hi, im sorry but i dont know how to fix the page. I just added MASH to the actors credits but the year is also wrong it should be 1980...apologies

It's great that you wanted to add his M*A*S*H credit, but overwriting his Gunsmoke TV movie wasn't the correct way to do it. Editing tables can be challenging.

This was not a false positive. You added references below the {{reflist}} template, not above it within the article text itself; that did cause an error because the template can only display footnotes defined above it. Frze fixed that, but the footnotes should be moved out of the references section altogether and should instead be put immediately after the statements they're cited for.

Sunplant (talk) 23:47, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

If a Wikipedia page does not allow me to display my hard earned accoplishments and someone else can delte my entries, then it's time for my whole page/entry to be deleted. This all started because there was a notice that my page needed links, which I tred to add. After years of having no problem, this is just too much trouble. These confusions is not worth it. Thank you

Wikipedia is not the place for self-promotion. You provided not a single third-party source for all your hard-earned accomplishments; thus they were removed. Also, you do not own that article; it seems that you do satisfy Wikipedia's guideline for notability; thus we will have an article about you even if it doesn't look the way you would like it to look. You should also take a look at our guideline on conflicts of interest. Writing about yourself is not a good idea. Huon (talk) 00:44, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Comment/question: mathematics like $n >1$ is interpreted like mistake. :-( (and the smiles too) :-( EdwardGoldobin (talk) 00:25, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

These are known issues. The bot keeps an eye on <> because they're used for HTML tags where a mismatch can easily make half an article vanish from sight. That's vastly more common on Wikipedia than the mathematical use. Smileys are much rarer still; I expect a "smiley detector" that wouldn't have false positives of its own would be exceedingly difficult to program and not worth the few smileys within articles.

Weglinde (talk) 13:15, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

The bot checks only new edits, not articles, and it produces a notification only if a new edit adds mismatched brackets. So technically you could deliberately add a mismatched bracket to a page to have the bot point out all issues on that page, but I wouldn't recommend that. Instead I double-checked the old bot messages; all seems to be resolved now. Huon (talk) 23:36, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Comment/question: I've raised this issue before, apparently to no avail, but I'll try again. BracketBot notices appear in my talk page at a section with the title ==<Month> <Year>==. If that section does not exist, and BracketBot creates it at the end of my talk page, that's fine. But when BracketBot insists on leaving all further messages within this page section, even after the page has moved on with other discussions, it makes it VERY hard to find the later notices. Can you please update the BOT to place new notices at the bottom of a user's talk page? Perhaps with a new heading "Notes from BracketBot" or something like that? Thanks!

ReferenceBot – A1Houseboy

User:A930913 {{User:A930913/BBresolved|yes}}

Page: The original reason for reviewing the issue in question was the article on The English Patient (1996; movie) that had a distinction from the British Oscar equivalent which The English Patient page was linked to the BFI top 100 films article which then used a url source that shows up as an error message--page not found. But the url on the BFI website had been updated and when that was used to update the reference that is when the error message came up with Wiki

Diff:

Comment/question: The way the current BFI article is set up is that it states what were at the time the list was established as the top 100 British films So when links are to that page it is to an older list that at some time may be reissued with the latest top 100 filmslist. So the article should probably be changed to the BFI's top 100 films list"s" and the table in it used to track the rank of each movie on each list. I believe I left a note on the talk page about this to get a consensus about it. But I am concerned that if there are other articles that link to that article then how is it possible to identify all the links so that as part of the project the links can be updated? I suggested this because there is an American Institute of Film top 100 lists article with a table that includes each succeeding list. So that article will have a continuing value whereas the BFI article stays at the issuance of the original list.

The bot has roughly a 50-50 chance of getting something like this right: Should it consider the outermost bracket mismatched, or the innermost? I agree that when the bot gets it wrong it's both confucing and possibly a lot of work to find the true error, but I can't think of a way to guarantee better results without giving the bot a full understanding of wiki syntax, and even that wouldn't help if it were merely parentheses in text.

