Comment/question: Errors in referencing only appear when your bot makes its corrections to the specified page. If I have made any errors in referencing, please help me correct them. Thank you.

JayJ47 (talk) 03:21, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Unlike other bots, ReferenceBot never edits articles, it only notifies users of problems. That said, this indeed seems to be one of ReferenceBot's exceptionally rare false positives, one A930913 may want to look at. AnomieBOT indeed made matters worse by fixing only one of two names without quotation marks, but that's unrelated to the edit ReferenceBot notified you about. Huon (talk) 20:54, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello,

I am Tony Marcín, Francisco Icaza´s wife. He has left this world in may-2014, and have just discovered you are now talking about him. I´ve lived with him for 24 years, and there are some informations a little bit wrong and considered important to correct them. I will finish what I am doing today, and next time I will be logged in as Naranjadulce. Thank you, Tony Marcín

I have fixed the broken references. You should be aware, however, that Wikipedia content should be based on reliable published sources; your personal knowledge is not enough because there's no way for our readers to verify it. Huon (talk) 12:40, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

@Goldenstate707: You're in the wrong place. This is completely unrelated to the bracket issue BracketBot notified you about.

Mo Money, Mo Things Happening (talk) 16:43, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

BracketBot only counts brackets without much of a true understanding. When you fixed the infobox, another bracket problem remained, and since they had "canceled out" each other before your edit, BracketBot mistakenly believed you had caused the remaining issue. Fixed by Sfan00 IMG by now. Huon (talk) 20:32, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Comment/question: Bracketbot apparently doesn't understand that a paren as part of an href isn't part of the text (it represents an Ancient Greek accent).

Macrakis (talk) 20:47, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

True, but what's more likely: That a bracket mismatch in an URL is deliberate, or that it's an accident? Without having done a thorough statistical analysis, I'd assume the latter is more likely, and BracketBot looking at brackets in URLs probably is more of a benefit than a problem.

BracketBot – IqraG

Comment/question: It was however a misunderstanding that I broke a syntax rule. I simply added the ">" to make an arrow like this: "-->". I did not use it in any form of language, I just needed to depict an arrow to show by point more clearly.

IqraG (talk) 01:18, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

@IqraG: Using that kind of arrow usually is not a good idea; I'm pretty sure the Manual of Style does not endorse such arrows. It would probably be better to avoid such arrows, particularly since "-->" also is a HTML tag used at the end of comments - while not a problem right now, there might be unexpected side effects, for example if at some point in the future someone tries to comment out those arrows.

VickiZ (talk) 20:43, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Yes, this is something of a false positive, though one BracketBot didn't really have much of a chance to avoid. The > can be problematic because it's also used in HTML and HTML-like tags (such as the <ref> tag used for references), but in this instance it's not a problem.

Hardenheart (talk) 15:35, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

I have reverted your changes for a couple of reasons. Most importantly, the given sources did not say what they were cited for, and the article on one of the songs explicitly said that the sales figure of 22 million was for all versions of the song, not just for the specific single. Also, different-language Wikipedias use different citation templates. On the English Wikipedia, it's {{cite web}}. Huon (talk) 17:35, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Comment/question:It's nice you check these things, but could your bot maybe check the state it was left in, rather than just whether an edit added or dropped a bracket?

I believe I left what was broken fixed, so it was a bit of a surprise to be warned I might in fact have broken it!

SheamusPatt (talk) 21:52, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

BracketBot gives these kinds of warning if there are two bracket errors on a page that appear to "cancel out" each other and only one of them is fixed - the bot then wrongly assumes the user caused the remaining problem (which was listed among the "mismatched brackets".

Article will be complete shortly with all citations etc. Please let me know what improvements can be made, and I will ensure to get all documentation.

I have some doubts about severylof your sources. Take for example the second: I do not think the Saratov Conservatory's website so much as mentions Drozdoff. The sources cited for the review section seem much better, but they're only cited for promotional soundbites, not for any hard biographical facts. And even there one of the soundbites doesn't even mention Drozdoff.

That would turn it from a bot - basically a user who makes automated edits - into an extension of the MediaWiki software. That's beyond a bot operator's capabilities; you'd have to make that suggestion to the Wikimedia Foundation, which maintains the MediaWiki code.

