omitted the "url=" and the URL hadn't included an equality sign, the citation template still wouldn't have recognized that the parameter was supposed to be the URL, but the error message may have been a little more helpful.)

Hi.
 * 1) Could be that I fixed the trouble, however the bot does not provide as much identifying information as it could about the reference that raised the alert. In my case, I had just finished correcting many bad references and citations on a single page, so it would have been useful for me to have included in the alert, say, a paste of the snippet that caused the error.
 * 2) So I made what I think is the fix, and I would like to verify it by running the bot myself on that particular page. Is that possible? If it is possible, let me suggest to include instructions either in the alert posted to an editor's talk page, or on the bot's page. The (maybe obvious) advantages of this are that it saves editors' time, and avoids readers being confronted with a bad reference.

—Boruch Baum (talk) 00:55, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

 * The errors ReferenceBot points out are marked in red in the article proper. In this case, the error is Text "By MIKE PRESTON " ignored, affecting footnote 13. Fixed now. Due to the rather wide-ranging nature of the errors ReferenceBot notifies about, and due to the method of error detection which I presume makes use of Category:Pages with citations using unnamed parameters and the like, highlighting the error on the notified user's talk page in addition to the article itself would unfortunately be rather difficult.

 * That's a known issue. The bot keeps an eye on "less than" and "greater than" signs because they're used for HTML and tags where a mismatch can have rather severe consequences. It's not smart enough to distinguish between those uses and use as "greater than", so the latter will lead to false positives.

The caption of the image file I uploaded was not showing in full. So I deleted the image. If I have mutilated the page, it was unintentional. Also I would like proper simple guidelines on the placement of multimedia objects in a page.


 * Some brackets were left from your edits; I removed those. You may want to take a look at the picture tutorial, particularly the section on galleries. Huon (talk) 13:17, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Page: Mount Meru distance in kilometers and miles with two improper parentheses/brackets foundeth by mine eyes.

Diff:

Comment/question: I tooketh out two incorrectly used brackets aka parentheses, which denotedeth a change from kilometers to miles. However, I did asketh of myself if the miles mentioned wereth US miles or the miles often used in other countries, which tend to be longer in distance. Thanketh You!

Bonq~enwiki (talk) 08:20, 5 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Since the difference between the Imperial mile and the US Survey mile, the only miles still in common use which might be abbreviated "mi", is miniscule, I don't think it matters all that much what convert does. The template uses 1 mi = 1609.344 m, which is the more commonly used international mile. Huon (talk) 22:54, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Bonq~enwiki (talk) 20:10, 5 April 2016 (UTC)I re-thoughteth the edit and did changeth the format to refineth thy original text. Thy original text contained one lost and bereft bracket between km and the useth of miles. Feeling its grief, I senteth the lone bracket/parentheses to Heaven. I hopeth thou approveth of my action. Amen.


 * I rather don't think that's an improvement; it seemed built only to avoid the double brackets created by use of convert. I have reinstated that template and put the measurement in earth's diameters back within the parentheses. Huon (talk) 22:54, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Comment/question: I simply corrected an error in Hardy's quote by replacing "due to" with "because of" — that's all. I have no idea how that change could have broken anything. I don't believe it did.

Bammie73 (talk) 01:42, 20 April 2016 (UTC)


 * If you check the diff the bot gave on your talk page, you'll find you did more than just replace "due to" with "because of" - you also removed a ">" from the end of a reference tag. That broke the reference tag and led to the notification by the bot. Your edit has since been reverted, fixing the reference issue. Huon (talk) 20:15, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Another editor has since reverted that edit because such a long quote raises issues of copyright and because there's no reason to include it in the footnote - readers who want the full quote can follow the link and read it on the original page. Huon (talk) 20:15, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