Huon (talk) 22:51, 17 February 2014 (UTC)ReferenceBot – NablaUser:A930913 {{User:A930913/BBresolved|yes}} I was warned that a edit of mine produced a URL error. Given I have edited a bunch of URLs it would be much helpful if you had pointed out exactly what triggered the error detection algorithm. Note that he report page / template is completely obnoxious, it turns a relatively simple task, writing a report, into a scary thing, with a big, huge, box on the top of the page overlapping some mysterious text that may or may not be important (apparently it is not, « [...] then clickest thou mouse pointer towards thy "Save Page" button, who registering the click, shall send it. Amen.»?! Really, that is report instructions?). Nabla (talk) 14:35, 17 February 2014 (UTC)The error will show up in red on the article in question, usually either in the references section or, for more severe errors, in the place where the reference itself is. See here. For at least some of the errors the bot will notify users about it may be difficult to point out which part of the edit caused them, but for URL errors and the like that should be possible. The report page is the standard edit window, with a custom text that's supposed to hide what you normally see when you edit A930913's talk page, but obviously doesn't quite (thanks for pointing that out!), and some stuff for archival purposes. Huon (talk) 22:51, 17 February 2014 (UTC)Thank you. Oh! Good thing there is a silly box, so we do not need to see the text beneath it, though I actually was more worried about the pre-loaded text.

Williams: Thank you for fixing the bracket issue. However, that article's sources need quite a bit of cleanup. Many are not the independent, reliable sources we should be using. This in particular includes blogs and Wikipedia itself. It looks even worse than it is because the "last=" and "first" parameters of citation templates are meant to refer to the author of the source, not the article's subject - I doubt Prudden wrote the NYT article about her own death, for example, but it looks as if she did. Huon (talk) 21:02, 20 February 2014 (UTC)Hello, thank you for your support and help in this endeavor. I have a couple of questions and wanted to check with you first before I make changes. Are you saying that it is not a good idea to use a Wikimedia link as a citation? Also, I did read that personal blogs should not be cited and are you saying the blog that I cited from a University still comes under this category? Would it be best for me to stay away from blogs altogether? I do understand that I have made a mistake with some of the citations by not putting the name of the author of the article in the proper space. I think I got confused when I could not find the author of the piece and thought I should put the subjects name in. Should I leave it blank when no author is listed? Or should I not use the citation if I can not find an author? Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it. Joanna R. Williams — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joanna R.

I happen to be the chairlady of subcommittee for the South-South Nigeria Rugby Football Federation which is a government administration. I tried opening a page for the SSNRFF but it was deleted. Then I tried editing the NRFF to include the SSNRFF which was created by the NRFF November 2013 in Abuja after an election. Unfortunately you deleted the edit again. Please advice me on what is expected of us. I have editing the SSNRFF page again and submit I hope this time we are doing the right thing.Thanks Flourish Comment/question: Flourishabumere (talk) 19:33, 24 February 2014 (UTC)Wikipedia content should be based on reliable sources that are independent of the subject, such as articles in newspapers and reputable sports magazines. Neither the South-South Nigeria Rugby Football Federation article nor the main Nigeria Rugby Football Federation article satisfies this standard. My suggestion would be to first improve the article on the national federation, not the one on the zonal federation. You should also take a look at our guideline on conflicts of interest. Writing about a topic you're closely associated with is not a good idea because it's difficult to maintain a neutral point of view.

It's a pity that the first method broke the syntax rules ! Is there a third way ?@Scotsrocker: Roman numerals are usually displayed by letters - I, V, X, L, C, D, and M. Why would you name Charles 2, "Charles 11"? At the very best that would be ambiguous. So Charles II is the way it's supposed to be. That said, While Charles II was king of both England and Scotland, the United Kingdom was founded decades after his reign via the Acts of Union.

The ">" the bot mentioned were actually false positives; BracketBot keeps an eye on those because they're used in HTML tags, where a mismatch could make half an article vanish. Using them as "arrows" or even as "greater than" will then cause BracketBot warnings about a potential mismatch. I believe there is a tool on the toolserver that can duplicate BracketBot's bracket analysis for a specific page on command, but I can't find it right now, and I dont't think there are remaining problems on that article that would require such a tool.