Dear Bracket Bot, Thank you very much for pointing out the syntactical mistakes and the mistakes regarding the use " Oh" and the brackets. I will rectify these mistakes in a day or two. I am 74 years old and had worked very hard to compose these edits. I am trying to write more edits or articles as invited by the Wikipedia.

@Banda.krishna: Unfortunately I'll have to revert your edits. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and your lengthy retellings of semi-mythological events go beyond the scope of this project.

Brackets have l shaped tops and bottoms or scallops in the middle. So, is bracketbot a misnomer? I mean if we're into nonhuman semantics here, should we change your personal nomenclature? 99.200.102.78 (talk) 00:16, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

The occasions for smileys in Wikipedia articles (except smiley) are extremely rare, and this isn't one of them. I have removed the entire unsourced section. As an aside, while technically the bot could be named "Bracket-, Brace- and ParenthesisBot", that would be an unnecessarily unwieldy name.

@Morahim: You're welcome, thank you for fixing it. However, you should take a look at the references. Two different works by Karnowski are listed in the references, and I can't tell which footnotes are supposed to refer to which of them. The usual solution is to give the dates as "2001a" and "2001b"; the {{sfn}} template can then be given a parameter for the year, like this: {{sfn|Karnowski|2001a|p=221}}. The references will also need to be slightly modified to take full advantage of {{sfn}}; I'll take care of that. Huon (talk) 18:53, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

No. This should be discussed at Talk:Geoffrey Giuliano. Also, Wikipedia content should be based on reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

Diff:

Comment/question: Hello BracketBot: Thank you so much for your kind explanations! We have felt extremely compelled and so clearly motivated by them! However there's no war over Domiziano Arcangeli;s page we feel rather it is a troll, often deleting material! All main citations were taken by a mainstream article who had 1 million point two views and published by The Advocate. If you were to read you'd certainly find already a good half of the information contained in there! We don't feel there's any promotion, any embellishments, or anything preached or sugar coated material furnished! Mr. Arcangeli, Horror aside, has made some very important European films, and in fact, he has long pages in most World Wikipedia's, starting with Italy of course, but, some written in even other alphabets! We feel the American version is the only one truly not giving appropriate space to this actor, film producer and director! We have mentioned only a few basic pictures the actors had worked on in order to create an appropriate story and bio as he has in major International publications who were almost all cited but all disregarded! We were almost tempted to bring you citations from European or Middle Eastern Wikipedia's, but we gave up! We are truly sad however that such great cult actor with serious credits that have a spawn over 3 decades gets a 2 lines bio without even a picture, when he's been published all over the World since he was 12. Furthermore we noticed how much more space much minor actors, but even porn actors have in the US Wikipedia, also with a large use of of very (and sometime truly way too) kind definitions, making Arcangeli look like a nobody, by comparison! Now, again, we appreciate so much all of your support, and, we would like to let you know in extremely good faith that we would never post something untrue or would have a litigation with anyone at all! But, the facts remain evident, and, despite we again this time felt furnishing links from some of the most important International articles available at this time on the web, maybe because written in different languages - we were wondering - have been disregarded? In any case, also to immediately respond to the lack of the name of Domiziano Arcangeli in a film we had add, we are sending for your consideration, and, at your extremely kind attention, a few other links where it is clear that mr. Arcangeli is the male lead of the movie "Wrath of the Crows", and has received top billing (but again and not wanting to appear ungrateful or disrespectful of your time, we would like to point out that beside that particular link, of which we apologize, and are supplying immediately others, all the other links we had sent were truly testifying almost every word, if not actually taking away, from what we had written so truthfully and in good faith about this very unique cult actor, who's truly not treated appropriately by the US Wikipedia, and only by this one! Again, all other links were absolutely validating, if not even saying even more greater things, and, that almost every word, we had used in our little, but necessary bio was cited in such legit links. I wouldn't furthermore call Mr Arcangeli just an actor in Horror films, also, since he has worked with masters, among others, such as Fellini, Jacques Deray, Claude Chabrol, Eloy de La Yglesias, Giuseppe Patroni Griffi, Mauro Bolognini, Frankenheimer, Jess Franco, Luigi Bazzoni, Franco Brusati (Academy Award for "To Forget Venice" in 1980, Liliana Cavani (who has directed among others huge films such as "The Night Porter" in 1974), Tinto Brass ("Caligula" "Dropout'), Lucio Fulci, Zalman King, Sasha Baron Cohen, and, acted opposite many great stars, aside, of course, from the clearly extremely very substantial amount of Horror or Genre films, he had acted in and produced). Here, are a few links again regarding the movie you had mentioned, "Wrath of the Crows" showing clearly why we feel you may add to the very main cast, mr. Arcangeli: http://www.fangoria.com/new/excl-comments-world-premiere-info-wrath-of-the-crows/ , http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3227674/check-out-this-batsht-crazy-trailer-for-wrath-of-the-crows/ , http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/wrath_of_the_crows/ , http://www.moviefone.com/movie/wrath-of-the-crows/10139195/main We would so much appreciate your further participation in the future, if possible,in helping us creating a more comprehensive page for this great, again not only cult actor,but, ex fashion model, and, today also busy independent films producer and first time feature film director! Thank you so very much for your time and attention to our specific!

