Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=574934461 your edit] to Kevin-Prince Boateng may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. 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 [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=User:A930913/BBpreload&editintro=User:A930913/BBeditintro&minor=&title=User_talk:A930913&preloadtitle=BracketBot%20-%20&section=new my operator's talk page]. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 00:01, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Timestamp
Hi, I just wanted to inform you that timestamps are not for " for Qed's benefit". (Watch out so I dont warn you for personal attack). The timestamp is used to know as of when statistics are correct and must be updated or else it is a disruptive edit. What if timestamp had not been updated sine 2011 and people add goals after that? That is false information when articles says "as of 2011". Please accept this and always add this (and not attack other editors) in the future. Thank you. QED 237  (talk)  15:27, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Then why would you say "Big dog". It is obvious you dont want to update timestamps, but please use a good tone. QED 237   (talk)  15:46, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

It's a term of affection. I like you, friend. You seem like a really nice, affable guy. I'm just at a loss to understand why you'd revert someone's edits entirely over the singular and rather small issue of a timestamp. It would have saved us both time if you had simply left a message on my talk page informing me I had failed to update it, allowing me to swiftly correct my mistake without having to re-do my edits. If you could brush up on your interaction with other users I'm certain it would make Wikipedia a better place. :) Ribaldry (talk) 15:50, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay I did not get that at all, but I will think about what you have said to improve my editing in the future. You could have re-undone my edit and added timestamp in the same move (while undoing), that would have been fine. QED 237   (talk)  15:53, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Qed237. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. No reason for name calling QED 237   (talk)  15:40, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