Alessio-Rossini (talk) 14:27, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

@Alessio-Rossini: First of all, who is "we"? Wikipedia does not allow shared use of accounts. If there's several people who want to edit, each of them should create an account of their own.

Secondly, I just checked several of your references , and all of them were problematic. Some they were not reliable, such as, say, a forum post by someone called "Thor76". We have a higher standard of verifiability than "a random person said so on the internet". Many others are mere cast listings that, while arguably showing that Arcangeli acted in this movie or that, write not even a single sentence about him and provide no useful information. The reprint of the Canberra Times article on Eileen Ford's death didn't even mention Arcangeli at all; it certainly did not back up the claim that he became a fashion model "in demand". Those are not the kinds of sources the biography of a living person should be based on. Thirdly, the tone of the article was unduly promotional; for that reason alone reverting your edit would have been justified. Finally, WP:TLDR may be of interest to you.

Also, if there is an acceptable reference, where do I fond the original text of editing I was trying to make?

@Jennerbrian: Print sources are entirely acceptable; you should provide enough bibliographical details to allow our readers can look up the newspaper in a library archive. See WP:Referencing for beginners on how to easily cite newspaper articles. Your personal reminiscences, however, are not an appropriate source - surely you'll agree that an encyclopedia should have higher standards than "some perrson on the internet said so". Please also keep in mind that the article is about helicopter prison escapes - that should be the focus of the entry, not your personal exploits.

You can email us at tmasonmi5@aol.com or call as in New York City 917 544 5425. We are very concerned if we have done anything wrong and would certainly like to rectify this problem. Thank Ted Mason and everyone at Mi5 Recordings (Dave Carlson, Scott Brockway, Tafari Brown, India Thompson, Jennifer Brunetti, Monty Mason, Frank Coleman, Mike Esterson, Solana Payne).

@Tmasonmi5: You should take a look at our guideline on conflicts of interest. Writing about yourself is strongly discouraged because it's very difficult to maintain a neutral point of view when doing so. Of the sources you added, the The Record article looks like a reliable, independent source. YouTube, Reverbnation, iTunes and the rest, not so much - those are not subject to editorial oversight; some are written by yourself or by people acting on your behalf; others have a commercial agenda (ie they're out to sell your work). Claims of grandeur should not be backed up merely on your self-representation, but by third-party coverage. I'll remove the content you added since it was not backed up by any such sources and read like an advertisement for your latest release.

On an unrelated note, I'm also concerned by your use of "we" - Wikipedia accounts may not be shared by multiple people. If several persons at Mi5 Recordings want to edit Wikipedia, each of them should create an account of their own. Huon (talk) 23:03, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Comment/question: I'm not sure what problems the bot is notifying me about. I don't see anything wrong with the page.

CodeCat (talk) 20:34, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

BracketBot keeps an eye on mismatched "less than" and "greater than" signs because they're used in HTML tags and Wikipedia's pseudo-HTML, where a mismatch can cause severe problems (for example, a broken </ref> tag can make half an article disappear from view). On the Proto-Greek language article, those signs are used in a linguistic context, but BracketBot isn's smart enough to realize the context - it thinks they're mismatched and notifies users of the potential issue. So this is a false positive that can be ignored. There are also some truly mismatched parentheses, but those are part of a quote, and the quoted book apparently already contains those errors.

You can safely rely on the accuracy of the correction done.

Unfortunately we cannot. Wikipedia requires reliable published sources. There's no way our readers can verify what his nephew told you. This requirement becomes doubly important when there might be nationalist interests at work and when there are multiple competing claims.

That page has been speedily deleted multiple times. The most recent version was blatant spam and cited no reliable sources. If that was your third attempt to write an article on that subject, you should better stop trying until you have a better understanding of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, particularly on notability, verifiability and a neutral point of view. If you simply re-create the article again, it seems likely that the page will be deleted again and protected against creation, or you may even be blocked from editing.

@Miramaribelle: You may want to check out WP:Referencing for beginners; the video at that page explains how to easily create nicely-formatted footnotes. There's also a somewhat trickier template, {{sfn}}, that's useful when multiple pages of the same book are cited throughout the same article; I've added that for Stuart's autobiography. On an entirely unrelated note, you may want to check out our guideline on conflicts of interest.

The bot isn't that good at determining what causes a bracket mismatch, ie what brackets don't belong.

Thank you so very much, BracketBot, for your excellent guidance. I see you didn't work on my article yesterday--or at least, I don't think you did. But I'm most grateful for the editing you did--now I do think I've got the gist of it, what sorts of things to omit--and for your comments about my being Stuart's (not "Gloria's"!) daughter. It's a big big help. Also I hope I understand better about what goes into the footnotes. What I really would appreciate--although I'm hoping to finish today (it's noon in California as I write this)--is where the shortcut is for {{sfn|||page=}} . I looked in "Named references" but the only pertinent reference in a weird list is "Hello." The autobiography isn't listed. And I've tried to search all over the place for the way to it. One last thing: am I right in noting that Wiki's style is not to have the comma after "and" in a list? I understand about it in "cats, rats, and mice..." being "cats, rats and mice." But what about when the "and" connects phrases, such as "Stuart went out to play hopscotch, then she stood on her head, then she did a little jig, AND now she's in the shower singing a song." ??? Warmest best. And my husband asks me to ask where you are--and are you employed by Wiki to do this fine work or simply a generous good-hearted soul?

MARTIN MAGNER directed plays by George Bernard Shaw and Gerhart Hauptmann in pre-Nazi Germany, was dramaturg of the German Opera House, Prague in the late 30's until the Nazi takeover. In the USA Magner directed early television, including such series as The Goldbergs. Magner directed theater plays in Los Angeles throughout the 70's and into the 90's. His last play was Friedrich Duerrenmatt's PLAY STRINDBERG starring Salome Jens. Magner was probably the oldest practicing stage director at that time.

As Yngvadottir explained on your talk page, you should use the Article Wizard to write a draft on Magner.

Provt (talk) 20:49, 25 September 2014 (UTC) Hi you have juts told me I have violated the bracket rules on Phil Pringle's page - can you tell me exactly what i have done ? Sorry for not understanding, thank you. Provt.

There were some opening parentheses that did not have corresponding closing parentheses. However, what you wrote seemed pretty promotional and did not cite any reliable third-party sources. Such sources are required to provide neutral coverage, not just an author's self-assessment. Thus I have reverted your changes. If newspapers or literary journals have reviewed Pringle's books, those reviews may serve as sources for encyclopedic coverage. Huon (talk) 22:05, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Comment/question: This is a Poc of asecurity attack, so the malformation is deliberate

OK, but I don't think this false positive could easily be avoided. Huon (talk) 01:07, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

You have not provided enough information to allow others to pinpoint the issue. ReferenceBot doesn't seem to have ever notified you, so this probably is not a ReferenceBot issue. Huon (talk) 01:07, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

You added a vast amount of what appears to be largely unrelated content copy-pasted from elsewhere without reliable sources to back it up. I have reverted your edit. When you add content to Wikipedia, please make sure that firstly, the content is relevant to the article you add it to, and secondly, your changes are supported by reliable published sources.

Comment/question: You reported that I eliminated a bracket. That is true, but it was an extraneous, unneeded bracket that I had typed by mistake in an earlier edit. The line in question is this: discogs.com image. Retrieved 26 September 2014.</ref> I had typed a bracket after 2014, and it did not belong. So I deleted it on my next edit. There is now just a pair of brackets, as there should be, enclosing the external link to discogs.com. I hope this clarifies the situation.

The bot notified you about the edit where you added that bracket, not when you removed it, so this is all fixed. Thanks. See Help:Diff on what a "diff" is in Wikipedia parlance. Huon (talk) 01:07, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
